Health is wealth we often say. At the beginning of a new year and a new chapter of our Gili Story, Gili Goes Healthy with Executive Chef Harinath (Hari) Govindaraj. With a vision for guests to have a healthy diet fueled by a light and fresh meal, Chef Hari introduces the “Hari’s Super Foods” menu at Overwater Bar during lunch time.

Inspired by the popular Buddha Bowl for vegetarians and the growing interest in plant based diet, Chef Hari aims to provide healthier and lighter meal options for our guests. Hari’s Super Foods menu offer a selection of 5 different healthy bowls: Exotic, Local, Spicy & Spices, Roasted Veggies, and Greens.

Each bowl presents few ingredients from our organic garden, a variation of breads, grains, nuts, seeds and unique dressing to compliment the dish, along with an option to top the dish with a protein item such as poached eggs, seared tuna belly, and seared beef fillet for meat lovers.

Epicureans who are adventurous with food may consider the existing Gili Vegan Experience. A refreshing bespoke experience in our organic garden, and an opportunity to get up close and personal with Chef Hari to learn more about the plant based diet and its endless possibilities using different ingredients.

The vegan experience is not only interactive dining with the chef, it also allows you to be exposed to different combination of ingredients you may not have discovered before as well as to understand that the vegan experience is not just for vegans and vegetarians but for the meat lovers too.
