I was googling Anthony Bourdain & found ur blog accidentally, love it. I’m also a big fan of Mr. Bourdain & pork. I had been to Ibu Oka also, she indeed has the best suckling pig in Bali, the 2nd best is Babi Guling Chandra in Denpasar.

There are lots of pork menu in every island of Indonesia, u should try the Manadonese pork satay & other pork dishes there, usually spicy. Manado is the capital city of North Sulawesi, but u can find these dishes in most of Manadonese restaurants in Jakarta.

Btw, i don’t like Bobby Chinn. How come he had a nerve to spit out a durian in his show & give negative reviews when he came to Jakarta…shame on u Bobby. I guess he has a lot to learn from the great Mr. Bourdain :-)

Albert - an Anthony Bourdain Waterfall? I didn't know they have one in Bali. Was it on one of his shows? Most waterfalls in Bali are in the North, the most famous one is Git-Git, a cascading waterfall with several trekking paths and view points. For other waterfalls, just rent a car, drive along the Northern Coast and look out for the signs "Air Terju", which means Waterfall in Bahasa Indonesia. Another smaller one is off Bedugul, read more about it here.

I’m going to Bali in 2 weeks, I’d love to know where that Anthony Bourdain waterfall is.

Also, aside from Ibu Oka and dirty duck, anything else you can recommend for me to eat or see or do? Thanks.

Ibu Oka’s pork is one of the best, but Indonesia has another secret treasure for pork lovers. Bangka Island has one of the best sucking pig roasted with herbs and peanut, the chili sauce is also a superlative. I even had dreams about it :-)

Thank you so much for this info. Gotta love the Internet and Google. “Anthony Bourdain” and “Bali” popped this site up as the first hit. I saw his Bali show and was wanting to know where the fabulous pork was located. Ubud is one of my favorite places in the entire world and to so easily find the pork god palace that Anthony Bourdain showed, but did not specify, is a special treat. I will make a special pilgrimage there next time I am in Indonesia (two times a year minimum).

Personally, I’m a fan of kampong chicken… so lean and tasty.

But the pork is a suitable second!
