Babi Guling/ Suckling pig
Babi Guling/ Suckling pig
The most popular Balinese dish is pig suckling.
This food is the food that used to be the most expensive food in the 90s.
Suckling pig is the most famous and most expensive food at the moment. The taste of this food is really delicious.
I still remember that at that time it was very rare to sell this pig suckling because it was very expensive at that time. Only rich people could reach it, not like today. In the village we can enjoy this food if there is a certain ceremony that uses suckling pig as the main meat.
We are local people, almost everyone can make this food because in our social activities, which is a tradition of helping each other between residents, which is an obligation for every resident, every invitation is to help those who are having a celebration, we cook this.
The time to cook suckling pig can take up to 4 hours depending on the pork used. The process is very complicated and the materials required are very large.
After it is cooked, we will use this suckling pig as the main meat for offerings in ceremonies where it is used as a thank you for something they have achieved (in the process of offering whatever we eat as thanks for a certain gift that a certain person has achieved, before eating it)
After the ceremonial procession, we ate suckling pig together, which made our relationship in the village even closer.
The herbs and spices used to achieve maximum suckling pig cooking results are very complicated. but the results do not betray the process, it is natural that the process is long and complicated which feels very good.
Nowadays, this suckling pig dish is very easy to find in every region with varying prices. I need to suggest that those of you who like to explore culinary delights from people other than Bali should first look for information about which local restaurants provide fresh suckling pork.
Usually these restaurants are crowded with customers, which is why they have fresh food. If you choose wrongly, you can get food that has been cooked several days before because that is our tradition.
For us local Balinese, it won't have any effect, but foreigners will usually experience stomach problems, especially those who have very sensitive stomachs because of the bacteria contained in food that has been cooked several days before, even though we have reheated it.
Try it if you are a culinary lover, you will definitely fall in love with this dish.
and for Muslim brothers, please ignore it because this dish has haram status and is not recommended.
