Whether it’s a dinner on the beach in Bali or a seafood platter by the mountains, the local Balinese coffee or a burrito snack for one of your hikes, there is serious competition when it comes to finding the best restaurants in Bali. Hence, take our advice and try it all!
Overindulging in local cuisine is one of the best parts of travelling to a new place, and most people love Bali’s cuisine. Rice is the main component of Balinese cuisine and is typically eaten with practically every meal. This is typically served with meat, fish, or vegetables (for those following the Hola Diet), all of which are seasoned with different sauces and spices. Here are some Bali dishes by name that you must try if you want to take in the Bali trip:
Satay comes in all grilled chicken, beef or pork options depending on the preference and ethnicity. The meat is skewed on sticks and then grilled to the juiciest perfection. You will get to enjoy it with a peanut sauce making it an ideal quick snack to fuel up for your upcoming adventures.
Next, on our famous Bali picks is Betutu, which is a mix of chicken and duck. The whole bird is stuffed with herbs and spices (know when you try) and roasted to perfection. This meal comes with several sidelines, and one cannot get over the spicy smoky flavour Betutu delivers.
Fried rice, yes, the Balinese Fried rice is a global hit. It is one dish you simply must have while visiting Bali. Fried rice, or Nasi Goreng, is a simple yet filling dish. This is typically served with a fried egg on top and prepared with either meat or vegetables. However, if you prefer the noodle version, Mie Goreng is another variation of Nasi Goreng served in noodles and with a fried egg too.
Next on our list is the delicious coconut delicacy, boasting flavours of chicken, garlic and several vegetables all complimenting each other to perfection. An exciting variation of this dish is Red Lawar where the blood of chicken is also added for enhanced flavour but better not to try if you are at risk of puking on the table.
Enough of salt and spice, let’s about sweet and nice! Pisang Goreng is a treat for people who have a sweet taste! These fried bananas are available in a variety of sizes and forms, ranging from Bali’s own tiny, sweet sort to larger ones. They’re all delightfully fried, regardless of size, and come with ice cream, honey, coconut, or condensed milk on the side.
