Discover the flavour fundamentals that define every dish at Spice by Blake.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Rendang<\/strong><br \/>\nA slow-cooked spicy paste from West Sumatra, dominated by galanga, ginger, garlic, shallot, chilli and coconut.

Used to add umami depth rather than sharpness.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Betutu<\/strong><br \/>\nBalinese ceremonial spice blend with turmeric, kemirin nut, galangal, lemongrass, shrimp paste and chilli. Aromatic, earthy and complex. Traditionally paired with slow-cooked poultry or meat.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Rujak<\/strong><br \/>\nIndonesian sweet-and-sour-spicy flavour profile with palm sugar, chilli, tamarind and sometimes shrimp paste. Fresh, pronounced and invigorating.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Kelapa<\/strong><br \/>\nMeans coconut in various forms (fresh, toasted, milk or oil). Adds sweetness, fat and roundness to vinaigrettes and sauces.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Base Gede<\/strong><br \/>\nClassic Balinese wet spice paste with shallot, garlic, galangal, turmeric, kemirin nut, shrimp paste and chilli. Rich, fragrant and slightly sweet.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Base Genap<\/strong><br \/>\nBalinese herbal base similar to Base Gede, but lighter and fresher. Balanced, with mild spiciness and spicy, green notes.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Rawon<\/strong><br \/>\nEast Java spice profile based on the black nut kluwek. Earthy, deep, slightly bitter and strongly umami-driven.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Babi Kecap<\/strong><br \/>\nSweet savoury pork flavour profile based on soy sauce manis, garlic, ginger and spices. Caramelly and rich.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Kluwek<\/strong><br \/>\nFermented black nut from Javanese cuisine. Provides a dark colour and a deep, earthy bitterness.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Jagung<\/strong><br \/>\nCorn-based flavour, often grilled or roasted. Sweet, nutty and slightly smoky.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Pala<\/strong><br \/>\nNutmeg. Warm, sweet-spicy aroma with woody notes. Subtly used for extra depth.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Pepesan<\/strong><br \/>\nTraditional Indonesian steaming technique where ingredients are cooked with spices in banana leaf. Delivers aromatic, spicy flavours.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Laksa<\/strong><br \/>\nSoutheast Asian coconut spice profile with lemongrass, galangal, chilli and shrimp paste. Creamy, spicy and aromatic.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Seroendeng<\/strong><br \/>\nToasted coconut mixed with spices and sometimes peanuts. Crunchy, savoury and slightly sweet.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Kapulaga<\/strong><br \/>\nCardamom. Floral, fresh spice with citrusy notes, used in desserts and hot sauces.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Kayu Manis<\/strong><br \/>\nCinnamon. Sweet, warm spice with woody aromas.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Gula Jawa<\/strong><br \/>\nJavanese palm sugar. Deep caramel flavour with a slight smoky undertone.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Lapis Legit<\/strong><br \/>\nIndonesian layered cake flavour profile with cinnamon, cloves, cardamom and nutmeg.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section><\/p><\/div>\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-34ky8-2faeb7815d6e39d7d83f84dea4d638fc\">\n.flex_column.av-34ky8-2faeb7815d6e39d7d83f84dea4d638fc{\nwidth:17.6%;\nmargin-left:3%;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div  class='flex_column av-34ky8-2faeb7815d6e39d7d83f84dea4d638fc av_one_fifth  avia-builder-el-9  el_after_av_three_fifth  avia-builder-el-last  flex_column_div'     ><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><!-- close content main div --><\/div><\/div><div id='av-layout-grid-1'  class='av-layout-grid-container av-1wqms-d6d85e88b46128eb2cdfa48d28a22816 entry-content-wrapper main_color av-flex-cells  avia-builder-el-10  el_after_av_section  avia-builder-el-last  grid-row-not-first  container_wrap fullsize'  >\n\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-1dplo-d59e0dbe6935282d4423ca6583a5d78c\">\n.flex_cell.av-1dplo-d59e0dbe6935282d4423ca6583a5d78c{\nvertical-align:top;\n}\n.responsive #top #wrap_all .flex_cell.av-1dplo-d59e0dbe6935282d4423ca6583a5d78c{\npadding:0 0 140px 0 !important;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div class='flex_cell av-1dplo-d59e0dbe6935282d4423ca6583a5d78c av-gridrow-cell av_one_full no_margin  avia-builder-el-11  avia-builder-el-no-sibling  content-align-top'  ><div class='flex_cell_inner'>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-453","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.spicebyblake.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/453","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.spicebyblake.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.spicebyblake.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.spicebyblake.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.spicebyblake.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=453"}],"version-history":[{"count":7,"href":"https:\/\/www.spicebyblake.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/453\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":483,"href":"https:\/\/www.spicebyblake.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/453\/revisions\/483"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.spicebyblake.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=453"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
