Two New Chefs in InterContinental Bali Resort

Setyo Widjonanto & Egidio Latoracca

The InterContinental Bali Resort is really committed to providing specialty cuisines to all its guests with the appointment of its two newest chefs—Italian chef, Egidio Latorraca and Chef Setyo Widjonanto.

Chef Latorraca has been assigned at the Kitchen of Bella Cucina while Chef Widjonanto has 20 years of experience in Japanese culinary.

Chef Latorraca has worked in Australia, Europe, and Asia and owes his knowledge and expertise to the Instituto Amerigo Vespucci. He is also a Certified Master Chef of Italian cuisine. He strongly believes in the power of good food to unite people, regardless if it is fine dining or just in the traditional market.

Chef Widjonanto is actually Indonesia but has observed and worked under Japanese fine chefs. He has devoted his culinary skills at the renowned Nobu restaurant chain, which serves modern Japanese cuisine, since 2005. He has mastered the art of making sushi, sashimi, and omakase. He is very particular and gives much attention to detail in the foods that are being served from his kitchen. He has a belief that a feast to the senses is what Japanese cuisine really is.

“The arrival of Chef Egidio and Chef Setyo marks a new era in culinary services at the Resort as we now have the most diverse Food & Beverage team ever. It makes me extremely proud that our guests can choose between several restaurants serving cuisine that traverses different cultural boundaries. Both chefs have unlimited access to our highly productive fruit and vegetable garden to source fresh ingredients grown with integrity. The garden complements our vision to promote local produce and I am sure that we will soon be seeing some very innovative dishes,” says Tom Meyer, General Manager of the InterContinental Bali Resort.

Definitely, luxury villas in Bali, as well as the private villas in Bali, will have to expect more tourists to come and stay in these accommodations to try out the cuisine of these new chefs.
