Street food cooking class with cycling
In the Tabanan Regency, Will Meyrick or one of the head chefs
from his restaurants impart the philosophy of introducing
local produce to a wider audience. He has developed close
relationships with local farmers, using their fresh produce in his
restaurants for many years.
You're invited to experience authentic Balinese life through
a day-long cycling trip that combines scouring a traditional
market for fresh ingredients, easy cycling, traditional craft
making, a private cooking class a few more exciting activities.
Cycle through the Regency’s rice terraces and rivers, seeing
where the fresh water flows through the subak system to water
the paddy fields, before experiencing picturesque villages
framed by mountains with quiet roads and traditional houses.
Upon arrival at the market, you will enjoy an authentic Balinese
breakfast before continuing on to the cooking class site at
Canggu. The cooking class is with Will Meyrick himself, who
will lead you through 5 different Balinese recipes.
Morning traditional market
Early risers will love this excursion to the local markets. Not
only are they colourful to look at they are colourful to hear. The
locals like nothing more than welcoming visitors, usually with
a cheeky joke or two. Prepare to practise your bargaining skills
and bring a big smile.
