Food/Rest. Review : Warung Mak Beng

Let's forget a bit about suckling pig or pork ribs when we talk about Bali culinary. Yes they are extremely yummy, but in this post I want to introduce you to another local food that's worth to call a legend, yet it's halal. Established since 1941, big thanks to one genius lady, Mak Beng ( or Ketut Tjuki ), who inherited this rare recipes from her mother and mother-in-law. I go to this place early in the morning ( around 8am ), because I've heard they ran out so fast. Thank God when I come to this place, the queue was still okay. Got my seats and ready to fill my tummy !

Atmosphere :
Just a modest local restaurant. Very- very simple and not too spacious though. But when you see the wall ( read : wall of fame :p ) , you just knew that this place is something!

Price :
IDR 30.000/ person ( around 3 USD )

Food :
They ONLY sell ONE package here. Rice, fish head soup, fried fish, IDR 28.000,-. That's it ! ;D So here it is.
Fish Head Soup. It is said they're using Red Snapper ( or Ikan Jangki ) or Skipjack Tuna ( or Ikan Cakalang ) for the fish. You can say the fish are definitely fresh! Soft and fresh. The soup, very- very savory, with a taste of spices and chili. Cucumber and Starfruit also added to the soup. Savory, sour and spicy, interesting flavor isn't it?! Totally a winner IMO.

Fried fish. Even though the fish are deep fried, but it's still had soft texture at the center. One of the highlight of course their Sambal ( chili condiment )! Very-very "HOT" which is perfect for Indonesian tongue :D Love it !
