You do not have to travel to Bali for authentic Indonesian cuisine. At Kintamani, named after Bali’s famed mountain district, located at Furama Riverfront Singapore, 405 Havelock Road, you can enjoy the cosy ambience, soothing gamelan music and personable service which reflect the warmth and hospitality typical of Indonesians.
Balinese Chef’s I Gusti Nyoman Kaler and Chef Noldy Herling Bawling tempt diners with authentic Indonesian cuisine in the extensive buffet and a la carte spread, whilst amiable service staff fuss over diners to ensure that the guests truly feel at home.
Kintamani was the first restaurant within a hotel in Singapore to be Halal certified. Since then, Kintamani has been the restaurant of choice amongst government officials, corporations as well as families who favour authentic Indonesian food.
I was invited to a food tasting together with my guest writer Carlos who contributed most parts of this blog. The food was appetizing and I enjoyed the white rice! I enjoy my rice sticky, soft and steamy.

Must try chef’s specialty
Ayam Kodok Kintamani
(Only available upon request and is lovingly prepared via a laborious process of skinning and boning a chicken, which is then minced and marinated with medley of spices. This filling is stuffed back into skin and streamed to bring out the succulent flavours,then deep-fried till golden brown.)
To round off a delightful meal, tuck into the array of mouth-watering desserts and must try the signature Indonesian refreshment Jus Buah Alpokat (Fresh Avocado Juice with Brown Sugar).

Wow – they even made the interior look like the restaurants around the crater of the volcano in Kintamani. Nice to see some of the less common aspects of Balinese food being enjoyed in other countries.
