Local Cuisine and Produce From Club Med Bintan

Indonesian Seabass Ceviche

One nice thing about the food at Club Med is not just the wide variety of cuisines available, but also the local ingredients that they used, including nearby produce and seafood (not to mention the effort that they took to plate everything, despite this being mass-produced for tourists!). That seabass above was an Indonesian recipe that featured local ginger, lemongrass, kaffir lime, and coconut oil.

There was a variety of French food available too; options included everything from foie gras to duck confit. Now, I could nitpick about things like the quality of the beef bordelaise and the lack of charcuterie, but hey, this was a buffet after all, complete with an open bar to wash it all down. No, it's not a foodie destination, but for an all-inclusive resort, it was better than I was expecting.
