Warung Babi Guling Pak Malen at Bali, Indonesia

As I continue my Bali experience, yes, it was a free and easy holiday and we practically didn't visit any of the famous temples and etc. We, do need to eat too and we explore only few restaurants as suggested by our hotel reception and driver. 

No, we didn't try Naughty Nuri here as it's very commercialized and to me, it's overhyped. Moreover, I prefer to go where locals like to eat and they recommended Pak Malen since it's very near to Seminyak.

Our driver took us there on our second day during lunch time. If you are planning a trip to Bali between May to August, I suggest that you were extremely light and thin clothings because the weather will kill you. 

Secondly, there is no air-cond in this restaurant. It's very small and located at a traffic junction with say, 20 tables or less. Going over during lunch hour was bad as it was packed other than us trying to sit as comfortably as possible on a hot day. There were fan but, let's just say, not much air ventilation.

Obviously, we ordered their famous babi guling dish. Portion was small but it was good. They cooked the pork in different types and it comes with soup too. Don't underestimate the dish and soup. It may look tame but trust me, it is super spicy and add the weather, we were sweating after we finished eating.

The crispy pork skin was super crunchy and meat was tender. It was yummy. My advice is to come before the lunch crowd. Their service is fast when it's peak. I think all in, we paid around 75,000 IDR.
