Another visit to Babi Guling - Warung Ibu Oka, Ubud - Bali

My second visit to the Warung Ibu Oka for Bali's Babi Guling (Suckling pig). You can view my first visit here. The shop located at the end of Monkey Forest Street of Ubud, please refer to my previous post for GPS Coordinates.

The shop still crowded as usual, we were quite lucky to had a table inside...

There was also a media shooting during our visit. Ya...the Famous Babi Guling at Bali Island!

I ordered the Babi Guling Istimewa (Special) with rice just like before, and I enjoy the meal very much! Especially the gravy...
Some peoples might not like it and some said it's just normal...that will depends on individual preferences.

Anyway, I satisfied with it. But...I might not visit on my next Bali's trip, the reason is I want to try the Babi Guling at some other places at Bali Island...

After about 1 hour 20 mins journey from Kuta, we reached the Sri Bungalows Ubud almost 10pm (local time), and the reception counter said we had been upgraded to the Super Deluxe room due to the deluxe room was fully booked! It was a surprised for us! :)

But the distance from the lobby to our bungalows was about 400 meters! My goodness! But we were satisfy once we saw the room setting...

Malioboro Restaurant (Pressurized Cooked Chicken) at Bali Island, Indonesia

Malioboro Restaurant (S8.73838 E115.17065) is located along Jalan Raya Kediri of Kuta - Bali Island. Which was our first stop and only about 1KM away from the Airport. It was also the place we met Mr Agung and he recommended this restaurant to us.

The area was nice with simple setup with the good service.

We placed our order immediately with the recommendation from Mr Agung...

*  Pressurized Chicken (Non-spicy and spicy) (Signature Dish)
*  Peanuts Omelette (Non-spicy and spicy) (Signature Dish)
*  Special fish (Signature Dish)
*  Steam fish
*  The local Sambal Anchovies with petai

Special Signature Fish

It was boneless!

The local Sambal Anchovies with petai

All the dishes served was Delicious! We were very satisfied and enjoy the meal especially the Unique Chicken and Fish. Appreciated by the recommendation from Mr Agung.
The Damage was about 450,000.00 Rupiah (MYR160.00) for 7 adults and 1 child. Reasonable!

It was because we will take about 1 hour 30 minutes from Kuta to Ubud, therefore it's advise to take our dinner here before we start the journey...

I will visit it again on my next trip to Bali if time allow...
