Legong Dance Legong is a form of Balinese dance. It is a refined dance form characterized by intricate finger movements, complicated footwork, and expressive gestures and facial expressions.
Origin
Legong probably originated in the 19th century as royal entertainment. Legend has it that a prince of Sukawati fell ill and had a vivid dream in which two maidens danced to gamelan music. When he recovered, he arranged for such dances to be performed in reality. Others believe that the Legong originated with the sanghyang dedari, a ceremony involving voluntary possession of two little girls by beneficent spirits.
Barong Barong is a lion-like creature and character in the mythology of Bali, Indonesia. He is the king of the spirits, leader of the hosts of good, and enemy of Rangda, the demon queen and mother of all spirit guarders in the mythological traditions of Bali. The battle between Barong and Rangda is featured in Barong dance to represent the eternal battle between good and evil.
Origin Barong is portrayed as a lion with red head, covered in white thick fur, and wearing gilded jewelry adorned with pieces of mirrors. The shape of lion Barong is somewhat similar to a Pekingese dog. The origins of the Barong are far a back in time and quite uncertain. Its origins could be from animist worship, before Hinduism appeared, when villagers still believed in the supernatural protective power of animals.

Sate Lilit Sate Lilit is a satay variant from Balinese cuisine. This satay is made from minced pork, fish, chicken, beef, or even turtle meat, which is then mixed with grated coconut, thick coconut milk, lemon juice, shallots, and pepper. The spiced minced meat is wound around bamboo, sugar cane or lemongrass sticks, it is then grilled on charcoal. Unlike skewers of other satay recipes which is made narrow and sharp, the bamboo skewer of sate lilit is flat and wide. This wider surface allowed the minced meat to stick and settle. The term lilit in Balinese and Indonesian means "to wrap around", which corresponds to its making method to wrapping around instead of skewering the meat.
Mount Agung Mount Agung is a volcano in Bali in Indonesia, located south east of Mt Batur volcano, also in Bali. Gunung Agung stratovolcano is the highest point on Bali. It dominates the surrounding area, influencing the climate, especially rainfall patterns. Balinese believe that Mt Agung is a replica of Mt Meru, the central axis of the universe. One legend holds it that the mountain is a fragment of Meru brought to Bali by the first Hindus. The most important temple on Bali, Pura Besakih, is located high on the slopes of Gunung Agung.

Ayam Betutu This one is probably the only Balinese dish that’s most recognisable outside of the island, not only thanks to a certain franchise, but also because it’s kosher, making it more widely acceptable. What most people don’t know is that the dish is actually an adaptation of a similar dish from Banyuwangi, the most Eastern port city of Java. The short one-hour crossing trip to Bali’s Gilimanuk port allowed the recipe to make its way into the island, and thus the dish has become the destination area’s signature dish – which became more popular than in its hometown. The most obvious reason for that? It’s intensely spicier here – and obviously tastier.

Nasi Campur Indonesians can eat rice with anything, so it’s undeniable that with all the vibrant variations in its cuisines, every province still has its own mixed rice dish. Bali is even more interesting, because of the assorted selection of the meals. A babi guling dish and all its components are always set around one serving of rice on the plate, same goes with ayam betutu or bebek goreng – making all of them falls into the nasi campur category. But the most common variety comes with ayam sisit (shredded chicken), other meats that ranged from beef, chicken, to pork, a slice of boiled egg, sate lilit, urab salad, and sambal matah.

Bebek Goreng Ridiculously more popular than any other dishes on the list, Bali’s signature fried duck is well known for a few reasons. One: the crispy skin and succulent meat. Duck is tricky to cook, so getting it done perfectly is crucial. Two: flavoursome side dishes that include fresh urab salad with three kinds of sambal make most fried duck dishes. And lastly: a splendid setting and view of rice paddy fields whilst you eat. That’s why the whole Balinese fried duck scene started and reached the peak of fame at Ubud – and never really expanded to other regions of the island.
