A Flavorful Journey at Pempek Farina: Authentic Indonesian Cuisine in Bali

Pempek Farina, Teuku Umar

If you’re in Bali and craving something different, you gotta check out Pempek Farina Teuku Umar! Located at Jl. Teuku Umar Barat No. 19 in Denpasar, this spot serves up some seriously tasty pempek, a traditional dish from Palembang, Indonesia. I recently dropped by for lunch and tried their Premium Pempek Kapal Selam, Pempek Adaan, and the Original Tekwan. Let me tell you, it was a flavor explosion!

First off, the Premium Pempek Kapal Selam was a star. It’s stuffed with a delicious mix of fish and egg, and the texture was just right. One of the reviews I read said, “One of decent pempek you can find in Bali and it taste pretty good,” and I couldn’t agree more! The flavors were on point, and it definitely hit the spot.

Now, the Tekwan was another highlight. It’s like a fish ball soup that warms your soul. A fellow diner mentioned, “Good food. Good service. Authentic food from Palembang,” and I felt that vibe too. The broth was rich and comforting, and the fish cakes were fresh and flavorful. If you visit, you absolutely have to try this dish!

However, not everything was perfect. One reviewer pointed out that the stall next door was being renovated, which led to a bit of a paint smell lingering in the air. I can see how that might be a turn-off, but honestly, the food was so good that I barely noticed it. Just a heads up if you’re sensitive to smells!

On the flip side, I did hear some mixed feelings about the Pempek Adaan. One person said, “Was not really a fan of it. The fishcake was good, but the others are nah, the one that has egg inside was really bad imo.” I guess it really depends on your taste, but I thought it was decent enough!

Overall, Pempek Farina is a solid choice if you’re looking for authentic Indonesian flavors in Bali. With a food rating of 5.0/5.0 and service that matches, you can’t go wrong. Just keep in mind that parking can be a bit tricky, so plan accordingly. Prices are pretty reasonable too, averaging around Rp50,000-75,000 per person. So, what are you waiting for? Go grab some pempek!
