Bali Food

Rice (Nasi) is the basis of most Indonesian meals.
Noodle (Mie) is common in Chinese dishes.

There are many regional specialties. More expensive international dishes are widely available in the tourist areas. Street hawkers and Warungs offer the cheapest local food. Check the level of hygiene first.

Indonesian Specialities
Sate- charcoal-grilled chicken or mutton pieces usually served with peanut sauce
Nasi goreng- fried rice
Nasi campur- cold rice served with meat, vegetables, tofu and fermented beans
Gado gado-salad with peanut sauce and prawn crackers
Cap cai - fried vegetables
Ayam goreng - fried chicken

Rijsttafel - rice with as many as 15 different side dishes.

Tried them all except the last 2, and every one of them is YUM YUM YUM! Especially the Nasi Goreng, Chicken Satay, and Gado Gado, but give me any of them and I will be happy! I stuck with the local food for every single meal except once I went to the mexican place, one night I had pizza at Tubes, a baked potato at Tubes, and I tried KFC with some kids one day. I didn't meet anyone that didn't love the food.

I look really strange in the photo above, doesn't even look like me, but nevermind that.. check out the food in front of me!
