    What is love? For me, I always see myself surrounded by love.

    Looking at green carpeted rice fields or a violet sunset sky from

    the edge of the beach can make me feel in love again, while the

    sweetness of a caramel mousse can take my heart away. Food can

    be a great expression of love, whether a small barbeque with friends

    or homemade pasta for a romantic dinner at home. The smallest

    things sometimes give us the most joy, like a scoop of vanilla ice

    cream that can easily remind us about the sweetness of love.

    With Valentines Day in February, love is certainly everywhere.

    but love is more than chocolates or flowers or even candlelit

    dinners. Love is more than romance; love can also be a virtue of

    sharing some part of ourselves for the benefit of others. Those acts

    of love and giving back are the subject of our Musings section

    (p.22) this edition, which uncovers the stories of dining venues

    that have a positive influence on both local communities and

    environment through acts of charity, fund raising and education.

    We also have stories about the tempting roasted pork at the newly

    opened barbacoa (p.26); a journey of sweet escape at Ombak

    Restaurant, Alila Soori (p. 38); lunch in the wilderness at The Wana

    (page 46), and spicy cocktails served with live music at the eclectic

    venue, Red Drum (p.56). There is also an insightful interview with

    renowned chef/restaurateur Kali Sari (page 52.)

    Love is truly an open door, and to quote Julia Child,

    They who eat good food will give back only the good things.

    Welcome February The month of love

    BALI

    A well seasoned travel writer, Alison spent years exploring the world before arriving in bali, where she quickly succumbed to the islands exotic charms. Trading her nomadic journeys for adventures of a culinary kind, she happily spends her time writing about restaurants and working on her first novel.

    Menur shares her time between Manado and bali and admits she still hasnt had the guts to try Manadonese Paniki a dish made from bats, but she promises to write about it when she has. When in bali, she loves trying new restaurants with friends, and particularly enjoys Vietnamese and Indian food, Connect with her @menurastuti

    Eves family motto has always been live to eat rather than eat to live. Aside from eating, she also loves to write, travel, design and cook (although, admittedly that also involves eating.) Occasionally, you can find her bragging about where she eats and travels in her tweets @evetedja

    Dewi has been working as an independent writer since 2005, and her book Dances of bali has sold more than 2000 copies. Aside from writing she is also passionate about diving, photography and actively volunteers for several non-profit organisations that are engaged in conservation work.

    the resort in 1996, who also support two orphanages

    children. Owned and operated by Father, I Kadek

    Sheraton Kuta ushered in the new year with a sweet

    charity action. A giant gingerbread house was on

    display at beachwalk Kuta throughout December, and

    the creative pastry team also produced 200 cupcakes

    which were successfully sold out to the visitors of the

    mall. All funds raised from the sales were donated

    to Panti Asuhan Alas Kasih, who nurtured 42 kids. A

    wonderful way to start the year!

    Balis Melting PotA famous hangout scene in downtown Petitenget, Mantra Restaurant and Bar is owned by famous surfer Tipi Jabrik. Every night there are crowds, especially on the weekends, but most people dont know that their international dining menu also has a good selection of Indonesian food.

    Mantra offers classic, clean and healthy

    food with fresh ingredients and rustic

    presentation. We dont have any

    microwaves in our kitchen, said Tipi,

    Hence, every dish needs to be prepared

    fresh using local products.

    A Balinese Curry starts our meal, made with

    shrimps and loaded with fresh vegetables

    that are still crunchy and have a typical soft

    coconut milk flavour. Sprouts, dried chilies

    and lime are served on the side for extra

    taste. The secret recipe Fried Rice is nice,

    with a subtle seafood flavour and this is the

    first time I have seen mushroom in fried

    rice, together with other vegetables and an

    egg, sunny side up, tucked into the middle

    of the plate.black Rice Pudding

    Food servings here are vintage-style, in

    line with the building that looks so much

    older than its real age. The ambience is

    always warm and friendly, especially at

    night with lines of light bulbs hanging

    from the breezy outdoor porch area. The

    indoor area is cool with high ceilings,

    and a huge display of framed pictures

    of anything and everything; artworks,

    photos, posters and sketches. It feels

    homey when you put yourself in the

    sofa corner, while enjoying the latest

    tunes from the DJ or live musicians.

    Event-goers can look out for the

    announcement board, in front where

    there is always a list of upcoming and

    happening gigs. Private gatherings can

    also be organised at Mantra with their

    special F&b packages; options are to

    book the whole restaurant, or just the

    upstairs area if you want to have the

    feeling of being in a crowd of familiar

    people and friendly strangers.

    The leather-covered drinks menu and

    cocktail lists are long, and include an

    energising Espresso Martini, and the

    rustic Jack Sparrow served in an old-

    timers metal mug with rum, coconut

    juice and coconut flesh garnish.

    Skipping alcohol? Then try the Black

    Rice Pudding served with fresh fruit and

    a small bottle of pure honey - a balinese

    way to freshen up your taste buds

    before heading to the crowds at the bar.

    the essential The Love Berry

    Sometimes referred to as love berries, these dainty pink morsels are associated with love and flirtation. At wedding breakfasts in provincial France newly weds are traditionally served a soup of thinned

    sour cream, strawberries and powdered sugar.

    Strawberry juice combined with honey can help reduce inflammation and sunburn. Rub the mixture thoroughly into the

    skin before rinsing off with warm water and lemon juice.

    Strawberries are rich in Vitamin C, and high in

    antioxidants which can help reduce the risk of cancer and

    heart disease.

    Despite their sweet taste, strawberries are low in calories, and make the perfect diet food. Mix with diced watermelon, fresh mint leaves and a

    squeeze of lime to create a tasty low fat snack.

    Despite its name, the strawberry is not classified as a true berry, because unlike a blueberry or cranberry it does not have seeds inside. It is actually a member of the genus Fragaria, also known as

    the rose family, which includes plums and apples.

    With Valentines day falling in February, love is certainly in the air and there is no shortage of romantic dining options in Bali for those who wish to celebrate. But there is more to love than chocolates, flowers and candlelit dinners; love is also a virtue that represents human kindness, compassion and a genuine concern for the good of others.

    We celebrate this month of love by highlighting some of the dining venues on the island that have a positive impact on the local community.

    Whether practicing sustainable development, sponsoring

    orphans, or staging charity fun runs and turtle releases,

    many resorts and restaurants offer great food and

    atmosphere, complemented by a policy of giving back,

    to benefit others.

    Desa Seni, an enchanting eco village in Canggu, is at

    the forefront, and acts as a model of environmental and

    social responsibility, with an inspiring annual yoga-Music-

    Dance-a-Thon that has raised over $45,000 for the AIDS

    awareness program, Ayo! Kita bicara HIV/AIDS (this years

    event will take place on March 16.) If we all give back,

    educate, inspire and nurture, the world will be a better

    place, says founder Tom Talucci. The restaurant serves

    up delicious food, much of which is plucked straight from

    the thriving organic gardens, and can also be enjoyed in

    a romantic pool side pavilion. Desa Seni also offers free

    yoga and English classes to its staffs, as well as providing

    valued support to a number of yayasans, including Sacred

    Childhoods an organisation which protects children

    and combats organised crime, such as child trafficking

    and prostitution.

    In Ubud, Sari Organik leads the way with organic farming, and plays

    an active role in the growth of balis green movement. Founder

    balinese-born Nilawati asks, We got it right the first time, so why

    not put the old ways into practice again? She also offers free

    cooking classes for balinese housewives, and runs the enchanting

    bodag Mailah restaurant set amidst scenic ride paddys adjacent

    to the farm. Her newest venture, a restaurant in Kintamani, called

    Pulu Mujung has been created to generate local employment

    and training opportunities. Meanwhile, longstanding bali buda

    provides tasty wholefoods in its three cafes/shops while also

    supporting a number of projects, ranging from organic farming,

    to Eco bali, to Rumah Sehat Madani, which provides maternal and

    general health care to the disadvantaged.

    In Kuta, Hard Rock bali is most commonly

    associated with music and burgers, yet its

    roots lie deep in philanthropy Its part of

    our DNA, says Hamish Dodds, Hard Rock

    Intl. President and CEO. Last October, bali

    set the scene for the launch of their 6th

    annual, global Imagine theres no hunger

    campaign, with a charity concert by Jakartan

    rock band, Kotak, which generated over

    US$10,000 for Sole Men Indonesia a non

    profit organisation that focuses on helping

    cases of individual suffering in bali. Working

    closely with Sole Men, the program includes

    delivering food parcels to 100 needy people

    living in the poorest areas of Denpasar three

    times a week.COMO Shambhala supports local kindergarten, Tirta Kumara. The children are pictured here singing Christmas carols at the resort.

    The prestigious annual Tri Hita Karana awards

    recognise those hotels and resorts that have a

    positive effect on the communities, while special

    events see businesses banding together for social/

    environmental causes. Coral Triangle Day staged in

    June saw many hotels and restaurants coordinating

    beach clean ups, special culinary events, exhibitions

    and talks. The bali Hotel Association also deserved

    a mention, with its on going One Hotel One

    Orphanage program, with over 70% of its members

    signed up to supply linen, beds, clothes, education

    facilities and training opportunities to their

    designated orphanage.

    Love may not be all you need, but its a great place

    to start. Alison

    Arriving at Barbacoa, one of the newest restaurants to open in Petitenget, we find a large golden brown pig being grilled in the open wooden fire, and a cook on standby to constantly add more coffee wood to keep the fire burning. Its been slowly grilled

    for the last eight hours, he explains.

    Our well-dressed host leads us to our table at the

    backyard and we are glad to have arrived just before

    dark to witness the last remaining rays of sun upon the

    green rice fields. This elegant restaurant with its high

    ceilings is both warm and homely, with a large airy space

    that seems to be created to encourage conversation,

    yet retains a certain intimacy, for those inclined to be

    left alone. The solid cooling system works wonderfully

    against the balinese humidity. Designed and created by

    owners Adam Dundas-Taylor and Pete Zuttion, barbacoa

    makes a charming addition to the dining scene of Jalan

    Petitenget.

    Sydneysider, Dundas-Taylor, is a chef with a penchant for barbeque, and a

    passion for creating food that, you wont find anywhere else except here.

    Having worked in Spain, London and other European countries; he has now

    teamed up with fellow chef, Sean Prenter, (ex Rock Pool) and his brother,

    Kieron Prenter, who is head Mixologist. He tells us that he is excited about

    Latin American cuisine which translates here as a fusion of Spanish, Mexican,

    Peruvian and Argentinian flavours. We love these styles of food and

    hence, barbacoa was born it means bbQ in Spanish, he explains before

    disappearing, with a promise of Frozen Margaritas to come.

    A gulp of the chilled punchy margarita later, we are ready to select our meals.

    The various dishes on the menu will please any meat-lover and are served

    tapas-style, so ideal for sharing. The more the merrier seems the rule of the

    thumb here. Cuban Pork Torta with Pickled Red Onion, Aioli and Tomato

    comes first, in the deceiving form of a burger with a generous thick juicy cut

    of meat. The deliciously messy Braised Beef Brisket Corn Taco with Pico de

    Gallo and Radish is a must-try and tastes even better when eaten with hands.

    Moving on to the grill selection, our Charcoal Grilled Prawns with Guajillo

    Chilli Marinade and Avocado are impeccably grilled and still juicy, with a

    slight smoky aroma. The star of the show is the 8 Hour Wood Fired Asado

    of the Day carved from that grilled pig that we saw near the entrance. The

    tender and perfectly sliced meat comes with crunchy pork skins and excellent

    dipping sauce. We close our dinner with a White Chocolate & Honeycomb

    Ice Cream Sandwich, a tasteful caramel balance of salty and sweet, ended

    with a mischievous coconut-flavoured biscuit. With a resolution to come back

    soon, we leave this atmospheric restaurant and call it a night to remember.

    Restaurant and lounge by day and world class pumping club by

    the solid in-house staff that amaze us with their creative food

    and beverage inventions. We choose to sit indoors, avoiding the

    crazy wind that has been plaguing bali for the last few weeks,

    and find a dark, stylish interior consisting of comfortable leather

    seating and velvet armchairs which make a comfortable way to

    start the night.

    From my seat, I can see the stage where many international DJs

    have performed under the round cupola. A friendly waiter offers

    a long and enticing list of their newest drinks but I eventually

    end up asking him for his suggestion. He comes back with a

    small wooden tray baring a buddha head aromatherapy candle

    holder and an Old Fashioned. Its nothing fancy, but is a

    classic cocktail with the aroma of mint to enhance your drinking

    experience, he explains. Well, it certainly works for me.

    my friend is happily tearing away the hearty Chicken

    Cordon Blue with Sauteed Potato, Creamy Spinach

    and Roasted Tomato. A special mention needs to be

    made of the delicious creamy spinach.

    The night is thoroughly dark when our Creme Brulee

    with Home Made Biscuit is served with the Banana

    Yummy milkshake that my friend seriously loves.

    The Creme Brulee is perfectly caramelised on top,

    successfully producing that satisfying crunch when

    I tap it with my spoon. We talk for quite a while there,

    when suddenly we realize that the casually dressed

    sunset crowd has been replaced with a much more

    formally attired dinner crowd. Soon, the DJ will man

    the deck. After all, the night is still long. Eve

    its opulence makes it the darling of Shangri-La Hotel in Jakarta. A much-respected reputation has been built

    through reigns of Italian chefs who usher both traditional dishes as well as ingenious ideas of their own.

    Arriving inside the restaurant,

    everyone is treated to a degree of

    extravagance, from a classy dcor that

    incorporates aesthetic design, velvety

    sofas, Renaissance-style paintings on

    the ceiling, and a neat open kitchen

    between the dining room and the bar.

    During the day, huge windows

    shower the dining hall in natural light,

    giving more energy to hearty Italian

    lunches, while nights bring a romantic

    atmosphere from the beautiful gardens

    and the lights of the surrounding

    skyscrapers. The main dining room

    exudes a sophisticated ambience, while

    two semi-private rooms are available

    one of which is attached to a finishing

    kitchen, where guests are able to

    preview the final touches placed on

    their meals.

    Coming here for the first time years

    ago, I indulged in the abundance of

    fresh antipasti, with plenty of seafood,

    smoked salmons, carpaccio, and

    crispy vegetables. All those beauties

    were complemented with myriad of

    impressive mains and it has always been

    a joyous rollercoaster ride of flavours

    and textures here.

    One of the best moments was to arrive here during

    the high season of the exotic white Alba truffles,

    as these beautiful diamonds were shaved over

    wonderful delicacies of Crudo of Wagyu Beef

    with Parmigiano-Reggiano, Tagliolini with Porcini,

    Jerusalem Artichoke Ravioli with Mascarpone Cream,

    and the ultimate pleasure that came from Seared

    Duck Breast Tartare with Foie Gras and Apple Terrine.

    It was all simply irresistible!

    These are among the finest dishes that you can

    enjoy at Rosso, but apart from being a frontrunner

    of culinary sophistication, the Shangri-La Hotel itself

    adopts corporate environmental responsibilities in

    many aspects, which effects the F&b department in

    a positive way also.

    For instance, the be Well initiative has been

    introduced to the restaurants within the hotel, as

    well as the guests so that on one side, the hotel

    kitchens provides fresh, sustainable, and local

    dining options. While on the other side, guests are

    encouraged to consume in-season produce from the

    most sustainable options possible, as a part of hotels

    collaboration with appointed organic farms.

    Rosso itself utilises locally grown vegetables such

    as heirloom tomatoes, mesclun and romaine

    lettuces, alongside beans, edible flowers and

    rock salt from bali. Additionally, the hotel recently

    started its own herb and kitchen garden, which

    is currently prepared to supply a certain quota

    of fresh basil, spinach, eggplant, limes, lemon,

    lentils, and more.

    So, in support of these initiatives, why not have a

    romantic rendezvous this February with delectable

    choices made from sustainable produce? For

    instance fresh tomato and buffalo mozzarella

    salad with Parma ham and rock melon should be

    suitable for a starter. From there, you might want

    to consider exploring the infinite possibilities with

    your significant other from the rich Porcini Risotto

    or Trilogy of Ravioli, and onto a sweet finale of

    Semifreddo or even the Sweet Pizza! Rian Farisa

    With a wonderfully secluded location on the Tabanan

    coast, 20 minutes north of Tanah Lot temple, Alila Villas

    Soori creates a unique destination dining experience.

    Those in search of a romantic outing could start with an

    afternoon massage at the renowned Alila Spa, followed

    by Champagne cocktails at sunset on a daybed amidst

    the frangipani, and finish with a lingering candlelit dinner

    paired with fine wines. Another option, and one that I am

    keen to try, would be to arrive for breakfast - comprised

    of an enticing 12-course tasting menu.

    We take a seat on the beach deck at Ombak restaurant

    which overlooks the property. buildings with sleek

    modern lines carved from local stone and recycled

    timber are fringed by well-manicured lawns, and make a

    vivid contrast to the untamed setting of craggy volcanic

    outcrops and black sand pounded by waves. The design

    of the open-sided restaurant, as with the rest of the resort,

    is elegantly simple so that nothing detracts from this

    glorious natural vista.

    Executive Chef, Dwayne Cheer, hails from New Zealand

    and previously presided over At.Mosphere Restaurant in

    Dubai, situated on the 122nd floor of the burj Khalifa - the

    tallest building in the world. During his reign at the much

    acclaimed highest restaurant in the world, he prepared

    food for the rich and famous, including royalty, so we

    know we are in good hands. He describes the menu as

    modern European, and his commitment to using as much

    local produce as possible means a constantly updated

    tasting and a la carte menu. Ombak translates as waves in

    Indonesian, and Cheer explains that the sea is definitely

    an inspiration, with dishes that highlight seafood and light

    fresh flavours.

    At the heart of the city lies the Cologne Cathedral,

    standing tall and proud for more than 600 years. It is

    pretty much the only ancient building left standing after

    the Allies were done bombing the city during World War

    II. A wonder of Gothic architecture, it offers a spectacular

    view from its tower, reached by 509 stairs. Having made

    the climb, this weary traveller decides to hit the kneipe

    for one of the main reasons why people visit Cologne:

    the beer. Visiting a Kneipe, or pub is a very interesting

    cultural experience to be savoured, and Im not just

    talking about the freshly brewed golden liquid that all of

    us love. Klsch, the typical Cologne beer is served in a

    small glass to ensure that it is always cold and fresh. The

    dry-humoured bar keeper will keep bringing more beer

    unless you cover your glass with your coaster to mark

    your submission. To complete the whole experience,

    I indulge in the giant Schweinshaxe or roasted pork

    knuckle. Served with mashed potato, the meat juice

    tastes just as good as the tender meat itself which can

    be stripped off so easily from the bone.

    The best way to get to know a city is by walking. Cologne, the fourth largest city in Germany is excellent for that purpose. Dominated by the mighty Rhein River, Cologne is equipped with wide pedestrian areas, uninterrupted biking lanes and

    a plethora of restaurants and bakeries serving great food.

    The Aroma of Cologne

  • 44 lets eat! www.letseatmag.com

    Cologne is also a heaven for sausage-lovers. Snacking

    on slices of currywurst is one of my favourite thing to

    do here, followed by a brisk walk on the cobbled stone

    street of the Altstadt or the remaining old town to

    burn off the calories. Coming from a country where the

    streets barely have pavements and are most unfriendly

    to pedestrians, walking is a luxury I thoroughly enjoy

    during my brief stay. On my way back to my relatives

    house, I decided to stop by at the Imhoff Schokoladen

    museum. The contemporary building by the Rhein

    River has a detailed exhibit on the subject of chocolate.

    Aside from learning about the history and production

    of chocolate, there is a rather magical sight of a three

    meter high chocolate fountain. The best part is of course

    when the assigned employee dips wafers into the gooey

    chocolate liquid sponsored by Lindt, and distributes

    them to the visitor.

    This is my third visit to the city and it becomes more

    familiar than ever as I am staying at my relatives house.

    Traditional bakery shops have had difficulty to compete

    with supermarkets selling cheaper fresh breads,

    explained my uncle, after he came back from his daily

    morning bread-buying trip which has taken longer than

    usual. Together with a bag of warm wheat bread rolls

    that smells like heaven, he has bought thin sliced ham

    and cheese. The energising breakfast becomes fuel

    when I bike my way to visit the museum quarter near the

    Dom later that day. A huge 4711 Eau de Cologne retail

    store near the Dom is filled with tourists. Who could

    blame them when the very name of the city means that

    fragranced water that we all use. In fact, if you want

    to know what Cologne smells like in a bottle, 4711

    captures it brilliantly. Eve

    The restaurants at bali Zoo are located just after the

  • Q: How did you become a Chef?CHEF SHERLOCK: I started cooking at the age of nine,

    when I was home alone and decided to make pancakes. I

    messed the whole kitchen up with flour but remembered

    eating these lumpy sugary pancakes with my friends, and

    they were just great. That was the day I realised cooking

    was all I wanted to do.

    CHEF RUIDAVET: I wasnt good at school, but as I grew

    up in Toulon, becoming a chef came naturally for me, and

    I have been cooking ever since.

    Q: What is your favourite food?CHEF SHERLOCK: I love Asian food with lots of spices

    and aromatic flavours. The food is very diverse from

    region to region, and in most cases it is very healthy too.

    CHEF RUIDAVET: All food is good, as long as it is cooked

    with heart. Personally, I enjoy the food that my wife cooks

    for me. She has a great taste!

    Q: Care to share an unforgettable moment that you have had with food?CHEF SHERLOCK: The first taste of my chefs babi guling

    at Nusa Dua beach Hotel! Its made from a family recipe,

    passed down from generation to generation. The blend

    of spices is rich with flavour but not over powering.

    CHEF RUIDAVET: The first time I had sushi in New york

    when I was 20 years old. It was a totally new thing for me.

    Q: Hypothetically, what would you like to eat as your last meal?CHEF SHERLOCK: Something spicy. The spicier, the

    better. I have a soft spot for sambal matah and good

    fish.

    CHEF RUIDAVET: Caviar and Champagne. They are

    both easy to open!

    Q: Please describe your typical working day?CHEF SHERLOCK: I spent most days teaching and

    coaching our staff here, checking the produce and

    attending plenty of meetings. My life revolves around

    food, to the extent that my personal kitchen is also my

    laboratory.

    CHEF RUIDAVET: It usually starts with a good cup

    of coffee, then there is food testing, meetings and

    coordinating. There are always things to do. Im

    usually back at home by nine.

    Q: Good food is...CHEF SHERLOCK: Made with fresh produce and well

    prepared, everything has to be made from scratch.

    CHEF RUIDAVET: Very personal. What is good for me,

    is not necessarily good for you.

    Q: What brought you to Bali, and more importantly, what made you stay?

    A: I came on holiday to bali in 1983 and never left. I loved everything here: the balinese people, the colours, the

    smell, the tropical breezes, all the minute details and visual

    explosions that go into every day balinese life.

    Q: DJ, chef, designer, photographer, paper maker. you are clearly a woman of many talents, do you have a favourite mantle?

    A: Food is still my passion, and as part owner/Executive Chef, I create the menus and train the chefs, as well as

    designing the look and feel of the restaurants; and of

    course I compile the play lists! We adopt sustainable

    recycling practices, including the use of Saraswati

    products for our menus, brochures and business cards.

    Making food and making paper are both tactile and

    sensual pursuits in a way both are basic cooking, and

    also give me the chance to work closely with a supportive

    team of balinese people.

    Q: You started Saraswati Papers in 1995, what led to its creation?

    A: A combination of my love for all things paper and a genuine desire to be involved in the community, rather

    than just sit on the edge. I wanted to give back in my own

    little way. We create beautiful recycled paper products

    which we sell here in bali and abroad, with a percentage

    legendary Double 6 Club. As the co-founder of three successful restaurants, and Saraswati Papers which creates beautiful hand made recycled paper and paper products Kali lives a life filled with colour and creativity. Here she talks about her love of Bali, and her genuine

    commitment to play an active part in her adopted community.

    of profits going to the bali Kindergarten Project. More

    than just unique hand crafted paper, Saraswati is about

    empowerment of balinese women. I work with around 30

    women as a collective, many of whom were previously

    unskilled and unemployed, who have now learned a

    craft, and also, the value of recycling. In turn they act

    as educators in their families and villages, sharing their

    knowledge about sustainability and creating

    a greener world.

    Q: Any advice for foreigners wanting to set up a business in Bali?

    A: Working in bali is a mutual exchange of knowledge, talents and skills. Sharing western logic with balinese

    viewpoints is a powerful combination that can create a

    unique and enriching work experience.

    Q: Any tips for celebrating Valentines Day on the island?

    A: Wherever you are and however you want to celebrate love, you dont need a special day or place to

    do it. Love is universal, if Valentines day is what reminds

    you of that, then use it and enjoy it, but dont forget it

    the next day.

    An artistic collaboration of musicians and designers, Red Drum brings African flair and a touch of Caribbean spice to Bali. From casual lunches to zesty high tea, to rhythmic nights charged with live music, this atmospheric venue adds a vibrant

    edge to Balis restaurant/bar scene.

    It all starts innocently enough, on a sofa in the middle

    of the afternoon, sipping tea, and nibbling at dainty

    sandwiches and sweets. Then suddenly, its the early

    hours of the following morning and I am perched at the

    bar, nursing a smooth Lychee Star Martini and swaying

    to the legendary band, Saharadja. Such is the flow or

    should I say the beat of Red Drum, where a colourful

    fusion of African/Caribbean flavours and design creates

    a unique and funky space.

    Arriving in the peaceful lull of mid-afternoon gives me a

    chance to really appreciate the eclectic dcor, starting

    with the porch, adorned with evocative African portraits

    and a small boutique area with vibrant jewellery, clothing

    and trinkets. The sumptuous lounge reveals a collection

    of West African tribal masks and djembes, a sexy bar

    area with zebra hide-covered stools, and tables adorned

    in brightly coloured glasses and African print napkins.

    Keturah is our vivacious hostess and confides she has

    been experimenting with various flavours to create

    signature cocktails, but its a still a little early in the day

    for me, so we sit down for Red Drum High Tea, which

    adds sparkle and spice to this ancient ritual. A choice

    of fragrant hand-blended brews include Jasmine and

    Muddled Lemongrass, and Sorrel, a popular Caribbean-

    style drink made with dried hibiscus boiled with orange,

    lemon, cinnamon, clove, fresh ginger and honey. A

    tiered-stand is decked out in finger sandwiches of soft

    sourdough layered with crispy fried spicy eggplant, feta

    and rocket, slivers of apple tart, almond biscuits, and

    divine sugar cinnamon balls with raw cocoa sauce.

    As day turns to night we head into Happy Hour(6-

    8pm) and the more potent realm of cocktails, starting

    with vodka martinis blended with exotic dragon fruit

    including a crisp and dry DragonBlanc, and a deep

    crimson-hued DragonRouge. My favourite is the Red

    Drum Martini, an intoxicating blend of hibiscus and

    Jamaican rum, infused with luscious hints of ginger,

    lemon, cinnamon, honey and a dash of Creole bitters.

    Platters of Malawi Mbatata Cheese and Sim Sim, fried

    cheese and cassava balls coated in sesame seeds, fiery

    Mozambican Chilli Chicken Wings, and tasty Senegali

    Spicy Crispy Eggplant fuel me for the next round. Which

    is just as well, as its a Paradise Island Ice T which follows

    the basic Long Island rules ie. loads of alcohol, but has

    been tropicalised to wonderful effect, with a dash of

    rosella and a splash of ginger ale.

    Perfecting the art of reclusive luxury the renowned wellness retreat, COMO

    Shambhala Estate is a haven for those looking for a tranquil hideaway.

    Thankfully, its breezy restaurant, glow, welcomes outside guests to enjoy

    tasty, thoughtfully prepared food with panoramic views over a steep gorge carpeted in thick tropical rainforest.

    Meaning sacred place of bliss, COMO Shambhala

    Estate Ubud pays homage to the mythical Shambhala

    the enlightened kingdom of ancient Tibetan legends. As

    its signature restaurant, glow serves up healthy cuisine

    guided by the philosophy of retaining the nutritional

    integrity and life force of food. There is no dairy, no

    sugar, nothing processed, and the use of local organic

    products guarantees absolute freshness, as well as

    support for local farmers. We start with some cleansing

    juices, including the Lean and Clean, which is a shade

    of lush dark green, that you just know makes it good for

    you, and includes a tasty blend of apple, fennel, spinach,

    celery, spirulina, and green pepper, with a crunchy

    addition of crushed macadamias. The Blood Builder

    features the popular combination of apple, beetroot and

    carrot, and spices it up with a kick of turmeric.

    Australian-born COMO Group Executive Chef Amanda

    Gale, is based here in bali and oversees cuisine at

    COMO properties world wild. Her menu at glow

    includes raw food dishes, lean fish and meat and healthy

    Indonesian fare. Everything we try is crisp, wholesome

    and brimming with vibrant colour, starting with a lightly

    grilled Zucchini Carpaccio, scattered with soft tender

    crab, fresh soy beans, and piled high with watercress

    infused with tangy hints of mint, fennel and preserved

    lemon. The Fragrant Grilled Fennel and Sumac Spiced

    Salmon is imbued with citrus overtones, while the

    delightful quinoa that accompanies it contrasts the

    savoury crunch of grain with sweet juicy bursts of

    pomegranate. The Spelt Flour Tortilla with Black Beans,

    Quinoa, Sweet Corn, Guacamole and Cashew Cream,

    presents a tasty, full Mexican flavour without the dairy

    or calories.

    People often think raw food is confined to salads and

    juices, but actually thats just the beginning, and I

    am curious to try some of the glow raw dishes as

    preparing varied, tasty food without cooking it, takes

    great skill and imagination. Advocates claim a raw food

    diet is the healthiest, as ingredients retain enzymes,

    vitamins and proteins which are often destroyed by the

    cooking process. The secret to keeping it interesting is

    the use of a dehydrator which gently heats food to 40

    degrees, without actually cooking it. This keeps all the

    nutrients intact, and here at glow, creates the fabulous

    cracker-like base for the Macadamia and Pumpkin Raw

    Pizza topped with a savoury and sweet mix of avocado,

    pineapple and mango.

    As much as I enjoy raw food, I am a little sceptical about

    the Chilled Cucumber, Aloe Vera and Avocado Soup

    with Soursop Sorbet that I spot on the menu. My mind

    is thinking avocado, cucumber, in a dessert? but what a

    wonderful surprise, and this turns out to be my favourite

    dish of the day a thin, sweet soup, topped with

    shredded young coconut mingling with zesty ginger and

    fresh mint, and a slightly tart soursop sorbet.

    I have to admit, I have eaten like a trooper, but this is

    the beauty of healthy food, you can do that and be left

    feeling satisfied and totally energised, rather than that

    more usual feeling of heaviness that follows a big meal.

    Sunday brunch is also highly recommended. Alison

    Citrus GlowDrinking a glass of warm water with lime first thing in the morning is a great way to kick

    start your digestive system, while also giving your body a strong burst of Vitamin C. Lime can also be used directly on the skin to even out skin tone and create a brighter more

    radiant complexion.

    Soak up the benefits of this zesty fruit, and indulge

    in a Valentines Day treatment within the sumptuous

    surrounds of the world famous Mandara Spa at Padma

    Resort. The Frangipani body Glow treatment includes

    products from the renowned Elemis brand, such as

    an invigorating sea salt scrub infused with nourishing

    oils of ginger and lime to exfoliate, tone and boost

    metabolism.

    The TreatmentuA rich and nourishing frangipani oil is dripped over my

    body, followed by a smothering of sea salt imbued with

    the rich essence of citrus and heady aroma of ginger.

    My senses feel invigorated and restored, while my body

    relaxes into a state of total surrender. The citric acid in

    lime helps remove dead skin cells to reveal a brighter

    complexion, while ginger is a powerful antioxidant

    that increases skin radiance and reverses signs of skin

    damage. After rinsing off the thick oily scrub, more

    frangipani oil is applied and I am wrapped in a foil

    cocoon so it can soak into my freshly scrubbed skin.

    Meanwhile, I am pampered with a nurturing scalp

    massage and mini facial. The treatment finishes with

    a deeply restorative signature Mandara massage.

    The verdictuThis luxurious treatment will leave you relaxed, glowing

    and ready for romance.

    Home spauOver exposure to the sun can cause hyper pigmentation

    (uneven skin tone) or darkened patches of skin. A

    traditional remedy is the application of lime or lemon

    which is rich in absorbic acid (Vitamin C) and acts as a

    natural bleaching agent to lighten and even out skin

    tone. Apply lime juice direct to the skin with a cotton

    ball and leave for an hour then wash with water. you

    can also combine three teaspoons of lemon juice with

    one teaspoon of turmeric powder and mix into a paste,

    and leave on the body for half an hour. Alison
