This restaurant is a hidden diamond in Ubud. It’s run by a very warm family and the owner’s daughter, Miss Putu, is a lovely lady who has inherited her mother’s recipes and modify them into a more consistent with the public taste.
I just love love their chicken satay sooo much ❤️ I’ve tried many restaurants in Ubud and I could say Warung Balok has the BEST chicken satay in Ubud !!
Unlike most restaurants, they use chicken legs instead of chicken breast, which makes the chicken so tender and juicy! Besides, instead of applying soy & peanut sauce like what I have tried in other restaurants, I could really taste the hint of difference spices in my month which is perfectly flavored! And of course they also provide peanut sauce on the side as an option. Therefore, you could taste two different flavors! ( I personally prefer the original flavor 💕)
Except for the chicken satay, I’ve also tried their fried rice, chicken soup with rice noodles, fried banana and they are also very yummy!!
I have returned to this restaurant multiple times and I think this has said...
Read moreThis place is conveniently located right across the street from where I'm staying, so I decided to give it a try. They serve local food, and I ordered the rice with vegetables and fried chicken. Since I need a lot of protein, I asked for an extra piece of chicken. The portion size was generous, and the chicken was delicious. It wasn’t the typical American-style crispy fried chicken, but it was full of flavor and the meat was moist. It was the best fried chicken I've had among the local options so far.
The rice was also good, and it came with a spicy sauce, possibly a spicy peanut sauce. If you're not into spicy food, you might want to ask for a milder version. The owner was very friendly and engaging, and the staff was pleasant. Overall, I had a great experience and look forward to eating...
Read moreThis is truly a secret find and the most underrated little spot of Ubud.
If you happen to be in Ubud or passing Jalan Suweta on the way to Tegalalang or Kintamani, this small warung is worth visiting.
Not only it’ll satisfy your stomach, it will warm your soul and put the biggest smile on your face. The food is simple, yet very tasty and you can’t help but ask for a second helping.
The little lady who runs the place, Putu has the sweetest smile and warmest heart of all, is accompanied by her little brother who commands the kitchen and run a small banana fritter stall in the front. He serves tasty fried goodness that is crunchy in the outside and juicy inside that is popular among locals and foreigners alike.
Definitely will come again,...
