After breakfast at your hotel, we will drive to Rumah Desa at Tabanan Regency. This vast regency, known as the rice bowl of Bali, is famed for its magnificent rice paddies and authentic Bali life.
Start your fun day in the rice field. We’ll get our hands dirty by playing with the mud. Farming is the activity of the day. We will learn how to plow and traditionally plant in the paddy field. We also will learn how to weave coconut fronds. These woven coconut fronds are used to make roofs or walls for the hut as a resting place for the farmers. We’ll enjoy Balinese food for lunch. Then rest and enjoy the atmosphere in the village.
The next activity is to discover the culinary secret of authentic Balinese cuisine with the help of local experts by joining a Balinese cooking class. Balinese cooking class is an excellent opportunity to learn about daily life and local culture through culinary experience, and more than that, it’s a window to experience life as a local. The class begins with a morning market visit where you will learn tips on picking fresh ingredients, vegetables, and your choice of meat and fish and learn about local herbs and spices that make Balinese cuisine special. The expert will guide you in preparing and cooking delicious authentic Balinese dishes using traditional cooking methods. The best part of the class comes at the end, where you can finally enjoy the dishes you have created.
