As we all know, Bali belongs to "the country of a thousand islands"-Indonesia.
The rich and diverse ecological climate has created a unique and charming Indonesian food culture.
This time I will take you into the wonderful Bali food paradise ~
Bali on the tip of her tongue
Bali is located in the tropics, and the residents' staple food is mainly rice, corn and potatoes.
In addition to cooked rice, locals also like to wrap rice or glutinous rice with banana leaves or palm leaves and steam it, which is called "Keduba".
Or put the rice on the coconut shell, and it will have a faint coconut flavor after steaming. Of course, Balinese people also like to eat pasta, such as bread and noodles.
Characteristics of Balinese cuisine
Compared with the strong curry flavor of Thai food, Balinese food pays more attention to the use of spices, seasonings and color matching.
The most typical feature of authentic Balinese cuisine is that coconut milk, pepper, cloves, cardamom and curry are often added to dishes.
Full of color, smell and taste.
Bali cuisine can be elegant without losing the simple and warm style of ordinary people.
Such as spices
Indonesia is a country rich in spices. Indonesia likes to put all kinds of spices in cooking, as well as peppers, onions, ginger, garlic and so on. Therefore, the characteristics of Indonesian food are generally spicy and delicious.
No chopsticks.
Balinese people eat with spoons and forks instead of chopsticks, and sometimes they like to grab food with their hands.
When catching rice, first put the rice on the plate, then knead it into balls with your right finger and send it to your mouth one by one. Put a bowl of water on the edge of the dining table, grab the rice and touch it with your hands from time to time to prevent it from sticking to your fingers.
I heard that people who like hand-grabbed rice find it appetizing.
Fried? Baking and frying
Balinese people like to roast, fry and fry when cooking.
Fresh ingredients and various spices can be simply fried to make a delicious food with Indonesian characteristics.
Strangely, people there eat "fried, roasted and fried" every day, but they don't get angry.
Absolute characteristic
Dirty duck meal Tepi Sawah
When it comes to Bali cuisine, the first thing that comes to mind is dirty duck rice.
The dirty duck meal in Bali seems to be against people. The dish is called "disgusting". In fact, ducks are scattered in paddy fields, eating small insects and fish in the wild, and often get muddy all over. In addition, in the cooking process, ducks are fried and grilled, and their skins look darker, hence the name "dirty duck".

What to eat at the wedding?
Traditional weddings in Bali do not require dowry, which is different from other ethnic groups in Indonesia. In Bali, the parents of the couple will hold a wedding reception at home. People usually decorate the scene with palm leaves in the yard in front of their homes. They will set up tents and chairs to serve the distinguished guests.
Since guests usually don't eat at the table, the banquet is simply arranged as a buffet. These plates are made of rice paper. Wedding banquets usually last all day, so that guests can come to the wedding at their convenience.
Balinese people regard yellow as a symbol of good luck, and "yellow ginger rice" has become a gift meal in Bali, which is essential for weddings and sacrifices.
It is rice cooked with spices such as turmeric and citronella. Golden color, faint coconut fragrance, piled into a cone. When eating, you can choose to stir-fry beef with herbs, roast chicken with red pepper, stir-fry meat pie with tomatoes, stir-fry tofu with vanilla yellow sugar, and mix coconut with miscellaneous vegetables, which is very rich.
