From Chef Ketut's hometown of Negara, it's a heartfelt welcome for returning loved ones, rooted in the abundance of coconuts that define the region. This rendition blends land and sea, pairing Klungah with tender octopus to celebrate Bali Barat's rich coastal heritage. Inspired by Chef Ketut's childhood days spent harvesting coconuts with his grandfather, this dish evokes his memories of laughter, play, and togetherness under the swaying palms.
