Good morning adventurers from beautiful Bali
The land of smoothie bowls, vegan food, and of course, delicious Indonesian cuisine.
We are in the Canggu area
We are gonna be exploring it and eating everything we can.
I hope you're hungry.
So we've come back to the actual Island of Bali
To explore the Canggu area a little bit
We wanted to fit in one more food adventure before we head out of Indonesia
So as Allison's mentioned we're going to explore the area, eating a bunch of stuff that Bali is known for
We found a little spot to try some local food
I think it's going to be such a delicious day, I'm so excited for this one.
To start off we've come to a Warung, it's basically these little road signs restaurants that you're gonna see all over the place in Indonesia
A lot of the times they're family-run, you're gonna see a lot of locals like this one
A lot of the times they are a little more upscale catering to tourists, but a lot of the food can still be good in those places.
Just because there's a lot of tourist there, doesn't mean the food is bad.
But we've managed to find a really local spot. They've got all these food on display
Got some nasi campur, which is, you get rice and then you pick out a bunch of different dishes to go along with it
They have this case with a bunch of dishes pre-made. We just kind of walked in, pointed to everything that we want.
It's kinda like Turo Turo in the Philippines.
You walk in, point to what you want.
The dishes are completely - the sides are completely different.
Here we have our breakfast of champions.
Ours have this huge amount of rice in the middle. We got fried chicken, coconut chicken
We got some delicious greens, some tempe which you see all over here
Some more greens, we try to get a little veg in there
And then the cutest little fried egg on top
And he asked if we wanted it spicy, we said "a little bit" so there's little I believe sambal on this side so we could spice it to our desires.
Before we dig in, check this out you guys, this is 21,000 Rupiah
which is like
It's less than 2 USD.
For this entire plate, that is incredible.
If you didn't get the egg it's only 18,000 which is like $1.25 oh my gosh!
I'm most excited to try this coconut chicken, so that's what I'm starting with.
Don't worry, we'll be going vegetarian and vegan soon enough.
But we're starting local, and they eat a lot of chicken here.
Do a little sambal on there. Not too much 'coz I don't wanna die this morning.
[Eric]: Is it spicy?
The sambal got me.
[Eric]: You never know how spicy it's gonna be.
That coconut chicken is so good I think there might actually might be some pepper flakes in there
It's a little spicy on its own. Super sweet. And then the chicken must have been shredded in there, it's really tender.
Almost like a chicken nugget, a coconut chicken nugget.
Oh, that's delicious!
You really can't go wrong with roadside spots like this, the food is always just really good.
We never have any complaints.
This Bali heat you guys, we're not getting used to it.
We keep going out right in the heat of the day like 11 or 12 and...
that sun comes out...oh my!
Anyways I'm too hungry to think about the heat.
I'm gonna try this little bit of chicken.
Fried chicken's just a trusty thing to get at restaurants like this.
So it's not gonna be piping hot or anything because it just sits in the trays
So it's always gonna be kinda room temperature.
It's really good.
You know you see a piece like this and you just don't think it's gonna be all that special but
it's actually got a really nice flavor on the inside
It's zesty and tangy almost like there's a -
lemon or something that they cooked it in?
and then the outside isn't super crispy because it's just been sitting there but
it is super juicy on the inside and the flavor is really good.
And now we eat.
Bali has some incredible coffee so next up we came to a little coffee shop that's a little closer to the actual Canggu
I think we're actually officially in Canggu now, right?
This place is so cool it's called Satu Satu. The place is all open area, it's huge.
Got a rusty vibe, really chill.
Lots of airflow which is great, I'm finally not sweating.
I ended up getting their cold brew, and it's one of the coolest-looking cold brew I've ever seen.
Super simple they just put it in this beer bottle
They give you some ice to pour it over
Some get really mad at us if we pour cold milk into our brew
I don't think they really care here. I like it with milk but I always like to try it without milk just to get the real coffee taste, right?
It's good cold brew.
We're really not coffee connoisseur but
It's not overly bitter and it's got a dark chocolatey taste to it
Allison ended up going with the iced latte and I think I won
We always usually reverse it, I'm always like "I'm gonna be, going a little lighter. I'm gonna do the cold brew."
And today for whatever reason, I was like "Nah, the double shot, iced latte."
I hope I hate it.
It's about as good as cold brew can get, if I'm being honest.
Nutty or chocolatey or something.
Whatever, mine's super delicious too.
Ooh, you can really taste that espresso in there.
[Eric]: She got the double shot.
Yeah, we're gonna be awake.
As we were walking around we noticed these giant bamboo bowls that are decorated with all these ornate stuff
We asked our taxi driver about it and it's a Hindu holiday that's gonna be happening on this Wednesday
Basically what you do is you get this huge bamboo pole. We've seen vendors selling them on the side of the road. People driving around with them on scooters.
Taking them into their shops. As the holiday gets closer and closer you're gonna see more of these bamboo poles hanging around on the road.
Now you know, and now we know. Let's go.
Hey guys!
Look who we found!
Trevor and Anna!
Everywhere we go we're running into you.
We honestly didn't know that we're gonna be here.
This is not arranged at all.
For our next spot, we came to the Secret Spot.
Which was surprisingly easy to find, just around the road.
Fully vegan except they have dairy milk here.
We actually got coffee before this because we didn't think they'd have dairy milk.
They do, so don't worry.
We're having such a hard time deciding what to get.
Lots of really interesting stuff on the menu.
I think they have things that are supposed to win over even meat eaters
They do really cool things with the jack fruit, vegan cheese, cashews and stuff like that.
[Eric]: Stay tuned to see what we get.
I don't think you can some to Bali and not get a smoothie bowl.
I'm very excited about it because it's got homemade peanut butter in there, chia seed pudding which I have never had in my life.
There's some coconut, some fresh ganola they made in house
Bananas and cinnamon
I don't know the last time we had smoothie bowls we typically don't get them.
'Coz we don't eat a lot of sweet things but maybe this'll be more savory with the peanut butter.
Peanut butter and bananas - my favorite combination maybe in the entire world.
This is so good though it's so yummy.
With the cinnamon on there and the granola gives it a little crunch.
The chia seed pudding it mixes with the coconut milk
It just kinda taste like creamy coconut ice cream.
The flavors are fantastic.
I don't think anything could make this better.
It's funny how pretty it looks when they bring it out and then you take one bite and it turns into this mush.
But it's yummy mush.
This beautiful dish here is their homemade ravioli.
Check this out it's so colorful.
This little bad boy is stuffed with spinach and tofu on the inside of these little guys
Creamy cashew pesto and this here is not parmesan, that stuff on the top, it's not actual cheese.
Looks surprisingly like parmesan cheese, right?
Let's see what's inside this. They're very large.
Check that out.
Oh yeah. It's very, very stuffed.
I mean it's pretty good.
The sauce is super creamy savory pesto.
I don't know if it would fool me that it's cheese or dairy.
It is still quite tasty it has a lot of creaminess to it.
Which is good. I was expecting a little more flavor to the inside.
It's not much but when you get to this sun-dried tomatoes it adds saltiness to it which is nice.
Overall not too bad.
Replacement for real ravioli? Probably not.
Still pretty good.
Last but not least and the thing I'm excited for most
is this tempura bowl.
It's jack fruit and then pieces of cauliflower.
That's deep fried. I think this is the jack fruit - no, cauliflower. Okay.
Take 2. Maybe this is the jack fruit?
[Eric]: It's very chicken-y.
Pulled pork almost.
Okay, come one.
Does it look appetizing? I don't know. I'm messing it up. Okay wait.
Oh
Right off the bat, that's good stuff.
Jackfruit is - I feel like we were introduced to recently and I never would have thought that it would be anything other than fruit.
It is like a meat substitute, it's so interesting.
It's so stringy I'd say it's got the texture of an artichoke mixed with mushroom?
But it pulls apart like chicken or pork would do.
You would know it's not meat but it's still got a similar mouth-feel.
Breading on there mixed with this sauce, oh my gosh, it is so delicious.
And I'm not even hamming it up for the camera.
We've pretty much demolished everything but I would say the highlight is the smoothie bowl.
It was quite perfect.
To me it was the tempura although I don't think anybody else loved it as much as me.
I'm still open to jackfruit I'll try it again.
See if I like it more, see if it grows on me.
The clear loser was the pasta even though we ate it.
It was still good. But they still have a lot of pasta dish, sandwiches, all kinds of stuff.
Normally when we come to Bali we drink a lot of Bintang which you should for sure try when you're here. It's an easy drinking peachy beer - classic.
But we found a brewery maybe that's a more unique experience.
[Eric]: We've never been to a brewery in Bali, I haven't even seen one.
I don't think there are many but this one's really cool it's really big - a little bit on the outskirts of all the happening stuff
It's called Black Sand Brewery.
Right when we walked into the bar they gave us all these samples to try which is our style.
Nice job.
They have a kolsch here and I think this is what we're gonna get.
Cheers, y'all.
To finally having some craft beer.
We're saying goodbye to Trevor and Anna.
Goodbye!
Goodbye, my turn!
Awkward group hug.
Head to their channel, check out the videos that they're gonna be making in Bali.
You'll see them on our channel eventually.
After we get thru our Romania series.
You wanna see us a little more awkward than we already are?
Go check out their videos.
Alright, we got a taxi to catch. Bye guys!
Our final meal of the day has arrived. We cheated a little bit and ordered it in.
Thru the service called Gojek which if you were here in Indonesia you'll see everywhere. They can deliver pretty much anything you want.
And it's very affordable.
Within the brown paper bag...
This is babi guling.
My god I'm so excited it looks beautiful
Check it out
This is suckling pig in here that has been roasted.
There's a bunch of rice.
In a nice little cone, and it looks like a lot of vegetables.
Which I am super stoked about.
Sometimes you'll see the whole suckling pig there.
Which might be terrifying to some people but I promise it's delicious.
The restaurant is actually called Babi Gulang Men Agus.
There are a bunch of Babi Gulang places all over the place.
and I think a common thread that I read in the comments is that they will overcharge tourists
but if you order with Gojek
they will charge you with the normal price so it's a little way to save money
As far as we know. Please don't tell us if we're wrong about that. We don't wanna know.
This crispy pork skin is the real hero here.
Should I eat the whole chunk, is it too big? Maybe I'll cut it in half.
It smells spicy, get a little bit of everything.
Look at that meat, the tinest bit of rice 'coz that's all that would stay on my fork.
[Eric]: Ooh that crunch
It's so crunchy
And nice heat there too.
[Eric]: It's usually served spicy it seems.
It is really crunchy but if you keep at it, it gets really nice and you'll get to the fatty porky flavor
It just turns into pure deliciousness.
We weren't sure how big these are gonna be so we got 3 of them.
I think it's probably a good amount. We almost got 4.
How much was this?
[Eric]: It was 58,000.
So that's about 5 USD.
Maybe a little bit over. And I say, if you have 3 people and you aren't that hungry, and you're having some beers
One a person, such a good price.
We actually came back to our Canggu villa and we are staying on this place completely for free
We're gonna tell you guys on the next video how we're doing that.
we're actually working with a really cool company but I don't wanna spill the beans.
Also tomorrow we are going to just take you guys around the area and do some of our favorite things to do in the Canggu area.
And then after that it's gonna be off to Sri Lanka.
But you should leave a comment if you've been to Bali and let us know what your favorite type of food to eat is in Bali
You can find pretty much everything here some of them good, some of them bad
whatever experience you've had, tell us in the comments down below.
Now it's Babi Gulang time so you don't want to see what's about to happen.
Goodnight adventurers.
We'll see you on the road.
