As I stepped into KERANG AVARA, nestled in the serene neighborhood of Wisma Nusa Permai, Nusa Dua, Bali, I was immediately enveloped by the warm and inviting atmosphere. The restaurant, with its simple yet charming decor, exudes a laid-back vibe that perfectly complements the tropical surroundings. The soft sounds of traditional Balinese music played in the background, enhancing the overall dining experience.

Now, let’s talk about the star of the show: the food! KERANG AVARA specializes in seafood, particularly their signature dishes featuring Kerang Hijau (green clams). I decided to indulge in their renowned Nasi (rice) paired with Kerang Hijau Saus Padang and Kerang Hijau Saus Balado. The moment the dishes arrived, I was taken aback by the generous portions. The vibrant colors and aromatic spices were a feast for the senses.

One bite of the Kerang Hijau Saus Padang and I was hooked! The clams were cooked to perfection, bursting with flavor and a delightful spiciness that danced on my palate. A fellow diner had mentioned, “The tasty and spicy good kerang hijau with padang sauce, with affordable prices,” and I couldn’t agree more. The balance of spices was just right, making it a must-try for anyone looking to dive into the local culinary scene.

However, not everything was perfect. I overheard a customer expressing disappointment about receiving green clams instead of the ordered kerang dara (blood clams). But hey, mistakes happen, and the friendly staff were quick to address any concerns, showcasing their commitment to excellent service. As one reviewer noted, “Very Delicious and very Friendly host,” which truly reflects the hospitality I experienced during my visit.

For those who appreciate fresh seafood, KERANG AVARA is a treasure trove. The prices are incredibly reasonable, with meals ranging from Rp50,000 to Rp75,000 per person, making it accessible for everyone. I couldn’t help but notice the satisfied smiles on other diners’ faces as they savored their meals, and I knew I had stumbled upon a gem.

In conclusion, KERANG AVARA is not just a restaurant; it’s a culinary experience that offers a glimpse into the rich flavors of Balinese cuisine. Whether you’re a seafood lover or just looking to explore the local food scene, this place is a must-visit. With its delicious offerings, friendly service, and inviting atmosphere, it’s no wonder that many, including myself, are eager to return. Trust me, once you try their dishes, you’ll be a regular in no time!

So, let me take you on a little culinary adventure to this gem called KERANG AVARA located in the lovely Nusa Dua, Bali. Picture this: a cozy little spot where the seafood is fresher than your morning coffee and the host is friendlier than your grandma at a family reunion. Seriously, I half expected them to offer me cookies!

Now, let’s talk about the menu. I dove right into their signature dishes: Nasi (rice, because what’s a meal without it?), Kerang Hijau Saus Padang (green clams in Padang sauce), and Kerang Hijau Saus Balado (green clams in spicy Balado sauce). I mean, who knew clams could be so fancy? I felt like I was dining at a five-star restaurant, but my wallet was only crying a little at around Rp50,000-75,000 per person. That’s like, what, the price of a fancy coffee in some places?

Now, let’s get to the good stuff. The Kerang Hijau Saus Padang was like a flavor explosion in my mouth. It was so tasty that I almost forgot to breathe. I was like, “Is this what happiness tastes like?” Meanwhile, the Kerang Hijau Saus Balado had just the right amount of kick. I could feel my taste buds doing a little happy dance. I mean, who needs a dance floor when you have food that makes you want to bust a move?

One of the reviews I read said, “I just tried the original flavor because the kids can’t handle the spice.” I feel you, my friend! Kids and spice are like oil and water. But hey, if you’re a spice warrior like me, you’ll want to dive into that Balado sauce like it’s a pool on a hot day!

Overall, the atmosphere was as chill as a beach day, and the service? Let’s just say I felt like royalty. The staff was so attentive that I half expected them to start fanning me with palm leaves. If you’re looking for a place where the seafood is tasty, the service is top-notch, and the vibe is just right, KERANG AVARA is your spot!

So, if you find yourself in Bali, do yourself a favor and swing by. Just remember to bring your appetite and maybe a bib, because things are about to get deliciously messy!
