Named for the mix of spices used in all Indonesian dishes, BUMBU offers authentic Indonesian cuisine at the Sheraton Bandara Hotel, prepared by Chef Rosid Muhammad. The spices are distinctively flavorful but not too spicy for the average diner. Featured starters include Selada Daging Sapi Manis Pedas (tossed grilled beef salad in chili-citrus dressing with cucumber, tomatoes, and coriander). Among popular main courses are Ikan Kerapu Tausi (fried whole grouper with chili-black bean sauce) and Sari Laut Asam Pedas (steamed king prawns, grouper filet, scallops, and mussels with hot and sour soup). The selection of ingredients assures that dishes are consistently at their freshest and finest. The most popular dish on the menu is Udang Karang Bakar atau Panggang Mentega Pedas (grilled lobster with chilli-tomato sauce, served with a dash of garlic-and-butter sauce). The quick-fried Medallions of Australian Beef Tenderloin in Green Chili Sauce are a most and tender meat dish, whilst the Bebek Betutu (Balinese steam-roasted duck in banana leaves) is another must-try item. Bumbu is currently open for dinner only.
