Bali Eats: Eating at Rice field experience at Bebek Joni, Ubud

Ubud is a well known area in Bali for the beautiful view of rice fields and of course, the traditional Balinese fried duck. We have tried Bebek Tepi Sawah and Bebek Bengil in our previous trips to Bali before. The setting of the restaurant kinda looks familiar somehow.

Just like at Bebek Tepi Sawah, there is also a statue of Dewi Sri (re: goddess Sri) at Bebek Joni. The Balinese worship Dewi Sri as the goddess of rice and prosperity.

The view of the rice field is breath taking. When I visited Bebek Bengil before, the rice field was just harvested the day before so the sight is not as beautiful as the rice field now at Bebek Joni.

After we had enough fun in the rice field, we walked back to our designated table. Yup, if you are wondering, you will eat your food at one of the huts over there. Pretty cool, right?

Here comes our favorite Balinese deep fried duck. So crispy, so rich in flavor, so good.

We also ordered Balinese fried rice which is served with fried egg, satay and chicken. Don't forget the crackers.

Overall, I enjoyed my lunch here at Bebek Joni. This is one great alternative to the other duck restaurants in Ubud.

Bali Eats: Porky Affair at Babi Guling Ibu Oka, Ubud

Babi Guling (Suckling Pig) is one of the famous culinary of Bali. And everyone seems to rave about Ibu Oka's at Ubud. If you plan to stay in Ubud, you can include a visit to Babi Guling Ibu Oka as part of your culinary activity.

As the restaurant is very busy everyday, it seems that the roasted suckling pig has been pre-cooked so that customers do not have to wait for too long for the portion of roasted suckling pig. The dish is served together with a portion of white rice, clear soup and veggies.

The roasted suckling pig is more on the okay side. It's not bad but it did not blow me away. I'd prefer to have the famous duck over at Bebek Bengil or Bebek Tepi Sawah. Both places are also located in Ubud so you may want to give them a visit if you are visiting Ubud.

Bali Eats: A rendezvous with friends at Potato Head Beach Club, Seminyak

Bali has always been a special place for me and that makes me want to visit Bali so many times with different people. It's a land which can cater to many people's interest. Spirituality, food, nature, you name it. Bali has it all. Do take note when you saw these flowers at the side of the road, be careful not to kick them as they are put there for praying by the locals.

The memory of my last trip to Bali brought me back to the place where my high school friends and I had our reunion, Potato Head Beach Club at Seminyak. We knew that the place is gonna be so crowded so we tried to reach the place a bit earlier.

The atmosphere at Potato Head Beach Club is perfect for a reunion with friends. Added by the influence of cocktail on the beach, we talked about so many things.

So much fun, so little time.

5 Mouthwatering Culinary Treats in Bali

There are literally uncountable places to have a good nice meal in Bali. And since Bali is so popular with tourists from overseas, Bali literally has all kind of food to cater to different tastebuds of its visitors. So what are the options that we can choose when we want to embark on culinary adventure in Bali?

1. Pork Ribs

If you are pork ribs lover, you won't go hungry in Bali because there are a number of good restaurants serving yummilicious pork ribs. For instance, this is the pork ribs from Warung Wahaha.

The pork ribs served at Naughty Nuri's Warung is slightly on the smaller side but both ribs are seasoned so well, you can't help to lick the ribs bones. No kidding.

2. Crispy Fried Duck

Other than pork ribs, Bali is also famous for the crispy fried duck. Especially if you are travelling to the mountain area of Ubud. You can enjoy a delicious lunch of crispy fried duck while enjoying the view of the rice field at Bebek Tepi Sawah or Bebek Bengil. Both are located in Ubud area.

3. Cakes and patisseries

If you are a dessert person, you can also enjoy a delicious dessert in Bali. From a slice of Black Russian Pie served at Bebek Bengil in Ubud to...

...a cup of Tiramisu at Ku De Ta in Seminyak.

4. Local Balinese Rice

If you are the "Do like a local, eat like a local" kind of traveller, you must try the local Balinese rice. However, do remember to ask for the chili to be put separately at the side because the chili may be too spicy for some people (including me). I will cry if I accidentally eat too much chili inside this Balinese rice. XD

5. Tortilla

Last but not least, you can also feel a bit Mexican in Bali. Because the neighbourhood restaurant, Mojo's Flying Burritos sells all kind of Mexican food from tortilla, burritos to quesadillas. I really enjoyed the tortilla which I ate here few years back.

Bali Eats: Mojo's Flying Burritos at Seminyak

Seminyak is famous for a lot of elites restaurants and pubs like Ku De Ta and Potato Head. So, to our surprise, we found out that our dinner venue that day, Mojo's Flying Burritos actually looks like your normal neighbourhood house. There are only a few tables and seats available and the place was not crowded around 8pm. Good for us! Because we were so hungry.

Mojo's Flying Burritos is a Mexican restaurant. So we tried all their popular dishes like tacos.

And last but not least, the burritos. Sorry, did not take the picture of what's inside the burritos because everyone was busy taking a piece of it few seconds after the burritos was being cut.

Mojo's Flying Burritos is located at Jl. Petitenget Gang Prana Benoa Kuta Badung at Bali. Despite the al-fresco setting, the restaurant is quite comfortable enough for us to chat while having yummy Mexican food. And ice cold beer.

Bali Eats: Night Time at Aston Tanjong Benoa

If you have too much fun playing at Tanjong Benoa Beach, by the time you realised that it's time for dinner, your surrounding has changed to night mode. And uh oh, you do not have any food with you and you are to tired to go out again to look for one.

In times like this, thanks goodness for room service. My family decided that times like this calls for a room service. We ordered three dishes to share amongst us. The first one is the gorgonzola pizza. The pizza's appearance kinda made me ponder if a mountain of cheese has just erupted on top of it. But it was good nonetheless, if you like cheese.

Another dish that we ordered is a Club Sandwich. A classic room service menu.

For the third dish, it is actually fried rice. It's just that since the picture is taken from above, the fried rice is totally hidden under the fried egg. The fried rice tastes so so.

If you are, like me, too tired to go out from your hotel but have not had your dinner yet, you may consider ordering room service as the food served by hotel in Bali may be quite good. However, if you still have the energy to go out and wanna have some fun, you can make your way to Seminyak and try fine dining at KuDeTa or have some yummy pork ribs in Kuta at Naughty Nuri's.

Bali Eats: Pork Ribs Day at Warung Wahaha, Kuta

The taste of that BBQ pork ribs glazed in sauce is still fresh on my mind. Since the day I stepped into Warung Wahaha at Kuta. The restaurant is decorated by pig art. XD

As the weather in Bali can be so hot, we ordered a lot of iced drinks. Chocolate and strawberry juice would surely cool us down. Slurp~~~

Iced drinks at Warung Wahaha Kuta Bali Indonesia

For a starter, we ordered fried calamari. Pretty standard. I personally think fried calamari is the dish which should not go wrong. #safechoice

We also shared the pork ribs, which comes in big portion. It tastes amazingly good, up to the point that we polished everything on the plate. Including the sauce.

Bali Eats: Bebek Bengil, Ubud

Whenever you visit Ubud area in Bali, you should give Bebek Bengil a visit for a food affair.

The diner is set around the rice field, which happened to be harvested the day before. And hence, the muddy view.

Behold the famous crispy duck. The duck is kinda small I admit but it taste very crispy and yummy especially when eaten together with the chili sauce.

Don't miss out the trademark dessert from Bebek Bengil, the Black Russian Pie. The pie is mixed with vodka, kahlua and topped with chocolate. Ultimate yum!

Do take a walk behind the restaurant to enjoy a nice view of the rice paddy field.

Bali Eats: Duck Fest at Bebek Tepi Sawah, Ubud

Some people come for the rice field view. Others come for the Balinese arts. While others come to seek tranquility and peace for their honeymoon or meditation trip. But my family and I, we come to Ubud to....eat ducks. And Bebek Tepi Sawah is one of the restaurants where you can eat yummy duck dish.

Gyahh! What is that thing? Are we not welcomed here? Hehe no worry, it's the Balinese version of scarecrow. After all, rice field is the trademark thing in Ubud.

By dining at Bebek Tepi Sawah, you can experience eating surrounded by rice field. Too bad our timing was not very great, the rice field was just harvested the day before. And hence, the not-so-pretty view. U_U.

Okay, enough about the rice field, we wanted to eat the real food now. But, the chili must come first. Not one, not two, but three type of chili. All can make you turn into Drogon and breath fire. #watchtoomanyGoTagain

And here comes the main star of the restaurant, the duck! The duck is burned to crispy texture and it's just so yummy to eat the duck together with the rice, the veggies and the chili. You are warned about the chili.

Bebek Tepi Sawah is highly recommended if you decide to visit Ubud in Bali. Yum! If you want to compare with the other famous duck restaurant, do check Bebek Bengil, Ubud.

Bali Eats: Naughty Nuri's Warung, Kuta

The best thing to do in Bali Island other than enjoying the beach and the view of the sea, of course, is to eat. Bali is a food heaven. And you don't have to know the complete address of the famous restaurants here because the taxi drivers know them very well too.

For now, let's drive to Naughty Nuri's Warung to have some BBQ-ed ribs.

Some words written in chalk. I don't think it's the menu.

Potato wedges for side dish.

The famous ribs. It's so famous so that the restaurant charges a premium for this slab of ribs. It's really seasoned well though so I guess it's not like we are paying for nothing.

Naughty Nuri's Warung is located in Kuta area. So you can try the ribs when you happen to be around Kuta. Nom nom.
