September's Dining Fiesta

Now, let’s see what the island has on this month’s dining table. From new opening in Tuban to new setup menu from the culinary team of some restaurants. How about pairing wine with seafood for your dinner? Or, perhaps anyone fancy a 400-gram beef burger for lunch? If that is too much for your taste buds, maybe a tender and juicy steak would treat you just fine. We have covered everything for everyone on this month.

Arang Sate Bar brings traditional satay to Ubud
Situated in central Ubud but discreetly set back from the busy main road of Ubud, Arang Sate Bar offers a gastronomic twist on traditional satay by using larger cuts of different types of meat, fish, shellfish and vegetarian options. The Classic Sate selections on the menu feature traditional takes on regional Indonesian satay, including Maduranese duck served with sweet soy peanut sauce, roasted shredded coconut and rice cake; Balinese chicken sate served with green beans, sprouts, coconut urap salad, peanut sauce and rice cake; and Spiced Balinese escargot sate served with watercress, peanut sauce and rice cake. The idea behind these dishes is to experience some of Indonesia’s critical flavours and present them in a way that enhances the experience of that particular dish. The combination of Arang’s dishes and Dutch-era inspired interior décor will bring Indonesia’s cultural culinary heritage in Ubud.
