Dapur Balangan

I left a five star review before, but I have to change it now.<br>Food was tasting well and the owner was very nice to us. We really enjoyed it there.<br><br>Unfortunately I got food poisoning with very high fiver just an hour after. It took me 4 days to recover.<br><br>I don't like leaving bad reviews and hesitated to write this for long, but I think it is the right thing to do after all. Found no way to contact the owner directly.<br><br>Please take care and find a way of cooling your buffet, things will get bad if they are in the bali heat all day long.<br><br>I think it was the tofu that was bad. Right after our order they also started cooking fresh food and removed the old one, so I think they knew that the food is getting old.

The staff service was great!<br>But<br>When we arrived, there was a really strong smell of dead meat!<br>I ordered chicken fried rice for 40,000 Rupiah, and it was just a fried egg.<br>Iced tea for 15,000 Rupiah.<br>My friend ordered mixed rice, but it was cold.<br>While we were eating, the staff immediately started cleaning (sweeping, wiping tables, cleaning the food display shelves, etc.).<br>The lighting was also poor, it was dark. We went there around 5 in the afternoon, and it was cloudy.<br><br>After eating, my friend and I got diarrhea. Maybe we had eaten something bad, but the last time I ate here, I had severe stomach aches and diarrhea this morning.

We visited here based on the good reviews and unfortunately did not feel the food lived up to these reviews. The service was great, we opted for two of the items from the menu (pad Thai & chicken satay) and found both to be very underwhelming. The pad Thai didn't have much going on and the satay was far too sweet. It's worth noting that most people who were eating there seemed to have gone for the buffet, so maybe this is where they excel, however we had read a food poisoning review from the buffet so were wary of this.
