Starbucks at Bali's Ngurah Rai Airport | Barong Dance, Gammelon, and Island Cuisine Painted on a Cup - A Traveler's Souvenir Carrying the Soul of Bali

Walking around the corner of Bali's Ngurah Rai International Airport, I stumbled upon a moment that made me stop in my tracks: a souvenir cup imbued with Balinese culture sat on the Starbucks counter.

The cup features the godlike face of the Barong, his mouth open and teeth bared, awe-inspiring yet fearless. Dancers, gamelan instruments, and classic island dishes like Nasi Campur and Ayam Betutu all grace the design. More than just a coffee container, it's like a miniature map, encapsulating Bali's soul, cuisine, mythology, and dance.
