The Tempayan at Tanah Gajah, a Resort by Hadiprana — Restaurant in Bali

Please, for the love of Bali, do not eat here. We got there at 5:30pm and was told dinner menu does not start till 7pm, but that we can eat off the lunch menu. We get the lunch menu and was SHOCKED at the prices. We crossed our fingers and ordered anyway since the reviews were so good. I thought that the food will reflect the prices. Wow, we were so wrong.

We got two appetizers, the Sate lilit and papaya salad with grilled prawns. One main, seafood curry. For drinks a small bintang and non-alcoholic mango lassi.

We asked for the food to come out as prepared, not all at once. But they brought it all out at once anyway. As soon as the food was set down, we were swarmed by flies. By the time they got the candles lit, it was too late. We lost our appetite since the flies touched every food item on the table. That's ok, they can't control the flies, but they could have not brought it all out at once, like asked, and lit the candles beforehand like they do at every other restaurant in Bali. Maybe the food will still taste good, right?

Did we really just spend 200k on FOUR shrimps and bland papaya salad?? Lilit were so small it was one bite each. But the worst offense was the seafood curry. I've never had curry so bland and watery. For 300k you would think it would at least taste good.

When we were done with the meal, it became very awkward since they probably could tell how upset we were from the meal being only half eaten. They offered complimentary ice cream which was good, but could not redeem the 1,000k we just wasted on the meal. So sad since this was our last meal in Bali. We wanted to splurge and get a really nice farewell meal. We were severely disappointed since we've been consistently getting very good meals everywhere else for less than 500k....
