Stopover along the way to Kintamani for a lunch eating Babi Guling. The most forbidden menu but the most delicious on the island of Bali. The pig is stuffed with base genep and slow-roasted on an open fire until the skin is crispy and the meat succulent. Babi guling is usually carved into thin slices with the aromatic base genep giving a comprehensive earthy note balanced with the salty and savoury flavours of the pork.

Babi Guling is more well-known as "Be Guling" in Bali. Actually, Be Guling can be made of other meats such as duck or chicken. Babi Guling is a kind of dish made of a whole suckling pig. It is cooked by taking out its whole bowel and stuffed the inside with spice paste and vegetables such as cassava leaf, then grilled and rolled over a charcoal made from dried coconut shells until it is well-done. Babi Guling was originally made as a ritual offering in Balinese traditional ceremonies as well as religious ceremonies. But nowadays, it can be found in many restaurants and certain hotels in Bali area.
