About Babi Guling RBG

Denpasar pork purists bypass the highway spots and head down a residential alley for Babi Guling RBG. Plates come straight from the family kitchen—skin that snaps, skewers off the coals, and meat tossed in bumbu sere lemo. Neighborhood regulars fill the porch for fair prices and quick service. For the braised pig's ear, morning pots run dry by 11:00 AM.

  • Traditional Roast Pork Platters: Plates stacked with crispy skin, pork satay, and family-recipe bumbu sere lemo.
  • Morning Pig's Ear Special: Braised pig's ear stew made daily in limited quantities that sell out before 11:00 AM.
  • Courtyard Dining: Breezy open-air seating on a house porch and floor mats tucked down a quiet dead-end alley.

Beyond the menu

Personalized spice levels, custom component orders, and relaxed courtyard verandah dining set the tone—plan your morning visit to experience them firsthand.

  • Bespoke Heat Calibration at the Counter

    Diners can request custom spice levels directly at the ordering counter, allowing the kitchen to moderate the fiery traditional bumbu base to individual tolerance.

  • Flexible À La Carte Component Ordering

    Beyond standard mixed rice platters, diners can order standalone portions of individual components—including satay sticks, kuah balung, or lawar—to tailor their meal.

  • Traditional Verandah and Lesehan Seating

    Guests are welcomed into an intimate, tree-shaded family courtyard featuring low-table floor seating (lesehan) and breezy open-air house verandahs.

  • Limited Morning-Batch Pig's Ear Specialty

    The kitchen crafts a coveted, limited morning batch of kuping nyat-nyat (braised pig's ear) available exclusively to early patrons arriving before 11:00 AM.

Frequently Asked Questions

How does ordering and payment work?

Place your order directly at the storefront counter, take an open seat at the tables or on the shaded porch, and staff will bring your food over. Payment can be settled at the cashier afterwards, primarily in cash or via local bank transfer.

Can you drive and park a car here?

While vehicles can reach the alley, the road accommodates only one car at a time, making meeting oncoming traffic difficult. Limited parking is available near the entrance, but larger spaces are located nearby at Puri Gelogor or street areas before walking in.

How spicy is the food, and are there specialty dishes?

Balinese babi guling is naturally spicy due to the traditional base genep spices and sambal, though you can request a less spicy preparation when ordering at the counter. For unique regional flavors, try the bumbu sere lemo or specialty braised pork dishes like kikil nyat-nyat and limited pig's ear (kuping nyat-nyat).
