2. Bebek Betutu (Duck in Balinese Spices)
Bebek Betutu is a dish that tells a story. A story of the island’s lush landscapes, abundant herbs, and spices, and the love and care that goes into preparing each meal. The duck, chosen for its tenderness, is marinated overnight in a mix of local herbs and spices, ensuring every fiber absorbs the flavors.
When you dine at Sakti Garden’s Loji Restaurant, you’re not just having a meal; you’re partaking in a culinary ritual. Our Bebek Betutu is slow-cooked, wrapped in banana leaves, ensuring that the meat is tender, juicy, and packed with flavors that dance on your palate.
