When we go to the North East of Denpasar, the capital of
Bali, takes about half hour we will arrive at the beautiful small town called
Gianyar. If we see the huge white Garuda Wisnu Kencana Statue, that means we
are entering Gianyar Town, capital of Gianyar regency
Gianyar is one of nine regencies among Bali province, well
known as the home town of artist because in this regency has born some world
class artist such us Gusti Nyoman Lempad
master of painting, Made Jimat master of traditional dance, Nyoman Winten
master of sculptures and many more
In Yogyakarta, the most popular place is Jalan Malioboro,
but in Gianyar, the place that has been well known as the land mark of Gianyar
is Pasar Senggol, Traditional Night Market. It’s open daily from four in the
afternoon till eleven in the evening. At Pasar Senggol Gianyar we will find
huge varieties of Bali’s traditional food, such us Babi Guling or suckling pig,the best Babi guling on the
island. Betutu, roasted chicken or duck, Jukut Ares, vegetables made from the
banana trees, sromotan, mix vegetables with spicy sous and also many kind of Balinese
cakes like kelepon, laklak, lukis and bulung
But, At Pasar Senggol Gianyar we will also find some clothes
and other things for house holding like frying pan, rice basket and even DVDs. Some
times at DVD shop we can enjoy some Balinese song or even Julio Eglesias, just
ask them they will very happy to play it for us. This complex located at the
southern side of the market and at the northern side is special for food only.
We can take a walk or even try some food that we like, and
enjoy the atmosphere of Balinese life. see how they making the food, how they
eat, how they sell something and how they bargain the price.
It will be
unforgettable experience for us especially for those who live at western world.
