Dinner Menu

Dinner at Hujan Locale is modern Indonesian food in Ubud, drawn from across the archipelago and served family-style: snacks, dumplings and sates, small plates, slow-cooked curries, whole fish and big plates for the table.

Start with tahu gejrot, slipper lobster dumplings or beef sate Padang. Move on to slow-cooked beef rendang, Javanese beef cheek or steamed ikan bumbu kuning. For the centre of the table: Balinese-style smoked duck or the house-smoked black pepper short rib.

A love letter to Indonesia

Indonesia's food cannot be told through one dish or one island. It lives in home kitchens, warungs, market stalls and recipes shaped by the ingredients growing nearby. It belongs to the people who cook it, grow it and pass their knowledge on.

Chef Will Meyrick's travels across the archipelago inform a menu that keeps regional names and flavours in view. His modern Indonesian cooking begins with respect for the source: the region, the home kitchen, the grower and the knowledge carried into each recipe. Each dish carries a sense of where it began; in the produce, the spice and the hands that shaped it.

For those seeking Indonesian food in Ubud, our invitation is simple: sit down, choose a few dishes and take the time to discover what makes each one its own.

The region belongs in the name

The meal might begin in Cirebon, with Tahu Gejrot: tofu dressed with palm sugar, tamarind, shallot and chilli. Sweetness gives way to a sharper edge, making room for another bite.

Beef Sate Padang brings a different warmth. Thick curry sauce coats the sate, with rice cake alongside. Slipper Lobster Dumplings carry Padang-style chilli sauce and fried curry leaf into another expression of the menu's regional interests.

These dishes keep their places of origin close. The names are an invitation to ask, taste and learn, while the food remains something to enjoy with the people beside you.

Rendang worth taking your time over

As more plates arrive, the meal settles into a slower rhythm.

Slow-Cooked Beef Rendang brings coconut milk and Padang spices together, with cassava leaf, sambal ijo and nasi kuning alongside. Its depth is a reason to pause, take another spoonful of rice and let the flavours linger.

Javanese Slow-Cooked Beef Cheek follows another course, with jengkol beans, nutmeg and sweet soy. Both give time an important role in the cooking, drawing out the qualities that make these dishes worth sharing.

For anyone seeking Indonesian food in Ubud, this is a good place to begin: a few regional dishes, vegetables alongside and enough room at the table to taste them together.

Local heroes at the table

Bali has its own place in the meal. Hand-Chopped Duck Lawar brings palm heart and fern tips to the table, while Balinese rice accompanies the dishes around it.

The rice deserves as much attention as the plate beside it. So do the leaves, fruit and spices that bring character to the kitchen: ginger flower, coconut, andaliman pepper and the produce chosen for each dish.

A generous meal depends on more than the kitchen. The farmer tending the crop, the grower bringing produce to market and the cook who knows what an ingredient can become all have a part in it. Home kitchens carry the knowledge of how these dishes should taste. Our respect for the local shapes what we choose, how we cook it and how we speak about its origins.

The local heroes are part of the story throughout the meal, with Balinese coffee waiting at its close.

Desserts in Ubud

A final spoonful, rooted in the local. Dessert has its own place in the meal. Coconut, palm sugar, fruit and Balinese coffee invite you to stay a little longer. Choose something to share, or enjoy a plate of your own before the afternoon or evening continues.

Balinese Affogato combines palm sugar rice balls with coconut ice cream and single-origin Balinese coffee. Pineapple Granita brings a cooler finish, with nata de coco and coconut.

Leave a little room for dessert in Ubud. There is time for another spoonful and the conversation still to come.
