Taking guests on a journey across the Island of the Gods, Padma Resort Legian unveils Bali Heritage Afternoon Tea, a reimagined afternoon tea experience inspired by Bali's diverse landscapes, culinary traditions, and locally sourced produce.
Presented on a bespoke tray shaped like the island of Bali, the collection features ten handcrafted sweet and savoury creations that celebrate the flavours and stories of the destination. Thoughtfully curated to showcase Bali's cultural richness through taste, the experience offers a refreshing alternative to conventional afternoon teas found elsewhere on the island.
Among the sweet highlights is the Bedugul Strawberry Delight, inspired by the fertile highlands of Bedugul, a region renowned for its cool climate and exceptional agricultural produce, particularly its fresh strawberries.

The Denpasar Snapper Satay features fresh snapper infused with Bali spices and lemongrass, complemented by vibrant sambal matah that reflects the coastal flavours of nearby Sanur. Meanwhile, the Gianyar Chicken Quiche offers an elevated interpretation of a traditional Bali preparation, combining chicken cooked with aromatic Bali spice paste and cassava leaves within a delicate quiche base, bridging local heritage with international culinary techniques.
To accompany the culinary experience, guests may choose from a selection of the resort's signature homemade tea blends.
