Barbacoa popular with Aussies in Bali

balinews

KEROBOKAN may be known for hospitality of a more punitive nature, but it’s fast becoming the hot restaurant end of Jalan Petitenget in booming Bali, especially for Australians. The latest go-to diner with Australian roots is Barbacao, four months old and packing them in for its Latin American take on charcoal and wood cooking. Three partners, all from Sydney, are behind the delicious-looking restaurant in a country where fitout fantasies can be achieved for sane budgets. Two — Kieren and Sean Prenter — run Mexicano restaurant in North Narrabeen, Sydney. Former caterer and chef Adam Dundas-Taylor is GM and hands-on partner. A fourth is Queenslander Peter Zuttion . Using a combination of charcoal and coffee wood, Barbacao is cooking Australian lamb, beef from both the US and Australia, local pork and seafood, using parilla grills, asador wood-burning pits for whole carcasses and wood ovens for their Balinese fire cooking.

I've had a few barbecues in my life. The worst one was when an Australian was in charge. He couldn't even get the fire going.

I'd suggest Louisiana for the best barbecuing but really anywhere in the south part of the country has pretty good creds. As long as the guy doing it is black you won't need to worry - it's genetic. Ozzys spend enough on the grill itself so maybe the result isn't bad and they do have some good meat to start with. Thing about barbecuing is that you really shouldn't need such a good meat to start with to end up with a good result. In Louisiana much of the job is more smoking than grilling so good woods are a must - not sure how coffee wood matches up to that - does it taste like coffee?

hahaha...I wondered where you were going with that comment samsiam and beginning to think you may be a New Zealander...but realized they only BBQ ugly sheep...and you didn't comment on its attractiveness or shape...:icon_e_biggrin: btw...our Javanese driver says that our Timorese security guy is feeding those two black puppies he happily removed from our compound a couple of weeks ago. I saw him checking out our S/S BBQ the other day so already told our driver....'tell him....ain't gonna happen...I don't lend BBQ'...:grumpy:

Thais are not bad. There is a lady over by the Burmese border that bbq'd her husband and fed him to the tigers in the National Park nearby.

Texans????? The only list I'd put them on the top of is loudmouths and troublemakers. Seems to be a bit lost in translation here I think. BBQ as us Antipodeans refer to is more hot plate cooking rather than char-grill that the rest of the world refers to as BBQ. Which is great if done properly. Otherwise a great way to dry up and destroy a perfectly good piece of meat. Like a shrivelled Jimbaran prawn.....
