Description

This one of a kind experience combines culture, history, and flavor offering you a hands on introduction to authentic Balinese cuisine in a living museum that celebrates the island’s ancestral way of life. Nestled among rice terraces and lush hillsides, the Living Museum is not just a cooking venue it’s a cultural sanctuary that preserves ancient Balinese customs and showcases traditional architecture, farming, and crafts. Here, cooking becomes more than just preparing food, it’s a journey through Bali’s soul. Your experience begins with a warm welcome by the local hosts, dressed in traditional attire. They’ll introduce you to the philosophy behind Balinese food, deeply rooted in Tri Hita Karana the balance between people, nature, and the divine. The longing to taste and cook these delights makes us even more excited to complete the experience at the Living Museum, with a cooking class program specifically raises the theme of original Balinese cuisine. Lawar, pesan telengis, pelecing, urab, timbungan, jukut undis, and other traditional dishes you must try. To top it off, the cooking results will be served in a tradition of eating together, or known as ‘megibung’ as mentioned earlier. Besides getting to cook traditional Balinese food yourself, at Samsara Living Museum you will also get the chance to make one of the traditional Balinese alcoholic drinks, the arak. The process of making it is through true fermentation and distillation, which is not only used as a drink but also has its own role in religious rituals, such as offerings to the gods, as well as other creatures in the universe called tetabuhan.
