BEAUTIFUL WOODEN SCULPTURES OF BALI

20 February 2017/in Culture, Dajuma, News, People

Graduated from the Carver’s School of Tabanan, Agus is one of our local suppliers who takes care of all our decorative carvings in the purest Balinese tradition. After having completed the carving of 145 meters above the doors and windows of our Bendega villas last May (see picture below), he is used to come every friday at Dajuma to show to our guests his know-how by carving in front of them. Here on the picture he shows one of his new creation, a mythic bird which will decorate one of our rooms or maybe will be bought by one of our guests. Agus is also the brother of our lovely Padmi, waiter in our restaurants. We love what you are doing Agus!

CHOCOLATE FACTORY CLOSE TO DAJUMA

13 February 2017/in Bali, Jembrana, News, People

Indonesia is the world’s third largest producer of cocoa. However, despite this privileged position, it is only recently that an excellent chocolate is produced locally. Among the producing regions, that of Jembrana in Bali is probably the most promising. A few steps from Dajuma, in the small village of Gumbrih, Putu after being trained in Macassar, decided to embark on a new chocolate factory. Working cooperatively with the village producers of cocoa beans, it produces a magnificent chocolate that delights the taste buds of our customers.
A local initiative we are happy and proud to help in our hotel supplies for our chocolate fondants and our little squares served with coffee, among others. In the picture Putu let us know how this machine mixes for 2 days cocoa and cocoa butter to make the most creamy chocolates. Good luck Putu!

DAJUMA WELCOMES WAITERIO

6 February 2017/in Dajuma, News, Restaurant

With the growth of our 3 restaurants, it became necessary to choose a digital and friendly solution to take the orders with the objective to accelerate both the ordering and the cooking processes, diminish the waiting time for our guests and facilitate the work of our staff. This has been done last month with the Waiterio application: with a few clicks on a tablet, our waiters are now able to take an order in a few seconds which is then directly transmitted to the kitchen. Same increase of speed for the issuance of the invoice. On the picture our staff during the training session. Good luck guys!

My name is Aristide and I am only 6 months old.
My father loves surfing the Medewi wave near Dajuma but he is also taking good care of me.

FISHERMEN’ HOUSE PROTECTION

16 January 2017/in Dajuma, News, Social Responsibility, West Bali

Next door Dajuma land, directly on the beach, is the Pekutatan fishermen’ house where fishermen are used to meet and exchange their fishing every day. In front of the house a wall made from river stones was supposed to protect it from the sea, especially from full moon tides. The condition of the wall being more and more deteriorated, we decided to help the fishermen community by financing its complete renovation: a double protection by 2 walls especially shaped to stop the sea is currently under construction and should be completed shortly. A good way to start the new year!
