The Real Bali: An Exclusive Insider’s Journey through Intaran Market.
Description
Step into the heart of local Balinese life at Pasar Intaran – a hidden gem virtually unknown to most visitors. While the tourist markets of Sanur and Denpasar focus on souvenirs, Intaran is where daily life and tradition truly unfold.
Guided by Chef Glenn, you’ll walk through the lively market street and the bustling main warehouse. This is where the real Bali happens: the aroma of freshly grilled sate lilit, the beauty of handmade Balinese offerings, and the rich colours of tropical fruits and local farmers’ produce.
After our market discovery, we return to the peaceful sanctuary of Red Chili Bali for a hands-on cooking session and a chance to explore Widya’s Treasure Trove – a curated shop of unique Balinese finds.
