So, let me take you on a little culinary adventure to this gem of a place called Warung Ssam, located on Jl. Tambak Sari 2 in Sanur Kauh, Denpasar Selatan. Picture this: a cozy little spot where the owner and staff are so humble, you might think they just stepped out of a K-drama. Seriously, they’re so nice, I half-expected them to offer me a free hug with my meal!

Now, let’s talk about the food. Oh boy, where do I even start? I dove right into their Sundubujjigae, which is basically a Korean-style tofu stew that’s so good it could make a tofu hater reconsider their life choices. It’s spicy, it’s comforting, and it’s like a warm hug from your grandma—if your grandma was Korean and a master chef.

Then came the Kimchi Jjigae with pork. Let me tell you, this dish is like a party in your mouth, and everyone’s invited! It’s tangy, spicy, and just the right amount of porky goodness. I could practically hear my taste buds singing “Hallelujah!” as I devoured it. And if you’re worried about the place being empty when you arrive, don’t be! It fills up faster than a TikTok trend, trust me.

Oh, and I couldn’t resist trying the Kimbab Original. It’s like sushi’s cooler cousin who knows how to party. It’s fresh, it’s flavorful, and it’s the perfect sidekick to your main dishes. I mean, who doesn’t love a good roll? (No, not that kind of roll, get your mind out of the gutter!)

Now, a little tip for you: if you’re planning to go for the spicy fried chicken, just do it. It’s awesome! I tried a few other dishes, including the kimchi pancake, and everything was served faster than I could say “I’m hungry!” Just a heads up, they only take cash, so make sure you bring some unless you want to perform a dramatic interpretive dance to express your hunger.

Overall, Warung Ssam is a delightful spot with a 5-star rating in food, service, and atmosphere. It’s like the holy trinity of dining! And at around Rp75,000-100,000 per person, it’s a steal for the flavor explosion you’re about to experience. So, grab your friends, your appetite, and maybe a bib (just in case), and head over to this Korean paradise. Your taste buds will thank you, and who knows, you might even make some new friends with the lovely staff!
