Bale Udang Mang Engking, Nakula

Kirana

So, I recently checked out this Indonesian restaurant called Bale Udang Mang Engking in Kuta, and let me tell you, it was an awesome experience! The vibe there is just perfect—super chill and cozy, especially with the floating dining setup. I mean, who doesn’t love a good meal with a view, right?

Now, let’s talk about the food. I ordered a few things like Es Kelapa Gelas, Nasi Besek Gurame Asam Manis, and Lauk Besek Ayam. Everything was delicious! Seriously, the flavors were on point. I even heard someone say, “Always tasty and fresh,” and I couldn’t agree more. The portions are big too, which is a plus! I did have a little hiccup when I ordered extra rice for my driver, and instead, a whole fried chicken showed up. I was happy to get the chicken, but a bit bummed about the missing rice. Sorry, Mang Engking, I devoured the chicken, but it felt like a waste without the rice!

The reviews from other diners were just as glowing. One person mentioned it was their first time there and they were blown away by the cozy atmosphere and delicious food compared to other Balinese spots. They raved about the seafood, especially the grilled prawns and fried fish. Another regular mentioned how the staff was super friendly and attentive, making the whole experience exceptional. They indulged in lobster and crab, and even though it was a splurge, they said every bite was worth it!

And let’s not forget about the service. I had a lovely staff member named Iluh who was super helpful, especially since the menu didn’t have an English version. She explained everything in detail and made my dinner even more enjoyable. The ambiance was just right—relaxing and inviting, making it a perfect spot for a memorable meal.

Overall, Bale Udang Mang Engking is definitely a must-visit if you’re in Bali. I can’t wait to go back and enjoy more of their amazing food and atmosphere!

The Nasi Besek Gurame Asam Manis is a must-try too, along with the Lauk Besek Ayam. Everything is fresh and bursting with flavor. One customer even said, “All the food is fresh and delicious!” Can’t argue with that!

Some folks mentioned that the fried chicken was a bit salty, and maybe swapping out the fried noodles for some veggies like urap or lalapan could be a good idea since you already get rice. But honestly, the prices are pretty reasonable for the portion sizes, and you get what you pay for—quality food!

As for the service, it’s rated at 4.7/5.0, which is pretty good, but a few diners noted that it can take a while for the food to arrive—like almost 2 hours in some cases.
