1. Double Dragon Temple

Double Dragon dumplings in Ubud Bali

Double Dragon Temple is a great dumpling spot down one of Ubud’s art market streets. This Ubud restaurant is very easy to miss if you are not on the lookout for it. 

Dumplings come as boiled or pan-fried; I prefer boiled. Pork and prawn were my favourites, but the chicken and mushrooms ones weren’t bad. Sesame noodles are delicious, too. $160 000 for a set of 30 dumplings

2. Babi Guling Gung Cung

Babi Guling Gung Cung specializes in Balinese suckling pigs. The dish consists of all parts of the pig cooked over an open fire. Tender meat with blood sausage, crackling, fried offal, and pork belly with soup. 

They say that the owner and Chef is the son of the Ibu Oka chef made famous by Anthony Bourdain. I cannot attest to the truth of that but the suckling pig is melt-in-your-mouth delicious and packed with flavour.

The full meal is $ 70,000 and gets cheaper if you are willing to pass on the soup. And some fixings. Babi Guling Gung Cung is one of the most popular places with the locals. Come early before they sell out.

3. You & Mie Noodle House

You & Mie Noodle House is a unique noodle restaurant in Ubud that serves up more than just nasi goreng. Dragon fruit and beetroot noodles are just two of the specialties of this tiny noodle spot serving up delicious dishes in Ubud.

They make their own noodles, wontons, and broth in-house.  Noodles are not the only thing on the menu; the fried chicken was delicious and reminded me of Korean style, but a little sweeter. The friendly owner speaks perfect English and is culinary school-trained.

Indonesia Trip Planning Recommendations

Accommodation

  • Booking.com. This is my number 1 app for booking hotels. They have the best selection, trusted reviews, and the more you book, the larger the discount you receive.
  • Hostelworld, I love renting a private room at a hostel; it’s the best of both worlds.
  • I like to compare Vrbo and Airbnb when I’m searching for a house or an apartment to rent.
  • Agoda has crazy discounts, but I have booked two listings with them that were not as advertised. I have over a dozen good bookings with them, and their selection in Southeast Asia is massive. I recommend using Agoda combined with Google reviews of the property, 

Flights

  • Skyscanner scans multiple airlines to compare flight deals.
  • Traveloka is an Indonesian travel company that has sales on airfare and accepts international credit cards. 

Tours and Excursions

  • Klook is my go-to for tours, day trips, personal tours and event tickets anytime I’m in Asia.
  • Viator is my second choice for tours, cruises, and day trips in Indonesia.
