Review Pelanggan untuk Taliwang Bali

Biteorbye? Bite (without a doubt).

Why you will love it ❤
1. The Ayam Sasak is love. I think it has that tangy, sweet, spicy and savoury kick. It engages your pallette in a way that you have never felt before. Every bite reminds you of days when you are in Lombok, just enjoying the beach and somehow all your problems seem so small. Rice not included. Portion is generous enough for 2-3 people. Our favourite, must-try.
2. Ayam Taliwang is super flavourful. I thought even without the sambal it was great already. Medium level is not too spicy, but you can order it spicy if you want to. Their flavour profile is on the sweeter/spicy side, which I prefer. I wish it was a bit softer thought, would make the experience even more enjoyable than it already is.
3. Bebek Betutu Gianyar has great texture! Well-cooked, flavourful. Although we are not a big fan of the betutu kind of cooking, this is great for those who do not want their duck fried.
4. Sop Iga Garang Asem Bali has a nice broth but most importantly the meat is super easy to cut. Well-cooked and quality meat is used.
5. Sate Lilit Ayam has a well-balanced flavour, while Sate Lilit Bebek is umami. Really depends on what you like because well they are both good! Sate Ayam Plecing Denpasar is also worth a try - they are on the spicier side.
6. Tape Goreng is good for dessert. The outer layer is crispy and the tape has just the right amount of sweetness.
7. I really like how the names are the places in Bali. Great job on naming the drinks! The best one we tried is the Lovina Paradise. Did not expect it to taste so fresh and exotic.
8. The mysterious menu that somehow tastes so good is the Tempe Bacem. Please, please, please order it if you are here! It somehow surprises you. The quality of the tempe used and the flavours they use. Unlike any Tempe Bacem we have ever tasted before.
10. Friendly, fast and attentive service.
11. Lovely ambience that make you forget for a while you are not on holiday, yes, you are still in Jakarta.
12. They do not use plastic straws. Yeay! If you order juice, would be better if you bring your own metal straw because the glass is pretty and tall, but it could be a bit challenging to drink.

What could be improved 🙏
1. I think it would be better if the Seminyak Mojito were a bit sour. Would be complimentary to the whole meal to balance it up. Though if you do like pineapple, mint and prefer sweet drinks this might be just for you.
2. The Sop Iga Garang Asam Bali I wish were a bit more sour. Because that is the kind of Garang Asam I am used to. But even with that being said, this is still a good dish it's just not the flavour profile I am used to for Garang Asam.
3. Wish the Rujak Gula Bali was a bit spicier. It was more on the sweet side, but I guess for this you should be able to request and adjust the spicy level.
4. We hope they have Sate Lilit Ikan! Because if their duck and chicken version is this good, we cannot even image their take on Sate Lilit Ikan.
5. This is on the pricier end of the restaurant, however, when you consider the price, quality, service, ambience and the fact you do not need to fly all the way to Lombok/Bali to get quality food. This is all worth it. We will be back, definitely! And bringing friends and family because they need to know, this is a wonderful restaurant!
