Sayan Night Market in Ubud, Bali, Indonesia

After two days of spending most of our time at the resort or on a resort organized tour, my friend was itching to go into the town and get a taste of the local markets and the street food! Sayan Night Market, located in the village of Sayan just a 20 minute drive away, was the perfect solution.

The market draws both locals and visitors. We saw colorful arrays of stalls selling traditional Balinese painting, clothing , handmade crafts, and more.

We caught the market right before sunset, where it had cooled down a bit but we could still see all the beautiful colors.

Street Food at Sayan Night Market

As night fell, we headed to the food part of the night market to taste some local street food!

The market was filled with all sorts of people (we definitely saw locals, but also LOTS of foreigners). On the one hand, it made me feel more comfortable that foreigners could eat here (and not get sick). It must be pretty clean, right?

I ate all sorts of stuff, including salads, noodle soups, and a cold fruit juice smoothie that was blended on the spot. I did not have any digestive issues. Everything was clean, and delicious!

My favorite (from the stalls that had the longest lines) was this phenomenal egg omelet filled with pork and scallions. Look how amazingly thin the egg “pancake” is!

It’s served at this tiny stall, and it’s just this one guy making them (one at a time).

So it definitely takes patience.

Because each omelet takes quite a few minutes to make.

But it’s sooooo good! People just sort of hang out around the stall, sitting on little plastic stools, devouring the omelet while it’s hot.

Meanwhile, the omelet maker’s wife also painstakingly makes this griddle cake of sorts?

She was also painstakingly making them one at a time.

Some of the “pancakes” are filled with some sort of filling (black rice, maybe?).

All sorts of different types of meat and fish balls.

It was really fun to visit Sayan Night Market and get a sense of what the locals eat. The prices are ridiculously cheap, and you can certainly get very full for probably less than USD5 (definitely less than $10!) while sampling a lot of really interesting flavors!
