Cahya

As I stepped into Nasi Gudeg Dan Nasi Liwet Danukusuman, located at Jl. Mahendradatta Selatan No. 7A in Denpasar, Bali, I was immediately enveloped by the warm and inviting atmosphere that this humble eatery exudes. The aroma of spices and traditional Indonesian dishes wafted through the air, promising a culinary adventure that would take me straight to the heart of Central Java.

The restaurant is known for its signature dishes, particularly the Nasi Gudeg Extra Krecek and Nasi Liwet, both of which are celebrated for their authentic flavors. I was eager to dive into the local culinary scene, and the recommendations I had gathered from fellow food enthusiasts only heightened my anticipation. One diner mentioned, “I think this is the best Nasi Gudeg and Nasi Liwet in Bali,” which set my expectations high.

As I settled down, I decided to try the Sosis Solo, a delightful dish that was highly recommended. The flavors were rich and comforting, reminiscent of home-cooked meals. Another patron had noted, “Delicious food over local price, it can’t go wrong!” and I couldn’t agree more. The prices here are incredibly reasonable, with meals ranging from Rp 16,000 to Rp 50,000, making it accessible for everyone.

However, I must mention that while the food was undeniably delicious, the cleanliness of the establishment left something to be desired. One reviewer pointed out, “What I didn’t like was the cleanliness here, which needs improvement!” It was evident that some areas could use a little more attention, especially with uncovered fried foods attracting flies. For a place that serves such delectable dishes, I hoped they would enhance their service quality to match the food.

Now, let’s talk about the star of the show: the Nasi Gudeg. I opted for the Nasi Gudeg Extra Krecek, and it was a revelation! The combination of tender jackfruit, spicy krecek (beef skin), and fragrant rice was a symphony of flavors that danced on my palate. A fellow diner exclaimed, “Enak banget!!! Aselik!!!!” and I couldn’t help but echo that sentiment. It truly was a feast for the senses.

For those who enjoy a bit of spice, the sambal served alongside the dishes is a must-try. One visitor raved, “Their sambal is undoubtedly taste great,” and I found it to be the perfect accompaniment to the rich flavors of the Nasi Gudeg. I also sampled the Tahu Bacem, which was sweet and savory, adding another layer of depth to my meal.

As I wrapped up my meal, I couldn’t resist trying the homemade tamarind ice, which was described as “definitely to die for!” It was a refreshing end to a hearty meal, and I left feeling satisfied and eager to return. The staff were friendly and welcoming, making the experience even more enjoyable.

In conclusion, Nasi Gudeg Dan Nasi Liwet Danukusuman is a culinary gem in Bali that offers an authentic taste of Central Java. Despite some cleanliness concerns, the delicious food and reasonable prices make it a must-visit for anyone looking to explore the rich tapestry of Indonesian cuisine. Whether you’re a local or a traveler, this eatery is sure to satisfy your cravings and provide a deeper understanding of the culinary culture of Indonesia.
