A traditional Balinese Cuisine![]() Bebek Betutu, literally means duck cooked in banana leaf it it one of the most traditional Balinese cuisines which not only taste delicious but is usually prepared and presented to the almighty God, Ida Sang Hyang Widhi during temple ceremonies and religious rituals. The Balinese have great admiration towards the duck and considers it to be a strong animal, as it is one of the animals able to survive on land as well as water besides the turtle. A mixture of local Balinese herbs, spicess
and fragrant roots adds a rich flavor to the duck. A taste that reminds
the visitors of their reason to visit Bali, to taste the rich spices from
the east. The presentation of Bebek Betutu is unique and the cooking method
is one of a kind in Bali. This is the main reason why the local Balinese
chef are trying to maintain this traditional dish by introducing this local
cuisine to the foreign visitors on this island. It is frequently on the
menu at various restaurants hosting Balinese dishes. In some cases the
chicken can be used in exchange for the duck. But the name is then "Ayam
Betutu".
