Hawaii Bali

Our dinner spot on the first day of tour was Hawaii Bali, where we were treated to authentic Balinese cuisine. Here's how it looks:

Location: Prolly somewhere around the Anyer Province area, there is a souvenir shop just right next door of the same name as well for people to shop after their meal

Stairways to food heaven

Setting: A slightly opened aired restaurant with the windows open and just a bit of fan for cooling here and there. Reminds me of a Middle Eastern type of restaurant, but with a hint of Hawaii

Le table

It's a full-course meal of Balinese cuisine, so we totally dug into that. Here's what we were served:

Some kind of peanut soto soup

Steamed white rice

Fried sambal prawn

Broiled broccoli with mushroom in black sauce

Deep fried cuttlefish

Sambal kangkung

Grilled chicken with spicy sauce

Pattaya egg omelet

The food tastes pretty good and familiar, since it's basically Asian dishes that we more or less can get back home, but they do have a twang of spice and acidity in it that makes it different from the rest. Love the kangkung and the egg omelet though. Those were amazing, and the soup tastes pretty unique. Who knew soto soup goes well with peanuts?
