Ubud’s culinary landscape has gotten merrier with the unveiling of the highly-anticipated Syrco BASÈ. Spearheaded by Michelin-starred Dutch-Indonesian chef Syrco Bakker, it first opened its door in November 2023 and has since established itself as an ultimate destination for culinary creativity. Stepping ahead the culinary game, the restaurant promises multi-faceted gastronomic adventures that embrace transparency, nature and traceability, a triad of pivotal aspects that inform Bakker’s guiding principles.
<h2>Inside the Premises</h2>
Syrco BASÈ consists of several sections, each presenting a different experience. Before entering the premises, however, guests are greeted by a banyan fig tree. The sacred tree is surrounded by a mosaic illustrating the diamond-shaped rangrang motif as a homage to Balinese heritage.

<h2>Flavorful Creations</h2>
Syrco BASÈ presents well-crafted menus, all showcasing Chef Bakker’s impeccable savoir-faire in his field. The first culinary repertoire, dubbed “PURE LOCAL”, is an eight-course menu that boasts a vibrant play on textures, structures, and colors. Among the highlights of the menu is Flametail, a flametail snapper tataki complemented with radish, seaweed fronds, and shoyu infused with passion fruit.
<img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-100316" src="https://backend.daman.co.id/wp-content/uploads/2024/02/SB-20.jpg" alt="" width="1620" height="1080" srcset="https://backend.daman.co.id/wp-content/uploads/2024/02/SB-20.jpg 1620w, https://backend.daman.co.id/wp-content/uploads/2024/02/SB-20-300x200.jpg 300w, https://backend.daman.co.id/wp-content/uploads/2024/02/SB-20-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https://backend.daman.co.id/wp-content/uploads/2024/02/SB-20-768x512.jpg 768w, https://backend.daman.co.id/wp-content/uploads/2024/02/SB-20-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https://backend.daman.co.id/wp-content/uploads/2024/02/SB-20-1568x1045.jpg 1568w" sizes="(max-width: 1620px) 100vw, 1620px" />
Another epicurean marvel is the “HERITAGE” menu. Comprising eight courses, it is a tapestry of Indonesia’s regional dishes that melds tradition and innovation. For one, Bali Salad is a modern reinterpretation of crunchy urap. Guests can also expect a burst of nostalgic flavor brought by the fifth course, Finally Nasi Goreng!.
Last but not least, the PLANT BASÈ is a tribute to Bali’s natural splendor. As the name suggests, the menu consists of plant-based dishes crafted using a variety of crops. Among the ingredients used are medicinal plants that have been used for centuries to improve the immune system and cure ailments.

To complement these offerings, Syrco BASÈ takes pride in an extensive list of beverages. From liquors and cocktails to non-alcoholic refreshers, there is always something to pamper the buds. For a unique drinking experience, Gado-Gado is a must-try cocktail, while chocolate lovers can enjoy Kakao.
<h2>The Chef Said…</h2>
With over ten years of experience, Syrco Bakker has become a maestro of flavors. We had an opportunity to ask the chef some questions about recommended dishes and drinks to try at home, as well as pro cooking tips.

Can you recommend two simple dish for our readers make at home? 
Nasi goreng and urab sayur salad.
What about drinks (cocktails/mocktails)? Any recommended drinks that our readers can try to make at home? 
Negroni topped off with tonic and Garden Herb Spritzer.
As a professional chef, can you share a pro tip or two when it comes to cooking (for instance, some cooking tricks or tips when selecting ingredients)? 
Make sure your ingredients are well selected and of the right quality. The best to do that is get your products at the specialists like fishers, butchers or farmers. Organize your preparations very well so you make sure everything will be ready at the same time. Do NOT forget to taste! The taste is of course and always the most important.

Last but not least, can you tell us three Asian countries with the best food? 
INDONESIA! So diverse on traditions, bold flavors and preparations. JAPAN, mastering things to the perfection—from product to preparations. THAILAND, where everything is going into extremes—from spiciness, aromatic flavors to fishiness. Very interesting for a chef.
