Visiting Bali? Here are some Bali food-related activities (yes, mostly eating) that are my favourite and repeatedly recommended to friends and family. Enjoy!
Dare Yourself to Eat A Plate of Nasi Pedas
I have previously written more about Balinese cuisine Nasi Pedas (spicy mixed rice) on the blog. Check it out if you want to go into more details before trying it.
Where: Nasi Pedas Ibu Andika.
Have Flavour-packed Chicken Porridge for Breakfast

Where: Bali Bakery or, if you are keen to get a tarot reading while enjoying your Bubur, check out. Biku Bali.
Stop for Road Side Snacks
Tipat Tahu (V) – Balinese Street Food

Enjoy Authentic Balinese Food in a Warung
Warung is one of the eatery places that are unique to Indonesian culture. Traditionally, it’s a small neighbourhood shop. Sometimes, they sell food, provisions, or other things. Growing up, I remember being given pocket money by Appa to Jajan (buy snacks) in the Warung Ijo a few doors down from our house.
Where: Warung Wardani or Warung Made.

Speaking of seafood… Balinese-style Tuna dish is one of my go-to orders while in Bali.
