A completely balanced meal wrapped in fragrant banana leaves is Nasi Jinggo. Visitors may find it rather small in size, sometimes even the size of one's palm, however, this compact pack of steamed rice, and vegetables cooked with spices along with a side dish is a perfect take to work a meal or even eat on the go. Sold at street kiosks, from parked motorcycles, this pack oozes with flavours and a mouthwatering aroma. Relished by visitors who are looking for Bali villas for sale, use the side dish options of beef, chicken, seafood or eggs as per their preference.
Being one of Asia's famous desserts, this popular sweet concoction in Bali is similar to a layered pancake or crepe. Both locals and visitors indulge in this dessert selecting their preference of chocolate sauce, cheese, chopped nuts, condensed milk or a mix of two or three of these for different layers getting it done to their expectations. Available all over with street vendors.
This popular street food is ubiquitous in Bali and is also served at fine-dining restaurants such as Anantara Ubud Bali Villas. Thanks to the vibrant mix of cultures in Malaysia, each region has their speciality variant of Sate and Sate Lilit is a variant loved by most visitors.
