Bali food scene gets a new chef pop-up

YUKI Chef Yudha Permana

Prepare to be wowed, Bali foodies! The culinary scene is about to get a whole lot spicier as celebrity chef Ross Magnaye joins forces with the talented Yudha Permana for two exclusive takeovers at the Japanese-inspired restaurant YUKI. These events promise a tantalizing fusion of Filipino and Balinese flavors, served up with a side of flame-cooked flair that will leave your taste buds begging for more.

Ross Magnaye, the culinary genius behind Serai in Melbourne, is no stranger to the spotlight. Recently crowned Best New Restaurant of 2023 by Gourmet Traveller Magazine, Magnaye brings his signature Filipino flair to the table. Known for his innovative approach to modern Filipino-Australian cooking, he marries the finest Australian ingredients with the bold, vibrant flavors of the Philippines. His culinary journey is a masterclass in expertise and passion, blending Eastern and Western influences into dishes that have delighted diners worldwide. And yes, he’s even graced the set of MasterChef Australia and earned accolades from heavyweights like Jamie Oliver and the late Jock Zonfrillo.

“The idea behind Serai is modern Filipino-Australian cooking. We take the best Australian ingredients and mix them with flavors from the Philippines to create dishes with strong, distinct tastes. I am very familiar with the Bali food scene too and look forward to incorporating local produce into the mix,” says Magnaye.

So, what’s cooking at YUKI? The bespoke menu for this special event will feature new YUKI dishes alongside Magnaye’s greatest hits. Start your culinary adventure with Warm Oysters, kissed by smoked beef fat and sour citrus, or dive into Wood-Grilled Scallops, paired perfectly with Siargao butter and sambal matah. Feeling adventurous? Try Ross’ take on Philippine ceviche “Sinuglaw,” featuring raw hamachi, pork crackling, and Pinoy dressing. Or sink your teeth into the inventive “Filo-o-Fish,” a fried snapper sandwich with American cheese, salsa verde, and hot and spicy mayo.

But wait, there’s more! The menu also boasts Beef “Kilawin” served with roasted bone marrow and warm bread, Filipino Roast Chicken with Pinoy BBQ sauce and sambal hijau, and a mouthwatering Woodfired Pork Chop accompanied by smoked banana sauce and Bali jus.
