Best Nasi Jinggo
in Bali (Denpasar)

Nasi Jinggo is Bali's ultimate street food for the common man, traditionally sold from roadside carts starting in the late afternoon. It consists of a handful of rice—roughly the size of a fist—wrapped tightly in a banana leaf with small amounts of shredded chicken, sate lilit, fried noodles, and spicy sambal. The dish is famous for its extreme affordability and its role as a quick energy source for workers and night owls. The name "Jinggo" is said to originate from the price (formerly 1,500 rupiah) or from the 1960s Django western movies. The trap is buying a pack where the sambal has made the rice excessively soggy over many hours.
