In search of another restaurant that serves great crispy duck in Bali, we came upon many recommendation of this place. And since we would be staying in Petitenget area, we listed this place as one of our to-try option, which we did. On our second night staying at Bali Island Villa, we decided to come here for dinner.

There are plenty of parking spaces available in front of the restaurant and the restaurant itself is an open air two-storey building. When we were there, it was fairly quiet, I think there were only two other tables occupied on the ground level where we were also seated. They have wooden furniture through out the ground floor (I imagine it would be the same as top level, but can’t confirm) and it feels modern Balinese style. There are a couple of standing fan in the restaurant to help circulate the air.

The menus on offer was quite extensive, they offer western food, balinese and general indonesian food. But, of course after seeing that name board in front of the restaurant that says “The finest crispy ducks in Bali”, how can you go by not ordering one? So we ordered one crispy duck and one grilled pork ribs.

I must say the pork rib is so much better than the crispy duck! Not that the crispy duck is not delicious, it packed with flavours and crispy skin yet still succulent inside. You can definitely still taste the “duck” flavour maybe due to how succulent the meat is compared to some other brands where the meat is just as dry and crispy as the skin. So, it comes to your preference of how you like your crispy duck. I like the really crispy type myself, but hubby like this version better.

The bbq pork ribs, however is the true highlight of our dinner. Packed with flavours, a little spicy, the smokiness, and how tender the meat is! Gosh, the meat was literally falling off the bones. And the mashed potato side dish is so smooth and very well seasoned. The salad side dish was dressed in balsamic vinegar which complimented the ribs nicely.

To summarize, I’d definitely come back again for their bbq pork ribs also hubby will not mind their crispy duck either. By the way, the crispy duck is a lot cheaper than at the famous Bebek Bengil or Bebek Tepi Sawah. All in all, it was a lovely dinner, nice atmosphere at the restaurant and we went back to the villa with full tummy and happy faces 🙂

Seafood lovers, you will definitely love the food here…

This place is not for those who expects to enjoy their seafood meal with beautiful sunset beach view or any beautiful view, really. The place itself is rather small and equipped with very basic table and plastic chairs. It is located right on Jalan Uluwatu II , you may pass by it without even noticing – nothing really stand out of the place. Unless you really set out to get there, I doubt you will notice the sign and stop by to eat in here. So, do expect a small restaurant without air conditioner, but it is very clean and airy, so you can still enjoy your meal comfortably.

There are so many interesting reviews on this night market, and we have never been to any night markets in Bali, so it topped our have-to-go places on our itinerary. And since our first stay was in Ubud, which is basically in the regency of Gianyar, it became our very first stop after checking in to Tegal Sari. Typing up this blog, I am reminiscing our scooter ride to this place at the beginning of our holiday and filled with so much joy  ♪~ ᕕ(ᐛ)ᕗ

Finding the way to Gianyar Night Market was a little tricky, although we had asked for directions to the reception staff at Tegal Sari (he even gave us a drawing!), still we got confused after few turns and became unsure whether we were still in the right track. So we stopped few times along the way and asked local residents who were just so friendly and directed which turns and ways to go. After about 30 minutes or so, we finally approached the night market – bright with lights and many people!

We explored the market from the entrance towards the end of it, but we didn’t walk into the side way corridors thinking that most of the stalls there were selling clothing and accessories. But boy, it is indeed a very nice size of night market selling just about anything from various traditional food to toys, to (pirated) DVDs, to clothing and accessories. Yes there were lots of people but it didn’t feel over crowded at all and we’d say it was a nice place to go if you want to get the more local feel of Bali. The slideshows below summarized our time at Gianyar Night Market

And here is what we had for dinner, delicious Babi Guling at awesome price, only Rp20,000 per plate!

Unlike few other night markets in Bali, Gianyar night market certainly has lots of pork options as well as the halal food (non-pork). Certainly it is a place for everyone and we just can’t wait to be back here again!
