Our final meal before heading home was at our beautiful hotel on the AUYUNG TERRACE overlooking the resort and river valley. It's a nice setting and we had enjoyed wonderful breakfasts here every morning of our stay as well. The food is indeed typical Balinese/Indonesian but we did have to ask them to bring the spice levels up as it does seem to cater to foreigners.
We decided to split a starter and it was a smart move as the Cakalang Sambal Bongkot was four huge slices of beautifully seared tuna with Ginger torch, shallot relish, raw crunchy green eggplant and peanut crackers--we loved it.
The Lombok Lobster was cooked to perfection with Thousand Spices and came with a raw sambal that had a slight kick, just right for the light shellfish. The side was called Morning Glory and was a magnificent seared Asian greens with fried shallots. All the dishes came with rice which, of course, we ladled the yummy spicy sambal olek onto. Will had the Woku Belanga, a seafood agglomeration of scallop, octopus, mussels and snapper all in a turmeric lemon basil sauce.
A bottle of Barossa Valley 2022 Rawson Retreat Chardonnay was simply perfection!
We loved it all and while we loved Bali, we were happy to load our bags into the car to head to the airport and now are about to return home after an amazing 8 weeks in Australia, New Zealand and Bali!
