Federico’s guidebook
Where to start
Depending on where you go, Bali can be an eye-opening cultural adventure, a party paradise or an utterly indulgent getaway packed full of luxe spas, white sand beaches and glamorous shopping sprees. But one thing’s for sure: no matter what style of Bali trip you choose, you’ve gotta try Balinese food – it’s on another level.
We’re not talking expensive eateries and Michelin-worthy restaurants here (we all know there are plenty of those) we’re talking age-old recipes that’ve been passed down through generations, and dishes stuffed full of fresh herbs, spices and a whole lotta Balinese culinary secrets. So, without further adieu, here are 7 of Bali’s best signature dishes – the Balinese food you simply must-try, including our fave warungs where you’ll find them. Selamat makan!
Bali
Restaurant
Probably Bali’s most iconic dish, babi guling (also known as suckling pig) is one nose-to-tail delicacy that you have to try. It’s usually served with rice, pork sausage, sayur urap (a vegetable salad in coconut chilli dressing), huge cuts of spice-rubbed, spit-roasted meat and the crispiest, crunchiest and most scrumptiously flavoured skin – all of which has been cooked to tender-perfection from hours upon hours of slow-roasting. YUM.
