Pop-Up Info & Ordering
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.
Terima kasih dan ayo makan!
