Best Babi Guling
in Bali (Denpasar)

Babi Guling is the definitive Balinese feast, representing the island's unique Hindu heritage in a majority Muslim nation. The dish consists of a whole pig stuffed with a complex spice paste and slow-roasted over an open fire. The texture is defined by the contrast between the paper-thin crispy skin and the tender, spice-infused meat. It is traditionally served with a side of lawar (vegetable and meat salad) and a bowl of rich bone broth. The trap is visiting a shop too late in the afternoon when the skin has lost its crunch.
