Meals
As a volunteer in Bali, you’ll have the chance to experience the island’s rich and flavorful food while staying at the volunteer accomodation. Meals are primarily inspired by traditional Balinese-style cuisine, which focuses on light, plant based ingredients and locally sourced produce.
Typical daily meals include staples such as rice, fresh vegetables, tempeh and tofu, along with popular Indonesian favorites like:
- Nasi Goreng - Fried rice with vegetables and spices
- M-ie Goreng - Stir-fried noodles with vegetables
- Gado-Gado - A hearty mix of vegetables topped with creamy peanut (satay) sauce
To add some variety, the meals follow a monthly rotating schedule usually with western-style meals served twice a week. For breakfast, volunteers can expect options like pancakes, toast, cereal, eggs, fresh fruit, and traditional Balinese cakes. Coffee, and tea are available throughout the day, as well as purified drinking water, as tap water is not suitable for drinking. Bottled water is also easy to purchase and inexpensive throughout Bali.
Meals are provided three times a day on weekdays, and breakfast and dinner on weekends. If you feel like exploring the local culinary scene, there are plenty of restaurants within walking distance that offer affordable and delicious options.
If you have any dietary requirements, including vegan, vegetarian, lactose and gluten intolerance, please let us know ahead of time so that we can make appropriate arrangements for you. However, it’s essential to remain flexible as your meals may not be your typical eating habits at home.
