Nasi Campur

Nasi campur can be found at many warungs (local eateries) and restaurants throughout the island. The dish is mainly white rice served with many different elements of Balinese delights, from a bit of babi buling or betutu as the main meats, together with mixed vegetables and a dab of the iconic spicy hot sambal. For those who do not want it spicy, simply ask for it without the sambal.

Babi Guling
