Segening Restaurant
Segening
Balinese food from the garden, about a hundred steps from the table. Each section of the menu is named for the harvest.
Start with rujak of farm fruit in palm sugar chili, or cassava dug from the garden and fried twice. Ayam betutu and crisp duck come with urap of the day's vegetables in base genep. Iga babi kuah is pork rib braised in spiced broth with young papaya. To drink: loloh cemcem with guava and lime, kunyit asam made with turmeric from the farm, or Kintamani coffee with coconut palm sugar.
Plates from IDR 35K, plus 21% tax and service.
