4D3N Bali Trip: Iiga Warung, Uluwatu
Anyeong! What day is it today? Please don't tell Noona that it's already 2017.
*taking phone*
Oh, it's the last Friday of 2016, which also means this is the last day Noona taking leave in the year 2016. Yikes. She can hear the calling of the paperwork from her office far far away *shudder*. To run away from reality, why don't we continue our flashback to Bali trip again? LOL. If you have not known by now, Balinese love to eat dishes which use pork as its meat base. So it's not surprising that there are a lot of restaurants selling pork ribs in this lovely island in Indonesia. But since there are so many selection, which one is the best? In order to find out more about the pork ribs competition in Bali, we tried to dig information from Wayan-ssi, our driver for the whole trip and he is even aware of the movement of good pork ribs chef from one restaurant to another. Since he sounds very convinced, we followed his recommendation to try out pork ribs at Iiga Warung.
The management behind Iiga Warung used to manage Naughty Nuri's Ribs until there is a legal battle about the restaurant premise. Since Naughy Nuri's Ribs has to closed from its original location (Noona forgot where), the management has decided to open up another restaurant and even hired the chef from its competitor. Sounds like a very fierce market for pork ribs in Bali. With this kind of background story, we totally closed our eyes on other kind of ribs and focused solely on the pork ribs which is sold at IDR 135k (approx SGD 14) per portion.
However, since it has been ages since the last time Noona and her travelling companions ate something greens, Noona's cousin decided to order a plate of fresh green salad. Refreshing~~~
Since everybody's ordering the same thing, Noona only took picture of her own plate which consist of a half slab of pork ribs, fries and two slices of tomato. The BBQ pork ribs really taste so good (especially eaten together with the sauce) you feel like keep on licking your fingers. The portion is not that big especially if you have eaten at the legendary pork ribs restaurant named Hurricane in Sydney before. Taste wise, everybody seems to enjoy the ribs as there were not much talking is done when the pork ribs have been served. LOL. If you prefer to have your ribs with rice, it can be done too.
