Eat:
Balinese food is very spicy and peppery. Often it's served cold.
Grated coconut meat (nyuh) is an essential ingredient in their
cooking. Thick rich coconut cream, made by squeezing grated coconut
over and over, is used in many native dishes; it doesn't keep
so must be used the same day. Sate is often kneaded into the cream.
Frying is done in coconut oil. Markets in most villages take place
every 3 days; a cornucopia of grains, beans, greens, and fruit.
Tropical fruits include: zirzak, sa/ak (best from Rendang), nangka,
jeruk (pink are better), durian (stinking aphrodisiacal soul food),
b/imbing (starfruit), breadfruit, mangosteens, passion fruits
(from Kintamanil, white mangoes (melt in your mouth). Also exotic
vegetables like acacia leaves Itwil, greens (kangkung), edible
ferns (paku), etc. Most of Indonesia is Muslim but on Bali pigs
are bred and cooked magnificently. Try Bali's famous delicacy
babi gu/ing, stuffed suckling pig roasted on a spit and stuffed
with red chili, garlic, tumeric, jahe, ginger, aromatic leaves,
pepper-corn. The, flesh is juicy and tender, the skin is brittle
and covered with a golden brown glaze. Sweet potatoes (ubi) with
coconut, palm sugar and ketchup, are found at every warung, Rp15-25.
Balinese also eat worms, frogs, flying foxes, snakes, porcupines,
anteaters, lizards, wild boars, centipedes, grubs, birds (bones
and all), and ricefield eels which look like baby snakes. A Balinese
kid will take you out dragonfly catching using a long thin pole
with a sticky end. Take the wings off, fry the bodies in coconut
oil until crisp and eat with spices and vegetables. Also try some
very mellow homemade native brews: arak (distilled rice brandy),
tuak (sweet palm beer), and brem (rice wine).
