Served on a wooden dulang, the Traditional Balinese Afternoon Tea package includes a wide selection of savoury Balinese canapés, traditional Balinese sweets and fresh fruits. Bursting with flavours, nourishing and unique to Bali, you will find all-time favourite Balinese finger food such as Sate Lilit (grilled minced seafood or chicken wrapped on a lemongrass stalk) and Tum Ayam (steamed spiced chicken wrapped with banana leaves).
Those with a sweet tooth will be spoiled with a vast variety of Balinese sweets. The colourful medley of coconut, palm sugar, glutinous rice and bananas can be enjoyed in treats such as Laklak (rice-flour muffins with palm sugar caramel), Bubur Injin (black rice pudding with coconut milk) and Sumping (steamed rice cake in banana leaves). A pot of freshly brewed Balinese leaf teas completes the perfect afternoon. Chef Iwan and his team crafted each item in the tea set to bring aesthetic and gastronomic pleasure.
