Rumah Makan Jessica, Nuansa Udayana

Maulana

Hey there! So, I recently checked out this awesome Indonesian restaurant called Rumah Makan Jesica in Jimbaran, Bali, and I just had to share my experience with you all. First off, the food is a solid 5.0/5.0! Seriously, everything I tried was delicious. I ordered some Nasi Putih, Perkedel Jagung, and Telur Dadar Buncis, and let me tell you, they were all super tasty!

One of the reviews I read said, “Nasi campur, lauk sayur, daging2an maupun telur enak semua. Cakep bener memang resto satu ini, salah satu pilihan terbaik ketika males masak hehehe.” Which translates to, “The mixed rice, vegetable dishes, meats, and eggs are all delicious. This restaurant is really great, one of the best choices when you’re too lazy to cook, hehe.” I totally agree! The portions are generous, and the veggies were super fresh. I loved it so much that I’m definitely going to order from here again!

I’ve been a regular for a few years now, and the home-cooked meals are always on point. The flavors are amazing, especially the Nasi Campur and Rendang. Another review mentioned, “The keripik kentang are the best in Bali – we have never had a bad meal here.” I can see why! The atmosphere is modern and clean, making it a pleasant spot to enjoy your meal. Just a heads up, it can get pretty busy during lunch, but the staff is efficient, so you won’t be waiting long.

Someone else said, “There’s no better place to eat local Medan food in Jimbaran, each dish very tasty and generously served.” I couldn’t agree more! The prices are super affordable too, ranging from Rp25,000-50,000 per person, which is a steal for the quality you get.

Overall, if you’re in Bali and craving some delicious Indonesian food, Rumah Makan Jesica is the place to be. I’ll definitely be coming back next time I’m in town!

So, let me take you on a little culinary adventure to a place called Rumah Makan Jesica in the beautiful Jimbaran, Bali. Picture this: you walk in, and the aroma of freshly cooked food hits you like a warm hug from your grandma. Seriously, it’s like the food is saying, “Hey there, buddy! Let’s get this party started!”

Now, I decided to go all out and try their Nasi Putih, Perkedel Jagung, and Telur Dadar Buncis. And let me tell you, it was a flavor explosion! The rice was fluffier than a cloud on a sunny day, and the corn fritters? Oh boy, they were like little golden nuggets of happiness. I could hear them whispering, “Eat me, eat me!” And who am I to resist such sweet nothings?

As I was munching away, I overheard a fellow diner say, “Fresh cooked food, taste good, would come back again. Can improve on the cleanliness.” I mean, who doesn’t love a little honesty with their meal? It’s like saying, “This burger is amazing, but I wouldn’t mind if it didn’t come with a side of dust bunnies.”

Another customer chimed in, “I always eat at R.M. Jesica when my off days. I usually eat nasi uduk with varieties of side dish that you can choose to accompany your nasi. They’re from Medan (my hometown) the taste of the food is quite same as Medan. Oh I almost forgot, try the ‘lupis’ it’s good just a lil bit too sweet.” I mean, who doesn’t love a little sweetness in their life? Just like my personality, right? (Just kidding, I’m more like a spicy chili pepper!)

Now, if you’re looking for a place to satisfy your Medan food cravings, this is it! Just be warned, some specialties are only available on Sundays. So, if you show up on a Tuesday expecting a feast, you might just end up with a sad face and a growling stomach. And parking? Let’s just say it’s a bit like playing Tetris—good luck fitting your car in there!

But hey, the food is worth the hustle! I mean, who doesn’t love a place that’s “quite nice, affordable and clean”? Just remember, there’s no AC, only fans. So, if you’re dining during the afternoon, you might feel like you’re in a sauna. But hey, who doesn’t love a little sweat with their meal? It’s like a free workout!

Overall, I’d give this place a solid 5.0 for food, 4.7 for service, and 4.5 for atmosphere. It’s a great spot for lunch, and at around Rp25,000-50,000 per person, it’s a steal! So, grab your friends, your appetite, and maybe a towel for the sweat, and head over to Rumah Makan Jesica. You won’t regret it—unless you forget to order the corn fritters. Then, my friend, you’ll be living with regret!
