The whole experience is perfect throughout. The staff are punctual and really friendly, the food is great, the whole program is very nicely organized. I don't think I can cook Indonesia food back home though mainly since I can't get the ingredients in U.S., but the whole experience is just awesome and I highly recommend it to anyone visits Ubud

We joined the cooking class with no expectations whatsoever, but came out enriched with knowledge not only about food but fantastic insights about Balinese culture. Such a warm and welcoming family with a beautiful family compound, an experience simply not to be missed. One of the main highlights of our trip and probably had one of our best meals in... More

The whole experience was professional, fun and inclusive from the start. Pickup from our villa was punctual and comfy aircon car - essential in Ubud. Visited a local fruit and veg market, no tourists there and our guide showed us all the interesting produce, what its used for and got to meet some locals. Once we returned to the family... More

We were lucky to have your class exclusively for our group of eight and besides your professionalism, our request for... More

My new wife and I recently attended this class whilst on our honeymoon. Sang De and his family take you into their home and expose you to the traditions of Balinese cooking. It was an exceptionally well organised, professional day rounded off by a wonderful lunch!

My only regret is that I did not take a recording device..... Sang De imparts such insight into every aspect of Balinese cooking, from the prayers to the animals we are about to cook, to the growing of the vegetables and preparation to the people of Bali. My mind was filled with interesting facts and I hadn't even started cooking.... More

I had the pleasure of attending the Lobong cooking school with my daughter during our recent stay in Ubud. From the moment we were picked up in the morning until our drop off in the afternoon, everything was so professional and organised. The market tour was so interesting , not a tourist in sight (only us), the wonderful day at... More

Good opportunity to learn not only Balinese cooking techniques but also about family life and culture firsthand.

This family- run business takes you right into the heart of traditional Balinese living. For over 5 hours Sang De, our host and market guide, and Dewa, our chef and food guide, stepped me and four other 'cooks' (they take up to 10) across the threshold into their home and lives. Their brother-in-law Gunk De arrived to collect me at... More
