Babi Guling
Honestly, I get very exited when the talk of pork comes around. So when the other guys were talking about one of Bali's trademark dish, babi guling it caught my attention (lol). Apparently its the Bali version of 'siew yuk' and they cook it in this 'rolling' method.
Come on, even the name sounds cool. BABI GULING! BABI GULING BABI GULING!
The tour guide brought us to some tourist-y place to eat. Nice place but doesn't seem like a place where the locals normally eat.
Very nice scenery. This 'pondok' overlooks a big paddy field. (from left) Avis, Ovira and Sue Jan posing for a picture.
Here it is, Babi Guling. I really liked it although I thought I would be even more awesome if the skin was more crispy. Out of all of us, few got really crispy skin and some got less crispy ones. But the meat is good......they use some kind of santan (coconut) marinate on it so it has a very unique flavour. Must try!
I drank so many bottles of this drink called 'Sosro' in Bali. Its THE drink in Bali. You can find it everywhere! Taste like green tea.
Another shot of the sosro tea. Its refreshing, and a nice change from the usual 'milo ais' and 'limau ais' that I order at the mamak stall.

ReplyDeleteHi Stanley. Thanks for your visit and good question. That photo was of the old Turkish wall around the Old City of Jerusalem. Inside the city wall is the Wailing Wall, which today we call the Western Wall. You can see scenes of it here:

Kavita, babi guling is roast pork. The tea is nice but can be a tad sweet for the 'real' tea lovers. HAHAH, thanks loads for the compliments. I still learn new things everyday about photography =D
This all looks very delicious but I think your photography makes it even more enticing. It does make me want to go to Bali, too though.
ReplyDeleteKay, the coconut makes it taste deliciously unique. DO go to Bali if you have the chance. Its awesome!
ReplyDeletehaha.. memang professional d.. no need blush blush.. LOL!
ReplyDeleteI had babi guling before. Didn't really like it...was too salty (either that or the stall i went to add a whole LOT of salt). I think our char siew rice is so much better. XD
ReplyDeleteInteresting name! I don't eat pork so... I'll pass this. LOL
ReplyDeleteBingwui, shucks....thanks =D
ReplyDeleteChester Chin, salty?? =( Yeah doesn't sound like the one I had. But I do agree that our char siew/siew yuk rice still rocks.
Alice Teh, you don't eat pork? Wah thats a first! High cholestrol?
