The village paths are decorated
with countless "Penjors" decorated bamboo pools,
"Umbul - Umbul" large flag pools, and numerous smaller
palm leave weavings. All buildings within the Pasar Malam
compound are decorated with hundreds of "Paku Pipits"
flower garlands hanging from the ceilings and each table is
blessed with a small offering. All the guests who experience
our Pasar Malam village ceremony hype aside.
Welcomed by the smallest and cutes inhabitants
of Desa Bali, school kids will give you a greeting which will
set the foundation for an extraordinary evening. A first stop
will be made on the out skirt of the "Banjar" (residential
quarters) surrounded by the village gardens, where the villagers
will serve you "Tabuhan" a refreshingly sweet and
tasty island concussion made from palm brandy and rice wine.

BALINESE RIJSTTAFEL
During the colonial period of Indonesia the Dutch lived rather
lavish life’s, with plenty of servants to assist in
making life as comfortable as possible. Eating was not any
different and the choice given was either Colonial Dutch or
Indonesian Cuisine. When ever they referred to Indonesian
cooking then the basic phrase of Rijsttafel was used, meaning
Rice Table.
|
|
Contrary to European cuisine, which was mostly plated,
Indonesian dishes were always served in the center
of the table surrounding a large basket of rice.
In Bali, rice is the main staple of each meal and
contrary to Western cuisine, meat, fish or vegetable
becomes a side dish.
For you to get a taste of Bali, we recommend to order
several main dishes, which we will serve in the center
of the table, just as you would do in your home.
We will offer you a selection of rice with your main
meal.

| MUSIC, DANCE AND DRAMA
In Bali there is a fundamental integration of the performing
arts into daily, social, and religious activities. No
celebration or gathering is complete without music and
dance. Such performances serve to entertain both the
Gods and the human participants enabling both to return
home after the ritual with a feeling of well being and
contentment. Because of the constant demand for musical
performance, there is a very large number of active
music and dance troops performing that night.
Once guests are seated, throughout the evening they
will be entertained with various Bali’s best cultural
performances the island has the offer.
The evening will end with hopefully the most memorable
night the guests will bring home.
