Evi Mariani, The Jakarta Post, Jakarta

Do you have a craving for Balinese dishes like sate lilit and
bebek betutu but do not have time to fly to the island?

There's good news. You don't have to fly there because Jakarta
Hilton hotel has flown two of the Bali Hilton's best chefs to
Jakarta to bring you the best of Bali cuisine from March 7
through March 19.

Better still, you can savor the food while watching Balinese
dancers adopt intense expressions while moving their dainty
fingers, all to the accompaniment of exhilarating Balinese music.

The hotel is presenting the special dance and music
performances on March 12, March 18 and March 19 only.

The chefs, I Putu Padmanaba and I Wayan Linggih from Bali
Hilton Nusa Dua, are offering the famous bebek betutu (roast duck
in banana leaf) and lawar kacang panjang (beans with spicy,
grated coconut), as well as other popular items.

At the hotel's Sriwedari Garden Restaurant, the chefs are also
serving a variety of grilled fish with a range of mouthwatering
sambal (chili sauce).

Vegetarians can pick from a variety of salads with exotic
vegetables and fruit.

With the meal, you can try a glass of Hatten Rose or Balinese
red wine.

Balinese cuisine is famous for its spicy food that includes
fish, pork and a wide range of vegetables. However, finding
Balinese food here is not as easy as seeking out Padang,
Sundanese or Chinese cuisine.

Sriwedari Restaurant is serving the food buffet-style, where
diners may choose whatever they want and eat as much as they
like.
