What makes this Balinese specialty so popular, and how does the owner guarantee a 100% replacement if the product isn't crispy? Discover the secrets of deliciousness and dedication behind this authentic, now-viral flavor.
In one of the busiest corners of Denpasar City, precisely at Jl. Imam Bonjol No. 115, Pemecutan Klod, West Denpasar District , there is a stall selling pork products which are one of the most sought-after culinary delights by tourists today: Byang de Abi Pork Crackers.
When visiting the Island of the Gods, natural beauty and spiritual serenity are often the primary draws. However, no trip to Bali is complete without delving into its rich culinary adventures. This is where Byang de Abi Pork Crackers comes in, offering authentic Balinese flavors prepared with sincerity and dedication.
This savory culinary venture wasn't a quick fix. The owner explains that the pork cracker-making business is a legacy passed down through generations , starting with his grandmother and parents. As the next generation, he has a grand vision to expand this traditional family recipe so it can be enjoyed by a wider audience, beyond the borders of Bali.
Interestingly, the name "Byang de Abi" is not a name inherited from the previous generation, but rather a new identity created personally by the owner . "Byang means the mother of a caste wife. Coincidentally, I have separated from my husband. And Abi is the name of my son. So, 'Byang de Abi' has a very deep meaning for me, namely: Abi's Mother," said the owner. This name represents the struggle of a single mother in preserving the family heritage for the future of her child , while also being a symbol of affection that is reflected in every product packaging.
Byang de Abi Pork Crackers differs from other pork crackers due to its use of secret Balinese spices and rigorous traditional processing techniques . The owner emphasizes that the flavors of Balinese pork crackers vary widely, with some tending to be savory and salty, while others are slightly sweet. At his shop, the spice blend is specially designed to achieve an authentic, savory balance that penetrates deep into the pork skin.
The process of making these pork crackers is very lengthy and requires extraordinary patience. One crucial technique in making Balinese pork crackers is the alumin technique . The dried ingredients are first fried in semi-hot oil until slightly cooked . This step aims to lock in the spices and the crackers have a structure ready to bloom perfectly during the final frying. Due to the complexity of this process, it's no surprise that the resulting flavor and texture are so unique and difficult to replicate instantly.
