Thought I'd share this..


I am a fan of Anthony Bourdain, so in order to give this post some context, watch this clip..

(SKip to 47seconds)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zFmB9JsVCEM

Slowly Hand Turning the Pig that's been slaughtered in the morning? Slowly rubbed with Coconut water and stuffed with Indonesian Spices?
Wow.


So, naturally, after seeing that clip, I had to fly to Bali and try what Anthony Bourdain said to be the best roast pig he's ever had.

I wasn't dissapointed.
I was so happy to find the place...

The Balinese spices and flavors were definitely the best. I'll never forget how it tasted.

Solid 10/10. Price for meal? 350,000 Indonesia Rupees... (about $3.50CAD).

Epic meal...:thumbsup: The place is soooo good. If you ever make a stop in Bali, be sure to try it.

[FN-2199]

Oh boy... So good...

[boss604]

wow, i want some now

[LiquidTurbo]

Yea, me too. Funny thing is there was an option to order just the skin. So you get a few slices of the skin to eat like chips. I could really go for that right now..

[Phil@rise]

I love roast pig

[LiquidTurbo]

^ The holy grail of roast pig!

[murd0c]

Pig skin is the best, I love making a sandwich with just that and mustard so fricken good.

[Vansterdam]

the only roasted pig i ever had was the chinese style ones found almost everywhere in vancouver..

you guys got any other recommendations for non chinese style?

[Alphamale]

^Filippino style. Although I have no place in particular to recommend, it's pretty damn good.

[Jayboogz]

Hopewell upstairs of tnt on 1st ave and renfrew u can get roast pig on rice for 5.25 portion size is enough to feed 1.5ppl. Pretty decent price for what u get. Roast pig there is awesome!

roasting a pig wrapped in bacon and you have a drip tray underneath catch the bacon/pig fat and basting the pig in it. YUMMMMMMMM

+1 I love watching No Reservations. He goes to so many great random places. Anthony Bourdain really loves his pig. The Filippino one is really good to.

[Mugen EvOlutioN]

man i love this show, makes me drool all over

[FN-2199]

Fuck, the Filipino one is so gooooood.

Makes me want to go back to my motherland to get some :p

[LiquidTurbo]

I'd love to try the Fillipino version, although I am skeptical it was more delicious than the Balinese version. I'd never tasted anything so memorable. Ended up eating there 3x.

Anyone know of any famous locations in the Phillipines?

[Vansterdam]

how bout some places in van that cook it up filipino style :)

Plenty to see and do. Beautiful place, nice people, beautiful culture. The best was renting a car and exploring the island on your own. The second best was the roast pork :D.

No, no tour guide.. I hate that crap. Just rented a car and brought a guidebook:thumbsup:. Sometimes its fun when you try to communicate with someone who doesn't have a damn clue about what you're saying. Usually you can find someone who speaks English, since there is a lot of tourism on the island.

also LiquidTurbo, your first post should have been 35,000 Rupiah, not 350,000, since 350,000 = $40 cad roughly

Did you try "Nuri Ribs" ? it's said to be the best ribs ever...

this was back in 1998 but in Java, they are a bit more open now. Bali on the other hand has always been somehow a safe sanctuary for the Chinese Indonesians.

Hey, thanks for the catch.. my rupees is off by an order of magnitude... the pic is indeed from Jimbaran Beach, although the restaurant was a little nicer than the others..I didn't get a chance to try the Nuri Ribs! Next time.

I HATE YOU SO MUCH!!!!!!

...jealous rage.....

[neggo]

In the first batch of pictures, if you hadn't said that it was Indonesia, I could have easily mistaken it for the Philippines.

The roast pig looked the same as lechon, except the stuffing. I would love to try the Indonesian variation.

[tcneo]

not exactly the same.. but you can try to make it with whatever u have here in Vancouver

Thanks

Wow bump from 2010. I never saw these beautiful photos. They're awesome, Liquid. I wish I had seen this post before, I would have definately tried the roast pig. I did however, go to Bumbo Bali just like you did it seems!

Anyways not sure if you are still there 'zzzz'. the temple on the cliff should be Pura Tanah Lot.
