Your favorite budget eats
I thought I would start a post here about people's favorite budget restaurants.
Somehow for me, food tastes even better when it is good and I am not paying a lot for it :)
One place I recommend for pork lovers is Rumah Makan Muara Kobe in Kuta. The specialty is babi-panggang. They don't have a large menu, but everything on it is delicious.
The only downside is that the beer isn't too cold. It is owned by a Indonesian, from north Sumatra and his Japanese wife.
Definitely worth giving it a try if you want to try a taste from North Sumatra.
Rumah Makan Muara Kobe

Cab. Rm. Silindung P. Siantar Sumut,
Jl. Setia Budi No. 7, Kuta, Bali.

Give a man a fish and he will eat for a day. Teach a man to fish and he will sit in a boat drinking beer all day.

Hello spicy!!! I like the post!!
What about if people posting here mention as well the budget aproximately, for some of us probably that is something important to know as well if we want to try !!!
I love to eat in the pasar sengol in Gianyar market!! (hehehe 20.000 Rp)
In Ubud there is one road which is getting popular for local warungs, Jalan Goutama.
Uhhhhhhhhh I will think about my favorite one!!!

I think most of the dishes are around 20,000. They look small, but you will feel so full when you leave!

Re: Your favorite budget eats
My favorite places I couldn't even really give names of as most of them just have the generic "warung nasi" or "warung babi guling" type of names. Comes down to trial and error to find the good ones.
I have a theory that the cheaper the food in Bali, usually the better it is. Compare a nasi goreng at a warung that costs 5k to a nasi goreng bought in kuta for 20,000. The one for 5,000 will win just about everytime.
Some of my favorite budget meals include
Bakso rp 4k
Mie ayam (even better with a few bakso balls thrown in) 4k, 5k with bakso
Nasi Padang with beef rendang, nangka muda, tempe and both green and red sambal 10k (that's what I eat upon coming home from drinking)
Es doger, great on a hot day 2k
from where I live I would have to drive at least 15 minutes to eat anything even remotely western, so I usually end up eating cheap Indonesian dishes 3 meals a day.
Re: Your favorite budget eats
One place in Kuta I like, especially if I am in the middle of shopping or running around is Obonk on Jalan Setiabudi No 19, Kuta.
Their Tag line is "Rasa bintang lima, harga kaki lima" or something along those lines
A steak/chicken hotplate costs around Rp15,000. The portions arent massive but a side order of fries is Rp7000, or rice Rp2,500.
Our last meal there came to Rp71,000 for
2 x Chicken mushroom hotplate
Side order of fries,
Chicken strips,
4 mixed juices (delicious strawberry and melon juice)
3 ice creams.
We used to have lunch in KFC on shopping days (purely for speed and convenience) but this beats it by far for taste and price and is fast service too.

Re: Your favorite budget eats
Definately nasi padang, though the quantity I consume (because I love it so much!) generally disqualifies the 'true' budget price tag.
Rendang sapi x 3, ayam goreng (kaki) x 2, telur goreng, tempe goreng x 2, kentang x 3 and extra bumbu rendang. Yum! Normally sets me back about 55k. And not a vegie in sight - even better!!!!!! :) Some places do it much better than others but. My favourite place which was at the eastern end of Jl. Padma Timur has changed ownership and isn't half as good as it used to be.
Ayam goreng lalapan and bebek goreng lalapan is my favourite in our kampung in Java. Not sure of the price exactly (12-15k?????), but dirt cheap most certainly. We normally cook at home in Java and that works out ridiculously cheap. We feed our whole extended family for less than what the two of us spend to eat here in Oz, and the poor buggers actually get a chance to eat a bit of meat for a change.

Re: Your favorite budget eats
I can’t find any places better than my wife’s cooking.
But when I go down to Kuta I eat on the beach where the ± 10 warung are, under the trees. After I usually go on the pantai and have some beers.

I'm usually not too fussy and I eat anything. I do like Padang food very much, very tasty, of course only the rice it’s hot everything else cold, in this kind of heat who cares.
I don’t really want to sit at the table for hrs and wait to be served, NOT when I’m in Kuta or anywhere else near the beach.
There is also another place in the middle of a rice field on the road to Tanah Lot and they serve what is called Lawar Kuwir: It is shredded boiled duck served on a bed of rice/vegetables and they also give you a bowl of duck soup with 2 duck’s meat balls.
Expensive restaurant are only for celebration now and then when I get fed up with cheap/fast food.
Re: Your favorite budget eats
Warung Sunda in Kuta, a great Javanese place with flying fish. :lol: :lol:
my karma ran over my dogma
Re: Your favorite budget eats
i love a warung on Jl Oberoi just near La Lucciola. i think its called Warung Ibu Dewi and its where a lot of the taxi drivers eat. if you are looking at a line of shops/warungs, you will see hers on the far left and its blue in colour.
she makes a great nasi pecel, and her nasi campur is just wonderful.
Re: Your favorite budget eats
If we go shopping and have time from time to time I like as well to go to the food court (I am not sure if this is the right word) in Tiara Supermarket, the one opposite to the militar hospital, I don´t know if the others Tiara has as well food court, never been on the others!!!
Anyway, I like that place specially because there is so many choices of local food and I love the balinese cakes!!!!!!!!!!
I LOVE the diferent BUBUR, bubur injin, bubur sunsun, bubur kacang hijau..........bubur injin is my favourite!!!
I like balinese cakes and I will never understand why in the most of the restaurants don´t have balinese desserts or balinese cakes!!!!!!!!! ( I love laclak!!!!!!!!!!!) probably the most of tourists leave Bali without seeing a balinese cake, a plate of balinese cakes could be nice on the menu for dessert or to have a cup of coffee or tea, the most of tourist eats the same cakes they eat in their own countries!!!!!!!! (tiramisu, pies, ice creams..............) although not easy to find balinese cakes, in Ubud you can find them inside of the food market (in front of the place selling sayur) and of course in the pasar sengol in Gianyar and they are soooooooooooo cheap (500/1.000 Rp per piece).
