If you’re in Denpasar, Bali, and craving some comforting Chinese food, you absolutely have to check out Ronde Malang on Jl. Imam Bonjol No. 20C. This place is a hidden gem for those late-night cravings, especially if you’re in the mood for something traditional.

One of the must-try dishes here is the Ronde. It’s a warm dessert that’s perfect for those chilly tropical nights. Imagine sinking your spoon into a bowl of mochi floating in a ginger soup that wraps you in a cozy hug. It’s not just delicious; it’s like a warm blanket for your soul! The service is super friendly, and the place is clean, which is always a plus. Just a heads up, it’s street food, so you might have to deal with a bit of traffic as your backdrop while you enjoy your meal.

Another highlight is the Lumpia Goreng (fried spring rolls), which come in a set of two. They’re crispy and packed with flavor, making them a great starter or snack. And don’t forget to try the Amsle, a sweet treat that pairs perfectly with the Ronde.

Now, I did come across a couple of mixed reviews. One visitor mentioned that the Ronde wasn’t as squishy or sticky as they expected, and they found some “Emping” (krupuk) in their Angsle, which was a bit of a surprise. But hey, every place has its off days, right?

Overall, Ronde Malang is a solid choice for a casual meal. The prices are super affordable, ranging from Rp25,000 to Rp50,000 per person, making it a great spot for a budget-friendly outing. Just keep in mind that it’s not the best place for vegetarians or those with dietary restrictions, but if you’re looking for kid-friendly options, you’re in luck!

So, if you find yourself in the area, swing by Ronde Malang for a taste of traditional Chinese comfort food. You won’t regret it!

As I stepped into Ronde Malang, Imam Bonjol, nestled in the vibrant heart of Bali, I was instantly transported back to my childhood. The warm, inviting atmosphere wrapped around me like a comforting embrace, reminiscent of my mother’s kitchen during family gatherings. The aroma of traditional Indonesian dishes wafted through the air, igniting a sense of nostalgia that made my heart swell with joy.

One of the highlights of my visit was the Ronde, a warm traditional dessert that is often sought after during the tropical colds. The mochi, perfectly crafted, floated in a soothing ginger soup that enveloped me in warmth and comfort. It was a delightful reminder of those cozy nights spent with family, sharing stories and laughter over bowls of this beloved treat. The service was impeccable; the staff was friendly, and the place was clean, making the experience even more enjoyable. However, I did notice that the Ronde wasn’t as squishy or sticky as I had hoped, which was a slight disappointment.

Alongside the Ronde, I indulged in Angsle, another favorite of mine. The combination of flavors was delightful, although I was surprised to find “Emping,” or krupuk, mixed in with my dish. It was an unexpected twist that added a crunchy texture, but I would have preferred to savor the traditional flavors without it. Nevertheless, the overall experience was still satisfying.

For those craving Chinese cuisine, Ronde Malang also offers an excellent selection. The mie ayam pangsit and nasi goreng were standout dishes, bursting with flavor and authenticity. I couldn’t help but appreciate the culinary diversity that this restaurant provided, showcasing the best of both Indonesian and Chinese flavors.

As I reflected on my meal, I couldn’t help but feel a sense of gratitude for the memories that Ronde Malang evoked. The delicious nasi rawon was a highlight, and I left with a heart full of warmth and a smile on my face. Despite a few minor hiccups, the restaurant truly touched my heart, reminding me of the simple joys of food and family. Ronde Malang is not just a place to eat; it’s a place to relive cherished memories and create new ones. I can’t wait to return and indulge in the flavors that have become a part of my story.
