So, let me take you on a little culinary adventure to a place called Bale Jaje, located at Jl. A. A Gede Ngurah No. 90D-E, Cilinaya, Cakranegara, Mataram. Now, I know what you’re thinking: “What’s in a name?” Well, if you’re expecting a fancy French bistro, you might be in for a surprise. But trust me, this place is a hidden gem!

First off, let’s talk about the menu. They’ve got some real winners here, like the Rich Chocolate, Pizza Bread, and Blueberry Cheesy. I mean, who doesn’t want to eat something that sounds like a party in your mouth?

I decided to kick things off with the Rich Chocolate. It was so rich that I felt like I was swimming in a chocolate fountain—minus the awkwardness of being at a wedding. Seriously, if Willy Wonka had a restaurant, this would be it!

Then came the Pizza Bread. Now, I’m not saying it was life-changing, but I might have shed a tear when I took my first bite. It’s like pizza and bread had a baby, and that baby was delicious! I could practically hear the angels singing.

And let’s not forget the Blueberry Cheesy. This dish was so cheesy that I half expected it to start singing “I Will Survive.” The cream cheese in the middle was like a surprise party for my taste buds. I was ready to RSVP for seconds!

Now, I did some snooping around and found some reviews from fellow food adventurers. One person said, “Been years since the last time I came to Bale Jaje Steak House, and I wondered why I didn’t. Because they still tasted so good!” They celebrated their birthday there with Wagyu & Smoked Beef Steak, and apparently, the mashed potatoes were the real MVP. They just wished the mushroom sauce was a tad less sweet. I mean, who doesn’t want their sauce to be a little less like candy?

On the flip side, another reviewer wasn’t as impressed. They said, “A fan of Bale Jaje bakery, but not the restaurant.” Ouch! They found the meal portions big but the flavors a bit bland. I guess not every dish can be a superstar, right?

But hey, if you’re looking for freshly baked bread, you’re in luck! They have a buy 4 get 1 promo from 5 PM to 10 PM. One reviewer raved about the blueberry cheese bread, saying there’s a lot of cream cheese in the middle. I mean, who doesn’t love a good cheese explosion?

Overall, Bale Jaje is a fun spot with a great atmosphere, and the service is top-notch. Just remember, if you’re looking for a flavor explosion, you might want to stick to the bakery section. But if you’re in the mood for a hearty meal and some laughs, this place is definitely worth a visit. Just don’t forget to bring your appetite and maybe a bib—things could get messy!
