Pickup Service (in Canggu) was nice, though the driver was 30min early, but very nice.
We were driven to a local market, where we were told a lot about Balinese cooking traditions. The market was authentic! Lots of fresh veggies and fruit and chicken parts. But we didn’t buy anything there, were driven to the restaurant where Bagus, the chef, welcomed us.
He didn’t get tired to tell the food we were about to cook was NOT from the market, which was nice on the one hand (market was not thaaat clean etc) but on the other hand, then why did we go there (1st) and besides, there were so many Indonesian people buying their everyday food from the market and it was kind of disrespectful of him to belittle the people there and the market in general (especially because it is part of his program, but ok).
So after 10min of Bagus telling us his amazing life story of aaall his achievements, we were told more interesting facts about Balinese cooking. Everybody got a name tag and apron (not to keep tho). He showed us all the ingredients, epecially the spices, explained a lot and I really loved this part. You really get to smell a lot! It was great teamwork. We prepared a lot ourselves even though everything was cut and chopped for us. Still, so much fun. Some meals were prepared and then cooked while others were ready immediately and we could try and taste them. Great! Some were a little spicy, but I‘m very sensitive when it comes to chili, everybody else was fine haha.
Then we had lunch together at a huge table, sharing all the food we prepared before. It was so much! There were some people joining us that had not participated in the course, I don’t know? But was enough. More than enough! And so tasty!
Everybody got a certificate and with alittle rough ending a driver for me was ordered. Not an expensive taxi, but a Grab at a fair rate! Thanks for this!
Would recommend!
