Where Balinese people actually eat
Understand this place before you visit
Bali's capital and its real city: markets, temples, university streets and family kitchens that most visitors drive straight past.
Balinese, Javanese, Madurese and Chinese-Indonesian families whose overlapping food cultures make the city what it is.
Urban Balinese life — banjar obligations kept up between office hours, plus museums and the arts centre.
Babi guling done properly, nasi jinggo, tipat cantok, sate lilit, and night stalls that open at nine.
Flat, hot and dense; the Badung river and the old market district at its centre.
Denpasar, Bali
Four family kitchens in one evening with Sari — babi guling done properly, nasi jinggo, tipat cantok, and a sate stall that opens at nine.
