Amid the ancient royal gardens and historic structures of Jaipur, a 350-year-old palace and vineyard have been transformed into a heritage restaurant. The space, known as the erstwhile Neel Mahal, sits at the top of Vidyadhar Ka Bagh. As you traverse through the arched pavilions, Mughal gardens, chhatris, and fountains of the place, the walk itself sets the mood for a regal dinner. The multi-cuisine menu leaves you spoilt for choice with a variety of dishes from Chinese starters to Mughlai kebabs and Indian gravies. The outdoor pavilion, known as Jalsa, offers gazebo-style seating, while the indoor area, Jyamati, is painted in blue and white in sync with the palace’s original aesthetics.

There’s something powerfully compelling about Balinese food. Whenever I arrive back home on the island, my taste buds immediately cry out for local cuisine. I head straight to the eastern outskirts of the capital, Denpasar, to my favourite warung (a simple roadside stall or shop), Nasi Tekor. This rustic spot recalls Bali in the 1970s and offers a fix of nasi campur, the Indonesian staple of plain rice usually served with vegetables, egg, meat or fish to make up a composite meal.
