Balinese and Indonesian Cuisine at Made's Warung

Made's Warung (Pronounced as Ma-Day) was recommended to us by an Indonesian. When the locals recommend it, you can't go wrong. We went to the restaurant in Kuta. They also have a branch in Seminyak. Made's Warung was established in 1969 and started off as a roadside stall or warung. It has now evolved to a cosmopolitan restaurant serving local and international cuisine to cater to the international visitors to Bali.

The restaurant is spacious and airy, with both indoor and outdoor seating. We opted for local Indonesian and Balinese cuisine. We really enjoyed the sate at Bumbu Bali so we ordered the pork sate here. We were not disappointed. The sate was grilled to perfection - the meat was moist on the inside and golden brown on the outside. The peanut sauce was creamy and had a wonderful flavour. (You really must buy the roasted peanuts in Bali)!

Another winner in our books is the ribs in young papaya soup. The ribs were so tender. The young papaya tasted like Chit Kwa (Chinese cucumber).

We couldn't resist the Indonesian Nasi Campur (Mixed Rice). The white rice was served with an accompaniment of small portions of meat and vegetable dishes, topped off with sambal (chili paste).

And to finish off the meal, we had the Black Rice Pudding for dessert. The pudding was served with freshly grated coconut and was rich and creamy. Beautiful!
