To our beloved BB community,

We are in a new chapter of our business and are focused full-time on pantry goods. While we miss seeing your smiling faces at pop-ups, we are thrilled to build a sustainable path forward, sharing our creations with the world beyond our driveway. Help keep our love letter to Bali alive by enjoying our Sambal Goreng!

Thank you for these three years of kindness and love.

Here's to many more.

Matur suksma,
Celene & Tara

SELAMAT DATANG!

From a driveway pop-up to the LA Times 101 Best Restaurants, Bungkus Bagus has been driven by a longing to share the food of our childhood overseas. For us, there’s a singular joy in savoring warm rice, salty fish and a spoonful of sambal on the steps of our dad’s carving shop in Ubud. We’ve dreamt of a bridge between our two worlds, a way to bottle that bliss. Through our pop-ups and products, we've made that vision a reality. We hope you enjoy our love letter to Bali, to the people and place that shaped us.

What's With the Name?

Bungkus (boong-koos) = "wrap/package/to-go"
Bagus (bah-goose) = "good"

We make delicious Indonesian goodies that come in beautiful packages.
