Uma by COMO, Ubud
Whilst visiting Bali this Summer, we were lucky enough to stay at the gorgeous Uma by COMO just outside Ubud. Kemiri (meaning ‘candlenut’ in Bahasa) is the restaurant at Uma by COMO, Ubud, and serves the most spectacular breakfasts that we have ever had the pleasure of eating. Tables are set in a beautiful open-air space with alang-alang roofing beside a waterfall-fed pond.
Kemiri Restaurant, Uma by COMO
Menus combine local produce with the techniques of classic Indonesian cuisine, with many innovative combinations. The chef at Kemiri is truly inspired and as well as a range of healthy options including Quinoa, Pear and Dried Cranberry Porridge with Cashew nut Milk and Nut & Seed Flatbread with Cashew Nut, Hummus, Avocado, Tomato & Rocket. However, of all the incredible dishes that we tried during our stay, there was one recipe that was truly outstanding. The Ricotta Hotcakes served with Banana and Salted Caramel Sauce are something we will probably never forget. They are ridiculously light, beyond belief really! A cross between a pancake, a soufflé and a cheesecake, these pancakes are a surefire way to put smiles on the faces around your dining table.
As well as perfect with bananas, these hotcakes are delicious with berries of any kind and of course, nutella. Who could ask for more?
