Bubur Mengguh
Once the bowl of Bubur Mengguh is placed in front of you, you can easily tell - from sight, smell and taste - why this dish is considered a Balinese comfort food.
The combination of the savoury and sweet flavours create a taste that’s unique and addicting. Bubur Mengguh is a creamier version of the Bubur Ayam. Coconut milk is the secret to the creamy features of this rice porridge. This hearty dish is often topped with peanuts, beans and bits of grilled chicken cooked with galangal and bay leaves. A special sauce - made of hazelnuts, coriander, shallots, pepper, turmeric and brown onion - accompanies this dish. If you prefer more cream to your soup you can always ask for a bowl of coconut milk. |
