I’d
give
Heinz
and
his
brilliant
team
six
stars
if
it
was
an
option.
What
a
culinary
adventure
to
experience
beautiful
Balinese
food
in
a
very
evocative
Balinese
setting.
It’s
all
so
scrumptious
it’s
hard
not
to
over
order.
And
don’t
forget
to
finish
with
a
good
Balinese
coffee.
My
advice
for
a
truly
memorable
meal
-
get
out
of
your
comfort
zone
and
let
the
staff
guide
you.
But
also
beware
there
are
many
Bumbu
Bali
restaurants
in
Bali.
This
restaurant
and
the
cooking
school
are
in
Nusa
Dua
(Benoc
is
where
you’ll
find
the
restaurant).
Bumbu
refers
to
the
base
spice
pastes
that
are
the
basis
of
many
dishes.
So
it
is
a
popular
name
for
a
restaurant.
Heinz
also
offers
a
wonderful
cooking
class
which
we
had
attended
a
few
days
earlier
(a
break
was
necessary
to
give
us
time
to
emerge
from
that
fantastic
experience
and
make
room
for
more
from
his
excellent
repertoire).
Can’t
emphasise
enough
how
insightful
the
class
was.
Not
just
for
understanding
Balinese
culture
and
food
but
also
just
general
cooking
knowledge
which
Heinz
has
in
abundance
and
is
happy
to
share.
Be
prepared
for
a
very
early
morning
to
catch
the
fish,
meat
and
vegetable
markets
-
an
education
in
themselves.
And
take
the
chance
to
sample
some
very
good
‘street
food’
and
coffee.
Then
to
the
restaurant
(
Heinz’
‘other’
place
-
the
Arte
Cafe
)
for
a
run
through
of
the
day
and
delightful
breakfast.
Then
it’s
several
hours
of
cooking
and
learning
before
you
sit
down
to
eat
the
results.
What
a
day!
