With its arched white ceiling, wood furnishings, and glass windows that let in abundant light during the day, Merah Putih is one beautiful and breezy venue.

Expect Indonesian cuisine with a modern twist, with dishes such as Sumatran lamb loin, suckling pig with cassava leaves, and Makassar oxtail broth with egg yolk.

Run by the same folks behind Kilo Kallang, Kilo Lounge and Camp Kilo in Singapore, this Bali outpost showcases an eclectic menu of Asian and Western dishes such as banh mi (Vietnamese style sandwiches), avocado toast, and tacos. We recommend the Balinese pork rice bowl, which is topped with a scrumptious and hearty mix of tender barbecued pork, sausage, sambal matah (a raw sambal of shallots, chilli and lemongrass), crunchy pork crackling, and a runny egg.
