The Myriad of Tastes of Indonesia at NUSANTARA BY LOCAVORE

Spice
Collecting authentic, original recipes from many different regions in Indonesia, Nusantara by Locavore offers a tantalising diversity of dishes with an abundance of flavours. The restaurant itself is cosy and designed to make you feel at home, as if you’re in your own dining area. As for a sample of the dishes, we’ll start off with my favourite - the Udang Telor Asin from the Makassar area of South Sulawesi. A wonderful combination of flavours created by taking the freshest of shrimps and deep-frying them before blending them with salted egg sauce.   Next, we have Cincang Karo from Brastagi in North Sumatra; if you love pork, this is for you. Pork belly is cooked in bamboo with young banana stems, cassava leaves, banana blossom, coconut and kecombrang. Cincang Karo tastes even be...
Bali’s first Meat Boutique at BOY’N’COW

Bali’s first Meat Boutique at BOY’N’COW

Spice
As the name suggests, this Seminyak restaurant offers high-quality beef carefully selected from sustainable and organic farms in Australia and the USA. As any steak connoisseur knows, getting the very best from a piece of steak depends on how it is aged to get the meat’s natural enzymes to work their magic. Boy’N’Cow uses a dry ageing process in which the meat is stored in a cool, humidity climate controlled environment for 28 days. This produces succulent, tender steaks that melt in your mouth. I started my meal with hamachi ceviche with orange, radish, onion and yuzu vinaigrette and continued with foie gras with port grape jam and toasted brioche. For the main course, I selected a classic 280grm ribeye, cooked medium rare and served with side dishes of steak chips with truffle and parm...
