Bumbu Bali is a very much celebrated restaurant in Bali
*pls do not compare this one with the one at Bandar Puteri Puchong*
it is the finest and extremely authentic restaurant that serve purely Balinese food just the way how it's being served at most Balinese homes
Opened in 1997 by Chef Heinz von Holzen
*ok he's Swiss*
together with his lovely wife Puji
Chef Holzen is very much a Balinese himself
He's a chef, an entrepreneur and also a writer
famously known as the person whom introduced Balinese food to the eyes of the world
the ambience is really beautiful
with 4 pavilions and lotsa open space with frangipani trees around
Monkey specifically requested for a table under the STARS!!!!
reservation was made errr 3-4 weeks in advance, just in case
coz at this place u can't walk in and demand for a table
it's FULL every single nite
The restaurant was very accommodating
we called to get them to arrange for a transport for us
and so they picked us up right on time
and prollie our forehead were written with words "I'm HUNGRY"
coz despite all the tourists at the lobby...the driver knew exactly which one is his customer
kekekekkekekekekeke
the boys!!! with lil frangipani on their head
it's a tradition for men and women to display flowers on their hair
upon entering the restaurants we were greeted with "Selamat Malam"
by the friendly team and chefs at the open kitchen counter
and hostess adorn flowers on our head
yeah JS & Monkey went to Bali early for a short holiday before joining
the rest of the family members for the WEDDING
the staffs were decked in very traditional and yet comfortable Balinese attire
headgear/scarf and the checkered sarongs
1st course was the kinda spicy onion soup
Bernard da Joker was in shock looking at the 2 beautiful chilis by the side of the bowl
"Are we suppose to eat this? GAH!!!!"
Friendly hostess replied in politeness: "It is a decoration Sir, please do not consume it."

2) Bumbu Bali
Reservation for this suckling piglet has to be made in advance
and at the beginning we have no idea how big/small it's gonna be
Diah fr Bumbu Bali informed us that it's for 6 guests...
we were pondering away....and kept on imagining it's gonna be HUGE
but thank god it was just the right size for the 6 of us
especially the boys are still growing up and eat so much

the Babi Guling here is different fr Ibu Oka

*was it tapioca leaves??*
and it was so good to eat on its own
pipping steaming hot white rice and unpolished rice
its grain were so fat and fluffy served with fried shallots on top
