Karangasem –
detikers may be unfamiliar with this satay. Rice satay is one of the typical culinary delights of Karangasem, Bali, precisely on the edge of Tianyar Beach, West Tianyar Village, Kubu District.
As the name suggests, this satay is made from rice. Unlike satay in general, which predominantly uses meat.
“The main ingredient is rice, this is the same as making rice crackers, only these are not dried in the sun and fried,” said rice satay seller, Luh Tabla, when met by detikBali at his stall some time ago.

Tabla explained that he had been selling rice satay for three years. At first he tried selling rice satay. “It’s been about 3 years since I was confused about what work to do, I tried it for fun until now,” added the 55 year old woman.
This rice satay has a unique taste. The chewy and tasty texture of the satay plus the thick Balinese yellow suna ceh spice makes it delicious when eaten. Especially when eating rice satay combined with fresh mixed ice.
Tabla explained that in one day he could make around 1 kilogram (kg) of rice satay and it was sold out. He starts selling from 15.00 WITA to 19.00 WITA.
“Sometimes it’s also not enough if the beach is busy. Moreover, on holidays (residents) return to their hometowns, up to 2 kg can be used up,” he said.

Tabla not only sells rice satay, but various other dishes. Such as tipat, fried foods, ice mix, and various snacks.
