Ibu Oka @ Ubud

Visiting Bali will not be complete unless you go and eat at warung Ibu Oka in Ubud. It is (probably) the champion of Balinese suckling pig! The place is always full. Foreigners and locals are blending in, sitting side by side, enjoying the meal. It opens at midday and closes around 2 pm, normally serves 2 or 3 large sucking pigs a day.
One set of nasi babi guling consists of spicy lawar (mix of fried grated coconut, chilli padi bits, lard and spices), slices of juicy grilled pork, urutan (balinese sausage), crunchy fried intestine, rice and crispy pork skin (which still has one layer of juicy pork fat). The taste? Can't describe it. You have to try it yerself, mate!
