Slum It At Sarong
Sarong Restaurant,  Seminyak
www.sarongbali.com

The drum roll opens with a glam event at Sarong, the hippest restaurant on the island, with a night that will dazzle Seminyak. “Slum it at Sarong” features Vikas Swarup, of Q&A and Slumdog Millionaire fame, in conversation with the charismatic Asitha Amereskere, Sri Lankan film-maker and author. Appearing alongside Vikas is the wickedly funny and unashamedly outrageous Dany Laferriere, author of the stories behind the movie Heading South, who will share his x-rated views on island life, love and lust; writer, word-poet and prankster Tom Cho will present his sharp-witted skits and Jeet Thayil, Indian guitar-strumming performance-poet will sing gritty tunes of punchy prose.

The talented Will Meyrick, Sarong’s dishy chef, is flicking through his recipes as we speak to present you with a menu of culinary genius. So be prepeared for one of the island’s coolest events that takes the S out of Sarong and slots it snugly into Seminyak: celebrating the spoken-word ever so styllishly.

Rp 800,000 / AUD 95

Tickets may be purchased at Sarong
