Bali Taste Test: The Fizzy Tamarind Surprise We Didn't Expect!

Loading video player...

The little kids and I trying a local drink in Bali 😅 Fizzy, with tamarind and turmeric. Definitely earthy in flavour. Very… interesting. Not sure we will be ordering that one again anytime soon, but honestly, that is half the fun of living here. Trying new flavours, being curious, and occasionally discovering things that are not quite your vibe. Adventure in a can 🤣 🤍

<p>If there's one guarantee when traveling with kids in Bali, it’s that every day brings a new surprise — especially when it comes to food and drink! On a recent flavor adventure, we stumbled across a fizzy drink that caught us off guard: a tamarind and turmeric soda. Yes, you read that right — <strong>tamarind + turmeric</strong>, with bubbles! 🇮🇩🥤</p> <p>Curious (and maybe a little brave), the kids and I cracked open a can. The verdict? <em>Earthy, bold, and definitely unforgettable.</em> The tamarind brought a sour tang, while the turmeric added a warm, almost savory undertone. Add fizz, and you’ve got an experience that’s part science experiment, part health kick, and all Bali.</p> <p>Let’s just say... it wasn’t exactly our new go-to refreshment, but the laughter and wide-eyed reactions were absolutely worth it. Moments like these are what make family travel so memorable — when curiosity leads to unexpected discoveries (hey, even if they don’t win a re-buy!).</p> <p>Trying local food and drinks in Bali is a great way to connect with the culture. From sweet coconut treats to sizzling satay, there’s a flavor for everyone — even the tiny travelers. While the fizzy tamarind turmeric may not have made our favorites list, it sure added some sparkle to our tropical day!</p> <p><strong>Tip for families:</strong> Keep an open mind and a sense of humor — taste testing in Bali is all part of the adventure. Your kids might find a new favorite… or a new story to tell!</p>
