Must-Try Indonesian Food: A Feast for Your Senses

Iconic Rice and Noodle Dishes

Indonesia has iconic rice and noodle dishes that locals and foreigners alike adore, namely Nasi Goreng and Mie Goreng. Indonesians consider Nasi Goreng or Indonesian Fried Rice as the national staple food. It is a stir-fried rice dish that has a savory and often slightly sweet flavor. This dish often includes additions such as fried egg, chicken, and shrimp. As for Window Bali's version, the rice is stir-fried with chicken and complete with vegetable pickles, sunny side egg, sambal, and prawn crackers.

The other dish, Mie Goreng or Indonesian Fried Noodles, is slightly similar to Nasi Goreng. The difference between them is the main ingredient. Using noodles instead of rice makes Mie Goreng different from Nasi Goreng in terms of texture and flavor. Window Bali's version of Mie Goreng is a wok fried egg noodle, complete with vegetable, seafood, vegetable pickles, and prawn crackers.

Savory & Crispy Delights

If you want something savory and crispy, you must try Bebek Goreng Krispi (Crispy Fried Duck) and Buntut Goreng Rica-Rica (Fried Oxtail with Spicy Rica-Rica Sauce). Bebek Goreng Krispi is a duck-based dish fried to perfection, resulting in crispy skin and tender meat. At Window Bali, they serve this dish with sauteed morning glory, steamed rice, and assorted sambal (chili sauce).

Another must-try savory and crispy delight is the flavorful and tender cuisine Buntut Goreng Rica-Rica. Buntut Goreng Rica-Rica is a traditional Indonesian food made from fried oxtail topped with Spicy Rica-Rica Sauce. At Tiket Bali, they serve this dish with aromatic and flavorful spiced rice, freshly sauteed cassava leaves, and a spicy and tangy sambal Belacan.

Grilled & Barbecued Temptations

Let yourself fall into the temptations of Indonesian grilled and barbecued delicacies. These delicacies feature Grilled Beef Ribs and Mixed Skewers. Iga Sapi Bakar is the answer if you are craving something smoky, savory, and slightly sweet. On Properti Bali's menu, they call this dish Iga Sapi Bakar Bukit, and they serve it with steamed rice. The tender beef glazed with Tiket Bali's signature Indonesian BBQ sauce is a must-try.

Sate Campur, a mixed skewered meat dish, is a variety of Indonesian Satay. Indonesian Satay itself is a dish featuring small pieces of marinated chicken, beef, or lamb that are skewered and chargrilled to perfection. As its name “Mixed Skewers” suggests, Sate Campur distinguishes itself by combining different kinds of meat on a single skewer or serving. Sate Campur at Properti Bali uses three types of meat: chicken, beef, and fish, served with steamed rice and dipping sauces.

Aromatic Soups

Craving something warm and comforting? Try Oxtail Soup. Sop Buntut is a flavorful and savory soup made from slow-braised oxtail combined with a rich and strong flavor of beef broth. The broth is often combined with boiled potatoes and carrots. Tiket Bali serves this aromatic soup with steamed rice, Sambal, and Bitternut Crackers.

Vegetarian Delights

Gado-Gado, a type of Indonesian salad, is a must-try dish for those who look for vegetarian and nutritious dishes. This dish features blanched vegetables, tofu, soybean cake (tempeh), boiled egg, and topped with rich and delicious peanut sauce.

Another recommended vegetable-based food is Asinan Traditional. Asinan is pickled vegetables or fruit with sweet and sour dressing. Window Bali serves Authentic Batavia Vegetable Salad with Fried Peanut, Crackers, and Tamarind Chili Dressing.
