A Culinary Adventure at JFC Saba: Fried Chicken Bliss in Bali

JFC Saba, Pantai Saba

So, let me take you on a little culinary adventure to JFC Saba, located at Jl. Pantai Saba No.5, Gianyar, Bali. Now, if you’re looking for a place that serves fried chicken and has a vibe that screams “I’m on vacation!” then this is your spot. Just don’t expect the staff to roll out the red carpet for you. I mean, they might just give you a nod and a grunt instead. But hey, who needs friendly service when you have fried chicken, right?

First up, I tried the Ayam Pajay 2. Let me tell you, this chicken was so crispy that I thought it might just take flight! I was half-expecting it to sprout wings and join the birds outside. The flavor? Oh boy, it was like a party in my mouth, and everyone was invited! I could almost hear the chicken saying, “Eat me, I’m delicious!”

Then came the Paket Pajay 2. Now, this was a feast fit for a king—or at least a very hungry tourist. It was like they took a regular meal and said, “Let’s super-size this bad boy!” I was practically drooling as I dug in. But, just a heads up, if you’re on a diet, you might want to steer clear of this one. Your salad might get jealous.

And of course, I couldn’t resist trying the Chicken Wrap. It was like a burrito had a baby with a fried chicken sandwich. I mean, who knew that chicken could be so versatile? It was wrapped up tighter than my jeans after a buffet, and every bite was a delightful surprise.

Now, let’s talk about the atmosphere. It’s got that chill Bali vibe, with a sprinkle of “I’m on vacation, and I don’t care!” But, as one reviewer pointed out, the service could use a little pep. I mean, I asked for silverware, and they looked at me like I asked for a unicorn. “Sorry, we don’t have any,” they said. Well, I guess it’s hands-on dining then!

And speaking of reviews, I came across a few gems. One person said, “Delicious food, good price, but the staff is unfriendly, bad service.” I mean, who needs a smile when you have fried chicken? Another mentioned, “Very popular in Bali. An option if you are looking for fast fried chicken.” Fast? More like “I’m going to eat this so fast, I might just break the sound barrier!”

Overall, JFC Saba is a solid choice if you’re craving some fried chicken while soaking up the Bali sun. Just remember to bring your own silverware and maybe a side of patience. Happy munching!

I came across a few reviews saying the staff isn’t the friendliest, and I can see where they’re coming from. One visitor mentioned, “Delicious food, good price, but the staff is unfriendly, bad service.” Ouch! But hey, if you can overlook that, the food is worth it.

But they still found the food flavor acceptable, so that’s a win!

And let’s not forget about the sambal! One review raved about the “super cheap tasty geprek,” saying the sambal isn’t as spicy as other places, which might be a plus for those who can’t handle the heat. It’s all about finding that perfect balance!
