For this event, they have invited guest chef that comes from Bali. His name is Chef Ketut Sumerata. He is very kind, talented and experienced chef. He explain why Balinese food was so tasty, spicy and “fragrant”. He shared the secret from “Balinese long black pepper”. Unfortunately, we had no time to see it. Another secret was what made Balinese food so tasty and having a good smell was cinnamons, fennel and “frankincense” or “kemenyan”. It is something like stone that has a good smell. I was shocked, honestly. But I just really love how this food tastes. Very unique and you have to try it by yourself.

The second food that I have tried was fish
