Warung Pulau Kelapa, Ubud, Bali

The restaurant has outdoor and indoor seating

This is our day 2 in Bali or specifically Ubud. We got the hotel shuttle to drop us at this restaurant in Ubud town. It is located after the Bintang Supermarket or about 10-minute drive from town. Look out for the restaurant on your left after you have passed Bintang Supermarket.

It clearly says no MSG used in their food. Thumbs up!

There were three reasons why we chose to have our lunch here. Firstly, we wanted to try authentic Indonesion cuisine. Second, it prided itself on serving MSG-free food. That was what we wanted ~ healthy food. Thirdly, we were interested to visit their paddy fields.

Wooden restaurant with Balinese wall arts and decors

Wooden tables and benches

A special table with a see-through glass top; spices of all sorts are being displayed in the different compartments of the table

We were a bit early (I guess) as the place was empty but the staff were all waiting to serve us. There were indoor and outdoor dining areas. We chose the indoors as we did not like the sun. The whole place was very cosy and decorated with Balinese wall arts and decors. The restaurant was a wooden house and they had wooden tables and benches.

Nasi Campur: delicious!

Nasi Kuning: yummy too!

Sate Bumbu Bali: mouthwatering...

We chose two set lunch: Nasi Campur and Nasi Kuning and also ordered a side dish of Sate Bumbu Bali. Nasi Campur means white rice with a variety of dishes on the plate while Nasi Kuning which meant yellow rice was actually rice cooked with kunyit (turmeric) and also came with a variety of dishes.

Vegetables planted in their garden

A nice garden in their compound

The verdict:

All the food that we had ordered were superb although we did not know what most of the dishes were called. Some were a little spicy but we were okay with that. The sates were very fragrant too. We thought of ordering more but we were indeed very full.

After our lunch, we walked to the back of the restaurant to view the paddy field. We asked a staff and he was very friendly and welcomed us to visit their paddy field. So, we spent another hour exploring the paddy field.
