Sun-kissed in #Bali wearing @eighthmermaid

Island wardrobe situation | Bali, Jan’ 19

Old photo from last year shot in Canggu - our Ally Macrame Tote is back in stock, handmade by local artisanal women in Java for @amestudio.co

Only in #Bali am I able to head out in my underwear, taking in some beautiful sunsets. Wearing the new @uniqlosg wireless bra beauty light for the perfect fit that takes the weight off my shoulders - I feel like I am floating.

If you ask me what is the one thing I love the most about Bali it will be Babi Guling. It is a dish that is unique to only Bali that comes in abundance here and almost no where else. It might sound unlikely with Indonesia being the largest Muslim population in the world but with Bali’s Hindu majority, no part of the glorious pig is spared. And you’ll see plenty of signs all over the island with a badly photoshopped roasted pig ripped off from google images with ‘Babi Guling’ under leading you to their warung (or eatery). The pig is slathered in a secret combination of herbs and spices, each that is distinctive to every warung. The whole pig then is basted with coconut milk and cooked to perfection for hours over a fire. What results is tender pulled pork and the crispiest pork rind. Served with rice and vegetables - this is a dish I love and dread because I sometimes feel like I leave Bali with clogged arteries. But if it’s anything, the goal for my next trip here is to to get hands dirty in learning to make this sacred dish because it is so damn delicious and it is everything about what this island is.
