First of all, I would like to introduce you to a famous drink in Bali, the Teh Botol (bottled tea). It's actually a popular Indonesian drink of sweetened jasmine tea which is also sold worldwide. You can easily get it in most of the places selling beverages.
Secondly, I would like to recommend Babi Guling at Ibu Oka, Ubud. It's a suckling pig serves with rice, crispy pork cracklings and spices. It costs around Rp 20,000 per plate.
The next "must try" would be Bebek Bengil (Dirty Duck Diner). It was first opened in 1990 and has quite a good rating from the customers. We ordered the Bebek Bengil (Crispy duck) of course. It's served with Indonesian spices, sauced potatoes and side salad or rice with Balinese vegetables. Besides, we also ordered Gado-Gado which is actually steamed mixed vegetables with tofu, egg and peanut sauce. The whole meal costs us around Rp 200,000 which also include a soup and drinks.
After we visited the Mount Batur in Kintamani, we went to a strawberry farm. Due to a cooling temperature, there are quite a lot of strawberry plantations. So we tasted their strawberry juice and strawberry pancake with ice cream.
Lastly, the Soto Ayam (Indonesian Chicken Soup With Noodles and Aromatics) and Ayam Betutu (Balinese Spicy Braised Chicken) are also worth mentioning here. Ayam Betutu is made of chicken with spices inside consisting of turmeric, ginger, nutmeg, galangal, onion, garlic, cassava or salam leaves and chilies.
By the way for those who are from western countries and miss your home food while you are in Bali, I would recommend some nice and cheap western foods at Bamboo Cafe at Poppies Lane 1. I did try it out on my last day in Bali.
So this ends my post on Bali Island.
