Ubud

Ubud is a town in central Bali, Indonesia, considered the arts and culture center of the island. This restaurant mimics Ubud's atmosphere. The outer part of the restaurant has two big pieces of white "ivory"-like scrulpture. The inside part has individual rough cut stone bricks wall, stacked and cemented layer by layer. We went there for dinner to celebrate Jocelyn birthday.


Steam rice in basket


Entree: Calamari Rambutan $8. Deep fried stuffed calamari in batter. In Indesian, rambutan means hairy. Probably this dish is named Calamari Rambutan because the calamaris were rolled in noodle and look as if they have hair.


Kwetiau Goreng $10.50. Rice noodles stir fried with Chicken.


Kangkung Cah $11.90. Stir fried water spinach with shrimp paste.
This was awesome. The shrimp paste taste was mild and has a strong garlic taste.


Martabak Telor $7. Indonesian style crepe with beef, shallots and egg (crispy fried). This is not as good as original martabak. The real martabak telor should be crispier and come with sweet and sour dipping sauce.


Beef Rendang $14.9. Indonesian traditional beef curry.


Gado Gado $11. Steamed mix vegetables with peanut sauce.


Sayur Asam $7.90. Sweet sour vegetable soup. This vegetable soup is a must-have item on the menu of every West Java (Sundanese) restaurant in Indonesia. It uses tamarind as the soup base. The soup is a bit disappointing. I have never tasted good Sayur Asam in Sydney.


Ayam Goreng Ubud $11.90. Fried chicken Ubud Style. Itcomes with sambal chilli. Since noone liked it, I finished the small plate of sambal chilli. It was great with the chicken.


Ayam Bumbu Ubud $14. Grilled chicken with special Ubud sauce. This was the last dish. By the time the dish reached out table, everyone was already so full.


Spot that last piece of grilled chicken? It went to my stomach as soon as I finished taking this photo.
