Nasi Campur: Culture in a Bowl

If you’re looking for a dish that captures the essence of Balinese cuisine—rich in flavor, deeply rooted in culture, and vibrant with color—look no further than our Balinese Nasi Campur. Thoughtfully crafted and offered with a vegan option, this dish is both nourishing and packed with bold, local ingredients.

At our café, we serve a version of Nasi Campur that’s entirely plant-powered, with layered flavors and textures that celebrate tradition and mindful eating. It’s not just a plate—it’s a journey through Bali, one spoonful at a time.

What Is Nasi Campur?

Nasi Campur means “mixed rice” in Indonesian, and it’s a staple in homes and warungs across the island. No two plates are ever exactly the same, which makes the experience as exciting as it is satisfying. The core of the dish is rice, surrounded by small portions of protein, vegetables, sambal, and crunchy toppings—each one cooked with its own flavor profile.

Our Balinese Nasi Campur at Namaskara features organic red rice, slow-cooked components, and a perfect balance of spice, sweetness, and umami—all in one soulful bowl.

The Ingredients: Local, Honest, and Bold

Our version begins with organic red rice, a wholesome and fiber-rich base that holds everything together. It’s earthy, satisfying, and distinctly Balinese.

The plant-based mushroom seitan is cooked in a fragrant bongkot sauce—made from Balinese torch ginger flower, giving it a citrusy, aromatic depth. This is where the richness of the dish really begins to shine.

We pair it with sweet tempe, bringing that familiar caramelized texture and nutty sweetness, and mixed vegetable urap, a warm salad tossed in shredded coconut and herbs, offering freshness and crunch.

A Dish Built on Texture and Heat

For contrast and satisfaction, the dish includes a boiled egg with balado sambal, a spicy tomato-based chili that brings just the right amount of heat to round things out.

On top, you’ll find crispy potato flakes for added crunch and sambal matah, Bali’s iconic raw shallot-chili relish, which ties the whole dish together with a bright, spicy kick.

And yes—if you’re fully plant-based, you can request the vegan version, where the egg is simply omitted without sacrificing the dish’s richness or balance.

Why It’s More Than Just a Meal

What makes our Balinese Nasi Campur so special isn’t just the ingredients—it’s the intention behind them. Every element is homemade, prepared with care, and inspired by the traditional flavors passed down through generations.

This dish honors the Balinese way of eating: balanced, varied, and mindful. It’s a plate full of color, texture, and harmony—meant to be savored, not rushed.
