There is an expression: “If something is not in Bali, then you are just looking badly”. We were guided by the same slogan when creating the Bali.top website. 😁 And often visitors are faced with the fact that they cannot find their usual favorite products in stores. For example, after a couple of months I began to really miss caviar, lard and Borodino bread. I made a selection of my favorite places where you can find rare dishes and products in Bali.
Milk
So, the first thing tourists encounter: there is no normal milk, kefir, sour cream and even yogurt on the island. Strangely, even coconut milk is very rare here. There are yogurts, but they are so disgusting in taste and composition that hardly anyone except the locals drinks it. Sickeningly sweet, watery and more like white lemonade. In principle, they don’t know about cottage cheese and sour cream here. After some time, a solution was found. Great milk at an affordable price: MilkUp! .
Here you will find everything from fresh cow, goat or coconut milk to cottage cheese, cheeses, butter and Greek yogurts. Guys, kefir, drinks with probiotics and low fat products for those who are on a diet.
Bestseller prices:
- kefir 650ml - 46000IDR ($2.9)
- milk 950ml - 36000IDR ($2.3)
- sour cream 330ml - 66000IDR ($4.2)
- cottage cheese 400g - 89000IDR ($5.6)
I don't know about you, but while I was writing the article, I was already choking on saliva and ready to buy everything there! Products are presented in many stores in Bali, but since they are located mainly on the south coast, you can order delivery to different parts of the island, including Amed! Shipping costs from 10 to 300 thousand rupees.
Caviar
The New Year is approaching and, of course, out of habit we imagine a large plates of various goodies, champagne, tangerines and sandwiches with caviar. But in Bali, things are not so simple. I haven’t seen caviar in stores, but there are a couple of suppliers on Instagram. So, gift-wrapped black caviar with delivery around the island: Caviar_Bali.
This one also has red caviar and free shipping: Ikra na Bali.
Farm Organic Vegan Products
If you need chocolate, cocoa, cereals and nuts, homemade cakes, teas, including oolong, matcha and ayurvedic teas, sauces, pasta and whatnot, then you will definitely find it in Bali Buddha. This is a cafe where everything is prepared from fresh organic products. They have vegan and vegetarian menus and the option to swap out some items for gluten-free options. But they also have a store with some really cool stuff.
In addition to food, they sell delicious desserts.
Here are the prices of some products:
- chickpeas 500g 60000IDR ($3.8)
- cashew butter 169000IDR ($10.8)
- bitter chocolate 79000IDR ($5)
- agave syrup 77000IDR ($4.9)
- Arabica 250g 47000IDR (3$)
- balsamic 250ml 73000IDR ($4.6)
- gluten-free fusili pasta 400g 80000IDR ($5)
Everything else from the experience can easily be found in one of the popular supermarkets: Frestive, Pepito, Carefour. I met red fish there, and a huge selection of vegetables and fruits, several varieties of mushrooms, meat, chicken and fish. Well, now you definitely won't go hungry! And I ran to order cottage cheese😁
