Nasi Tim Citra 5: A Hidden Culinary Gem in Bali

Nasi Tim Citra 5, Bali

Nayla

So, let me take you on a little culinary adventure to a hidden gem in Bali called Nasi Tim Citra 5. Located in the charming Cempaka Sari Residence, this place is like finding a unicorn in a field of horses—rare and magical!

First off, let’s talk about the menu. I dove right into their 4 Baso Goreng Dadakan (which translates to “Fried Meatballs That Just Happened”). I mean, who doesn’t love a good meatball? These little guys were so crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside that I almost proposed to them. Seriously, if meatballs had a dating app, these would be swiping right all day!

Next up was the Nasi Tim Siomai. Now, I’ve had my fair share of dumplings, but this one was like a warm hug from your grandma—comforting and full of love. One reviewer said, “The place sells one of the best dumplings in Bali,” and I couldn’t agree more! If you’re not careful, you might just end up rolling out of the restaurant instead of walking.

And let’s not forget the Paket 1 Siomay B2. I’m not sure what the “B2” stands for, but I’m pretty sure it means “Best Dumplings Ever.” The authentic taste had me questioning if I had somehow been transported to a street food market in China. I mean, who knew Bali had such culinary secrets? It’s like finding out your quiet neighbor is actually a rock star!

Now, let’s talk about the prices. For around Rp50,000-75,000 per person, you get a feast fit for a king (or at least a very happy peasant). And if you’re feeling lazy, they also offer delivery for just Rp25,000-50,000. I mean, who doesn’t love food delivered right to their door? It’s like having a personal chef, minus the awkward small talk!

Overall, I’d rate this place a solid 5.0/5.0 for food, service, and atmosphere. The staff were as friendly as a golden retriever, and the vibe was just right for a brunch or lunch outing. One happy customer said, “Authentic taste and very affordable. Would love to come back again!” And honestly, I’m already planning my next visit. If you’re in Bali and don’t stop by Nasi Tim Citra 5, are you even living your best life?

So, grab your friends, your appetite, and maybe a stretchy pair of pants, and head over to Nasi Tim Citra 5. Your taste buds will thank you, and your stomach will probably throw a little party!

So, let me take you on a little culinary adventure to Nasi Tim Citra 5, located in the charming Cempaka Sari Residence in Denpasar, Bali. Picture this: a cozy little spot where the aroma of delicious food wafts through the air like a friendly ghost inviting you to dine. I decided to dive into their menu like a kid in a candy store, and boy, was it a ride!

First up, I ordered the 4 Baso Goreng Dadakan. Now, these aren’t your average meatballs; they’re like little flavor bombs that explode in your mouth! Seriously, if you’re a meat lover, these bad boys are a must-try. One bite and I was ready to propose to the chef. I mean, who needs a ring when you have meatballs this good?

Next, I tackled the Nasi Tim Siomai. This dish is like a warm hug on a plate. The siomai was so tender that I half-expected it to whisper sweet nothings to me. And let’s not forget the sambal! It’s like the spicy sidekick that makes everything better. I could practically hear it saying, “You can’t handle me!” But trust me, I handled it like a champ.

Then came the Paket 1 Siomay B2. I don’t know who B2 is, but I’m pretty sure they’re a culinary genius. This package was a delightful mix of flavors that danced on my taste buds like they were at a disco party. I could hear the siomay saying, “Stayin’ Alive” as I devoured it.

Now, let’s talk about the service. The staff were so friendly that I felt like I was dining with old friends. One reviewer even said, “The seller is very responsive and can arrange delivery on time via ojol.” I mean, if they were any more responsive, I’d start asking them for life advice!

And speaking of reviews, one guest mentioned they bought almost everything on the menu for their picky nephew and employees, and guess what? They loved it! If a picky eater gives a thumbs up, you know you’re onto something good. It’s like finding a unicorn in a field of horses!

Overall, Nasi Tim Citra 5 gets a solid 5.0/5.0 for food, service, and atmosphere. It’s the kind of place where you can enjoy brunch or lunch without breaking the bank—around Rp50,000-75,000 per person for brunch and Rp25,000-50,000 for lunch.
