Cooked over Australian wood charcoal
The restaurant describes its cooking as shaped by Australian wood charcoal and Balinese flavour. The chicken is the dish visitors mention most, and one diner said it is marinated overnight and brined before it is cooked. The beef ribs get a sweet glaze, and the sambal and pickled vegetable sides balance the smoky meat. Dishes arrive on wide white plates with a small bowl of chilli sauce, so the kitchen's style is easy to spot on the table.
