Bali Part 1: Krisna Kuliner

We did this Bali trip back a few months ago. I'm kinda a little delay to post this, guys. With all moving country thingy and settling thingy.  Ok, enough whinging and come back to the point.  

I always love Bali and so do many tourists around the world as well.  The scenery here is absolutely amazing, friendly people and great hospitality, and of course delicious delicious local cuisine.  Right after we landed, we headed to Krisna Kuliner to have our first meal in this beautiful paradise.  They serve local cuisine here with some western dishes as well and it is located not so far from Ngurah Rai airport. 

Ayam betutu kuah Rp. 105k (A$ 10.50)

Ayam betutu is a traditional Balinese dish.  It is cooked by stewing/baking a whole chicken for hours with full on aromatic spices like nutmeg, coriander seeds, turmeric, candlenuts, lemongrass and so on.  It is very rich, spicy and full of flavours.  You can imagine, how tender and juicy the chicken is.  They also come in fried as well but of course, this form is much better.  So far as I know, there is bebek betutu which is the duck version. 

Mixed tahu tempe Rp. 29K (A$ 3)

Fried tofu and tempe, my favorite childhood dish.  It comes with spicy kecap manis (sweet soy sauce) for dipping.

Kangkung plecing Rp. 34k (A$ 3.50)

This kangkung or water spinach dish can be found in these 2 islands: Bali and Lombok.  It's normally made by blanching water spinach then topped with homemade sambal.  It's cooked to perfection.  They still have the right crunchiness in their texture and their sambal was spot on too.

Side dish

When you order Ayam betutu, it comes with this vegetable side dish and extra sambal too.  

Gurami asam manis Rp. 80k (A$ 8)

Deep fried Gourami fish then topped with sweet and sour sauce.  It is crispy, flavorsome and refreshing.

 

Onion rings Rp. 27k (A$ 2.75)

Avocado juice Rp.30k (A$ 3)

Avocado juice is very common in Southeast Asian.  But what not common is and even better, we Indonesian, will mix them with chocolate condensed milk or coffee.  I totally recommend this drink.

Another must-try drink while you're in Indonesia is this country pride Teh Botol.  It's sweetened jasmine tea and best served cold.  You will taste slightly bitterness in your first sip but then sweet aftertaste.  Very very refreshing drink.
