PRESTIGIOUS
ACHIEVEMENT
Congratulations to the Swiss watch
brand, Longines for receiving the Price
Revival award at the 2017 Grand Prix
de lHorlogerie de Geneve. It was The
Longines Avigation BigEye that won the
hearts of the jury based on its assertive
look, excellence, creativity and passion
upon the watch industry. The winning
watch is a reinterpretation of a chrono-
graph with design inspired from the 1930s
to preserve the great tradition of pilot
watches.
BREAK THE CODE www.longines.com
Located in Yans House Hotel in Kuta,
the newly open Code Grati is ready to
take diners on a whole different culinary
journey. With Chef Bondan Yuliarso
leading the kitchen team, the restaurant
elevates traditional Balinese ingredients
and crafts them into ne-dining quality dishes. Some of the menu items that the
restaurant presents include scallop turmeric yuzu, crab meat with Kintamani
soursop and basil glacier, yellow duck with red cabbage and mangoesteen, and
cube roll massaman deconstruction. But the most unique from the savory dishes
is the Obat Nyamuk where lime leaf and chili paste are created resembling
an Indonesian traditional mosquito repellent. The real Indonesian obat nyamuk
(mosquito repellent) is usually placed on the oor. This dish symbolizes our vision
in elevating traditional ingredients to high-quality dishes, Chef Bondan stated.
Another highlight is the chocolate shell with coconut mousse tarragon and salak
puree for dessert, which is a show on its own as the chef does the plating right
in front of diners.
