Balinese cuisine. Beautiful view. Budget price.
Pros:
- A good place for those who want to try traditional Balinese cuisine. It is simple in preparation and serving, no need to expect frills, this is how ordinary Balinese people eat
- There are local desserts and drinks on the menu; right in the cafe they bake the Balinese favorite lak-lak pancakes, you can watch the process. They turn out an interesting green color due to the addition of natural dye from the pandan plant.
- interesting design and the view is beautiful
- the cafe is close to the popular Tegallalang rice terraces
- very cheap, prices include taxes
- Bonus: very close by (5 min. by transportation), is the local village of Petulu, where you can observe the life of herons in the wild. A tip is to arrive at sunset, then you are likely to see hundreds of herons returning home. Well a good place to watch the sunset if you are lucky (may you be lucky). You can read more about herons here.
Cons:
- Small menu, the selection of main courses is quite small, only 3 dishes; sometimes you run out of dishes and there is no choice at all. Portions are designed for locals, if you want to have a big meal, order several dishes (and don't forget about desserts, they are hearty).
What to try?
There was no choice, so we were able to try one main course:
1. Bubuh Bali - rice porridge with chicken “gravy”, stewed vegetables, fried peanuts and boiled egg.
2. But the dessert was very good. Really good, not everywhere local sweets are delicious.
Jaja Bali is a mix of Balinese desserts, we had lak lak fritters and sticky rice with bananas. Can vary depending on availability of desserts.
3- Daluman is a Balinese soft drink made of herbal jelly with coconut milk and palm sugar syrup. Sweet and hearty, the flavor is remotely reminiscent of ais coffee. It's worth a try!
