Just a fruity day.
Quick drive to the market and we are all set for 3 fruity days. Eating all fruit is pretty typical for us here in Bali. We eat gourmet raw now and then, but not today.

Our favs
These dishes are our absolute favs. It means, not only would I eat them here anytime, but they would be my fav meal anywhere, anytime.
What we had
Avocado soup
Avocado soup with onion bread and cashew mozzarella. 65K
The soup was amazingly creamy and flavourful. The flavor was hearty, meaty but the soup still very mild. The onion bread was a wrap filled with carrots and raw mozzarella, which was tasty as much more than just bread.
Smoked Coconut Sandwich
Tomato, pickled cucumber, sprouts, smoked coconut meat, bbq sauce, cashew cream, lettuce. 55K.
A raw vegan take on the traditional BLT san. The bacon is amazing. Really amazing. Simply amazing. The bbq sauce smoky, tomaty, delicious. Even made with lettuce, absolutely filling and satisfying.
Nut burger
Almond, cashew, veggie patty, seed based bread, cashew cream. On greens.
Delicious, rich, filling. Great burger. Very nicely presented. I very appreciate them serving the oil on the side and not drowning the salad in it. As I don’t use it, I’ll order my burger without it the next time.
Green Pizza
Seed crust, veggies, kailan, pickles, & tomato salsa. 120k IDR.
The crust is very delicious, the sauce too. The green salad layer a little dull. The nut cheese pretty good. All in one a litte too oily and lacking in flavour. The side of the pickles adds a litte flavour to the dish.
Creamy Beetroot Garlic Soup
With anmond bread and cashew cheese. 85k IDK
Amazing creamy beet soup. The creamiest beet soup I would ever expect. Balanced in flavor, topped with crunchy fresh seeds. I would opt out for the oil that was drizzled on top. Don’t like oil in general and the taste of olive oil in a soup.

Make your own salad
With cashew mayo. 50k IDR
Greens, tahini sauce, tempeh, almond bread.
Indian Samosa
Marinated tomato, spinach, green peas, zuchini, sundried tomatoes, and garlic. With tamarind date chutney. 55k IDR
Very Indian. Pretty delicious. My husband liked it more than me though. I find the filling a little bitter, I just don’t like the bitter taste in general in a dish. The chutney is pretty good as well. Very mild. It comeswith the oil bottle, I let them take it back immediately, so they can reuse it. So it’s not in the pic.
Tempeh Satey
Marinated tempeh. Very delicious. The whole plate is a magical ensemble of hearty, spicy, savory goodness. The spicy sauce is so good, and the chili peaces for the extra burn. I love it. Even I still think this tempeh is technically not raw, it is delicious.
Onion Sandwich
The Divine Earth Experience
Visiting Rasayana Retreat, we found ourselves in an oasis in the middle of the concrete jungle of Bangkok. The atmosphere is very pleasant, the service friendly and accommodating. They are about to remodel the restaurant, it will be even nicer. The variety of food, juices, desserts is amazing and everything is very fresh. The kitchen is creative, the quality of ingredients is amazing, it’s mostly organic. Some ingredients are imported, like soy sauce, nuts, apples. If you are only ordering a few dishes, you should pick what you order carefully. The dishes are hit or miss. Read the reviews, let them explain what the dishes are made of, ask about the size. Picking the right dish, you will feel like in raw food paradise.
Tips
For your first visit, definitely take a cab and don’t try to walk there. There are no sidewalks and the traffic is pretty heavy at most times. It’s difficult to get a cap back home, some guest’s let the taxi driver weit for them to eat here. For the food, Hawaiian pizza is the safest choice, very delicious and pretty close to the “original”. The mushroom burger is amazing as well. Fruity juices and smoothies always a great choice. Many of the dishes we had were more a or less simple salads with dressing (and crackers) presented as a dish. These are great if you are looking for a low fat dish or like your salad to look different, but you might be disappointed if you are looking for a raw gourmet dish. I’m particularily talking about the cabbage rolls, the live pizza, the veggie sandwich, and the noodles. Larb and guacamole are pretty small and pretty much the same price than the way more exciting dishes like the pizzas or the mushroom burger. Watch out for the honey in drinks, desserts, dressings. Ask the service to help you to order a vegan meal.
Tabbouleh without cauliflower
Tabbouleh is a staple in our kitchen and one of my fav salads. Unfortunately, my husband doesn’t like cauliflower. Here is something we both more than enjoy.

What we ate in Bali
It all started with a great plan to have a late brunch at Alchemy.
Our housekeeper came in unexpected and messed up our entire morning routine. We were so looking forward to the brunch, that we totally sipped our breakfast fruit in order to have more room for the yummy breakfast bar and the salad bar we were expecting. But everything went wrong. The restaurant was super noisy and dusty due to construction, we left right away and went to the Durian Town. Little did we know that our 1 hour tip will be worth a trunk full of the most disgusting durians. But see for yourself.
Best spice mix ever for a salad
I love spice mixes, they make my life easier and my salads tastier and prettier. Let’s make this amazing mix together. There are two ways to make the spice mix. You can use all store bought dried and ground ingredients. Or you can dehydrate some of them and grind them up to have a little more flavour. Especially if you can’t find some ingredients dried and ground, make them in your kitchen easily out of fresh herbs and veggies.
Spice Mix
(Coffee grinder, Dehydrator)
1⁄2 tsp organic
red chili flakes
1 tsp organic
garlic powder
1⁄2 tsp organic
black pepper, freshly cracked
1 tbsp
paprika powder
1 tsp grounded, organic
cumin
1 tbsp organic
onion powder
1 tbsp organic
parsley powder
Mix all ingredients together and sprinkle onto your fav salad.
You can buy most of the spices also fresh, dehydrate and grind them in a coffee grinder. Like I did with parsley, onion, and bell pepper. I always use whole cumin and grind it myself.
The dressing is tahini, lemon juice, and water.
I’ve tried several store bought salt-free spice blends and fell in love with one particular. An this on is my inspiration for the recipe. It’s the organic Shakshuka spice blend from Whole Foods. If you can get it, just get it, I’m not sure if they still sell it. And if you don’t have a Whole Fodds near by, just make your own. If you like more of a salad sprinkle mix. Don’t grind the parsley and the onions.
