The Curated Three: My Bulk Favorites



"For anyone embracing the slow-paced Bali life, these are the three staples I swear by."
Cinnamon Granola (14,000 IDR / 100g)


This granola strikes the perfect balance between aromatic spice and a satisfyingly nutty crunch.





"I always pair it with their artisanal house-made yogurt."


Plain: 35k IDR
Greek: 45k IDR
Coconut: 53k IDR.
Let the granola soak in the yogurt overnight, then top with fresh seasonal fruit in the morning. It’s pure morning bliss.
Tempeh Chips (33,000 IDR / 100g)


While you can find tempeh chips in any convenience store, these are in a league of their own.
Crafted by hand in-store, they boast a deep, authentic flavor that mass-produced versions lack.


Lightly salted and incredibly crisp, the texture is nothing short of addictive.



"The perfect local snack—and even better paired with a cold Bintang."
Crispy Pumpkin (47,000 IDR / 100g)


I saw a regular buying a whole kilogram of these and knew I had to try them; I’ve been hooked ever since.
Since they aren't fried, they’re incredibly light, highlighting the natural sweetness and satisfying crunch of the pumpkin.



"Delicious on their own or as a crunchy upgrade for your salads."
Staying Well: The Island Way


Jamu, the traditional Balinese elixir, is brewed fresh right in the shop.
Its list of benefits includes:
Immune support
Stress management
Cancer prevention
Bone and eye health
A total "tune-up" for your daily well-being.
A single sip sends a gentle, spicy warmth through your body—the ideal ritual to sharpen your focus for the day.
