Get to know me better

I cook with passion, create with heart, and invite you to experience a culinary journey through every dish I serve.

I am a professional chef with 16 years of experience in the culinary world, specializing in Indonesian cuisine. I studied at the School of Hospitality in Bandung and later worked at the Hilton Hotel Bandung as a Junior Sous Chef focused on Indonesian cuisine for three years, building a strong foundation in both traditional and modern techniques.

After that, I decided to broaden my skills by studying international cuisines, including Thai and Italian. This experience allowed me to expand my culinary perspective, refine my techniques, and bring a more diverse and creative approach to my cooking.

Amalya was amazing! Our son is coeliac so we were worried about eating out. Amalya modified all of the recipes to use gluten free products and it was not only the fact she was so accommodating and understanding, the food was amazing our entire trip and our whole family ate gluten free without compromising variety and flavour! She even made up snack boxes on multiple days for us to take out with us to keep our son fed (though the whole family enjoyed a lot of the treats!!) We highly recommend Amalya and will truly miss her cooking for us x

We had an amazing experience with Chef Amalya. She prepared a delicious Balinese feast for us at our villa, catering perfectly to my dietary requirements. Communication leading up to the dinner was excellent and we loved that she took the time to explain each dish and the Balinese flavours behind them. Everything was fresh, authentic and absolutely delicious. She even cleaned everything up afterwards! A wonderful experience and a real highlight of our Bali trip. Highly recommend Chef Amalya! ????❤️

We were very happy with the services provided by our chef Amalya. Very clear communication upfront through Take a Chef and later through whatsapp. Very professional. All was handled very well and the dishes delicious. We got a little surpise at the table with the dry ice :-). More than enough food (had some left-overds for the next day). I recommend.

Chef Amalya came to our amazing Villa in Ubud during our trip to Bali as part of my husband’s 40th birthday celebrations for a sunset dinner. From the minute she and her assistant first arrived until they left, the whole experience was incredible! We had delicious Balinese courses, beautifully presented and amazing service from them both. The meal was one of the main highlights of our holiday! Totally unforgettable! I would highly recommend chef Amalya!

Chef Amalya made us (a group of 10) a wonderful dinner. All the dishes were delicious, we especially love the prawn and the pancake. She prepared some kid friendly food for my little daughter. Chef Amalya and her assistance were very friendly. My little daughter enjoyed playing with them while they were preparing the meal. All of us had an enjoyable night.

Our chef and her team were incredible. Good food, good presentation of the dishes and very accommodating. Highly recommend her. We were a group of 10 and super happy after our stay thanks to her.

Fantastic meal from Chef Amalya. Tailored to exactly what we requested, which included for kids. Great food and excellent presentation! Would highly recommend.

Amalya was an amazing chef and made us feel welcome from the moment she arrived. The food was absolutely delicious—some of the best Balinese food we’ve had—and every dish was packed with flavor. If you’re looking for an authentic meal and warm hospitality, I highly recommend cooking with Amalya!

Amalya is an amazing chef and her and her team were incredible. We hired Amalya and her team to cater for my friend's 40th birthday dinner at our Bali villa and everything was perfect. The dishes were all Balinese and were presented well and abundant. Highly recommended!

We had Chef Amalya come to our villa. She was amazing. She was put under some pressure due to the small kitchen and lack of facilities and still made our night sensational. The food was next level. The flavours were bold and every single dish was cooked with care. I would highly recommend and will be requesting this service again. Thank you so much

Chef Amalya and her team were absolutely amazing. They provided traditional Indonesian breakfasts for 2 days and did not disappoint at all. Highly recommend!

Thank you Chef Amalaya, for an excellent dinner. It was a gift from my children and was a special occasion shared with friends. An experience I’ll always remember. Your fantastic food and presentation made it extra special. ????

Amalya and her partner were amazing. Had the Thai dinner menu it was a great experience trying something new. However her Italian lunch menu was phenomenal! There were no leftover after that. Her bruschetta i could eat for every meal everyday it was awesome. Highly highly recommend her !
