Nusa Lembongan is one of three islands In Bali, approximately 12 miles from south eastern coast of Bali and 20 miles from Lombok. The other two (2) islands are Nusa Penida being the bigger and Nusa Ceningan being the smaller.

This tropical island is 4.5 kilometers long, 2.5 kilometers wide and 50 meters above sea level. The majority of the population, circa 7000 practices the religion of Hinduism; a combination of Hindu, Buddhism and Indigenous religious customs. Bahasa Indonesian is the national language, however most inhabitants on the island speak a local dialect.

The locals on the island make their living from farming seaweed between the beach at the villages of Jungut Batu and the offshore reef. The seaweed is exported around the world and used as an emulsifying agent in the manufacture of products such as ice cream, cheese and cosmetics.

The island is well known for its superb surfing breaks like Playgrounds, Lacerations and Shipwrecks; snorkeling and scuba diving in crystal clear water; fishing and a very relaxed lifestyle.

Nusa Lembongan is a pristine tropical island, its highest point is 50 meters above sea level. Lembongan has an average rainfall of approximately 1000 mm per year. Little temperature variation from 30 degrees Celsius occurs between the only two seasons this island experiences being the wet and the dry. The wet season is from December to February and the dry is from March to November. As it has only three months of rainfall, this island is dry for the remainder of the year. Little cultivation occurs, as almost 2/3 of the island is infertile. Seeding is normally done on the wet season and only corn, cassava and peanuts are farmed. Also found on the island are cashew nuts, mangoes and coconut. Fresh water is limited and most of the supply is derived from wells up to 60 meters deep.

Close to the foot of the majestic and still active Mt Agung, Dukuh Sibetan villagers are only too aware of their precarious existence. When the volcano erupted in 1963, sand and rocks blanketed the village farmlands, making a return to normal agriculture impossible. One of the few crops that were able to survive in these new conditions, however, was salak- the snake fruit, already present in the area for hundreds of years. Thus, the farmers of Dukuh Sibetan became ‘seed-savers’ and have worked to make their diversity of salak species their specialty. There are now 14 varieties of this strange fruit grown by the Dukuh Sibetan people, ten regarded as rare. The locals have developed a cottage industry making Bali’s only salak wine, sweet and surprisingly tasty! The village itself is quiet and traditional, blessed with cool, clean air and a feeling of true serenity. A stroll around the village roads offers breathtakingly beautiful vistas of mountains, palm trees, ant-like villages and in the distance, the blue ocean. Dukuh Sibetan is comprised of and surrounded by, salak gardens and forest, riddled with tiny paths. A beautiful pond, full of stories and mythology, sits at the bottom of a high cliff dripping with vines and spring water. The villagers invite you to try and feel the spirit of the place.

Tenganan Village
Tenganan Village - a cultural microcosmos In and around Tenganan On the east coast of Bali, surrounded by high mountains, lies an ancient fortress village called Tenganan. Dating back to at least the 11th century, Tenganan preserves certain ways life lost to the rest of Bali. It is regarded by the Balinese as a ‘senior’ village.The uniqueness of Tenganan is evident the moment of stepping through one of the four gates in the wall that encloses the entire the village - Tenganan has a feuding past. Grey stones pave the roads and wall off the houses, each with exactly the same layout as the next. Gentle giants, the beautiful Balinese buffalo, loiter freely in shady spots. The culture of Tenganan is similarly unique, based on a philosophy of interconnectivity. This philosophy is reflected in the design of the ‘gringsing’ weaving, practiced in only two other places in the world outside of Tenganan. Gringsing uses natural dyes painstakingly made from products collected from the forest. Around Tenganan is one of the most intact tropical forests in Bali. Tenganan’s residents have their own environmental management laws based on sustainability and the aforementioned interconnectivity. The locals explain that they actively conserve biodiversity partly because such a wide variety of plants are needed for Tenganan’s regular rituals and ceremonies. Many other local beliefs and rulings distinguish Tenganan from the rest of Bali, such as equal land rights between women and men, and the forbidding of marriage outside the village.


Kiadan Pelaga Village

In and around Kiadan Pelaga Situated 1100 meters above sea level, southeast of Mt Mangu, cool and green Kiadan Pelaga is a world away from the hustle and bustle of the coastal towns. The vegetation here is lush, and can be seen stretching away onto distant forested mountainsides. Closest to the village, however, the earth is devoted to the village’s ‘brown gold’- coffee. Seventy percent of Kiadan Pelaga’s residents are farmers. If there is little activity on the streets, you’ll see why when you enter the ‘kebun’ – the gardens - where men and women are hard at work. The kebun are extensive and diverse. Crops are mixed and matched, but far from randomly planted. The combinations of crops are chosen strategically to eliminate the need for chemical inputs such as fertlisers and pesticides. Almost everything is organic. The coffee beans, both Arabica and Robusta droop from branches, starting green, then ripening into sunset yellows, oranges and reds. Picking the red berries is quick work, but it is just the beginning of the process. Farmers then sun-dry the coffee beans, turning them regularly. When they are dry, the beans are husked. Roasting is next, in the village ovens, and lastly grinding, releasing heady aromas which remind us what all the hard work was for. Kiadan Pelaga is surrounded by forest including native bamboo, ricefields, rivers and gorges. It offers some beautiful trekking, enhanced by the local understanding provided by your guide.


Ceningan Island

Around Ceningan Island While there might not be a great number of octopi under the sea around Ceningan Island, there is an awful lot of garden. Or more specifically, seaweed farms. Seaweed is the mainstay of the population of Ceningan and it can be seen everywhere, spread colorfully on tarpaulins, drying in the sun. Ceningan is tucked behind the bigger, touristy island of Lembongan on Bali’s east coast. Life here is hot and relaxed. The seaweed farmers get up early to go out to sea, and rest in the heat of the early afternoon. Later, as the day cools, they go out again, and their boats can be seen crowding around their plantations, like a floating marketplace. Ceningan’s residents have had to fight for this life however. A few years ago the local government proposed to sell the island to resort developers. Only unwavering local opposition stopped the plan, a win for both the community and the environment. Ceningan is small and at certain times of the year, quite dry. Water supply is becoming an issue. Yet Ceningan is extremely pretty. Exploring the island, from the coral reef on the eastern tip to the cave of nesting swallows on the western, with lots of stops for chats with friendly locals in between, makes for a wonderful day. Note that all trips to Ceningan require at least one overnight stay due to the ferry schedules. The boat trip takes one hour from Sanur, and is a pleasant and scenic ride with the locals. Don’t wear long trousers, as you’ll have to wade on and off the boat!

Serombotan is a typical Balinese dish consumed particularly by the community in the Klungkung Regency. The vegetable ingredients for this special dish can always be found in the gardens of any house in the Klungkung Regency. The local people are never bored with this food that has been passed down from generation to generation. Serombotan is not only popular among the local community but it is also a popular meal sold in various warung (small shops or food stalls) at markets, along the streets or in the restaurants around Klungkung town centre and even around Bali.

serombotan is often served at wedding receptions, syukuran (an event to express gratitude to God) or on special day celebrations besides being available on menus for everyday consumption. On ceremonial occasions, this dish is usually served separately so that it is easily available. “Guests often just take the serombotan without rice or other side dishes. They will also mix the vegetables by themselves so that the spices can be according to taste”, she said.
For the last ten years this kind of food has not only been available in the Klungkung region but also in Denpasar. We can find this food in Kreneng, Sanglah, Uma Anyar markets and it also usually sold at roadside food stalls such as along Ahmad Yani Street, Denpasar. Along the road of Denpasar – Sangeh there are two serombotan sellers who come from Klungkung.
They usually sell serombotan from a very simple stall that can be moved from place to place, usually in the afternoon. The serombotan sellers also sell other dishes to attract consumers, like tipat (rice cake boiled in a rhombus-shaped packet of plaited young coconut leaves), rujak (a kind of fruit salad with a pungent dressing), young coconut ice, and various snacks like rempeyek (a kind of thin chip made from flour and peanuts, shrimp, or small fish) or kerupuk (chips made from flour, flavoured with fish and shrimp), and fried or boiled nuts.
It is not only the Klungkung community who are fond of eating serombotan, most people around Bali are also fond of this vegetarian food. This can be proved by the fact that the small stalls selling this kind of food are never short of customers. According to Ni Wayan Nurati, the serombotan seller at Ahmad Yani Street, she is sometimes overwhelmed serving customers who always come in groups. “I start selling at 11.00am because that is the time for employees, both government and private, to take a rest”, she explained.
Ni Wayan Sulastri, the sister of Ni Wayan Nurati, has another story. She added that the busiest time is from 11.30am to 13.00pm. At these peak times they usually ask their children to help. “I have to involve my children in this business because I can not hire employees yet because there isn’t much profit to be made,” they both agreed.
Serombotan ingredients are all taken from the garden. They include kinds of vegetables such as long beans (kacang panjang), spinach (bayam), a leafy vegetable which grows in water (kangkung), green nut sprouts (kecambah), bitter gourd (pare), eggplant (terong), been sprouts (tauge), and peanuts (kacang tanah). While the sauce includes a small, very pungent kind of chilli (cabe), ginger (jahe), garlic (bawang putih), shrimp paste (terasi), citrus fruit (jeruk lemo), grated coconut (kelapa parut), and other spices.
The cooking method is as follows. The vegetables like kacang panjang, bayam, kangkung, and pare are sliced and then boiled separately. The eggplant is also sliced but together with the been sprouts they are left uncooked. The peanuts are fried till cooked.
There are two sauces used here, a liquid sauce and a dry, crispy one. The first sauce is made from chilli, garlic, and shrimp paste that is ground. This mixture is added to water and mixed, then fried till cooked. The roasted coconut is grated and mixed together with the mixture of garlic, ginger, and salt.
The vegetables and the flavourings are usually served separately because the consumers will choose the ratio of vegetable and sauce according to taste. This food is served by putting the boiled vegetables together with the uncooked ones and fried peanuts on a plate with a sprinkling of grated coconut. The liquid flavouring is then added, as well as squeezed lemon. The ingredients are mixed together before being eaten.
Typical Klungkung serombotan uses raw peanuts while the serombotan that is sold in Denpasar uses fried ones. (Budarsana)

Lawar is one of Bali’s most famous local dishes. Made from pig’s blood and spices, together with an assortment of other goodies, lawar can be found in every village in Bali. Balinese cuisine has many signature dishes including babi guling and bebek betutu. One of the local dishes that all Balinese love is lawar, with every family making lawar at special occassions such as ceremonies. Attending a wedding ceremony in Bali, foreigner might be asked “Bani ngajeng lawar?” (“Are you brave enough to eat lawar?”). The ingredients of lawar take from spices such as kunyit, shrimp paste, salt and ground pepper, galangal and other roots; grated coconut, green beans, boiled young jackfruit and occasionally, singkong leaves, all chopped up and blended together.The meat distinguishes the type of lawar – chicken, duck, beef, pork, turtle, or even dragonfly. Although it is considered a delicacy at ceremony time, fortunately turtle lawar is becoming less and less common. Dragonfly lawar is most unusual because it takes so much time and money because you have to use so many dragonflies to fill you up! Most lawar has raw blood mixed with it but not all Balinese like this and many prefer their lawar vegetarian.On the day of a ceremony Balinese people rise early to prepare food. The men will take care of the sate, the women chopping away preparing vegetables. Men are also responsible for the lawar and sit in a circle, chopping, chatting, and mashing, generally socializing. There’s no rush in Balinese ceremonies and the men enjoy chatting, sipping a coffee of some arak, while making the lawar. Lawar can be spicy and very salty, so a small portion is best for your first time. The nasi bungkus (rice to go) that is sold on the street from a motorbike, in small packets for 2,000rp sometimes contains lawar. Glory Restaurant in Legian is one of the places you can get lawar, along with many other authentic Balinese dishes (Sundays is the Balinese buffet). If you go to a Balinese person’s village tasting lawar and sipping some arak will earn you some ‘bule points’.
