The food at Seraya Shores, Seraya Berat, East Bali

Susa (pronounced "Suss-a") is the cook and manager and was assisted by the charming and graceful Wayan and Comeng. He cooks inventively: one night we had an unusual vegetable curry unexpectedly redolent of nutmeg and cinnamon; another night we had mahi-mahi, a fish, topped with tahini and capsicums, with a kind of deep fried grated potato pattie and small boiled potatoes. The black rice pudding was good too. It was not necessarily traditional Balinese fare by any means. Bali
