The Ubud Restaurants Experience

---

One of the major events in my Bali trip was enjoying the local food. From the not-to-be-missed (as stated in some travel books) Ibu Oka babi guling, the Murni's Warung, Wayan Batu, Cafe Wayan, Bebek Bengkel, Bali Buddha, Cafe Lotus, Lotus Lane etc. to the less known Biah Biah, Bridge Cafe, Padi to the local food stall without a name on the road sides selling nasi campur, bakso, or dessert. A meal can be as expensive as 20USD or as cheap as less than 1USD per peson. I didnt try the French cuisine here (some said Bali has some of the best French cuisinier here) coz I believe in Malaysia we can have some good ones too.

After trying most of the so called recommended restaurants, the only taste I can still remember right now is the lamb soup I've tried on my way from Bejeng to Goa Gajah. The taste is hot, spicy and original....and it's just a food stall at the roadside without a name...(even some said these food are from Padang) but besides those well-known restaurants, local food in Bali is something really not-to-be missed!

Of course my favourite meals in Bali include my breakfast in Indra Prastha. Thanks to Gedek who woke up at 5 to prepare our breakfast every morning. The bakso I bought from a guy with a motorbike was delicious too. And the nasi campur I bought from the roadside (sold by a local lady, opened after dark, nearby the internet cafe on the same street with Bebek Bengkel 1) was delicious too! Some 'halal' food also not bad (mostly sold by non-Balinese, maybe by Musliml from Jawa) but it is not really Bali taste.

However, what really impressed me was the decoration of these famous restaurants which is so unique and sometimes has stlen the limelight of the food there. In Murni's Warung I didnt really enjoy the food but had paid all my attenton to the decoration. Lotus cafe and Cafe Wayan too have some beautiful decos and gardens. It's a worthwhile experience though seeing these restaurants really put some creativity in their decos which made each of them so unique and magnificent.

Seaside restaurants in Jimbaran.....the environment is perfect and the food is not bad, but the price is rediculous!

The lotus garden has stolen the limelight of the food.
