MOZAIC PRESENTS AN INTIMATE CAVIAR DINNER AT THE CHEF’S TABLE

A six-course exploration of caviar with live cooking, hosted by Chef Blake Thornley

Ubud, Bali, September 2026 – Mozaic Restaurant Gastronomique will host an intimate Caviar Dinner on 26 September 2026, featuring a six-course menu created and hosted by Chef Blake Thornley.

Held at Mozaic’s Chef’s Table, the evening brings diners closer to the creative process through live cooking and direct interaction with Chef Blake and his culinary team. Each course will explore a different expression of caviar, pairing its distinctive salinity and texture with Mozaic’s contemporary approach to Indonesian ingredients and modern gastronomy.

Rather than treating caviar simply as a finishing touch, the menu places it at the centre of the experience. Across six courses, familiar and unexpected pairings will reveal the ingredient’s versatility while retaining the sense of curiosity that continues to shape Mozaic’s cuisine.

The intimate Chef’s Table setting allows diners to watch each course come together while hearing the ideas, ingredients and techniques behind the menu directly from Chef Blake. Designed exclusively for this one-night event, the dinner offers a more personal and engaging expression of the Mozaic dining experience.

The Caviar Dinner is presented in partnership with Global Epicurean, Kaluga Imperial,

Uluwatu, Bali — Uluwatu has become one of Bali’s most exciting dining destinations, where no two restaurants feel quite the same. Among them is Sana, an Australian-Asian restaurant where good food, well-made drinks, and an inviting atmosphere carry effortlessly from slow breakfasts and long lunches to sunset cocktails and dinners that stretch well into the evening.

There’s nothing loud about it. No gimmicks. Just a restaurant where the food, the atmosphere, and the people around the table do the talking.

The idea of arrival sits behind Sana. Not simply reaching a destination, but settling into a meal that unfolds at its own pace. Breakfast gives way to lunch, cocktails drift into dinner, but the feeling remains the same: easy, welcoming, and worth returning to.

The menu draws inspiration from Australian and Asian cuisines without feeling tied to either. It’s ingredient-led, balanced, and approachable, allowing familiar flavours to take centre stage without unnecessary complexity.

Sana starts the day just as well as it ends it. Breakfast and brunch bring familiar favourites with a Sana point of view, from Miso Scrambled Eggs finished with spring onion relish, crispy shallots, coriander, and paratha roti, to Mushroom Toast layered with sautéed mushrooms, stracciatella, truffle oil, and crispy garlic. For something more indulgent, the Sana McMuffin stacks bacon, fried egg, barbecue sauce, American cheese, and a golden hash brown into a breakfast that’s anything but ordinary.

As the day unfolds, sharing comes naturally.

The Tuna Crudo sets the tone with sashimi-grade tuna dressed in tangerine, yuzu, ginger, pickled shallots, herb oil, and crisp rice crackers, delivering bright, clean flavours that awaken the palate. Alongside it, Sana’s Pan-Fried Focaccia layers creamy stracciatella with chilli crunch, spring onion, and nori, creating the kind of dish you’ll keep reaching for long after you’ve promised yourself “just one more piece.”

For larger plates, the Twice-Cooked Pork Belly balances five-spice pork with tamarind and turmeric caramel, lifted by pineapple coriander salsa for a sweet, tangy finish. The Korean Beef Saam invites diners to build their own wraps with sticky braised beef cheek, kimchi, pickles, lettuce cups, shiso, and perilla leaves, while the Coral Trout pairs pan-seared fish with silky dashi cream, roe, charred
leek, and chives, letting the quality of the fish speak for itself.

The Rump Roast offers another standout, bringing together New York deli-inspired flavours with béarnaise, miso, wasabi herb oil, and pickled shallots. Even the Charred Cabbage stands confidently on its own, served with roasted sesame sauce, curry leaves, and toasted almonds to prove that simple ingredients, when treated with care, can be just as memorable as the main event.

To finish, the Pineapple Pie arrives warm with vanilla bean ice cream, butterscotch sauce, and praline, while the Coconut Panna Cotta offers something lighter, paired with watermelon mint granita, berry sherbet, and fragrant lemongrass syrup.

Behind the bar, the drinks are every bit as considered as the food. Signature cocktails such as the savoury Dirty Tora with dashi-infused gin and dabu-dabu brine, or the floral Fleur de Pisco layered with lemongrass, mango, calamansi, and lavender, sit alongside a carefully curated wine list that’s just as suited to a quick aperitif as it is to an evening that unfolds at its own pace.

The setting is just as inviting. Warm timber, natural textures, and soft lighting create a space that’s polished without ever feeling formal. The restaurant unfolds across a number of distinct spaces, from the lively bar and intimate wine lounge to the relaxed pool area and welcoming dining room, each offering its own way to settle in. By day, it’s an easy place to linger over breakfast or lunch. As the afternoon fades, the atmosphere shifts naturally into sunset drinks, dinner, and evenings that feel lively without ever becoming overwhelming.

Uluwatu has no shortage of places to eat. What makes Sana stand out isn’t a single signature dish or a spectacular view. It’s how naturally everything comes together. Honest food. Great drinks. Genuine hospitality. An atmosphere that invites you to stay a little longer than you planned. The best way to understand Sana is to experience it for yourself. Pull up a chair and the rest wil follow.

Bali, 27 August 2026. READY TO BE SEEN N.1 is the first of a nine-exhibition series presenting artists and practices new to the public eye. The program showcases artists living in Indonesia, chosen for their aesthetic significance and commitment. Under this format, Biasa Art provides an unrestricted platform aiming to offer new artists the opportunity to present their work at accessible prices to a mixed audience, encouraging those who connect with any of the pieces to take their first step into collecting or commissioning work.

READY TO BE SEEN N.1 will be running at BIASA Art Ubud from 1 September to 15 November 2026.

JASMINE ANSORI (b. 1997) Institute of Technology, Bandung (ITB), Fine Arts.

Jasmine Ansori is a multidisciplinary artist working across fine art, graphic design, and digital media. Her practice develops through research and exploration, and driven by an interest in experimenting across multiple media. Her work explores visuals that trigger emotion and evoke a sense of liminality.

Her current body of work marks a return to drawing through charcoal landscapes in which natural forms surface, recede and reappear. For this exhibition, the works are presented in a simplified, repeated format exposing expert gestures in the use of charcoal powder. Her drawings reveal a unique, personal depth while remaining relatable to a wide audience.

“I explore mark-making through an inverted process. Instead of adding lines to the surface, I erase existing marks and allow the emerging light to guide the drawings toward their final forms. Each act of erasure becomes an act of remembering: a search for where light emerges from darkness. The process retains a sense of secrecy between its beginning and end, holding the possibilities within the liminal landscapes of the mind.

Natural landscapes offer me another way of seeing: a space between the eye and the mind where feelings can remain after my physical presence has moved away. Through drawing, I consider the transformations occurring within a landscape and the discoveries made possible through sustained acts of looking.

Through this series, I invite viewers to experience mark-making as an exploration of memory and impermanence. By observing the details of a landscape, they may begin to form their own inner landscapes.”

The artist lives and works in Ubud, Bali.

JOSEPHINE KINGSLEY (b. 2000) Nanyang Academy of Fine Arts, Singapore .

Josephine Kingsley is a self-taught artist whose practice has developed through independent exploration and experimentation. Working primarily in painting and mixed media, she explores the relationship between memory, materiality and place, as well as the emotional significance of everyday objects. Through texture, imperfection and the physical qualities of found materials, Kingsley considers how objects retain traces of personal and collective experience, and how identity and impermanence become embedded in material form.

“My practice is rooted in an intuitive negotiation between structure and softness. Working with oil pastel, acrylic, and metallic leaf, I build surfaces that hold tension rather than resolve it. Fragmentation is treated not as rupture but as a condition of intimacy, allowing multiple states to coexist without hierarchy. Repetition and subtle shifts in density become ways of listening to the material as it accumulates and resists control.

I am interested in how surfaces remember touch and how layers register time, hesitation, and decision. The work often begins with loose gestures and is slowly refined through acts of covering, erasing, and re-entering. Metallic leaf appears not as ornament but as an interruption: a reflective pause that catches light, alters how the viewer moves across the surface, and asks them to slow down and recalibrate their attention.”

The artist lives and works in Uluwatu, Bali.

Ubud, Bali – The Royal Rijsttafel at The Café Lotus Ubud

For more than four decades, The Café Lotus has served a specific version of a specific Indonesian meal beside the same lotus pond in central Ubud. It is called the rijsttafel, literally “rice table” in Dutch, a colonial-era practice in which a single meal is composed of many small dishes brought out together, so the diner can taste an entire archipelago in one sitting. Opened in 1983 as Warung Teratai by Anak Agung Arimas, wife of the late King of Ubud, the restaurant has kept the ritual alive in its own Balinese form ever since.

At the centre of the menu is the Lotus Royal Rijsttafel. Rooted in Base Genep, Bali’s foundational spice blend, the set brings eleven dishes to the table for a minimum of two guests, from Sate Lilit and Babi Kecap to Gulai Kambing and Balinese sweets, served family-style on the terrace facing the pond.

“The Rijsttafel lets you taste a lot of Indonesia at once,” says Wayan Sudiarta, General Manager. “You get sate lilit from here, gulai kambing from Sumatra, ceremonial yellow rice, coconut sweets to close. If someone is trying Indonesian food properly for the first time, this is the meal we recommend.”

After dinner, the evening moves across the pond. Six nights a week from 19:30, the temple grounds at Pura Taman Kemuda Saraswati host a different Balinese dance: Joged on Monday, Ramayana Ballet on Wednesday, Legong on Saturday, among others. Performances have been part of the experience here since 2005, and tickets for diners are IDR 100,000 net per person.

A thoughtful revitalisation in 2025 refreshed the pavilion and introduced a new lesehan dining experience, while the ironwood beams, sandstone carvings, and view across the pond stayed untouched.

Ubud, Bali — Long before Ubud became one of Asia’s most photographed destinations, a small restaurant on Jalan Raya Ubud was designed around a single view, the lotus pond of Pura Taman Kemuda Saraswati. Forty-three years later, that view is still the reason people come. Opened in 1983, The Café Lotus has become one of the town’s most enduring dining venues, not because it has kept up with the times, but because it never tried to.

Much of Ubud has been rebuilt over the past four decades. The Café Lotus continues to operate the way its founders intended, as an open-air pavilion made to sit inside the landscape rather than stand out from it. Traditional split gates lead guests past hand-carved sandstone reliefs into a dining terrace shaded by ironwood beams and tropical greenery. The design borrows more from the temple next door than from anything commercial.

“Every element of The Café Lotus was built to celebrate Ubud, not to reinvent it,” says Wayan Sudiarta, General Manager of The Café Lotus. “The usual instinct in hospitality is to renovate every few years. We chose the opposite. Our job is to keep the frame steady, so guests can still see Ubud through it.”

The lotus at the centre of the pond is more than a name. In Balinese Hindu philosophy, it stands for purity, wisdom, and growth from difficult ground. Those same qualities shaped the identity of the restaurant, including its signature purple, drawn from the Balinese word metangi, which describes growing without losing your roots.

That patient approach has aged well. Each new generation of travellers, chefs, and photographers seems to rediscover the pavilion for themselves, often arriving with a museum in mind and finding a working restaurant instead, where classic Indonesian and Balinese dishes are served against one of Ubud’s most sacred backdrops.

Every evening, the pond turns into a stage for traditional dance performances at Pura Taman Kemuda Saraswati, visible from every table in the house.

Ubud, Bali — Tucked beside the sacred lotus pond of Pura Taman Kemuda Saraswati, The Café Lotus has quietly grown from a modest local eatery into one of Ubud’s most enduring cultural dining destinations. More than four decades in, it remains a place where Balinese cuisine, traditional performance, and the unhurried spirit of old Ubud still feel genuinely at home.

The story begins in 1983, when Anak Agung Arimas, founder of The Café Lotus and wife of the King of Ubud, Tjokorda Gde Agung Suyasa, opened Warung Teratai, a small traditional restaurant and souvenir shop for travelers making their way through central Ubud. The village at that time was still largely untouched by tourism, shaped more by temple ceremonies, rice harvests, and the daily rhythm of Balinese life.

What made Warung Teratai memorable from the start was its sense of place. Sitting within the same cultural landscape as lotus ponds, carved stone gateways, and the gentle sounds of gamelan drifting through the streets, The Café Lotus was never just about the food. Guests arrived for a meal and stayed for the atmosphere, one that felt rooted in something real.

Balinese cuisine became the soul of the restaurant early on. Traditional recipes passed down through generations, local ingredients, and warm family hospitality gave it a distinct identity, while the view across the pond toward Pura Taman Kemuda Saraswati turned every meal into something a little more memorable.

By the 1990s, inspired by the lotus pond that had come to define its character, Warung Teratai had grown into The Café Lotus. The new name was less a rebranding than an acknowledgment of what the place had already become, a restaurant shaped by the beauty of its surroundings and the cultural life of the neighbourhood.

In 2005, The Café Lotus took things a step further by weaving live performance into the dining experience. With the restaurant’s stage facing the illuminated temple and lotus pond, guests could enjoy authentic Balinese cuisine while traditional dance and gamelan unfolded before them. It was an evening that did not feel staged. Food, heritage, and performance simply belonged together in that setting.

As Ubud’s profile grew on the world stage, The Café Lotus continued to evolve while holding onto what made it worth visiting in the first place. A full revitalization in 2025 brought renewed energy to the space, carefully done, with no compromise to the atmosphere, architecture, or cultural character that guests have known for decades.

“The Café Lotus has always been more than a restaurant. It carries the memory of this place, the pond, the temple, the people who have gathered here for over forty years. Our revitalization in 2025 was not about starting over. It was about making sure the next forty years feel just as true to Ubud as the first,” said I Wayan Sudiarta, the Resort Manager of Puri Saraswati Dijiwa Ubud and The Café Lotus Ubud.
