Real Balinese Cuisine You Have To Try In 2018

Bali is one of the most popular tourist destinations in the world. It doesn’t matter if you are travelling through on a backpacking journey around the world, or if you are simply spending a few nights in a Bali villa, you will love your time on the beautiful island.

Food in south east Asia is incredible, and Bali is no exception. Most Balinese cuisine comes from old cultural recipes, and you should definitely try them! If you enjoy food, like trying new things in new countries, and like eating things somewhat out of the ordinary, make sure that you try the following Balinese dishes in 2018:

Babi Guling:

A very popular option which you will be able to find in many restaurants around the island, Babi Guling is a succulent mixture of meat and vegetables. Consisting of a small, spit-roast pig stuffed with a range of exotic vegetables and spices, and then slowly cooked over a fire, this dish is an absolute must try. The crispy skin is absolutely divine, and the explosion of flavours has to be tasted to be believed.

Bebek Betutu:

Translating to “slow cooked duck”, Bebek Betutu is a traditional Balinese food which you definitely should try during your visit. The duck is first cleaned with a mixture of salt and tamarind puree, which is then washed off – it is thought that doing this tenderises the meat and removes any strong flavours. It is then stuffed with eggs and cassava leaves, along with a special spice mix, and slow cooked for hours until the meat peels away from the bone.
