What to expect

You'll arrive at Gong Restaurant and move straight into the kitchen with your chef. Expect to chop, mix, and cook—this isn't a demonstration where you watch from the sidelines. The chef will walk you through each recipe step by step, explaining techniques as you go. You'll handle ingredients like spice pastes, coconut, and local proteins used in everyday Balinese cooking. After two hours of work, you and the group sit down together to eat lunch from what you've prepared. The pace is relaxed and the focus is on learning by doing rather than rushing through dishes.
