the best meal ive ever had...

babi guling will have to go down as my most enjoyed meal to date.. a lot said from someone who spends most of his waking moments searching for great food... also ibu oka was one of the coolest restaurant i have been to.. so full of the intense energy that those of us who have worked in restaurants love.. babi guling is a dish comprised of pig (slaughtered on site) that has been slowly roasted whole sover an open fire while constantly being basted with coconut water.. the result is the most tender succulent pork i have ever had.. also the skin reaches a level of caramelized crispiness unlike anything ive ever seen.. combine this with rice, lots of chili, herbs, garlic, blood sausage, and random innards and you have the best meal i have ever had for just over US$2!!!!! i promised myself to eat it everyday that i am in ubud... you sit on the floor barefoot while eating and it is a really cool way to meet people because you share a small table with strangers..
