Bali Cooking Class, Bali Traditional Food
Bali has many kind of traditional food which are tastefully spicy
as they are remarkably varied. Balinese still keep their traditional
food especially in Balinese temple ceremony, Balinese birthday otonan,
Balinese wedding, or when hosting special guest. I will list some of
popular Balinese Traditional Food.
1. Babi Guling (Suckling Pig)
Suckling pis if very famous in Bali, almost every Balinese favorite. Suckling pis is full body roasted with variety of spices. Usually prepared for temple ceremony, Galungan Day, or Balinese Ceremony. However Balinese often keep pigs behind the house, feeding on food scraps, for that important time when they will be killed and eaten. If you think Suckling Pig in Bali is exclusively Balinese traditional food that can only be found in Bali, you are totally wrong, because I found a list that Balinese suckling pig is already International Food (Esquire October 2007 edition, page 72) and one of my favorite Suckling Pig warung in Ubud called Bu OKA list on it.
2. Ayam Betutu
Ayam betutu is chicken with Balinese spice mixture, the spices consist of coconut oil, turmeric, ginger, nutmeg, onion, garlic, cassava or salam leaves, a chilies. All the spices are mixed and put with the chicken. Ayam betutu is also served in Balinese ceremonies such as otonan, odalan, or wedding ceremonies. Ayam betutu served with side dishes for example crispy-fried peanuts and plecing kankung ( water spinach with hot chili sauce). First Ayam betutu is very popular in Gilimanuk ( a lot of restaurant served ayam betutu ) but now on Ayam betutu could find in everywhere.
