And one day when he and his wife were sitting together on the beach in Candidasa near by the Batu Jaran sacred stone and closed his eyes, suddenly what appeared in front of him was not a Batu Jaran sacred stone surrounded by the sea, but an image of a large egg floating in the sea. When he opened his eyes the shadow of the egg disappeared and he saw the usual sight again.

Arriving home then he discussed with his wife and they then forgot about the phenomenon. But he still makes salted eggs for his family with the concoction he got from his ancestors.

Until a few years later, when he came to a Brahmin in Ubud, Gianyar, and told him about an incident that had happened years ago at Batu Jaran sacred stone, The Brahmin explained that he would find success in his life by processing eggs into salted eggs.

Somehow the next process is, what is clear is that now Nengah Surata has become a well-known maker of Salted Eggs in Candidasa.

The products are searched for and ordered and used as special gifts for Karangasem people who go to other districts in Bali, or Balinese who pass through the Candidasa area, even to Java. Many foreigners in Candidasa like his salted eggs. Astungkara. Good luck.

Consuming salted eggs is safe, but yes…just enough, don’t overdo it (especially for those who reduce salt intake in their menu)
