A Culinary Adventure at Ayam Betutu Kertanegara: Authentic Flavors Worth the Hunt

Ayam Betutu, Kertanegara

Rama

So, let me take you on a little culinary adventure to a place called Ayam Betutu Kertanegara, located in the not-so-easy-to-find area of Jl. Kertanegara 2/10, Sekarbela, Mataram. Seriously, I felt like I was on a treasure hunt trying to locate this gem! But trust me, the hunt was worth it!

Now, let’s talk about the star of the show: the Betutu. I ordered the Betutu Package without rice (because who needs carbs when you can have chicken, right?). The chicken was so tender it practically melted in my mouth. I mean, if I had a dollar for every time I said “Mmm” while eating, I’d be able to afford a lifetime supply of this dish! And the flavors? Oh boy, they were so authentic that I half-expected a Balinese dancer to pop out and start performing right there at my table!

One reviewer said, “Good authentic taste of Betutu, just like in Bali. Cheap but good portion.” I couldn’t agree more! It’s like they took a trip to Bali, bottled up the flavors, and brought them back to Mataram. And let’s be real, who doesn’t love a good deal? You can eat like a king here for just Rp1-25,000. I mean, I’ve spent more on a fancy coffee that didn’t even taste like coffee!

Now, the atmosphere? Well, let’s just say it’s humble. It’s not exactly Instagram-worthy, but hey, who needs fancy decor when you have delicious food? It’s like eating at your grandma’s house—cozy, a bit chaotic, but filled with love (and maybe a few stray cats). The service was decent, but I think the staff was just as confused as I was about the location. They probably have a map that leads to the nearest exit!

And let’s not forget about the Es Teh! It’s the perfect companion to your Betutu. It’s like the sidekick to your superhero meal. Refreshing, sweet, and just the right amount of ice to make you feel like you’re on a tropical vacation, even if you’re just sitting in a humble little restaurant in Mataram.

In conclusion, if you’re in the mood for some authentic Betutu that won’t break the bank, Ayam Betutu Kertanegara is the place to be. Just remember to bring your sense of adventure (and maybe a GPS) because finding this place is half the fun! Happy eating!
