Nasi Balap Puyung RM CAHAYA, Pagesangan

Lutfi

Hey there! So, I recently checked out this Indonesian restaurant called Nasi Balap Puyung RM Cahaya 2 located at Jln Gajah Mada no.35, Pagesangan, Kota Mataram, NTB. Honestly, it was a pretty chill spot to grab some dinner. The vibe was laid-back, and I’d rate the food, service, and atmosphere all around 3.0/5.0. Not too fancy, but definitely decent!

I ordered a few dishes like Nasi Ayam Kampung, Nasi Balap + Ayam, and Nasi Balap Puyung. Let me tell you, everything was tasty! Some folks have mentioned that the food is a favorite, and I totally get it! One person even said, “If possible, I’d love to have an option to add fried chicken.” They also mentioned that the fried chicken was a bit too salty for their taste, but hey, that’s just how it goes sometimes!

Another review I came across said, “Not too spicy as I heard before, but no worry, extra chili sauce (sambal) is provided.” Just a heads up, if you’re planning to visit at night and using Google Maps, slow down about 100 meters before you get there because it’s just a small stall next to a local convenience store.

One traveler mentioned, “Delicious for travelers. I don’t know the original taste of nasi puyung, but for me, here, the nasi puyung was delicious. Spicy but not really spicy for me. Portion: normal. Price: cheap enough. Comeback again? Maybe if I go to Lombok again.”

And let’s not forget about the traditional local cuisine! It’s made with rice, fried soya nut, shredded chicken, and potatoes with sambal. It’s definitely spicy food, but in a good way!

The highlight for me was the nasi balap puyung, which really drew me and my family in. The complete set with a piece of fried chicken added to the original set that already had some shredded chicken. The sautéed vegetables balanced out the spiciness and freshness perfectly. The sambal, with its dark color and heat, made the whole meal irresistible!

All in all, I’d say if I find myself in Mataram again, I’d definitely swing by Nasi Balap Puyung RM Cahaya 2 for another round of deliciousness!
