Balinese cooking class at Airlangga
November 19th, 2007
In celebration of a successful Balinese food festival, the Ritz-Carlton Jakarta is closing the festival today with a special followed by lunch.
For the past week, Airlangga has offered guests special Balinese dishes such as bulung Nusa (baked squid decorated with long pepper), siap betutu (chicken cooked with traditional Balinese spices), sapi base manis (jerk beef), sate lilit (smoked chicken satay) and tum bubuk (boiled chopped duck wrapped in banana leaves).
Throughout this promotion guests have been entertained with traditional dances, painting exhibitions and a handicraft display.
Performance of pendet dance, kecak dance and the traditional music of Rindik marked last Saturday’s opening of the festival named “Enchanting Bali”. Guest chef Nyoman “Lother” Arsana, who wrote The Food of Bali in 1993, said that the recipes had been inherited from their ancestors.
“What we do is revitalizing the food performance, hygeine and texture in order to go down with international flavor,” he said. He has traveled to Thailand, Australia, New Zealand, Taiwan, Singapore, Korea, Honolulu, South Africa, Shanghai and Moscow to promote Balinese food.
The festival ends today and will be open for lunch and dinner. The cooking class starts at 11 a.m. and is priced at 238,000++. For more information, please call 2551 8888
