Paon Bali Cooking Class, Bali, Indonesia

5N P 5:00 PM Dec 5, 2022

Outstanding experience! A must do activity - excellent value and top quality
This is an exceptional experience, you’ll be collected from your hotel by a lovely driver, you’ll be taken to the market and shown different foods and herbs, then head to Puspas luxurious residence where you’ll be welcomed in the warmest way. The cooking class is epic - I am no cook but today I have outdone myself. The host PUSPA is an exceptional woman, like everyone’s favourite aunt or loving mum - very homely and I would recommend every person visiting Bali does this class - it’s mega value for money if you consider what you learn and the overall experience. Once you have prepared and cooked your food you can then enjoy lunch in he serene garden area… genuinely a joyous experience. After lunch you’ll cook some dessert and then be taken back to your place if stay. As far as experiences go this is top 5 in whole of Asia. Thank you Puspa and family ?? I was recommended Paon Cooking by friends and it’s clear that this is world renowned!

Totally recommended for foodies and cooking enthusiasts alike
Firstly, the class is so well orchestrated. As you are working on something g with Pupsa, her team moves other items in the background so they are ready for us as soon as we need them. It’s like a well choreographed dance. You start by seeing all the ingredients that need prepping right in front at the beginning, all beautifully presented. Pupsa assigns us different tasks (cutting, grinding, etc). We make 2 sauces that will be used across the whole menu: a peanut sauce and a yellow curry sauce (Base Gede Bumbu Kuning). We then start preparing the seven dishes, which includes one salad and a desert. Pupsa adapts the amount of chilis (given the mostly North American audience) and also helps one member of our group ensure that her version of her meal is gluten-free! We are all participating in all the cooking activities, whether they are stir frying, steaming, blending, mixing, presenting etc. Pupsa also recommends substitutions for items more difficult to find in some part of our countries. And after all of that, each dish we are served are delicious. This all happens outside, in a housing complex specially fit for this purpose. A beautiful property and gardens surround us. Even though the temperature is in the mid 80s F, there is a nice breeze and ceiling fans also provide relief. I totally recommend this experience; you will learn a lot about Bali cuisine and thoroughly enjoy yourself in the process. Your tastebuds will also thank you!
