Another thoughtful touch: you're not limited to plain white rice.

Health-conscious diners will love the Nasi Merah (Red Rice) — IDR 9,500 — nutty, wholesome, and satisfying.

Or go for the Nasi Rajang — IDR 15,000: a fragrant spiced rice cooked with Balinese herbs and base genep — Bali's signature spice blend.
