Cours de cuisine balinaise bio et authentique avec balade à vélo dans les rizières de Jatiluwih

On est venus nous chercher à l'hôtel et nous avons passé une merveilleuse journée à vélo à travers les rizières avec Arie, puis à apprendre à cuisiner des plats indonésiens traditionnels. On commence par aller cueillir la plupart des aliments dans le jardin, ce qui garantit leur fraîcheur, à l'exception de la viande que nous n'avons pas cueillie nous-mêmes. Après la cuisson, on déguste les plats dans un cadre idyllique, en savourant une cuisine authentique. Nous avons aussi préparé plusieurs satés au barbecue, un vrai délice ! Pour finir, des bananes frites en dessert. Ensuite, on nous ramène à l'hôtel avec un livre de recettes pour pouvoir les reproduire chez nous. Nos hôtes, Made et sa femme, étaient formidables et les meilleurs hôtes qu'on puisse imaginer. Nous recommandons vivement cette expérience à tous ceux qui séjournent à Bali.

Des gens formidables, un cadre magnifique et une volonté sincère de nous faire vivre une expérience inoubliable. Nous avons passé un excellent séjour.

Une expérience pratique fantastique dans un cadre magnifique. Made et son équipe sont à la fois très professionnels et divertissants. Les recettes sont claires et délicieuses. N'hésitez pas, foncez et régalez-vous !

Nous avons d'abord fait une excursion à vélo à travers les rizières, c'était vraiment génial. Ensuite, nous avons eu un cours de cuisine balinaise parfait, avec un expert très sympathique ! Un grand merci à Amed, sa femme et Catma.

Authentique, emplacement idéal et dimensions parfaites.

Nous avons décidé à la dernière minute de choisir un cours de cuisine balinaise bio et authentique avec balade à vélo dans les rizières de Jatiluwih. Ce fut une expérience absolument inoubliable. La descente à vélo à travers les rizières classées au patrimoine mondial de l'UNESCO jusqu'à la magnifique école de cuisine tenue par Made et Devi était splendide. La cuisine était excellente, tout comme les conseils prodigués. La famille de Made était charmante. Offrez-vous cette expérience unique ! Vous ne le regretterez pas.

Nous avons vécu une expérience absolument fantastique lors d'un cours de cuisine balinaise authentique, combiné à une magnifique excursion à vélo à travers les rizières en terrasses de Jatiluwih, site classé au patrimoine mondial de l'UNESCO. La journée a commencé par une heure de vélo au cœur de ces superbes rizières en terrasses, offrant un panorama inoubliable et une multitude de choses à admirer. Après cette balade, nous sommes arrivés à l'école de cuisine Kubu Terrace, où nous avons appris à préparer une variété de délicieux plats balinais. Nous avons commencé par le Bumbu Bali, l'assaisonnement de base indispensable à toutes les recettes suivantes. De la soupe Moronga aux savoureux satay balinais cuits sur un barbecue traditionnel, en passant par un dessert exquis, chaque plat était un régal. Nous avons même cueilli nous-mêmes des ingrédients frais à la ferme avant de les apporter en cuisine pour la préparation. Ce fut une expérience vraiment incroyable que nous recommandons vivement à tous ceux qui visitent Bali !

Ce fut une expérience incroyable que je recommande vivement à tous ceux qui envisagent de réserver ! Tout était si simple : il nous a suffi de réserver et de fournir les informations de notre hôtel pour qu'on vienne nous chercher à l'heure précise indiquée et nous emmène aux rizières en terrasses. Avoir un chauffeur était vraiment précieux dans les rues animées de Bali ! Nous avons parcouru les rizières à vélo et profité de vues à couper le souffle, uniques au monde. Notre guide, Ari, a répondu à toutes nos questions et nous a partagé de nombreuses anecdotes passionnantes. À notre arrivée au cours de cuisine, un délicieux cocktail de bienvenue nous a été offert ! La cueillette des légumes dans le jardin de Happy et la préparation de tous les plats resteront gravées dans nos mémoires. Nous nous souviendrons longtemps de cette expérience !

Nous avons vécu une expérience fantastique avec M. Seneng, qui a commencé par une superbe balade à vélo dans les magnifiques rizières en terrasses de Jatiluwih, encore plus belles que celles d'Ubud. La balade, principalement en descente, était très agréable. Le cours de cuisine était génial : un grand choix de plats et la possibilité de cueillir soi-même ses légumes dans le jardin. La nourriture était délicieuse et nous avons beaucoup apprécié que l'argent soit reversé aux agriculteurs locaux. Pour nous tous, c'était le meilleur moment de notre voyage. Nous recommandons vivement ce cours !

Après la descente à vélo, la récolte de la plupart des ingrédients nécessaires et la découverte des secrets de la cuisine balinaise : le BUMBU Bali. Un seul mot : tout simplement merveilleux

We had a wonderful time, from the moment we were picked up. After a short bike ride through picturesque rice fields, we arrived at the cooking school. We loved picking fresh organic ingredients and using them to cook a few dishes. We made so much food, that we couldn’t eat it all. We loved the whole experience and learned traditional Balinese cooking. We were given a recipe booklet to take home. We recommend this experience to everyone!

We had the opportunity to see amazing views while biking and had the most amazing experience with Made Happy and his wife, who helped us understand their culture through Balinese food. Many thanks for this unique moment. Plus, thanks for adding vegetarian options for me :)

I am so happy to have booked this class. The scenery, the people, and the food reminded me of the old Bali without the mega hotels, villas, and crowds. We started with an easy downhill cycle through pristine rice paddies. Walked in the rice fields and met some beautiful friendly locals keen to share their way of living. We got to the organic farm where we received a warm welcome from the whole family. I am an amateur organic farmer myself so I really enjoyed walking around and sharing tips on how to grow beautiful food without the need for chemical inputs. We picked the veggies we use to cook our meals and we started cooking up a storm. The views were amazing, the air was fresh and vibrant and everything was just awesome. Just go for it 👍🏼👍🏼 Thanks ❤️

My favourite day in Bali was the one spent in Jatiluwih at Kubu Terrace with Made Happy and his family. From our early morning transfer from our villa to the cycle ride through the UNESCO protected rice terraces every moment was fun and informative. The ride was leisurely and downhill with some stops along the way to learn more about Bali’s farming and rice production. Upon arriving at Kubu Terrace (after some additional off-road cycling) we met his wife and were greeted by a flower garland of our names to celebrate our honeymoon. We cooked rice the old fashioned way and walked around the farm to pick the vegetables that would become our lunch. From here we cooked and ate an absolutely delicious feast of multiple dishes, most utilising the very important Bumbu Bali paste. I will definitely be making the peanut sauce at home. We were lucky enough to try their homegrown coffee alongside our pisang goreng (fried bananas) and cacao and jackfruit straight from the tree. There’s really nothing like it! Made Happy made the day with his enthusiasm, attitude and hospitality - and the wise admission that it is his beautiful wife who is the talented chef 😀 I highly recommend this when visiting Bali!

Beautiful location, worth the drive from Seminyak. Lovely little cycle through untouched rice fields downhill to the cooling class location. We picked our own fresh ingredients from the garden which has been in the family for centuries. Cooking class was really well run with a small group and a really fun family atmosphere, food was also delicious! Highly recommended.

This is the best activity that I’ve done in Bali. Cycling through the rice terrace was exciting a. The view was beautiful and the tour guide has good photographing skills. The owner and his wife are very friendly. It was so fun to pick up ingredients from his organic garden and cook Balinese dishes while learning their culture. Highly recommended to everyone!

This family (and friend) business is well run and fun! From the initial communication, early morning pick up from our hotel, bike ride through the rice terraces, picking the produce to cook during the 9 part cooking class, Made and his family did not miss a beat. This full day experience is one not to be missed. However you choose to make it to Kubu Terrace, trek or bike, you will enjoy this cooking adventure.

We were collected from our hotel after breakfast and driven in a very comfortable vehicle to the rice paddies. It was raining very heavily and we were supplied with anoraks before cycling to the farm. The cycle was extremely fun and guided at our pace. We were then shown round the farm and assisted to pick fresh vegetables, before starting the class. We learned how to cook about 7 dishes in total - all delicious! This was a family run operation, away from the hustle and bustle of tourist towns. Overall a very informative and different experience!

An amazing experience with Made and his family. We were picked up from our hotel at the specified time and taken on a long drive to the picturesque Jatiluwih. Although the drive is long, the whole experience is so so worth it. Upon arrival, we went on a lovely bike ride - which was easy - and we were able to stop to take photos and our guide was fantastic. He talked us through any questions we had and was absolutely lovely. Once we had completed our cycle, we went back to Made’s farm, we were presented with a delicious lemongrass drink and then picked all of our fresh ingredients - all completely homegrown by Made and his family - and then we started to cook. Made and his wife were excellent and talked us through each dish we were making - we even got a menu to take home as a keepsake. We made lots of different traditional Balinese dishes that were all delicious. We started with the most important dish: Bumbu Bali, a staple for most Balinese dishes. We then progressed to make numerous delicious dishes such as: Fresh Moringa soup, Sayur Urab, Chicken curry, chicken dumplings, Satay Lilit and Skewers (cooked traditionally on the bbq), Sambal Matah, Traditional Peanut sauce, Steamed rice, and finally Pisang Goreng (Fried Bananas) - which were served with the most delicious palm sugar syrup - which Made told us the recipe for upon request!! At the beginning of the trip, Made showed us his own honeycomb that he had created by taking to the local jungle to populate with a Queen Bee and then brought back later - we said that we would love to try it, however Made said that the bees were very aggressive at the moment - despite this, at the end of the trip, he disappeared and then returned with a sample for us to try which was incredible; he really went the extra mile to make our experience the best that it could be. Although this trip may seem slightly expensive compared to others, and it can be quite a distance to travel if you are staying in popular tourist areas of Bali, I cannot recommend this experience more. Made and his family made the trip so easy for us and so worthwhile - it was truly a traditional experience and we learnt so much about Balinese cooking, traditions and their way of life. Please do take our advice and support Made’s dream to take this experience even further, as he divulged some amazing ideas to us on our trip with how he could expand this cultural experience to be even more amazing! A huge thank you to Made and all of his wonderful family for giving us such a once in a lifetime experience! Hal & Courtney x

My wife and I made this booking based on previous reviews and how right they were. The bike ride and cooking class all take place in UNESCO protected rice fields. To be able to cook and then eat (ofcourse) on the side of a small hill overlooking stepped rice pattys all owned by the operator and his wife was amazing. They were extremely friendly, professional and patient. We got to pick everything we used in the cooking from their own organic vegetables and the tour itself is all operated by one family so the money really goes to the locals. Highly recommended!

The cycling tour was great. Wonderful scenery and energetic enough to build up an appetite. We were made to feel very welcome at the farm. The ingredients we picked were all explained. We made 7 dishes with rice, and, of course, Bumbu Bali, the spicy base for everything. All food was fresh and tasty. There was plenty of food for us both. We definitely did not leave hungry. We highly recommend it his experience.

It was a fantastic experience. The short bike ride was fun and the people there were so nice! Cooking with Dewa was great, first we picked the ingredients in their own organic garden and then cooked a full menu. It was great that in the end I got a small booklet with the dishes and a few spices to be able to cook the dishes at home. I can really recommend this cooking class to anyone who would like to learn more about Balinese cuisine and who likes to be at the kitchen themselves! I had a lot of fun!

This was an amazing experience...biking through Jatiluwih, seeing different areas of the terraces and farms, picking vegetables from the garden, and of course getting hands-on cooking authentic Balinese dishes! Would highly recommend.

We had such a great time riding the bikes, picking vegetables and cooking the bumbu Bali! We had spent the day before touring the Tegalalang rice fields and the experience was so much better here! The food was so authentic, and Maday and his family made sure everything was perfect! I could not recommend this more!! If you are on the fence, go. You won’t regret it.

We absolutely loved this class. We were picked up at our hotel and dropped off at the door. We opted to walk instead of cycling & really enjoyed that too. The cooking class was first class - we picked our organic vegetables then cooked then. We loved making the Indonesian curry paste - not too hot and full of flavour. Plenty to eat too. Yummy We stopped off at coffee & herbal tea plantation then a organic chocolate factory on the way home.

Cannot rate this cooking class high enough ! Amazing location , and really tasty dishes !! The cycling was fantastic the top quality bikes in excellent condition and incredible views ! ( all downhill too ) ! The cooking was excellent , picking the ingredients of the garden , really getting stuck in to cook them Together and taking home the recipe afterwords to practise at home ! The food tasted fresh and phenomenal and the hosts were super friendly , kind and incitive ! I learnt a lot and had a really great time ! Thanks so much for the wonderful experience!!

This is a great experience to add to your trip to Ubud! From the pick up service to the cooking, everything was amazing! Made & his family are the nicest people, they will tell you all about the Balinese culture, the rice fields & the fruits/veggies they grow. The location is stunning: looking over the rice fields, and the food super yummy! It is a great way to learn what makes Balinese cuisine so tasty. And most ingredients come from his organic garden, which you will pick yourself. The little plus: the spices you get at the end so you can recreate the dishes you learnt back home! Terima kasih Made!

We had the best time at our cycling and cooking class at the Kubu Terrace, Jutiluwih Rice fields cooking class! Made and his wife and mother in law were perfect hosts! From pick up to drop off everything was perfect! The cycle with Made’s cousin was amazing! Not too challenging and we were able to soak up the views and stop for photos! We picked the vegetables from his little organic farm and used them in our cooking. The food we cooked was amazing and will be really simple to recreate at home. One of the highlights of our trip to Bali! Thanks Made and Family!!

From start to finish, this experience was a highlight of our visit to Bali. Seamless hotel transfers, along with the cycling, picking fresh ingredients and cooking were great. The kitchen was clean, the hosts brilliant and the food delicious. Thank you for your hospitality.

I had the most amazing experience at this cooking class! I was collected from my hotel in Canggu in the morning and taken to the rice terrace where I met my cycling guide and we cycled through a beautiful quiet route for about an hour where there were plenty of opportunities to stop for photos. Some of the cycling track was a little slippy and steep but fine for confident cyclists. I then attended the cooking class at Kubu terrace and was greeted by the friendliest hosts who made me feel so welcome. In the class we picked the ingredients fresh from the garden and made everything from scratch. It was all delicious and enjoyed in the most beautiful setting overlooking the rice field. I couldn’t recommend this class enough - it was so authentic and worth every penny! Thank you Made Seneng and family for making it so memorable!
