Kuta / Denpasar, Bali, Indonesia
6 dishes to eat in Kuta / Denpasar, Bali, what is in them, and where they belong.
Spit-roast suckling pig with turmeric, lemongrass and coriander seed — the Balinese celebration dish, served with crackling and blood sausage.
Duck packed with spice paste, wrapped in banana leaf and betel bark, then steamed and roasted for hours.
A plate of rice ringed by small portions — satay, egg, vegetables, sambal — and the everyday Indonesian meal.
Minced fish or pork with coconut and lemongrass moulded onto a lemongrass stick and grilled, unlike the cubed satay elsewhere.
A ceremonial mix of minced meat, grated coconut, vegetables and heavy spice. The red version contains fresh blood.
Widely marketed to visitors, and now largely produced by caging civets in poor conditions. Balinese coffee from Kintamani is the better and more honest purchase.
