Balinese food makes me excited each time we return to Indonesia’s most popular vacation location. We all get excited about subtle tastes and time consuming spices which result in mouthwatering food, which we simply can not get enough of.
While other Asian restaurants can provide a similar choice of dishes, lots of meals in Bali possess a unique twist with tantalizing tastes. These are the ten best foods that make this Dewata Island more attractive:
1. Pisang Goreng
Let us begin with dessert since nothing is sweeter than my all-time favorite — grilled pineapple. Bali has so many different bananas in the little, sweet varieties into the big ones, which seem like a weapon. The various types create fried bananas a deal every moment. Served with honey or palm sugar, a small bit of flaked coconut, almond ice cream, or just plain out of the roadside stalls, nothing else is far better than Pisang Goreng.
2. Mie Goreng
A traditional black base of fried noodles can be served with veggies and a selection of chicken, pork, or shrimp. Occasionally it is added with a boiled egg on top, sweet chicken sticks, prawn crackers, and celery. Oh, also remember the pickled vegetables—Josh’s favorite.
3. Nasi Goreng
They eat it for breakfast, dinner, and lunch. Rice is grown around Bali. Therefore there is no lack of grain throughout the year. We do not think we have ever had a poor Nasi Goreng at Bali — each chef knows how to do it justice, even in the 5-star hotels and the roadside stalls. So easy yet so yummy.
4. Sate
Contrary to its Malaysian counterpart, the Indonesian sate isn’t satay. Mashed poultry is mixed with a range of spices, melded on a rod (generally lemongrass), and barbecued.
5. Babi Guling
Bali’s most famous dish — that the suckling pig. When purchasing this, Beware is a nose-to-tail dining table, which means you may obtain an obscure object of pork on your own plate. Enjoy!

6. Nasi Campur
A local favorite, Nasi Campur signifies “mixed rice” and generally is made up of small pieces of fish, vegetables or beef with a mound of cooked rice. There is not anyone “correct” mix of tastes, so it is seldom the same. That’s what makes it fun — you never know just what you’re likely to get. Consider it as an undercover antipasto.
7. Bebek Betutu
Bebek Betutu or smoked duck is most likely one of the very distinctive dishes in Bali you cannot avoid. The duck is rubbed and filled with a mixture of spices, wrapped within an areca palm foliage or betel nut berry, and smoked together using all the embers of rice husks. Most restaurants require a single day’s notice because cooking requires approximately 12 hours.
8. Mini Rijsttafel
Rijsttafel is a Dutch word that means “rice table,” a title stuck since colonial times. It is usually served all at the same time. It provides a mixed selection of Indonesian and Balinese delicacies like yellow nasi tumpeng, Bebek Betutu, prawns, sayur urap (mixed Bali veggies), tempe, tofu, potato croquettes, chicken with sambal.
9. Spring Rolls
Who does not enjoy crispy spring rolls? Full of minced chicken and mixed vegetables filing, also served with a sweet chilli sauce or a peanut sauce.
10. Gado-Gado
“Mix-mix” is just one of Indonesia’s best selling dishes. Basically it’s a vegetable salad wrapped in a timeless skillet. As it’s a cold salad, I think that it would taste amazing warm also. Its base is boiled beans, spinach, corn, rice, egg, and bean sprouts combined with lemon, tofu, and tempe.
It is possible to try out these Balinese foods nearly everywhere, from funding to upscale restaurants, from beachfront assistance sellers to luxury resorts. However, no matter what you do, be sure to tick all of them off.
I especially love that many ingredients in those dishes have been sourced locally to be as fresh as possible. Spice mixes are created by hand. There is minimal dependence on ingredients that are processed.
You could just find a new favorite flavour feeling or realize it is not your cup of java. That is the beauty of being daring with meals. However, for sure; after you have defeated all these Balinese dishes.
Vacation is more than just the food, it’s about making long-lasting memories. Discover more adventures in Bali by visiting Wonderful Indonesia.
