Ready for this Blado food quiz?

Let’s see how many dishes you can recognize.

Guess #1: The Crispy One

Here is your first close-up.

You can see:

• Fried rice
• Pieces of pork belly
• Crackers
• Acar

The rice carries a distinct Indonesian and Balinese character, while the pork belly adds a richer component to the plate.

The crackers bring crunch, and the acar adds another contrast to the dish.

Your Guess?

Is it:

A. Nasi Campur Bali
B. Nasi Goreng Pork Belly
C. Beef Rendang
D. Sate Lilit

The Answer: Nasi Goreng Pork Belly

Blado’s Nasi Goreng Pork Belly is a Balinese-style fried rice prepared with traditional spices and pork belly. It is served with crackers and acar.

It is also one of Blado’s confirmed best sellers.

That makes it one of the easiest local dishes to recommend when guests want something familiar but still connected to Balinese flavor.

Close-up clue to remember:
Fried rice + pork belly + crackers + acar.

Guess #2: The Grilled Local Favorite

Next close-up.

This time, there is no obvious fried rice.

Instead, you see grilled minced chicken, rice, sambal, fresh vegetables, and onion crackers.

The protein has been shaped and grilled rather than served as a standard chicken skewer.

What is it?

Your Guess?

Is it:

A. Sate Lilit
B. Sate Ayam
C. Ayam Panggang
D. Nasi Campur Iga

The Answer: Sate Lilit

Blado’s Sate Lilit uses minced chicken mixed with a homemade spice mix and grilled.

It is served with steamed rice, two types of sambal, fresh urab, and onion crackers.

The minced chicken is the key clue here.

Unlike a standard chicken skewer, Sate Lilit uses minced chicken with its own seasoning before being grilled.

The supporting ingredients also make the dish easy to recognize once you know what to look for.

Close-up clue to remember:
Minced chicken + homemade spice mix + grilled + two sambals.

Guess #3: The Slow-Cooked One

Now this one may be harder.

Your close-up shows tender beef surrounded by a rich-looking sauce.

There is no crispy skin.

No grilled skewer.

No fried rice.

The dish is served with steamed rice and is built around slow cooking, coconut milk, lemongrass, galangal, and spices.

Can you identify it?

Your Guess?

Is it:

A. Pork Rib
B. Beef Rendang
C. Crispy Duck
D. Nasi Campur Bali

The Answer: Beef Rendang

This is Beef Rendang.

Blado’s version is a slow-cooked Indonesian beef stew prepared with coconut milk, lemongrass, galangal, and spices. It is served with steamed rice.

The preparation itself is the main clue.

Rather than relying on a crispy or grilled finish, Beef Rendang develops its character through slow cooking and a rich combination of coconut milk and spices.

For guests who want an Indonesian dish with a deeper, slow-cooked flavor profile, this is one of the local options on the Blado menu.

Close-up clue to remember:
Slow-cooked beef + coconut milk + lemongrass + galangal + spices.

Guess #4: The Crispy Duck

Now we are moving to something with a very different texture.

Your close-up shows crispy duck alongside steamed rice.

You can also spot sambal, onion crackers, and fresh urab.

The important question is:

Which duck dish are you looking at?

Your Guess?

Is it:

A. Bebek Bakar Hitam
B. Crispy Duck
C. Nasi Campur Iga
D. Beef Rendang

The Answer: Crispy Duck

This one is Crispy Duck.

Blado prepares the marinated duck by cooking it slowly until tender, then frying it until crispy.

It is served with steamed rice, two types of sambal, onion crackers, and fresh urab.

The word “crispy” is the important clue.

There is another duck dish on the menu, Bebek Bakar Hitam, but its preparation and accompaniments are different. Bebek Bakar Hitam is slow-cooked and grilled until smoky, then served with steamed rice, black paste, and mango salad.

So if the close-up clearly shows a crispy fried finish with sambal, urab, and onion crackers, you are looking at Crispy Duck.

Close-up clue to remember:
Crispy duck + steamed rice + two sambals + fresh urab + onion crackers.

Guess #5: Can You Recognize the Whole Plate?

This is probably the hardest one.

Instead of focusing on one protein, look at the whole plate.

You can see:

• Steamed rice
• Crispy fried pork belly
• Chicken sate lilit
• Shredded chicken with sambal matah
• Fresh urab
• Grilled prawn
• Onion crackers

There are several proteins and accompaniments on the same plate.

What is it?

Your Guess?

Is it:

A. Nasi Goreng Pork Belly
B. Sate Lilit
C. Nasi Campur Bali
D. Crispy Duck

The Answer: Nasi Campur Bali

This is Blado’s Nasi Campur Bali.

It is the restaurant’s signature dish that brings several Balinese flavors together in one plate.

The combination includes steamed rice, crispy fried pork belly, chicken sate lilit, shredded chicken with sambal matah, fresh urab, grilled prawn, and onion crackers.

That variety is the biggest clue.

Unlike Nasi Goreng, where fried rice is the main foundation, Nasi Campur allows several individual components to remain visible and distinct on one plate.

Nasi Campur Bali is also one of Blado’s confirmed best sellers and hero products.

For guests who want to try several local flavors in one order, that variety makes it a useful introduction to the Blado menu.

Close-up clue to remember:
Rice + pork belly + sate lilit + shredded chicken + sambal matah + urab + prawn + crackers.
