As I stepped into Amy Wong Chinese Comfort Food, located at Jl. Pantai Berawa no.1, I was immediately enveloped by the warm and inviting atmosphere that felt like a cozy embrace. The decor strikes a perfect balance between modern chic and traditional Chinese elements, making it a delightful spot for both locals and tourists alike. The aroma of spices and freshly cooked dishes wafted through the air, teasing my taste buds and setting the stage for a culinary adventure.

One of the standout dishes that I couldn’t resist trying was the Nasi Bakmoy Ayam. This dish is a true representation of home-style Chinese cooking, and as one reviewer aptly put it, “If you want home-styled Chinese home cooking, then you are at the right place.” The chicken was incredibly juicy, and the rice was cooked to perfection, making it a comforting meal that warms the soul. I also indulged in the Telur Kecap, which was a delightful combination of flavors that complemented the rice beautifully.

But the real star of the show was the Bakpao Kacang Nutella. As one enthusiastic diner exclaimed, “veryy good bakpaoo!! satu gaakan cukup,” I found myself agreeing wholeheartedly. The fluffy bun was filled with rich Nutella, creating a sweet treat that was simply irresistible. I could have easily devoured several of these delightful pastries!

Another highlight was the Bakso Goreng, or fried meatballs, which were described by another visitor as having a “perfect balance of prawn and perfectly fried.” They were crispy on the outside and bursting with flavor on the inside, making them an ideal snack to accompany my meal. The Mie Ayam Yamin was also a must-try, with its rich broth and tender chicken, earning rave reviews from fellow diners.

While the food was undeniably delicious, I did experience a slight hiccup with the service. As one reviewer noted, “Service takes time here, so patience is required, especially during peak hours.” I found myself waiting a bit longer than expected for my order, but the friendly staff and the vibrant atmosphere made the wait more bearable. Just a heads up, it can get a bit warm inside since the kitchen is open to the dining area, so dress accordingly!

Overall, Amy Wong Chinese Comfort Food is a culinary gem that offers a delightful glimpse into the rich tapestry of Chinese-Indonesian cuisine. With affordable prices ranging from Rp50,000-125,000 per person, it’s a place where you can enjoy hearty meals without breaking the bank. Whether you’re a local or a traveler, this restaurant is a must-visit to truly understand the essence of comfort food in Bali. So, gather your friends, bring your appetite, and prepare for a feast that will leave you craving more!

I love it so much, it’s fresh and not too sweet. Perfect when you’re feeling under the weather.” And I totally agree! The food was warm and comforting, just what I needed.

Another guest mentioned, “Definitely a Chinese comfort food. Their fried meatballs and kwetiau kuah are my favorite. The place is cozy, but since it’s small, it can’t accommodate many people.” I felt that vibe too; it’s a snug little spot that makes you feel right at home.

For dinner, I went for the Hainan Chicken Rice, and wow, it was a hit! One reviewer raved, “My fav place to have a simple but kickin dinner either for takeout or dine-in!
