Beer That’s Balilicious

I’ll be hosting an exploration of pairing ales with Indonesian food on July 14 in the intimate setting of Balilicious. Most Asian restaurants only offer a selection of mass-market lager and Guinness. This delicious dinner will demonstrate the excellent options other beer styles offer, which are always available at Balilicious:

Starters

• Gado Gado Salad & Special House Peanut Sauce
• Perkedel Jagung (corn fritters)
• Martabak Asin (Indonesian beef pancake)

Main (choose when reserving this dinner)

• Kari Ayam (red curry chicken) or
• Sayur Kari (red curry veggies) or
• Rendang Sapi (dry curry beef brisket) or
• Ikan Bali (fried fish filet in tamarind chilli garlic sauce)

Trio Dessert

• Bubur Injin (black rice pudding)
• Pisang Goreng (deep-fried banana)
• Chocolate-and-Avocado Parfait

If you are concerned about the food being spicy, rest assured that this is accessible Indonesian food that is unlikely to set your mouth aflame. Those who do like it hot can ask for sambal to spice it up.
