Ayam taliwang
Ayam bakar taliwang
Lombok's best-known dish takes its name from the Taliwang quarter of Mataram. A young chicken is grilled over charcoal after marinating in red chilli, garlic, shallots and shrimp paste, and served with spicy water spinach (plecing kangkung). You can ask for a milder version.
