Get to know me better

Kadek Adi Gunawan. A culinary expert specializing in both Pan-Asian, Latin American-Europe flavors and local fine ingredients.

I bring together the rich flavors and diverse cooking techniques of Pan-Asian, Latin American, and European cuisine. With years of experience in professional kitchens, I have developed a culinary style that combines authentic traditions, refined techniques, and a deep respect for quality ingredients.

Learning from many talented chefs throughout my career, I have built extensive knowledge of flavor, authenticity, and ingredient selection. The use of spices, citrus, chilies, fresh herbs, and umami-rich ingredients has become a hallmark of my cooking, particularly in Vietnamese, Thai, Indonesian, and other Southeast Asian cuisines.

My expertise also extends to Latin American and European cuisine, where I combine traditional methods with contemporary techniques to create refined and memorable dining experiences. Working with the finest local ingredients, I craft menus that celebrate both international influences and regional produce.

Delivering exceptional food and service is always my goal. I bring passion, precision, and attention to detail to every dish, ensuring a memorable dining experience for every guest.

Kadek Guna was a professional and personable chef, bringing lovely Indonesian food and warm energy to our private dinner. His menu was well put together, beautifully presented. I received positive feedback from guests about all the courses. I would certainly recommend his services He arrived on time, was well prepped, and interacted with other villa staff and my guests professionally. It really was a very good experience

Chef Kadek exceeded all our expectations! He was so easy to plan with and wonderfully accommodating. Catering for our party of 11 was completely effortless on his end, and every meal was delicious. Everyone in our group couldn't stop raving about the food. We will 100% book him again next time we’re back in Bali!

Chef Kadek was amazing. He was able to accomodation the items I wanted and also any allergies and dietary requirements. He was very easy to work with and we worked together to create the perfect menu for my event. He was easy to communicate with and nothing was too hard for him.

Chef Kadak was brilliant! He sent the menu beforehand and catered for everyones needs. He was very punctual and just got on with it and the food was exceptional. I would highly recommend him for catering in bali, we were a group of 7 and it was flawless.

Excellent chef who prepared daily meals for my family while in Bali. He was both friendly and talented, catering to our individual preferences as adjusting based on our requests. The food was delicious! It was highlight of our week.

Chef Kadek was amazing! We had a party of 10 and he served us all with so much delicious Indonesian food within an hr of arriving! We didn't even know he was there! Very professional and would highly recommend.

I worked with Chef Kadek prior to our evening, to create a traditional balinese set menu and he was extremely responsive. Having balinese roots, I wanted to show off my favourite meals to my friends. He was complimentary but also told me what to take off the menu so not to overload on the same kind of dishes, which I appreciated. The presentation of the food was incredible and the meals themselves were exactly what I had hoped for me. Everyone was impressed. Highly recommended.

After reading multiple reviews for multiple chefs we decided to go with Kadek . We are so glad we went with him , his bot a cook his a real deal chef. We went with a medetranean inspired menu and everything was made from scratch and super tasty . We can't wait to book you again in our next visit to Bali . Cheers

Kadek went above and beyond our expectations …he cooked for us for 3 nights and catered the menu to our liking..was fantastic, carefree experience and next we come to Bali …definitely will use his service again. We had 3 different cuisines that we chose and all were over our expectations. 10 out of 10 cooking and service..

Chef Kadek was very professional, he came together with his assistant chef, and together they made an amazing 5-course dinner at our villa in Uluwatu! We had an amazing evening with delicious food, would definitely recommend his service to everyone and hopefully be able to do this again!

We had a wonderful evening with Chef Kadek Guna. The Mediterranean dishes were fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. What made the experience truly memorable was Chef Kadek’s clear passion for his craft, which came through in both the food and his warm, engaging manner. Highly recommended for anyone seeking a special dining experience!

Food and service were top notch and we did enjoyed every single item from the menu. We highly recommended.

Le repas était délicieux et nous avons adoré la formule ou nous choisissons les plats qui nous conviennent le mieux. Le chef Kadek a été particulièrement aimable et a répondu à toutes nos questions tant sur les plats que sur la culture balinaise. Il a été très compréhensif et patient, compte tenu que nous avons manqué de courant pendant 50 minutes. Ce fut une soirée mémorable, nous recommandons ses services et avons adoré l’expérience.

We were incredibly fortunate to have Chef Kadek cook for us at our villa during a friend’s 40th birthday celebration. From start to finish, he was efficient, friendly, and went above and beyond to accommodate all of our needs. The food was incredible—hands down the best we had during our entire stay in Bali. We chose the Mediterranean menu, and every dish was divine. Our stomachs were full and happy, and we’re so grateful we came across him. If you're considering a private chef experience in Bali, don’t hesitate—Chef Kadek is a standout!

Kadek was amazing from start to finish. The food was delicious and plentiful. All of our local Balinese meals after this experience paled next to Kadek's amazingly crafted local menu. It was truly an experience to remember. It went seamlessly, will be dreaming of the rendang, fragrant rice, and grilled fish for years to come.

What an amazing night. We arranged a surprise dinner to celebrate my parents' 25th wedding anniversary. Our family was incredibly impressed by the food and service from Chef Kadek and his assistant. Chef Kadek provided a customised Mediterranean style menu, taking into account dietary requirements and minor menu adjustments. Chef brought almost all of his own equipment, including a charcoal grill, to prepare some of the most delicious food. The fresh caught fish was a highlight. This was my first time hiring a private chef, but will absolutely do so again. An incredible night with family and delicious food. Thanks Chef!

Enjoyed my meal with friends! Would hire him again. It was a lot of food.

Very nice and professional. Delicious and creative meals.
