December 11th, 2016. I heard about this place even before it opened. LOL. Yes, I know the owners. I met them on May 2016 when they searched for a spot for their restaurant. And when I knew that they got the place, opened a restaurant, I was very happy. Finally, I visited them. Pork Star.

One of the owner of Pork Star was actually my Instagram buddy @nestdarmawan. When he came to Indonesia from Singapore, he brought his brother who happens to be a chef @andrisjuliawan. The chef has a girlfriend (now: wife) and introduced her to me @shantyjp. So I knew all 3 of them, hooraaaay. That’s why I had to try their food when I came to Bali. It’s a must.

Located in Nakula Street, it’s very easy to find because the colour of their container. It’s pink. Well, I never asked them why they chose pink colour. But I guess, it’s because pork is pink. Remember Miss Piggy? Piglet? LOL.

BITES

Pork Dynamite 38k

Mozzarella Cheese Wrapped with Pork Bacon

Love it. Even though one of my friends didn’t like it, but I love it! Well, maybe because we ate it when it’s already cold, so the cheese wasn’t as melted as we hoped. But it tasted so good, I had this urge to order it again, but I didn’t do it. Too much pork in my blood hahahahaha

MAIN COURSE

Pork Star’s Pork Belly 50k

Pork Belly with Steamed Rice or French Fries (or with Butter Rice additional 5k)
choice of sauce: Truffle of Blackpepper

It was one of the best pork belly! Well, I never liked roasted pork. It’s always hard to chew. But this pork belly.. an exceptional. It was tender and juicy and appetizing. The roasted skin was extraordinary. I could enjoy it very much. Just like I said before, everybody made it hard for me to chew the skin. But this one.. ugh.. marvelous! We chose Truffle sauce. And it was really really a hellacious choice. DABEST! Ooh, don’t forget to try their butter rice. Fantastic! Even though, I prefer steamed rice for this one. It will enhanced the truffle sauce flavour. Maybe for butter rice, you should try blackpepper sauce. Next time lah.🙂

Nasi Campur Pork Star 48k

Steamed Rice with 4 Kinds of Pork (Babi Sambal Matah, Babi Sambal Hijau, Babi Rica-rica, and Dendeng)

Another best dish at Pork Star. One dish with 4 flavours. You could try all the good pork in the meal. They were all delicious in their own way. Even though I only tried the dendeng because it’s the one without sambal. LOL. But, the dendeng was scrumptious. I think I will try another dish when I come to Pork Star. I will come. Soon! Cannot wait!!!

Like I said before, I will come back to Pork Star. Be prepare, tummy! Hahahaha.. I think I will try all their menu. I will bring my husband’s super power tummy. LOL. Wait for us!
