Babi Guling Pak Malen, Sunset Road

Raya

Hey foodies! If you find yourself in Seminyak, Bali, you absolutely have to check out Warung Babi Guling Pak Malen on Sunset Road. This place is a haven for pork lovers, and trust me, you won’t leave disappointed!

First off, let’s talk about the Nasi Campur. It’s served in a paper wrap, and it’s packed with flavor! One reviewer mentioned, “If you like spicy food, this is definitely for you! Six of us, with 45 NZ dollars in total, had the mix meat on rice, served in a plate layered up with a bamboo leaf. Yum! You will definitely need plenty of rice and a bottle of mineral water to balance the chillies!” So, if you can handle the heat, dive right in!

Now, I have to mention the service. While the food is top-notch, one visitor pointed out that there was a long queue and someone cut in front of them, which was a bit of a bummer. They said, “The server was fast and nice. The food itself is recommended, although it’s a little bit spicy. I would say that this is on par with the famous Karya Rebo. The price was also reasonable. 5 star from me.” So, just be prepared for a little wait, but it’s totally worth it!

The atmosphere is mostly outdoors, which can get pretty hot, especially during midday. One guest noted, “The food is flavorful, and the portion sizes are generous, making it a satisfying meal for pork lovers. However, the place can get quite hot, especially during midday, as the seating area is mostly outdoors with limited ventilation.” So, grab a seat in the shade if you can!

And let’s not forget about the star of the show: the babi guling. One review raved, “The babi guling is very crispy and sedap. The chili is very nice and hot. Try eat with and without to taste the differences.” Seriously, you have to experience the crispy goodness and the spicy kick for yourself!

Overall, Warung Babi Guling Pak Malen is a must-visit spot in Bali. With a food rating of 4.7/5.0 and a price range of around Rp50,000-75,000 per person, it’s a delicious deal. Just be ready for the heat and a bit of a wait, and you’ll be in for a treat!

So, let me take you on a little culinary adventure to Warung Babi Guling Pak Malen, located at Jalan Sunset Road No. 554, Seminyak, Bali. Now, if you’re wondering what Babi Guling is, it’s basically a party for your taste buds featuring roasted suckling pig. Yes, you heard that right! And trust me, it’s a party you don’t want to miss!

As I walked in, I was greeted by the aroma of marinated pork that could make even a vegetarian reconsider their life choices. I decided to go for the Nasi Campur, which is like a buffet on a plate. It’s got everything from rice to fried goodies, and I was ready to dive in like a kid in a candy store. But first, I had to navigate the self-serve seating situation. It’s like musical chairs, but with more sweat and less music.

Now, let’s talk about the food. One reviewer said, “My very first taste of Babi Guling! The juicy, succulent, marinated pork was such a pleasant welcome for our first meal.” And I couldn’t agree more! The pork was so juicy that I felt like I was in a romantic comedy, and it was the main character. But, alas, the crispy pork skin was more like a soggy blanket. I guess it decided to take a dip in the pool of disappointment. But hey, the Es Jeruk (Ice Orange Juice) was like a refreshing hug after a long day!

Another brave soul mentioned, “The food a bit cold but the pork seems special.” Cold food? More like a surprise party for my taste buds! But I could see the potential in the pork. It was like that friend who shows up late to the party but brings the best snacks. Just needed a little more effort, you know? Maybe they were just trying to keep it chill—literally!

Now, if you’re planning to visit, be prepared for a bit of a wait. One reviewer said, “Busy place, have to queue up to order.” It’s like waiting for a roller coaster ride, but instead of screaming, you’re just drooling over the thought of Babi Guling. And don’t forget, they only accept cash! So, leave your credit cards at home and bring some cash, or you might end up doing the walk of shame out the door.

Overall, I’d say Warung Babi Guling Pak Malen is a must-visit if you’re in Bali. Just remember, the food is good, the atmosphere is lively, and the service might require a little patience. But hey, good things come to those who wait, right? So grab your friends, your appetite, and get ready for a delicious adventure!
