the Balinese national dish Babi Guling is a spiced roast suckling pig usually served as a portion of carved off meat with a bit of crispy pig skin on rice.
You can find many stalls and restaurants on the island serving Babi Guling, but we decided to take the drive to one well known but also quite touristy restaurant in Ubud to get a taste of this specialty.
Our worries to land in a tourist trap were appeased as we realized that many guests there were Indonesian visitors coming there from Jakkarta or other parts of this vaste country.

Here at Ibu Oka, the Babi Guling is served on spiced rice with coconut, a piece of boudin noir or blood sausage on the side, some fried innards as well as chili-vegetable relish. Of course it also comes with a thin piece of crispy pork skin.

The meat is quite juicy and succulent and with the crispy skin I somehow had to think of Bavarian roast pork, except that in Bavaria the skin is often much much thicker (and the meat is spiced in a totally different way of course)
It was a good experience to eat there. If you happen to be in Ubud for your Bali trip you definitely won’t come around trying this dish at Ibu Oka. And it seems to be a popular restaurant among locals as well. It is a quite packed and busy place though and lacks a bit of charm with guests rushing in and out and standing around waiting, so it totally is some kind of tacky tourist destination but also entirely satisfying tastewise.

Babi Guling mostly is a lunchtime dish in Bali and apparently you have to come by Ibu Oka quite early if you don’t want to stand in line. We arrived quite late around 2 pm since we were stuck in traffic and luckily got a table right away.
