No trip to Bali is complete without a taste of the traditional Balinese favourites like bebek goreng (crispy fried duck) and babi guling (Balinese roast suckling pig) in Ubud.
The classic bebek goreng, or crispy fried duck at Bebek Tepi Swah
Two classic places to enjoy these dishes are Bebek Tepi Sawah and Ibu Oka. The former boasts a relaxing view of the rice paddies while you tuck into their signature crispy duck while Ibu Oka is practically a local institution for lunch.
The mouthwatering babi guling (or roast suckling pig) at Ibu Oka in downtown Ubud, right across from Ubud Palace
Our go-to order is the Pisang set at Ibu Oka, which comes with a generous serving of fried pork, crispy pork skin and tender pork meat as well as a side of clear pork broth. No such thing as too much of a good thing, we say.
