Backpacking Indonesia 27/27: The Life of Balinese People, Enjoying Nasibabi with Crispy Pork Skin Rice, Bali, Indonesia

Bali, a small island sharing its name with a province in Indonesia, is not just a place many Thais know from beautiful beaches or surfing scenes. For mr.hotsia, it is a land rich with stories and a way of life deeply intertwined with Hindu culture. This place is not just a tourist destination but a home where people still live traditional lifestyles intensely.

The journey from Denpasar Airport to the heart of Bali city is itself an interesting experience. mr.hotsia recommends researching informationTraveling from Denpasar Bali Airport to the Cityto prepare before exploring. The first impression is an atmosphere blending modernity with the ancient Hindu religion, visible in the spirit shrines and offering baskets placed around the city.

The Unique Way of Life of Balinese People

One thing that makes mr.hotsia fall in love with Bali is the lifestyle of the locals who firmly preserve Hindu customs. Every home has a personal spirit shrine, intricately decorated, with rituals performed at set times. Some houses are as large as small temples. People here are very devoted to religion; besides worshipping the home shrine, they carry offerings on their heads to the temple, a sight that mr.hotsia finds an amazing preservation of cultural roots.

The importance of religion and culture is also reflected in the arts and crafts commonly seen, including clothing often made from beautifully patterned batik fabric. mr.hotsia had the chance to stroll through local markets and saw Balinese people living simply but happily, clearly different from the hustle of big Indonesian cities.

Enjoy Nasibabi and Crispy Pork Skin Rice – A Must-Try

When it comes to food in Bali, mr.hotsia must say that “Nasibabi” is one dish you should not miss. Nasibabi is rice served with crispy pork skin and various side dishes including fried chicken, curry, and fresh vegetables. The flavor is well-balanced with the salty richness from the truly crispy pork skin, making every bite satisfying.

mr.hotsia once tried Nasibabi from a street stall in a local neighborhood that was not fancy but had bold flavors and fresh ingredients, clearly different from tourist restaurants. There are also other dishes like Balinese satay with a special dipping sauce and desserts made mainly from coconut and banana. What mr.hotsia loves most is the variety of flavors and textures experienced in every bite.
