The Spice Journey

Do you know that more than half of spices in the world originated in Indonesia?
Stretched along the equator line and surrounded by the volcanic mountains that contributes to the fertility of the soil, Indonesia is indeed blessed with its wide variety of beautiful spices spread through the region. Spices are the key to the various delicious, exotic, and tasty cuisines that would enhance our eating experience to a whole new level. Not only will they make your food taste delicious, but they also have exciting health benefits of their own!

I, Ayu, will introduce you to exotic spices from my home country and you will learn the art of combining spices and flavours to create a wonderful authentic taste. We will cook together one of the most delicious foods in the world: "Rendang" (slow-cooked beef curry) which is originating from Sumatra Island. Meet “Tempeh”, the superfood from Indonesia, that has been a stable source of protein in Indonesia for centuries. You will learn how to cook tempeh perfectly with some simple spices. The next dish is “Gado-Gado” (fun to say, delicious to eat): blanched vegetables with traditional peanut sauce. Of course, “Mie Goreng” (Indonesian fried noodles) is on the list too, this meal is a signature dish of Indonesia and most likely to appear on any menu cards. It has got the totally unique Indonesian flavor profile that makes you want to eat and eat even when you are full.

We will enjoy our dinner together, share your stories about Indonesia (if you have been to), or get all the tips you want to hear from the local (if you plan to travel to Bali or other islands in Indonesia). Indonesian dessert will be served at the end of your dinner.
