The Highlight of My Bali Trip! I've been to many cooking classes, but Sidemen Bali Cooking is on another level. Cooking with a view of Mount Agung was a spiritual experience.
As a food lover, I was amazed by the quality. We picked spices from their organic garden! Learning 'Bumbu Bali' amidst the fresh air was incredible. Best food in Bali!
Perfect escape from the crowds. We found this gem in Sidemen and it was so peaceful. A truly authentic Balinese village experience that we will never forget.
