Additional Information

The ‘Genuine Culinary Journey’

In 2012, UNESCO recognized the Pakerisan River Valley, situated to the northeast of Ubud, as a Cultural Heritage Site. Its mysterious river valley homes ancestral landmarks dating back to the 8th - 12th centuries. The ancient animistic ideologies, along with Hindu and Buddhist influences travelled from India to Bali via the Javanese domains.
In Bali, chefs are termed as Belawa, a term derived from a Buddhist doctrine, precisely Buddha Bhairawa.
The unique Balinese cuisine incorporates a blend of 8 mountain-gathered spices symbolizing the 8 wind directions and 2 dualism symbols from the sea representing the center.
This concoction, known as the complete sauce “Basa Gede”, lends a peculiar flavor to Balinese dishes.
