Komodo Kitchen Warung-Style Dinner featuring Barramundi
Dubbed ‘the first lady of exotic’, Chef Gina Onyx is the culinary badass responsible for Komodo Kitchen and her undeniable status as one of the hottest tables at frame. She loves the Indonesian landscape – and it shows – this time bringing us a Warung-Style Friday night dinner party, featuring sustainable Barramundi (deemed as “Best Choice” under the Seafood Watch sustainability program.) An essential part of daily life in Indonesia and the Bali islands, the Warung-Style, brings a simpler, more zen and minimalist, style of cooking; instead of common heavy meats, stewed and braised for hours. Warung-Style brings soups, rice, vegetables, crackers, dipping sauce, tofu, tempeh, and grilled fish to the communal table, served by family-owned businesses, mostly by women in Warungs (small cafés) made from bamboo, palm/coconut leaves, and thatched organic and natural eco-friendly materials. Carrying the Balinese vibe to our frame home, plan on kecapi/bamboo flute in the background and beachside peaceful energy. Bowls of Sundanese soup from the West Java Island laden with young jackfruit, green papaya, and leafy greens in a pungent sweet, sour and savory tamarind broth. Spiced Barramundi wrapped in banana leaf with Cucumber Sambal Bajak. And Grilled Pineapple with Coconut Ice-cream. Bring it on gorgeous Komodo team. We can hardly wait to feast, Warung-Style.
