But beyond the surface and you are a country rich in tradition, superstition, and a people whose devotion to witness their faith has helped keep the island with its ancient traditions. Enduring the onslaught of tourists invading their beaches each year to continue their lives of Balinese life deeply rooted religious, family values and importance of respect for the spirits of the dead. Pious Hindus, the Balinese off every morning offering similar structures. Fruits and flowers beautifully arranged in palm leaves in front of their shops displayed with rich perfumes, to bring good luck and try to appease the spirits. We attach great importance taken to preserve its tradition and young and old continue to practice these beliefs. Every day you see an event occur. Whether a wedding anniversary or a cremation developed, the Balinese life filled with festivities. Only a short drive from the main tourist destination of Kuta Beach is the quiet town of Ubud. The picturesque village located in the interior of Bali, between the green rice terraces is a place where time stops. Farmers tend their rice fields by hand for their flocks of ducks waddle painted on their land. If, by peaceful means, you can be stopped by a local boy, who continues to climb a tree to give you a fresh coconut. The artists sell their masterpieces qualified for the elusive buyer or seasoned collector’s treasures and homemade masks and statues are found in many family run shops to be bought. Or you can find a real bargain at the colorful market in the center of town to find, selling sarongs and t-shirts to handicrafts and paintings.

Artists masked dressed in colorful costumes to tell their history and folklore in the open air festival in the vault of heaven. Many of commitment dedicated to the study of this difficult job and is highly skilled Balinese dancer made revered throughout the country. Quiet street cafes along the Monkey Forest Sanctuary, a protected part of the jungle with a long-tailed macaques. Unlike other shrine I visited in South Asia, do not put the monkey on their own. Vendors sell bananas and peanuts, which are for-profit, so that tourists can feed these feisty creatures. They get their deals regularly cause conflicts between monkeys and tourists. Enjoy a luxurious massage in one of the many spas. For the low price of $ 12, you enjoy half past one in the sky. Qualified masseurs to work your muscles tired Travel with very old techniques, finishing with a scrub made from plants and flowers warm bath. Pure decadence. The choice of a meal in one of the many restaurants can be a difficult task. With food from traditional Indonesian Guling babi (pig roasted on a spit and must be ordered a day in advance.) Italian pasta and pizza, or roast duck. There is a playground for the taste buds and food in the candlelit setting while the Balinese music plays softly in the background gives a sense of calm. You relax, while a Bintang beer and think you can leave this tropical paradise. Ubud has traveled the routes of many nations in Bali, but the relaxed atmosphere of tradition and a vibrant community of artists dedicated to giving you the facade of the “real” Bali. Many say that the real Bali is gone, it has gained through tourism and Western influence has been. But I see that it flourishes in the daily lives of local people and Bali real, it is in their hearts.

admin — Fri, 12 Feb 2010 06:16:16 +0000

Hands down one of the best dining experiences while we were in Bali, Bebek Bengil or often called the “Dirty Duck Diner in Ubud Bali city. Tourists from around the world have joined, cracked a bone in some duck seconds, then the oath of allegiance, the 19-year old restaurant, located in Padang Tegal, Ubud, the heart of the city. If you wonder what happens with the unappetizing name of “Dirty Duck”, a restaurant, ski in fact the origin of his nickname in 1990, built as the place was. Press a few ideas, brainstorming and all, a flock of ducks (no prizes for guessing how they were hygiene!) Went random from paddy fields in the restaurant, shouting their way and let their webbed footprints on the floor! Because ducks were unofficially the first “customers” Waltz are not yet ready to name his restaurant is Dirty Duck Diner, has since slipped and decorated with several travel magazines, forums, and guides. If you plan to dine here, at any time during the high season (when tourists flock), I do remember to book. Especially when you go to a big group (like the ten of us), it is strongly recommended that you call and reserve the best seats, as the straw hut played with blinds, a long table wood and cushions on the floor you sit cross-legged on the legs. Just as before, where farmers regenerate after some heavy plowing in rice fields. There are some dishes that must be ordered one day in the advance. The famous smoked duck is a set of two that came in a fairly large half a duck) with side dishes of vegetables (long beans and crispy bean sprouts, Delicious satay skewers with peanut sauce and rice and a dish with a spicy salad. The smoked duck was performed admirably, with meat so tender it fell off the bone. The marinade can be a little disappointing, because we expect this dish a stronger flavor. However, the smoked duck was one of the best dish of the evening and can easily feed 3 people. And the court making Diner’s Dirty Duck, crispy duck has a small part, just a half duck marinated with spices and fried to crispy perfection. Very crispy, yes, to the point of the edible bones. Note, however, that should benefit small bones. Do not go for the bigger you make just the way to the clinic. Served with roasted potatoes, a dish of minced shallot mixture, the bird’s eye chilli and vinegar, and a piece of watermelon and a piece of lemon for flavor. Being translated Steamed rice with an assortment of Balinese cuisine to the plate “style Balinese Nasi Campur Bali literally ‘rice mixture. For comparison, I found the Nasi Campur here to be better than Warung Made, with more details ‘ingredients like slices of marinated beef and a half eggs with the sambal and Sate Lilit kebab, satay and fish with a strong smell of lemon grass and spices. Bebek Bengil serves not only the Balinese dishes, but also other western influenced dishes, like fish and chips, sandwiches, pasta and pork chops. fettuccine with cream sauce was a little disappointing and the creaminess is nothing but empty promises. sauce was thin and cuts Marlin (a kind of trout), provided a lot of salty noodles, salty, as some might misintepreted. Lawyers juice with chocolate syrup to Bebek Bengil was our first choice Travel. fresh, creamy and refreshing, accented by a slight sweetness of the vortex of chocolate syrup, the drink has enjoyed a very fair IDR23, 000 / RM8 40 / USD2 .. 40 per glass. The meal came IDR 977,130 / RM356. 60 / USD 101. 90 of 10 of us, including 10% VAT and 5% service. Without doubt one of the most expensive meal we had in Bali, but worth every penny paid for, in my opinion. for the food industry, service and ambience. And given the fact that Ubud is literally asleep sunset we really stepped back and relaxed in the serene atmosphere of Ubud. .. … inked & Location Contact Phone: Bebek Bengil (Dirty Duck Diner) Hanoman Street, Padang Tegal, Ubud, 80571 Bali, Indonesia Phone / Fax: (62-361) 975 489
