I remember Def Leppard's song--Pour Some Sugar on Me--when I want to give this post a title : )
In Bahasa Indonesia, garam means salt and lada means pepper, two substantial seasonings in every food on this planet. Garam & Lada is a small Indonesian restaurant located in Jln. Raya Kuta, Bali. It serves ayam penyet, empal, bakwan, sup iga and some other Indonesian dishes.
I went to this restaurant few days ago with my boyfriend. The atmosphere is so-Indonesia and very cozy with a warm lighting. The floor & tables are very clean--no oily spot on its surface, and also the waitresses are very friendly, that's what I like about this place! (5/5)
Cozy & comfy place...
I ordered ayam penyet and lime juice at the time. Ayam penyet is kind of marinated chicken served with sambal (chilli sauce) and lalapan (fresh vegetable--usually cabbage, basil and cucumber). I think the dishes were not very special in taste--rather vapid, thesambal was just like any sambal I've had before, so plain and didn't has distinctive flavor. The lime juice was kinda bitter and too watery. (3/5)
Menus
Lime juice & lemon tea
Luckily, the dishes in Garam & Lada doesn't cost much money. The price ranges between IDR 3,000 until 25,000. Yeah, you get what you paid for. (4/5)
So, if you are in Bali and you want to hang out with your friends, wish a comfy place with a low budget, I'll recommend you this place. But don't have a high expectation of fantastic dishes! You'll ain't get it. Well yeaaah, that was a humble review of Garam & Lada based on my tounge and parietal lobes of my brain. See ya next time people!
So sorry for low-res pics : (
