Experience Authentic Seafood at Kenja Ikan Bakar Using Local Balinese Ingredients
At Kenja Ikan Bakar, located in the picturesque Nusa Dua, the essence of Bali is infused in every dish through our dedicated use of local ingredients. Our commitment to providing authentic seafood experiences is deeply rooted in our choice of indigenous produce, ranging from Singaraja sea salt to fresh fish caught directly from the Bali ocean. This approach not only enhances the flavor of our dishes but also supports local communities and sustainable practices.
Singaraja Sea Salt: A Taste of the Ocean
One of the cornerstones of our kitchen is Singaraja sea salt, known for its ability to bring out the natural flavors of seafood without overpowering them. Harvested locally, this sea salt is a reflection of the island's pristine waters and adds a crisp, clean taste that complements the freshness of our seafood.
Tanusan Oil from Singaraja: The Secret Ingredient
Tanusan oil, a traditional cooking oil from Singaraja, is another local ingredient we use to prepare our dishes. This unique oil is praised for its subtle flavor that enhances without dominating the dish. It’s perfect for grilling and sautéing, allowing the natural taste of the seafood to shine through while providing a slight hint of earthiness that ties the flavors together beautifully.
Pedawa Palm Sugar: Sweetness from the Heart of Bali
To balance the savory flavors of our seafood, we incorporate Pedawa palm sugar from the northern regions of Bali. This palm sugar is renowned for its rich, caramel-like sweetness that adds depth and a touch of indulgence to our sauces and marinades. Unlike commercial sugars, Pedawa palm sugar is unrefined and boasts a complex flavor profile that elevates the overall dining experience.
Fish from Bali Ocean: Freshness Guaranteed
The star of our menu is, undoubtedly, the fish sourced directly from the Bali ocean. We select a variety of species, each known for their texture and flavor, ensuring that our seafood platters and dishes reflect the diversity of Bali’s marine life. From snapper to mahi-mahi, each fish is chosen based on its freshness and quality, caught sustainably to ensure both ecological responsibility and the best taste.
Fresh Vegetables from Bedugul: Crisp and Nutritious
No dish at Kenja Ikan Bakar is complete without a serving of fresh vegetables from Bedugul. This highland region in Bali is famous for its fertile soil and cool climate, making it ideal for growing a range of organic vegetables. We use these crisp vegetables to add color, crunch, and nutrition to our seafood dishes, enhancing them with natural flavors that complement the oceanic fare.
