Warung Ulam Ulam, Sukawati

As I stepped into Warung Ulam Ulam in Sukawati, Bali, I was immediately enveloped by a wave of nostalgia. The ambiance, with its vast outdoor settings and a charming gazebo overlooking the lush rice paddies, transported me back to my childhood. It felt like a warm embrace, reminiscent of family gatherings and my mother’s cooking. The gentle rustle of banana palms swaying in the breeze added to the serene atmosphere, making it a perfect spot for a leisurely meal.

However, my experience was a mixed bag. While some reviews described the food as average, I found a few gems that truly captured the essence of Balinese cuisine. One guest mentioned, “I love the food. Taste great with special local herbs,” and I couldn’t agree more. The flavors were vibrant, and the use of local herbs brought a freshness that was delightful. Yet, I also encountered a contrasting opinion: “The Balinese food was average quality and taste.” It seems that the experience can vary greatly depending on what you order.

For families, this place shines with its spacious outdoor area and a small playground for kids. One reviewer noted, “A good place to bring your family here for lunch or dinner,” and I could see why. The setting is perfect for a casual family outing or even a small birthday party. The menu is reasonably priced, making it accessible for everyone. However, I did share the sentiment of another guest who wished for more from the sambal, a staple in Balinese cuisine.

Yet, not all was perfect. One unfortunate diner had a disappointing experience with the chicken satay, receiving it raw and without peanut sauce. “I would definitely not recommend this place,” they lamented. It’s disheartening to hear such feedback, especially when the potential for a wonderful meal is so palpable.

Despite the mixed reviews, my heart was touched by the warmth of Warung Ulam Ulam. The restaurant embodies the spirit of Bali, where food is not just about sustenance but about connection and memories. The joy of sharing a meal with loved ones, surrounded by nature, is something that resonates deeply within me. As I savored the dishes, I felt a sense of belonging, a reminder that food has the power to evoke emotions and create lasting memories. I left with a heart full of gratitude, hoping that my next visit would be even more delightful.

Hey foodies! If you’re ever wandering around Jln Pura Puseh No 45, you might want to check out Warung Ulam-Ulam. It’s a cozy little spot that serves up some local delights, and I had a pretty interesting experience there!

First off, let’s talk about the vibe. The place has a peaceful ambiance, perfect for a laid-back lunch. I mean, who doesn’t love a meal with a view? You can see the rice paddies and banana palms, although there are a few villas around that might break the natural charm a bit. But hey, it’s Bali, right?

Now, onto the food! I tried their Es Ijo and Es Kopi Gula Aren, and let me tell you, they were refreshing! The Nasi Ayam Geprek was decent too, but I wouldn’t say it blew my mind. Some reviews mentioned that the Balinese food was just average, and I can see where they’re coming from. But if you’re into local herbs, you might find something to love here!

One of my friends ordered the crispy duck, which was a bit bony but still delicious. I went for the grilled chicken, and it was packed with flavor! We sat in this cute little hut above a pond filled with fish, which was a hit with my four-year-old. He had a blast feeding them rice while we enjoyed our meal. Talk about a family-friendly spot!

As for the drinks, the mixed fruit drinks were fantastic! They really hit the spot on a warm day. However, I did wish for some traditional Balinese music instead of the saxophone tunes playing in the background. It would have added to the overall experience.

In terms of pricing, it’s pretty reasonable, with meals ranging from Rp50,000 to Rp75,000 per person. The service was solid too, so no complaints there!

Overall, Warung Ulam-Ulam is a nice place to grab a bite if you’re in the area. Just don’t expect a Michelin-star experience, and you’ll be good to go!
