We travel Bali to discover authentic Indonesian cuisine at The Seminyak Beach Resort & Spa
Full of intense, vibrant and complex f lavours, Indonesian food embodies the wide cultural diversity found across the country’s archipelago of 6,000 populated islands. Of those islands, Bali – AKA the ‘Island of Gods’ – in particular has become a hotspot of late for travellers seeking colourful cuisine made using locally-grown, nutrient-rich ingredients, immersive cultural experiences, breathtaking sunsets, resorts dedicated to health and wellness, all paired with warm and welcoming hospitality.
In recent years, Bali’s food scene has seen an influx of cool cafés, street food stalls (known as warungs), hipster bars, dreamy beach clubs and fine dining restaurants that have attracted worldwide attention from top-tier chefs and TV shows like Netflix’s Chef’s Table which showcased Chef Will Goldfarb’s restaurant, Room 4 Dessert in Ubud (room4dessert.com).
Cooking styles around the island draw influence from early Chinese, Indian, Arabic and Dutch traders and settlers, which is what makes the local cuisine so intense. With many warungs located around Bali, traditional dishes like rendang, nasi goreng and satay can be found on most street corners being sold from the back of push bikes or makeshift stalls – making real Balinese flavours easily accessible to visitors at a low cost.
Bali is a fantastic destination for food travellers, and during our recent visit to the Seminyak area of the island, we visited The Seminyak Resort & Spa to learn more of the local traditions and culinary options on offer.
