In earlier times, overseas visitors chiefly came to Bali to sample the cultural and traditional delights of Bali rather than to taste Balinese cuisine. However, in synchrony with the gradual development of tourism on this island, Balinese food has now started to become popular among foreign tourists.Apart from chicken cooked with Balinese spices, ‘lilit’ satay dressed in grated coconut and roast suckling pig (‘babi guling’) are also popular among tourists. In fact, ‘babi guling’ has appealed to westerners’ tastes since Dutch colonial times in the early 1900’s.
