no trip to Bali would seem to be complete without a trip to the now-famous Bu Oka's Warung in Ubud. made famous by that most adventurous of food gurus - anthony bourdain, the warung sells only babi guling or in english, suckling pig. the dish comes with an interesting array of bits and bobs of the pig and some vegetables. the meat was succulent and soft and super tasty, the crackling was crispy...no, that's not the word...it crackled in your mouth...i don't really know any other way to describe it! the soup was full of flavour and the meat in it soft and just seemed to kind of dissolve in the mouth. for Rp. 40,000 you get the whole set of soup, rice and meat and if you haven't tried it then a stop off here is something to put on your list. it gets very busy around lunch time, so i'd recommend going a little later if you want to avoid the crowds. there are two locations now - one in the centre of Ubud and one just outside in the village of Mas. i went to the one in Mas and it was a little quieter with a lovely seating area upstairs, with floor seating.

I didn't hear about this place until I got back from Bali last year, despite spending half of my time in Ubud. But what better excuse to get back out there :)
This is so cool....
Hey ~ where have you been? I've missed your blogs :)
Hello, I have a trip this year in Bali, so enjoy travel, so enjoy people, so enjoy country... I just have to say that's difficult to read your blog with the very dark color you put on the screen. Sory... I dont speak very well, so it's more difficult for me to explain.... thank's for what you can do. I try to read again. By from France
