A Culinary Journey at Ayam Goreng Kalasan: A Local Favorite in Denpasar

Ayam Goreng Kalasan, Renon

Habib

As I stepped into Ayam Goreng Kalasan, located at Jl. Cok Agung Tresna No. 6 in Denpasar, Bali, I was immediately enveloped by the bustling atmosphere of this local gem. The restaurant, strategically positioned in the heart of the city, attracts a diverse crowd, from office workers grabbing a quick lunch to families enjoying a hearty meal together. The decor is simple yet inviting, with wooden tables and chairs that give it a traditional Indonesian feel.

The star of the menu, of course, is the Ayam Goreng Kalasan. A plate of this fried chicken comes generously served with rice, lalapan (a mix of fresh vegetables like cabbage and basil), kremesan (crispy fried flour seasoned with spices), and sambal. The portion sizes are impressive for the price, which ranges from Rp25,000 to Rp50,000 per person. However, I must admit, the chicken and kremesan lacked the robust flavors I was hoping for. While the chicken was tender and juicy, it could have used a bit more seasoning to elevate its taste. The sambal, which is usually a fiery accompaniment, was surprisingly mild, making it accessible even for those who shy away from spicy food.

Despite the mixed reviews on the flavor, the service was commendable. My meal arrived quickly, which is a plus considering the restaurant’s popularity during lunch hours. The staff was efficient, ensuring that even with a busy crowd, I didn’t have to wait long for my food. However, I did notice that the cleanliness of the floor could use some attention, as several reviews pointed out. The tables were tidy, equipped with tissues, kecap (sweet soy sauce), and toothpicks, but the overall atmosphere felt a bit marred by the less-than-ideal floor conditions.

In addition to the fried chicken, Ayam Goreng Kalasan offers a variety of other Indonesian dishes, including fried rice, soto, and gado-gado. The gado-gado, a salad of boiled vegetables served with peanut sauce, was a refreshing addition to my meal. One reviewer mentioned, “The soto is fresh, and the portion of noodles is quite generous,” which I found to be true as well. It’s clear that this place has something for everyone, even if the flavors might not always hit the mark.

Overall, Ayam Goreng Kalasan is a must-visit for anyone looking to dive into the local culinary scene. While it may not be the most refined dining experience, it offers a genuine taste of Indonesian comfort food in a lively setting. Just be prepared for a bit of noise and the occasional vendor trying to sell you something while you eat. If you’re in Denpasar and craving some fried chicken, this spot is worth checking out!
