Mozaic Bali chocolate truffle-saved by Chic n Cheap Living

CnC Living Recommends: {Restaurant Review}: Mozaic, Bali, Indonesia

December 22, 2010
A place has got to be pretty good it if greets you with this right?

Bali shouldn’t be known for just its beaches and markets, it should also be known for this restaurant.Β  Eating at Mozaic was one of my most unique and fun restaurant experiences to date (and in Pellegrino’s World’s 50 best restaurants).

If you’re a foodie, eat the chef’s (ahem, Michelin starred) table tasting menu here.Β  It’ll be a good time and possibly your best meal in Indonesia and among the best meals in your life (this coming from someone who was getting over food poisoning in Bali but ate almost every tasty morsel here).

The chef’s tasting menu was a Chic ‘n Cheap Living experience – you sit in a private room with other patrons while the chef guides you through the dishes and offers tips along the way in a shining and enviable test kitchen.Β  It cost ~$100/person which was worthwhile considering the level of cuisine and personal attention from the chef.Β  This restaurant was memorable not really solely because it had good food, but because it provided such an intimate and personal dining experience.

A sampling of our courses:
Langoustine tails in a citrus ceviche

Foie Gras two ways – chilled with nashi pear and seared with candied kumquats and chocolate

Whipped celeriac ice cream with black truffle espuma (yes truffles can be eaten for dessert)

 

Chocolate truffles – mmm

    Oh WOW, I’d love to sample all this goodness! Too bad I can’t just instantly transport myself to Bali πŸ™‚ A favourite vacation eat was unexpected – total hole-in-the-wall in Florence, just locals, but they put all the effort into the food. I thought I’d died and gone to heaven after the first bite of the specialty porcini mushroom risotto πŸ™‚
