Eating Out in Bali: In Search of Delectable Delights!
For a local living in Bali, Indonesia or for a traveller temporarily visiting the area, the gastronomic delights of the city have always been in abundance. Not only is there an amazing variety of food but also a multitude of various eateries catering to different tastes and different budgets. Whether you nibble on a meal ordered at a restaurant or a café or even bought at a food stall by the roadside, whatever you devour has its own authentic flavour.
A type of food which is authentically Balinese is the roast suckling pig, often served in hefty chunks and accompanied by rice, vegetables and a delicious gravy. While some restaurants do serve this delicacy, if you make your way towards Ubud, the Ibu Oka Warung café is sure to satiate your curiosity. Another delicious option is Padang food whose origin can be traced to Sumatra. For the more adventurous foodie, Padang food will treat you to deep-fried baby eels, coconut beef and sambal prawns and leave you asking for more. The city’s most well known dish, the smoked duck, an entire meal in itself, can also be found easily in Bali. As you traverse the Balinese streets, stop for a few minutes to savour smoked duck kebabs, Padang food and roast suckling pig for a truly authentic Balinese meal.
For those who feel less adventurous and yearn for the comfort of familiar food, Balinese cuisine has also evolved to incorporating western culinary styles as well. Thus, at a good café, one would be able to taste delicious meals such as Balinese chicken salad, chicken noodle broth, Thai beef coconut salad, barbecued spare ribs, and even pork chops.
Therefore, eating out in Bali is definitely not a hassle for one can always search for comfort food or be adventurous and try authentic Balinese cuisine. Whether you are residing at an award winning hotel renowned for their world class banquets or a resort belonging to a luxury hotel group with a reputation for delectable and delightful meals such as COMO hotels and resorts, opting to eat out in Bali would add an additional dimension to your vacation.
