Bebek Bengil (Dirty Duck)

Bebek Bengil, translated to English, means Dirty Duck. The signature dish of this restaurant is none other than dirty duck, done to perfect crisp. Highly recommended to be eaten with your hands. It might be a bit dry for French connoisseurs, but what the heck, we are in Bali! Other than the dirty duck, they also have local cuisine like nasi goreng (fried rice), nasi campur (mixed rice set). The mixed rice set is very delicious, and satisfying too.

This restaurant also prides itself on having the most unique ambience in the whole of Bali. It was built right next to a padi field, with open air huts spread out near the padi field and lotus ponds. The huts have low tables where we sat on the floor with many comfortable pillows to enjoy our meal, and the scenery. To get a place at the limited huts, reservation is highly recommended. Other than the sit-on-the-floor huts, there is also another section with cafe style decor, and another section with daybeds and sofas for pre-dinner cocktail. There is also live traditional music performances at one corner. This place looks amazing, especially during sunset, as the footpath around the restaurant to the padi field will be lit up with oil lamps. This restaurant has become a tourist attraction. Do pay a visit there, if not for the food, for the beautiful place.
