Travelling with a Mustard Allergy
Traditionally, Indonesian cuisine does not typically include mustard, relying instead on a rich array of local spices, herbs, and seasonings to achieve its unique flavours. However, in Bali, the abundance of international restaurants offers a wide variety of dishes that may incorporate mustard in their recipes.
