“The night market and food tour was very interesting, and thanks to Putu we had a good time and food that we wouldn't have tried on our own. Also the two night market places are definitely not places we would have found and been to on our own. They are really local, no tourists there and all the food is very authentic. We started our tour with a restaurant that served suckling pig, which we wanted to try. Beware, very spicy sauces and soup on the side! Then on the two night markets we tried different specialties, we liked the tuna and the Terang Bulan (dessert) very much!”
