00:12 One of the biggest villages in the world.

00:15 Where can we find it?

00:17 And why in some houses here, there should be a temple

00:20 that is bigger than the bedrooms?

00:23 Do you believe that there is a bath here that can cure diseases?

00:27 Is it true? We will reveal it later.

00:30 In a holy sanctuary, why are there more than a thousand monkeys?

00:36 Are they kind to people?

00:39 Two thumbs up. Definitely you need to add this to your list.

00:43 And cook-off, I can't miss it.

00:47 But what if I meet a veteran chef?

00:50 Eye for an eye, tooth for a tooth.

00:52 Who among us has a better food?

00:56 [music]

01:09 There are more than 17,000 islands in Indonesia.

01:12 But in Bali, which is smaller than Bohol Island,

01:15 there are more than 20,000 temples.

01:18 Why?

01:19 Because Bali is the only Hindu island in Indonesia

01:23 where most people are Muslims.

01:25 Those temples are under-developed.

01:28 Because of the Hindu religion, it is said that there are millions of gods.

01:32 That's why Bali is also known as the island of gods.

01:35 [music]

01:38 So why are there more than a thousand monkeys in these two temples?

01:42 In the more than 12 hectares of Ubud,

01:45 you can visit the main temple, Pura Dalem Agung Padeng Tegal

01:50 or Great Temple of Shiva

01:52 and the Pura Beji Padang Tegal or Holy Spring Temple.

01:57 Some holy trees, also known as banyan trees, are also surrounded by the sanctuary.

02:02 So Kuya said that there are many banyan trees like this one,

02:08 these big trees, near not only the cemeteries but also the temples

02:13 because it's believed that this tree is accompanied by spirits.

02:19 That's why many people come here, not only to see what they built

02:25 but also to pretty much offer appreciation

02:31 because they offer not just appreciation but also respect.

02:36 But the most noticeable in the place are the Balinese long-tailed monkeys.

02:41 They are free to fly and take selfies.

02:44 Try it.

02:45 [Music]

02:52 Two thumbs up.

02:53 Definitely, probably, you need to add this to your list

02:58 if you are passing through the town of Ubud which is in Central Bali.

03:06 [Music]

03:15 In the Philippines, it's a fail usually.

03:18 Isn't that why we are here in Bali?

03:20 Oh no!

03:21 It's true that Bali is a prime surfing destination

03:27 and for all surfers, beginners or a bit pro,

03:33 even though I don't really surf and it's been, I think, years since the last time I surfed.

03:40 I think, I forgot.

03:42 Well, I'm just a beginner, intermediate.

03:45 I only surf when we have to feature surfing for Biayani Drew.

03:49 [Music]

04:04 No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.

04:06 In fair, winner.

04:10 We used a longboard so it's friendlier and more stable.

04:14 The waves, it's already what? 545, it's low tide.

04:19 The good thing here is there's not much rocks.

04:21 So even if you crash, which is what will happen if you are a surfer,

04:25 you won't get hurt.

04:27 It was a great surfing experience.

04:30 It's nice to feel that adrenaline again.

04:32 And we're lucky to experience that adrenaline here in Bali.

04:41 In Bali, I also learned that they have a different understanding of the term "basic"

04:46 especially when it comes to food.

04:47 All right, so we're going to have a cooking class here with Ms. Puspan.

04:52 So for today, we are preparing what dish?

04:56 And today we're making pepes ikan.

04:58 Pepes ikan.

05:00 Ikan, which is a fish dish.

05:02 Yes, yeah, we roll on banana leaf.

05:05 The first one we must make the basic one is basic yellow sauce.

05:10 In Bali, we call it "bumbu kuning".

05:13 "Bumbu kuning".

05:15 Let's start our cook-off with Ms. Puspa.

05:21 But the basic sauce that she's talking about is not just one,

05:25 there are five or ten ingredients.

05:27 In Luwia, there are already four kinds.

05:29 Aromatic ginger, and then turmeric, kukurma, they look like this.

05:34 Ginger and galangal, the spicy ginger.

05:37 Oh, you have a spicy ginger.

05:40 Chili, there are two kinds.

05:43 All of this, we chop.

05:48 Okay, starting.

05:53 Oh, wow, at the same time.

05:56 At the same time, you can do one by one.

05:59 This is just the basic sauce.

06:02 How many ingredients does this basic sauce have?

06:06 And then nutmeg or muskat.

06:08 Nutmeg, okay, just a little bit.

06:11 Shrimp paste.

06:13 Shrimp paste.

06:15 Yes.

06:17 Balinese women, we don't have to go to the gym, our Bali gym.

06:24 Oh, that's why.

06:25 Look at.

06:26 So this is what you call Bali building.

06:35 The basic sauce, the bumbu kuning,

06:37 they use it as a base for almost all of their dishes.

06:41 So how many times a day do you do this?

06:44 Lots of times, two times a day.

06:46 But you have multiple cooking classes per day.

06:50 And you have, wow.

06:51 But you've been doing this for 15 years.

06:53 Yeah?

06:54 Yeah.

06:55 In my house.

06:56 Just like our tuna with mixed tomatoes and lemon basil leaves.

07:02 It smells so good.

07:04 So we're not done with their basic sauce.

07:07 How many times will this be complete?

07:09 Black and white pepper, also half teaspoon.

07:13 Half teaspoon.

07:14 And then we'll mix all the ingredients.

07:17 Phew, finally, we can wrap the pepes ikan.

07:24 Gentle, gentle.

07:28 Gentle.

07:29 Good, gentle.

07:30 Gentle.

07:31 Hey, look.

07:32 Good boy.

07:33 Yeah.

07:34 One more, one more.

07:35 We'll put this in the steamer to cook.

07:43 We can see which one is different, right?

07:45 After five minutes, it's cooked.

07:48 Mr. Andrew.

07:54 Yes, ma'am.

07:55 Our tuna is done.

07:57 Our tuna already done.

07:58 You say, "Nu-tuna."

08:00 Tuna.

08:01 Nu-tuna.

08:02 It means it's cooked.

08:03 Does it taste good?

08:06 Can you try?

08:11 I must be honest or not?

08:13 Honest.

08:14 14 years of experience versus 14 pokey points.

08:16 Which one is heavier?

08:18 Who will be the winner of our Bali Cooking Showdown?

08:25 In every traditional house in Bali,

08:27 there should always be a temple.

08:29 But why is this bigger than the room?

08:34 To find out,

08:37 let's visit one of the cleanest villages in the world.

08:40 This is the family temple.

08:51 Because in Bali, the majority of Hindus,

08:55 in every house of the Balinese people,

08:57 they have their own temple.

08:59 So where they do daily offering.

09:02 The simple one we call "canang."

09:04 Made from the young coconut leaf,

09:07 they put some flour,

09:08 they put some rice, some vegetables.

09:10 So before the Balinese people eating the food,

09:13 we have to make some offering first.

09:15 So that one to say thank you to the God.

09:18 Today we have enough food.

09:20 They say that there's a drink here in Bali

09:22 that is named after Grandpa?

09:24 Or is that why?

09:25 But now you don't anymore.

09:26 Sometime.

09:27 Sometime.

09:28 Thank you.

09:30 Okay, just now I talked to you.

09:33 The Lolo.

09:34 Lolo, yeah.

09:35 This is the drink.

09:37 Oh, L-O-L-O-H.

09:40 Yeah, this is from the leaf.

09:42 It's Lolo.

09:43 It's very famous here.

09:45 So you have...

09:46 We have to shake first.

09:47 You have to shake.

09:48 They put some coconut inside.

09:49 Let's have a drink.

09:50 Cheers.

09:51 It's salty, sour, and sweet.

10:00 But the first one you had,

10:02 it's a little salty, sour, and sweet.

10:05 You'll get drunk here.

10:07 Lolo.

10:15 Their room is different.

10:18 It's a different kind of room for a temple in a house.

10:21 So they have here,

10:23 this is where they cook.

10:25 Bricks, bamboo,

10:28 rice,

10:29 their cooking is big,

10:31 rice,

10:32 just kidding, maybe it's a dish.

10:33 But,

10:35 here,

10:36 this is where they sleep.

10:37 In this temple,

10:39 bathing is said to cure diseases.

10:44 God created Indra the Holy Springs

10:48 and this temple is called Kirta Ampud.

10:51 It's my first time to experience,

10:56 you know,

10:57 bathing in a pool that's public

11:00 and you can actually drink

11:02 and bathe yourself using it.

11:05 And that's what people do apparently.

11:07 So, each level,

11:09 that's what you need to do.

11:10 Apparently, you have to pray.

11:12 I guess, a sign of gratitude,

11:14 a sign of, you know, just giving thanks.

11:16 I pray for the safety of my family.

11:20 I also tried the water which is pretty yummy.

11:23 Water is pretty cold,

11:25 pretty,

11:26 it's a good thing I didn't take a bath this morning.

11:28 Yeah,

11:29 nice experience.

11:30 Nice to see a lot of tourists in different colors also.

11:33 Enjoy the experience.

11:35 We met someone here

11:39 who used to own a small shop.

11:41 But now,

11:42 it's an institution

11:43 and now owns

11:44 one of the best restaurants in Bali.

11:47 He is 77 years old,

11:49 Wayan Murni.

11:50 And his secret is

11:53 the famous

11:54 Lumpiang Ubad.

11:56 What?

11:58 Just a sample.

11:59 Best one.

12:03 Probably.

12:04 Tepat Chantok

12:06 is what the Balinese call it.

12:08 It's a mixture of vegetables with peanut sauce.

12:11 It's not just a mixture of vegetables.

12:13 How do you cook it?

12:14 Mix the herb with peanut sauce.

12:18 Just mix the fried shallot,

12:20 garlic,

12:21 turmeric, and salt.

12:22 Then, we put

12:27 soya sauce,

12:28 palm sugar,

12:30 then sweet soya sauce.

12:32 Their Indonesian sweet and thick soy sauce.

12:35 Mix it well

12:36 and add lime juice.

12:38 They also add

12:39 tepat or rice cake

12:41 that they use

12:42 to replace rice.

12:43 Then, they add tofu and tempeh

12:45 made from fermented soybeans

12:47 and other vegetables.

12:49 In Murni's story,

12:58 I found out that

12:59 they just started

13:00 to live together

13:01 in a small house.

13:02 In 1974,

13:05 I was only having the shop

13:08 before the restaurant.

13:10 What shop was that?

13:11 The one,

13:12 my shop

13:13 beside the upstairs,

13:15 the top.

13:16 What were you selling?

13:17 Quite a few different things.

13:19 Jewelry, some...

13:21 Selling for tourists already?

13:23 Yes.

13:24 At that time.

13:25 At that time.

13:26 Me and my husband,

13:27 we have one table,

13:28 bamboo table,

13:29 and two chairs.

13:30 And then, these tourists

13:32 staying there,

13:33 they come past.

13:34 Oh, I like to have

13:35 one of those.

13:36 Oh.

13:37 And I said,

13:38 "Oh, I'm sorry.

13:39 This is just for us."

13:41 And almost every day

13:43 that happened.

13:44 And then,

13:45 maybe happened like that

13:47 every day about one week.

13:49 Then I thought,

13:50 Business.

13:51 Kaching.

13:52 Yeah.

13:53 Whoa.

13:54 I already have the ingredient.

13:57 Why didn't I start

13:58 selling it?

13:59 So, I start with local food

14:03 very few.

14:04 When they started eating

14:05 on the same day,

14:06 they didn't have electricity.

14:07 The restaurant operated

14:08 for six years without electricity.

14:10 Without electricity.

14:12 So, you just used kerosene?

14:14 Yes, the light with kerosene

14:16 and cooking...

14:18 And cooking.

14:19 Kerosene burner.

14:20 Right.

14:21 But now,

14:22 not only is Murni's Warung

14:23 known as one of the best

14:24 in Bali,

14:25 it also has its own

14:26 traditional Balinese compound

14:28 with 11 guest rooms and spa.

14:30 Bounty, right?

14:32 So, what does Malakare-kare

14:34 Lumpiang Hubad taste like?

14:36 I like it because

14:37 you infused the peanut sauce.

14:39 Yes.

14:40 Is that like an Indo thing?

14:42 Very local food, Indonesian,

14:44 because we grow peanut here.

14:46 So, we make those.

14:48 Well, I hope you like it.

14:50 I love it.

14:52 I'm a fan of peanut.

14:54 Oh.

14:55 Oh, I forgot to order

14:57 more extra sambal.

14:59 And then, this is

15:01 this drink?

15:02 Because it's so hot here,

15:04 humidity, the old days,

15:06 people coming from work,

15:08 from rice paddy, working,

15:10 and the older people

15:12 stay at home.

15:13 This is drink that we make,

15:15 but without ice.

15:16 We don't have ice...

15:17 We didn't have before.

15:18 ...because no refrigeration.

15:20 Right, but now we have ice.

15:21 Now we put ice

15:22 because of the tourists,

15:23 you know, like,

15:24 "Oh."

15:25 But at that time...

15:26 But the straw is not working.

15:28 No.

15:29 Oh, this one.

15:31 That's for mixing.

15:32 Sorry.

15:33 Just kidding.

15:34 It's very refreshing.

15:37 Yeah.

15:38 Well, the way we serve

15:40 this cutlery since pandemic.

15:43 Okay.

15:44 Because at that time...

15:45 We drink this.

15:46 Oh, no.

15:47 No, no, no.

15:48 Sorry, I thought...

15:49 To kill the germs...

15:52 The germs, right.

15:53 ...during the pandemic.

15:54 That's why there's a knife.

15:55 That's why.

15:56 Ah, germs.

15:57 Kill.

15:58 (laughing)

15:59 (speaking in foreign language)

16:03 (knife chopping)

16:17 - Thank you so much for helping me cook this beautiful dish.

16:22 This is what I cook?

16:24 - Yeah.

16:25 - This is what you cook?

16:26 Can you please try?

16:27 My cooking?

16:28 - Uh-huh.

16:30 I will.

16:31 - If it's good or not, or maybe it needs more salt.

16:35 Can you try?

16:36 (laughing)

16:36 - I must be honest or not?

16:38 - Honest.

16:39 You have to be honest.

16:40 (dramatic music)

16:43 - Very good, look from outside.

16:45 (humming)

16:52 - Oh yeah, very good.

16:56 Oh wow, I will taste mine first and then I will taste yours.

17:00 Then I will taste yours.

17:07 (laughing)

17:14 Better.

17:19 - For me, this one is delicious.

17:26 More tasty, a lot of herb, that's spicy also.

17:30 I can taste it.

17:32 - This food, a little strong for me.

17:36 More spicy, a little soft, good for the foreign people.

17:41 - I don't know who made this one,

17:44 but this one is, it is good,

17:46 but I choose this one's better.

17:50 Masarap.

17:51 - For myself, because I like with the strong,

17:56 I'm Balinese, I'm like with strong, I like with this.

17:59 - You thought it's a tie?

18:02 You say blue tuna.

18:08 - Tuna.

18:09 - Leaf blue tuna.

18:11 - You will get drunk here.

18:12 - It's good.

18:16 - Usually when we are different,

18:19 we have the same way of thinking.

18:21 - That's why I have coconut juice.

18:25 (laughing)

18:28 (speaking in foreign language)

18:33 (upbeat music)

18:43 (upbeat music)

18:46 (upbeat music)
