Still about Bali, this time I gonna write a post about the
popular restaurant in Bali, NOOK. Tucked away at Seminyak area, this place become a
favorite restaurant to be visited, especially for tourists. However, even most
tables full of tourists, doesn’t mean it’s a tourist trap restaurant. I had a
lunch here when I was in Bali, and the food wasn’t bad at all! Even it becomes
my favorite place to eat in Bali.
As I was saying, NOOK located at Seminyak area. However, it's not located right in the middle of the crowd. It's located at North Seminyak, where you can find a different ambience. NOOK has a unique place. When mostly café and restaurant in Bali offers an ocean view or private beach, NOOK has something different to be offered. It’s one thing that makes me likes this place. This restaurant only has outdoor seating, and surrounded by paddy fields. Yes, a paddy fields! Can you imagine to have a breakfast or lunch with this green scenery?? It’s gonna be great especially if you feel bored with beach view.
Enough with the scenery around it, and let’s talk about the
food. We came to this restaurant at the lunch time, so we’re looking for some
“heavy” meals. Thankfully, unlike other café or restaurant in Bali which mostly
only have Western Food on their menu, NOOK also offers Indonesian food and it’s
perfect for lunch. We ordered Ayam Betutu and Soto Ayam, because we started to
missed Indonesian dishes (Indonesian food is the best!!)
While waiting for our meals, we saw that most people ate the
sandwiches, burger, and smoothie bowls. I asked the staff and they said it’s
their recommended menu. I felt curious with their sandwich and decided to order
it because it looks delicious.
Well, here’s the review of those meals.
Soto Ayam
For Indonesian people, Soto Ayam is not something special
and you want to eat on your holiday. We can find it everywhere because it’s
everyone’s favorite dish, including Aurelia. She loves Soto Ayam and that’s the
reason why we ordered it. Soto Ayam is an Indonesian chicken soup. It comes
with a clear broth mixed with tumeric for the soup, it’s really savory and
tasty. Anyway, if you eat Soto Ayam, don’t forget to put a squeeze of lime
juice. It’s gonna be taste much better.
Ayam Betutu
Since we’re in Bali, eat Balinese local food is a mandatory.
I love every kind of Balinese food, including ayam betutu (Betutu chicken).
Usually, I always eat this chicken dish at Ayam Betutu Khas Gilimanuk, the
original restaurant for Ayam Betutu. However, at that place they only serve
Ayam Betutu, and my children can’t eat it because it’s extremely spicy. So this
time we decided to eat this spicy chicken dish at NOOK.
Ayam Betutu IDR 60K |
Avocado Grilled Cheese Sandwich
Actually this is a breakfast menu. However it’s still
available until 2PM, and I’m so lucky still have a chance to order it because
this sandwich is the bomb!! It has a crispy bread, filled with avocado,
mushroom, spinach, and of course mozzarella cheese. But one thing that make this
sandwich special is the pesto sauce that they put to complete their
filling. Not just the sandwich, I
love the salad as well. It was really fresh, and the dressing was delicious.
Mango Lassie and Blushing Berry Beet
Great smoothies are something that you can get in every restaurant or cafe in Bali. That's why I always order smoothies to complete my meal. Since the weather was really hot at that day, we decided to order 2 glasses of fresh smoothies. I love them both my favourite is Mango Lassie. It's the best Lassie's ever!
Well, those are my honest review about this happening restaurant in Bali. All of their dishes so delicious, both for Western and Indonesian food. If I back to Bali, definitely I'll come back again and try their Nasi Campur, which is also a recommended dish at NOOK.
