Cumi Bali Indonesian Restaurant

This is the most ridiculous thing here. One squid for 40bucks???

No doubt well cooked, the texture was slightly chewy but not as good as the atas restaurants(and even they sell at a lower price). The peanutty sauce was decent and unique too

But for 40bucks, steer clear

Overall this place is not special enough to visit, not at this price at least

It's got a darker taste than the normal rendang we are used to, and the colour reflects that. The spices were also not exactly the same, but the mutton was somewhat dry and tough

Not the best

Ckn was tender, the spices used were quite complex and not exactly anything I've had before.

However it really doesn't matter if it's put on a skewer or not, its not really a satay anymore because of how thick the ckn pieces were

Soft and medium bodied, not bad. Feeds 3

There's this strong spice which was very familiar, and the crispy fried onions were nice too

We had an enjoyable dinner here last week, where we tried out a few of their signature dishes!

I’m not exaggerating when I say that each dish was great and exceeded our expectations! From the fork-tender Beef Redang, to the Cumi Bali (charcoal-grilled squid) that was well-grilled and so tender, the Ayam Sate Madura that blew our minds (or rather tastebuds) with its flavour, and the comforting taste of the Sayur Lodeh, everything was on point! We paired all these dishes nasi padang-style with yellow rice and their signature sambal belacan that was shiok and fiery! Had to wash all that down with a Fresh Coconut and Lime Juice!

We definitely recommend this place if you are looking for an Indonesian restaurant in the CBD area. The prices are slightly steep, but the food is definitely worth the money for its quality!
