Sate Plecing Arjuna

Go: 11:00; famous for its spicy sate plecing but also serves excellent lilit.

Sate Plecing is Bali's answer to the more common peanut-based satays found elsewhere in Indonesia. It is distinguished by its unique sauce—Plecing—which is a fiery blend of bird's eye chili, shrimp paste (terasi), tomato, and a generous squeeze of local lime. The meat, typically beef or pork, is grilled over charcoal and then slathered in this vibrant, red, and intensely savory sauce. It is a favorite among locals who prefer a sharp, spicy, and acidic flavor profile over the sweetness of peanut sauce. The trap is assuming all Balinese satay uses peanut sauce and being unprepared for the intense heat of a true Plecing.
