If you’re in Bali and craving some authentic local flavors, you absolutely have to check out Lalapan Den Bagus 2 located at Jl. Glogor Carik No.40c, Pemogan, Denpasar Selatan. This place is a hidden gem for anyone looking to indulge in some delicious Balinese cuisine!

First off, let’s talk about the food. Their Ayam Bakar (grilled chicken) served with rice is a must-try! It comes with a generous amount of chili and a side of fresh raw veggies that really elevate the dish. One happy customer raved about it, saying, “Delicious local Bali food. I have had: Ayam Bakar = Fried chicken with rice, lots of chilli, a few raw veges. Ikan Nile Bakar = same as above but with whole fish (presume it is tilapia). Good good good.” I mean, who can argue with that? The flavors are spot on!

And if you’re feeling adventurous, don’t miss out on their Ayam Rempah (spiced chicken) which is equally delightful. Pair it with some Terong Goreng (fried eggplant) for a complete meal that won’t break the bank—most meals are around Rp1-25,000 per person!

Now, let’s keep it real. The atmosphere can be a bit stuffy since the fans weren’t on during my visit, and the service was a tad slow. One reviewer mentioned, “makanan enak, murah, suasana agak pengap sih agak masuk ke dalam soalnya kipas ga nyala, pelayanan agak lama juga, selain itu good.” So, while the food is definitely worth it, just be prepared for a little wait.

On the flip side, I did hear some complaints about the sambal (chili sauce) not being provided with the lalapan (vegetable side dish), which can be a bummer if you’re a spice lover. Another customer expressed their disappointment, saying, “Kecewa banget beli lalapan ga dikasih sambel, trus tambah tahu 1 porsi dikasi 2 biji kecil banget.” So, it seems like there might be some inconsistencies in service.

Overall, if you’re looking for a casual dining experience with tasty food, Lalapan Den Bagus 2 is definitely worth a visit. Just keep your expectations in check regarding the service and atmosphere, and you’ll leave with a happy belly!

So, let me take you on a little culinary adventure to Lalapan Den Bagus 2, located at Jl. Glogor Carik No.40c, Pemogan, Denpasar Selatan, Bali. Now, if you’re looking for a place that serves up some serious flavor, you’ve hit the jackpot! But, fair warning: patience is a virtue here, and you might need a little zen meditation while waiting for your food.

First off, let’s talk about the star of the show: the grilled chicken (Ayam Bakar) with rice. Oh boy, it’s like a flavor explosion in your mouth! I mean, if I could marry a dish, this would be it. The chicken was so juicy and smoky, I half expected it to start singing “I Will Survive” as I devoured it. And the rice? It was like the perfect sidekick, always there to soak up all that deliciousness.

Now, let’s not forget about the fried eggplant (Terong Goreng). I’ve never been so excited about a vegetable in my life! It was crispy on the outside and soft on the inside, like a little veggie pillow of happiness. Seriously, if eggplants had a fan club, I’d be the president.

But here’s where things got a little… interesting. I ordered the spiced chicken (Ayam Rempah) too, and let me tell you, it took longer than a sloth on a Sunday to arrive. I mean, I could have knitted a sweater in the time it took! One reviewer even said, “I was disappointed; I waited almost 40 minutes for my chicken, while customers who came after me got their food first.” I felt that pain, buddy. But hey, good things come to those who wait, right? Or at least that’s what I kept telling myself while staring at the empty table next to me.

Now, the atmosphere? Well, let’s just say it was a bit stuffy. I felt like I was in a sauna without the benefits of a good sweat. One reviewer mentioned, “The atmosphere is a bit cramped since the fan wasn’t on.” I mean, who needs a gym membership when you can just dine here and get your cardio from fanning yourself with the menu?

In terms of service, it’s a mixed bag. The staff were friendly, but let’s just say they might need a little pep talk about speed. But hey, if you’re not in a rush and you love good food, this place is worth the wait. Plus, the prices are so cheap (around Rp1-25,000 per person) that you can afford to buy a fan for the next time you visit!

So, if you’re in Bali and looking for a place to chow down on some delicious food, give Lalapan Den Bagus 2 a shot. Just bring your patience, a good book, and maybe a portable fan. Happy eating!
