WHY PORK RIBS ARE A MUST-TRY DISH IN BALI
Pork ribs are a popular dish in Bali, and for good reason in modern days. The dish is usually slow-cooked, resulting in tender and juicy meat that falls off the bone. The meat is often marinated in a mix of spices, giving it a rich and savory flavor. The dish is usually served with rice and a side of vegetables, making it a complete and satisfying meal.
One of the reasons why pork ribs are a must-try dish in Bali is because of the quality of the ingredients and processes. Bali is known for its high-quality pork, and the pork ribs here are no exception. The pigs are usually raised in small farms, and the meat is free from hormones and antibiotics. This means that the meat is not only delicious, but also healthy.
Another reason why pork ribs are a must-try dish in Ubud is because of the local cooking techniques. The dish is usually slow-cooked over a wood fire, resulting in a smoky and aromatic flavor. The spices used in the marinade are also unique to the region, giving the dish a distinct Balinese flavor.
WHAT MAKES WARUNG PONDOK MADU’S BBQ RIBS UNIQUE?
The BBQ ribs are also cooked using a special technique with firewood that ensures that they are tender and juicy. The cooking process takes time, but it’s worth the wait. Usually we could take 10 – 12 hours to prepare the pork ribs that customers indulge. The end result is a dish that is packed with flavor and falls right off the bone.
