Foodie in Bali


Have you ever heard or read the word of BALI?? Bali is sometimes mistakenly known as a country itself. This is wrong. Bali is one of the provinces in the country of Indonesia. Bali is famously known as a piece of paradise on earth, and I do agree with the statement. And I feel blessed for having another opportunity of coming back there last December. 
First time, in 2007, I went to Bali with the helps of travel agent. We only travelled to tourists' spots which are famous and full of crowds. I enjoyed it but there was no enough satisfaction.
Arriving in Bali that morning was so exciting because we have made a list of food to try which I post here and I hope I could give some recommendations if you plan to visit Bali, Indonesia.





Nasi Babi Guling Pak Dobiel

This place is located in Nusa Dua and it's a small warung. Nevertheless, don't judge a book from its cover because the place is fully crowded. Luckily we got our seats that day so there was no need to wait like other people. You will be served a plate of rice, a small portion of vegetables and shredded coconut which have been cooked, some pork meat (cooked and fried), pork satay and a bowl of pork soup. The taste is really nice because of the variant herbs. 

Location : Jl. Srikandi No.9, Nusa Dua, Kabupaten Badung, Bali, Indonesia

Nasi Ayam Ibu Oki

This meal is about chicken, so for some of you who eat Halal food, this place is totally recommended. You will be asked whether you want your meal to be served spicy or not. It doesn't take a long time to wait, you will be served a plate of rice with lots of condiments, like satay lilit (fish satay), fried peanuts, some vegetables, a price of fried chicken and ikan pepes (steamed herb fish) at once. The taste is incredibly delicious. Unable to move on, I even went here twice. I know right! 

Location : Jl. Siligita (Depan Santika Hotel), Nusa Dua, Bali, Indonesia

Sate Babi Bawah Pohon Legian

This place is really unique because the location is underneath the big trees at the corner of the street in Legian. But don't get it wrong, this place is suprisingly very popular. It can be seen from how really crowded the warung takes place. I started by ordering the sate with lontong (and pork satay is finally now complete). If you don't like lontong, you can order a plate of rice. I guarantee you will love the taste because I do! 

Location : Jl. Patih Jelantik No. 57, Kuta, Kabupaten Badung, Bali 80361, Indonesia

Babi Guling Pak Malen

Most tourists will come here to eat this famous meal. Located at the side of Sunset Road, you will notice that there are many parked cars and lots of people queuing for this meal. Eating here, you will be served a plate of rice, a bowl of pork soup and a plate of condiments such as kinds of pork meat (cooked or fried), vegetables, pork satay and pork chips. I have been here twice (I find it hard to move on!!) The taste is not dissapointing!

Bebek Tepi Sawah Ubud

This is one of the famous meal in Bali. I believe it is now the trademark of Bali. If you haven't tried this, you're sure you've been to Bali? Located in Ubud, the restaurant is surrounded with rice fields and nature view. No matter how bad the weather is, you will see the crowds. The famous meal in the restaurant is Crispy Duck with three types of chili. They look simple but don't bet with the taste. Yummy to the bone.

Location : Jl. Raya Goa Gajah, Br Teges, Peliatan, Ubud 80571 Bali - Indonesia

You won't see the menu on the paper, but you just choose your condiments for your rice inside the serving glass. Choose that and that and that (as if you're using your touch-screen phone). Don't forget to add the super spicy chili (add a little if you can't stand the spicyness). Then voila! You will be given a piece of paper which shows your meal's price. The taste? Damn delicious!!

Location : Jl.Raya Kuta, Gg.Kubu, No.120C, Benoa, Badung, Kuta Sel., Bali, Indonesia

Actually there are more delicious food in Bali to try but our time is limited. So, these are some information of the meal I had when I was in Bali. I will definitely come back to Bali to explore more. I hope you enjoy reading this because I find it hard to move on from the Indonesian food even though I am back in Singapore. Thank you for reading this. See you next time.
