Hands down one of the best satays (pork on skewers) I've ever had! The line is usually really long for this place, so I'd recommend ordering through Go-Food, or just simply ask our butler Hadi to help buy them for you to avoid the queue :-)

One of Bali's most signature dishes - must try Babi Guling! Don't come too close to closing hours or you will be left with only the remaining pieces of crispy pork skin!
