Bali is essentially EVERYTHING I love about California at the prices of Southeast Asia - from the lifestyle to the weather and now even the food! Here's 5 of my favorite California eats that you can find in Bali...
After talking with Chef Bagus of Samabe Resort, I finally understand what makes Indonesian - and especially Balinese - cuisine so special! In this blog post, I share everything I learned about one of my favorite Asian cuisines with you so that when you come to Bali (and trust me, you will!) you're excited to get off the beaten food path and try more than just the typical "Nasi Goreng".
All the best "non-warung" places to eat in Ubud. And for every restaurant on this list, I include my personal recommendation for what to order on the menu. Be sure to read especially what I always come to Alchemy for - I recommend it more highly that I have ever and probably will ever recommend anything!
The Sunday Farmer's Market at Samadi is one of my favorite weekly happenings in/around Canggu. Even if you don't cook here in Bali, it's definitely worth stopping by because there are tons of stalls that sell everything from fresh produce and fish to homemade kombucha, organic spices, the BEST baked goods I've eaten in Bali, and even clothes and jewelry. As cliche as it sounds, there's really something for everybody at Samadi's weekly market.
You guys voted, and so for my first weekly challenge, I had to try a new local Indonesian food dish every day for the entire week - which was no easy feat since I really don't like meat. But I did it, and actually loved almost everything I tried! So if you're curious to know where to get DIRT CHEAP delicious local food in/around Canggu, you're going to want to read this.
