For the past two weeks, I travelled around Bali, Indonesia exploring temples, rice fields, and eating my way around the country in search of traditional Indonesian bakeries.
One night in Ubud, an art based city basically in the center of the country, we found Kue, a Chocolaterie, Bakery and Kafe (FYI: they spell everything wrong in Bali, and i know its not Kafe, but Cafe). This small bakery was filled with pastries, truffles, and fresh breads, they even had some Gluten-free and Raw options!
Pat and I chose to buy an assortment of different chocolates.
We got a White Chocolate Green Tea Chocolate that was fantastic! The matcha powder was a perfect match with the white chocolate; so good we ended up going for 2nds! The Espresso Chocolate truffle was, again, amazing, it tasted exactly like a prefectly pulled cup of espresso, and topped with a crunchy espresso bean! Next was a Candied Ginger Milk Chocolate, that was not too overpowering of ginger and it melted in my mouth. We also got a White Chocolate with Rose and Cardamom truffle, a flavor combo I have never devoured before, but had to give it a try and to my surprise to worked awesome together. And last but not least we had their tradition chocolate truffle that was pretty darn great!
All of their chocolates had the most amazingly gorgeous flavors, and the middles complimented the crunchy chocolate shell perfectly. The flavors worked perfectly together and did not over power each other, which many places I feel cannot accomplish!
We are guilty and got seconds of most of all the chocolates, and would of gone back for thirds! Kue is one of my favorite bakeries I tried in Bali, and cannot wait to go back to try out their breads and other pastries!!
