Bali Street food
by Miss Boss on Aug.22, 2009, under Food
One of my favorite Indonesian Street Food is “Bakso” / also known as “Baso”.
Bakso cart
Its Indonesian version of meat balls; usually beef / chicken / fish mixed with flour. Some other “bakso” variations are meatballs in tofu, meatballs in crispy fried dough, etc, etc. [all yummieee… I swear!!!]
A meal of “Bakso is usually a bowl of chicken / beef soup; plus vermicelli noodles (rice noodles) or yellow flour noodles, some bean sprouts, onion leaves, fried onions, and of course, the “Bakso” itself.
This is not actually a spicy dish; just don’t put in any chili sauce. If you like it sweet then you can add some sweet sauce. Me personally, I’ll just add in a little chili sauce and that’s my perfect bowl of “Bakso”.
I totally recommend eating Bakso and a bowl with “Es-teller” literally means “Faint Ice”; a bowl of cold ice desert, so good it’ll make you faint (shaved ice + sweet condensed milk + coconut meat + avocado + jackfruit + some jelly).

On the street, a bowl of “bakso” + “Ice teller” would cost you around Rp10,000,- to Rp15,000,- (US$ 1-2).
In the café’s or shopping malls it’ll be 2 to 3 times of that price. But of course, it’s definitely cleaner [if you are afraid to get Bali belly / stomach ache].
Personally, the ones on the street taste better. But if you are a foreigner and you want to eat on the street, please eat at you own risk. We Indonesians have ’stronger’ belly you see….
