The food and cuisine of Bali is certainly a highlight of any trip to this vibrant holiday destination. Whether you’re game enough to indulge in the most traditional fare or prefer to stick to slightly more familiar options, it’s worth trying Balinese cuisine for the authentic experience while you’re visiting. While the exotic sounding food may conjure some interesting images, the cuisine of Bali truly is a contrast.
The daily diet of the Balinese is delicious if not basic, but it is the festival food that really showcases the astronomical gastronomy of this part of South East Asia. These elaborate feasts are designed to be shared and enjoyed with the ones you love and will have you head over heels with their delicate balance of flavour. Influenced by India and China, Bali food and cuisine is tied to Indonesian flavours and incorporates seafood as well as fried vegetables and chicken or meat.
