Named after an atoll off the coast of Sumbawa , Hu’u offers both the finest cuisine in its “Garden of Eden” setting as well as tantalizing signature cocktails mixed with an eclectic selection of Island of Gods international music in the lounge. This oasis on the celebrates its 12th anniversary throughout 2013.
An elegant venue for the beautiful people, Hu’u has recently hosted
international celebrities including socialite Paris Hilton and music producer
Quincy Jones. Tens of thousands ranging from locals to expats and
tourists have come to mix with the fashionable to savour their epicurean
delights along with the club’s lively beats.
For foodies and those who take delight in the best a restaurant has to offer,
Hu’u has been a draw due to their delectable local and international creations.
For those visiting in 2013 they’ll notice a change, as Hu’u offers a
fresh and authentic dining scene, paying homage to its South-East
Asian“Peranakan” roots. This style of cuisine has long been anticipated by Asian
and well-traveled peers, to have native chefs creating the Pernakan menu means
everyone in or visiting Bali gets to
experience its authenticity and diversity.
Owner Sean Lee says “to understand the meaning of Peranakan, all you have to do
is check out a famous song “Rasa Sayang,” to see how passionate the tri-nation
cultures feel about their past, and if you care to ask anyone from either
place, they’ll all try and claim the song to be from their own mother land. At
the end of the day does it really matter who wrote the song? The fact is,
there is a pride for a bygone era that a mish-mash of cultures shares, which is
why we’ve named the restaurant BABA’S.
Lee says “Baba’s are everywhere in the world to this day and from every culture
– in Asia for example, you can be Chinese or
Tamil and have a Scottish, Portuguese or English surname, this is true to a
Baba’s heritage. What we want to do is give everyone the right to be proud of
their own mix, because it’s something we all essentially share. It’s a global
thing.”
What to expect on the menu? For starters, try the Grilled Sambal Fish on
Banana Leaf, Crispy Chicken with Spicy Chilli Sauce or the Beancurd with Achar
Thai Sauce. Mains include Jumbo Prawn Laksa, Caramelized Coffee Pork Ribs,
Singapore Lobster Noodles, a classic Mee Goreng and Burnt Wok Style Beef or
Fish KwayTeow (Rice Stick).
For those looking to loosen up with one of their signature cocktails, the
lychee martini comes highly recommended. Often mentioned as the best
lychee martini in Bali , they’re best
experienced while lounging near the pool as the sunset casts its golden hues
throughout the venue.
As
the evening progresses, Hu’u transforms from its laid-back, fashionable BABA’S
restaurant into a chic nightclub where top international DJs spin a blend of
the best house, funky and tribal tracks. The club has hosted guest DJs
from as far afield as Australia ,
UK , USA and Asia .
Hu’u
is a “must-visit” venue where occasional tourists can mix and mingle with
others from the jetset group as well as Bali ’s
well-connected expats.
