Souphoria — Restaurant in Bali

High expectation after reading the reviews but it turns out that the taste is not as good as in the reviews here. I tried their famous Crispy Pork Belly Sambal Matah, it’s not bad, the pork was crispy but too salty, greasy and hard to chew. I also order their Signature Pork Ribs Soup, it’s delicious but for me it’s too much MSG and tasted overall sour, I only got 3 pieces of small part of Ribs in it but the ribs were so tender and delicious. This place has no parking Area for car, so you have to park on the side of the road.. The place is small and you have to queue standing outside if crowded. The time taken for the food to be prepared was quite long, approx 30 - 45 mins and they have warned the customers as you can see it from the signs which hung everywhere. The price is a bit expensive in my opinion, Crispy Pork Belly Sambal Matah costs 50k IDR, Signature Pork Ribs Soup costs 60k IDR and Mineral Water 600 mL costs 10k IDR and all those prices exclude Service...

Coming from a Malaysian (who is used to robust flavours), take what I say with a pinch of salt.

Satay is just pork belly skewers rather than true satay where it is processed further (texture wise).

Green chilli soup was good. The rest of the dishes were pretty underwhelming, was expecting more flavors - dishes were rather monotonous.

The biggest let down was the service however - it seemed that the staff members were very unhappy at the time, this may be a reflection of their working environment, however I digress.

Had to walk over to the counter to get table service - otherwise we would've been sitting down on the table waiting for pigs to fly.

Overall, with the combination of lacklustre flavors and poor service, unless you're in the area desperate for food, I wouldn't recommend this place - save your money.

I believe if the service could be improved a bit more, it would've made the experience...

Got the rainbow pork bowl and it really surprised me — expected it to be super heavy with all the crispy pork, spam, and bacon, but it was actually a refreshing and well-balanced meal. The flavours were what you’d expect, but pork in Indonesia just hits differently — way better than if you had this in Australia, and the price made it totally worth it. Eggs were cooked perfectly, spam was tasty, the pork was more about that crispy texture than juicy meat, and the bacon was legit. There was a little chilli mix on the side — not sure if it was sambal or something else, but it was super fresh with a good kick. My cousin brought me here saying it was a must, and I’m glad I got to try it — definitely stood out from the other dishes I’ve had so far. Also gave the Balinese ribs a go, which were just okay — a bit of a letdown after the pork bowl. Food took around 10–15 mins but honestly,...
