Jimbaran’s seaside dining institution, Cuca, recently launched a handcrafted blend of chilies and spices. According to chef-owner Kevin Cherkas, Cuca’s Hot Sauce (Rp75,000/bottle) is made to satisfy the many spice enthusiasts that come their way. Masterfully fermented, blended and smoked, it delivers a kick and depth into any dish. The slow-cooked technique creates a sauce rich in probiotic, ideal to improve one’s digestive health. One thing for sure, the hot sauce is not for the weak. The restaurant also offers ready-to-cook meals such as Roasted Octopus (Rp90,000) and Kevin’s Fried Chicken (Rp60,000).

The restaurant was started by Heinz von Holzen and renowned for its cooking class. The colonial chic decor together with the artful display of photographs by the owner offers a homely experience. Its mixed satay dish is top notch. an Indonesian restaurant that has been opened since 1986, is my other favourite. The grilled whole fish and delicious homemade is the perfect combination.
