Sharing a mutual commitment to preserving Bali’s cooking techniques and celebrating the island’s vibrant native ingredients, Amandari in Ubud and John Hardy Bali invite guests to experience a Four Hands Dinner: Unearthing Culinary Crafts. This intimate culinary journey will be hosted by Amandari’s Executive Chef Iwan Yunarto and John Hardy Bali’s Head Chef Tomy Saputra.
The dinner will be accompanied with an arak tasting experience by Karusotju, and Balinese dance and gamelan performances from the Kedewatan Village.
Both the dinner menu and the cultural performance will take inspiration from the myth of Goddess Nyi Pohaci Sanghyang Asri, also known widely as Dewi Sri, the Goddess of Fertility of Bali and Java, whose influence is celebrated annually during the Harvest Full Moon on the week of the event.
