As we stepped into the Pasar Senggol restaurant at Grand Hyatt Bali, We were immediately transported to a realm where culinary delights and cultural wonders converged. Conveniently located amidst the lush surroundings of the resort, Pasar Senggol presents a unique dining experience that celebrates the rich elements of Indonesian cuisine and Balinese traditions.
An Epicurean Journey Under the Stars
Dining at Pasar Senggol genuinely feels like a delightful adventure through the heart of Indonesia. The restaurant, resembling a contemporary Balinese night market under the shade of trees, with a stone center stage for live performances, presents an enticing array of authentic Indonesian and Balinese dishes that awaken the taste buds. Every Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday from 6-9 pm, guests are treated to a feast under the stars. From succulent grilled delights to meticulously crafted desserts, Pasar Senggol offers an irresistible array of flavors and aromas that promise a memorable dining experience.
‘Beauty in Diversity’ Buffet
Not limited to just several menus, the Indonesian goodness of Pasar Senggol truly defines the country’s ‘beauty in diversity’. We discovered wide arrays of indigenous food, from Nasi Goreng, Pempek, to rare authentic traditional dishes such as Babi Guling and Bebek Timbungan (more about these later) all meticulously cooked to resemble its native counterparts. Beside the perfect rendition of Indonesian delicacies, Pasar Senggol also serves a delightful selection of international dishes. The aforementioned grilled station serves Western meat-based classic goodness such as succulent steak and tasty grilled lobster. For dessert, guests can also entice themselves with refreshing Gelato, with flavors such as raspberry, vanilla and creamed coffee. With meticulous attention to detail and a commitment to excellence, Pasar Senggol promises a dining experience that’s as diverse as it is delicious!
Rare Culinary Gems
In addition to the buffet spread, guests also have the option to indulge in rare culinary gems such as Bebek Timbungan and Babi Guling. These traditional Balinese delicacies are a testament to the island’s rich culinary heritage, each bite offering a glimpse into Bali’s vibrant culinary landscape. Slow-cooked for over 12 hours, the aged Bebek Timbungan duck meat absorbs a rich blend of spices—chili, ginger, and coconut—resulting in an explosion of flavors with every bite. Its scarcity only adds to its allure. Then, the quintessential Balinese feast of Babi Guling, where flawlessly crisped skin gives way to a harmony of flavors—from warm rice and satay to spicy chili sauce and cassava vegetables—all infused with the aromatic basa genep spice blend. We also delight in the authentic taste of Sate Madura, perfectly grilled chicken skewers complemented by a sweet and savory peanut sauce that tantalizes the taste buds with its smoky aroma. Each dish embodies the essence of Indonesian cuisine, a celebration of flavor and tradition that leaves us craving for more.
Indigenous Dessert Treat
To complement the vast array of tantalizing Indonesian dishes, Pasar Senggol also serves the country’s indigenous delight through an exclusive ‘Es Campur’ station. Like the name implies, Es Campur (mixed ice in Bahasa) is a beloved cold dessert that embodies the essence of Indonesian culinary delight. As you take your first spoonful, you’re greeted by a symphony of flavors and textures. Imagine the burst of sweetness from the fruit cocktails mingling with the creamy coconut, while the tapioca pearls and grass jellies add a delightful chewiness to each bite. Topped with glistening shaved ice, syrup, and a drizzle of condensed milk, every spoonful is a journey through Indonesia’s rich dessert landscape. You can also try other indulging Indonesian light bites, such as the iconic Pisang Goreng (Banana Fritters).
Immersive Dance Performances
What truly sets Pasar Senggol apart is its seamless integration of cultural performances into the dining experience. As we savored our meal, we were treated to a series of captivating Balinese dance performances, each one a testament to the island’s rich artistic heritage. From the graceful welcome of the Panyembrama Dance to the captivating courtship ritual of the Cendrawasih Dance, every performance is enraptured with its beauty and elegance. Yet, it’s the primal energy of the Fire Dance that truly captivates, as flames flicker against the dimly lit stage, casting an enchanting glow over the audience. As the evening unfolds, the Kecak Ramayana Dance unfolds before our eyes, weaving tales of gods and demons in a mesmerizing display of faith and tradition. Together, these Balinese dance performances create an unforgettable experience, transporting us to a realm where myth and culture intertwine, leaving us in awe of Bali’s timeless allure.
