WARUNG WARUNG — Restaurant in East Nusa Tenggara

The location and the staff are lovely, but unfortunately cannot say the same about the food, which surely has to be improved: Fried noodles were covered in a way too much salty sauce which killed the taste of the homemade noodles itself. What a pity! The fresh coconut is served with a spoon to eat the internal part but was extremely bitter The biggest disappointment was the pumpkin salad (see photo), which was just regular salad with a few pieces of tasteless pumpkin and a sprinkle of feta cheese (but good seasoning though).
