Loving Hut, Pertokoan Sudirman

Daffa

So, let me take you on a little culinary adventure to Loving Hut, a vegan paradise located in the bustling Pertokoan Sudirman Agung B12 A, Jl. PB Sudirman, Denpasar, Bali. Now, I know what you’re thinking: “Vegan? Isn’t that just rabbit food?” But hold your horses, my friend! This place is like a magic show for your taste buds!

First off, let’s talk about the menu. I dove right into their famous Siomay, which is basically a dumpling that’s been working out at the gym. It’s packed with flavor and made me feel like I was doing something healthy while I was shoving it into my mouth. And then there’s the Soy Seaweed Goreng. I mean, who knew seaweed could be so crispy and delicious? It’s like the ocean decided to throw a party, and I was the guest of honor!

Now, I couldn’t resist trying the Gulai Soy Seaweed, which is basically a warm hug in a bowl. It’s like the seaweed took a vacation to Indonesia and came back with a suitcase full of spices. I was practically doing a happy dance in my seat. Seriously, if you’re not dancing while eating this, are you even living?

And let’s not forget about the portions! One reviewer said, “I ordered their famous Nasi Campur and seaweed tofu and we really enjoyed it! Semuanya enakkk!” (Translation: Everything was delicious!) And trust me, they weren’t kidding. The portions are so generous that I felt like I was feeding a small village. I mean, I’m petite, but I could’ve fed a family of four with what I had!

Now, the staff? Super friendly! They’re like the cheerleaders of the restaurant world, always ready to help and make sure you’re having a good time. One customer even mentioned, “Staf ramah dan helpful,” which means “The staff is friendly and helpful.” I couldn’t agree more! They made me feel like I was part of the Loving Hut family, and I was ready to adopt them all.

But let’s get real for a second. One reviewer did mention a little cockroach incident. I mean, who doesn’t love a surprise guest at dinner? Just think of it as a free protein boost! But in all seriousness, I’m sure they’ll take care of that. After all, nobody wants to share their meal with a critter!

Overall, Loving Hut is a must-visit if you’re in Bali. With food that’s fresher than your ex’s excuses and prices that won’t break the bank (around Rp25,000-50,000 per person), it’s a win-win! So grab your friends, your appetite, and maybe a dance partner, and head over to Loving Hut. You won’t regret it!

Stepping into Loving Hut at Pertokoan Sudirman in Bali feels like a warm embrace from the past, a nostalgic journey back to the comforting meals of childhood. This vegan restaurant is not just a place to eat; it’s a sanctuary where flavors dance on your palate, evoking memories of family gatherings and the love that goes into home-cooked meals. The ambiance is calm, with air-conditioning that wraps around you like a gentle breeze, making it the perfect spot to unwind and savor every bite.

As I settled in, I was eager to try their renowned Nasi Campur and seaweed tofu. The moment the dishes arrived, I was greeted with vibrant colors and enticing aromas. Each bite was a revelation, bursting with authentic flavors that reminded me of my mother’s cooking. The portions were generous, leaving me pleasantly full, yet yearning for more. The friendly and helpful staff made the experience even more delightful, creating an atmosphere that felt like home. It was evident that many patrons were regulars, a testament to the restaurant’s charm and quality.

One review struck a chord with me: “Enjoyable lunch while saving the planet. The food was tasty but I was disappointed that the bakso was sold out.” It perfectly encapsulates the essence of Loving Hut—delicious food that not only satisfies your hunger but also aligns with a compassionate lifestyle. The vegan cookies were a delightful surprise, a sweet ending to a fulfilling meal that didn’t break the bank. “We had 2 mains and 4 sides between 2 of us and including the vegan cookies it cost 142k. Very good price for money,” one patron noted, and I couldn’t agree more.

However, it’s important to acknowledge that there were some minor hiccups. A suggestion was made regarding the noise level, as the restaurant is quite small, and a little more attention to cleanliness would enhance the overall experience. But these small issues pale in comparison to the joy that the food brings. The ingredients are fresh, the vegetables perfectly cooked, and the seasoning just right—not overpowering, but rather a gentle caress to the taste buds.

Reflecting on my visit, I am filled with gratitude for places like Loving Hut that not only serve delicious food but also foster a sense of community and connection. It’s a reminder that vegan cuisine can be rich, flavorful, and deeply satisfying. I left with a full heart and a promise to return, eager to explore more of their extensive menu. Loving Hut is not just a restaurant; it’s a heartfelt experience that touches the soul, reminding us of the beauty of compassion and the joy of sharing a meal with loved ones.
