WHAT IS BABI GULING?

More than roast pork.

Babi Guling is one of Bali’s iconic dishes: pork, crackling, rice, lawar, sambal and accompaniments brought together as one complete plate.

The pleasure is not one flavour repeated. It is the movement between them — rich pork, crisp skin, spice, greens, coconut, rice and heat. One bite changes the next.

WHAT MAKES 3.0 KKO KKO?

We kept the contrast. Then rebuilt the plate through the way our kitchen cooks now.

Wood smoke. Deeper Balinese spice. More deliberate movement between richness, crackle, sambal, greens and rice.

Nine elements, but one idea: every component should make the next bite taste different.

01Wood-smoked pork belly
02Crackling pork skin
03House-made sausage
04Pork satay
05Smoked coconut lawar
06Cassava leaf curry
07Balinese sambal
08Fried peanuts
09Jasmine rice with aromatic Balinese spice oil

WHY SO MANY ELEMENTS?

Because the plate works through contrast.

The pork gets your attention. Everything around it changes how the next bite feels.

01

Richness

Wood-smoked pork belly and house-made sausage bring depth and richness.

02

Crackle

Crisp pork skin gives the plate its sharpest texture and the sound everyone waits for.

03

Freshness + texture

Smoked coconut lawar and cassava leaf shift the plate away from richness.

04

Heat + balance

Balinese sambal, aromatic rice and spice pull the elements back together.

HOW TO EAT IT

There is no one perfect bite.

Do not worry about eating every element separately. Move around the plate and change the balance as you go.

That is where Babi Guling becomes more interesting than simply pork and crackling.

  1. 01
    Start with the pork.

    Taste the smoke, richness and Balinese spice first.

  2. 02
    Add the crackling.

    Now the same bite changes through texture.

  3. 03
    Bring in sambal.

    Heat and sharpness wake everything up.

  4. 04
    Move to lawar or greens.

    They reset the richness before you build the next bite.

  5. 05
    Come back through the rice.

    Then start again differently.

THE SENSORY MOMENT

You smell the smoke first. Then you hear the crackle.

After that, the plate keeps moving — sambal, coconut, greens, rice, spice. The next bite should not feel exactly like the last.

WHY THIS DISH MATTERS

A dish tied to gathering and celebration in Bali.

Babi Guling has long held a place in Balinese ceremonies, celebrations and communal gatherings.

That context matters to us. We are not trying to reduce it to “crispy pork.” The crackling may be the first thing you notice, but the complete plate — spice, rice, lawar, sambal, vegetables and pork — is what gives the dish its identity.

Maybe this brings back Bali. Maybe you simply love crackling pork. Maybe you have never tried Babi Guling at all. Start with the plate.
