"Debbie was an extremely friendly and welcoming host. She speaks fluent English and is very open to sharing her stories and culinary background. We tasted a variety of delicious traditional Balinese cuisine. Our favourites were the battered shrimp, fish satay and corn fritters. Desserts were delicious!"
"I had a wonderful dinner with Debbie and her friend Meyliana. We had a selection of different traditional Balinese and Indonesian dishes. The company was also excellent. Debbie and Meyliana run a small school and it was really interesting to listen to all their stories.
I would certainly recommend Travelling Spoon and Debbie Huang to all."
