Have you ever wanted to try the authentic Balinese food ? To try the spicy and hot vegetables or chicken sate? Eating at restaurants can be representative for trying the Bali food, but it’s not really authentic Bali food. Chances are, the food has been adjusted, meaning, it is not as spicy or as hot as the real Bali food. So, what can you do? You can try food at the food stalls or wrung available locally in Bali. One that I can recommend is a food stall located just north of Ubud. (So, if you are staying in bud, there is no reason not to try the Bali local food.) Located at Kedewatan village, the Warung Nasi Ayam (Rice with Chicken Stall) belongs to Ibu Mangku, this place is popular for the locals. As the name implies, the food available here is steamed Bali rice and many varieties of chicken recipes. When you order the Nasi Ayam, you will be served with a plate of rice with sliced chickens, fried chickens with hot spicy sauce known as sambal , fried nuts and long beans. For Bal...

But there is another special ingredient that is going to blow your mind; it is raw pig blood. Lawar is a special food for Balinese. People make lawar on special occasion like holy day or temple festival. (There is a Holy Day coming next week called Galungan, I will write about it in a few days). It can also be found at wedding feast, or tooth filling ceremony. You can buy lawar at food stall all over Bali, especially those selling suckling pig. Is it really raw blood? Before we go on to that discussion, let see what are the ingredients needed to make lawar. First, we need a complete combination of spices (called Basa genep ). The Basa Genep consists of onion, garlic, pepper, turmeric, chili, salt, ketumbar (I'll have to check the English translation later), fried onion, shrimp paste, and ginge...
