Thread: Cheap , delicious traditional food list :)

You can try a couple of Batak restaurants that sell it. One is Tabo Toba in Jalan Hayam Wuruk and the other is Muara Kobe in Kuta. Both places have very ordinary decor but great food and very reasonably priced.

And how much for the whole pig from the place in Singaraja and can you post or send me the details?

Could someone explain what Babi Pangang is or at least what makes it different than the other kind - Oh and Babi Guling is often translated as Suckling Pig - this it sure aint. Most of them are as big as I am and no one calls me a suckling human.

Here is a picture from Tabo Toba:



The pork is on the left. More explanation here: EatingAsia: BPK or BPT: Make Mine a B2

Ok sort of a Balinese barby? With specail sauce... will order soon. Thanks

It looks slightly different to what I had, I think what I had was just Babi Guling but with the black Babi Pangang sauce. There weren't any herbs or anything else.

Batak food is much spicier than Balinese and some of the spices you can only get in Sumatra. The green vegetable is apparently tapioca leaves. Not a lot of taste, but mixes well with rice. The dish in the middle is Saksang and is kind of like a curry.
