Naughty Nuri's

Naughty Nuri's just opened their second Jakarta's outlet at Pantai Indah Kapuk. As we didn't get the chance to try when we were in Bali, last night my husband and I dine there. Pantai Indah Kapuk now is in the process of becoming one of the culinary heaven. We spotted many new restaurants along and opposite the seniors like Tekko and Leko. It was around 9pm something when we got there so the place were not that crowded but also quite occupied. 


The place was designed moderate, nothing fancy, but I saw many beer bottles and cute piggy statues displayed. We sat in and started to order. My husband chose their signatures, Spare ribs (95k) and I opted for Pork steak (80k). The steak and ribs weren't came with dishes so we order a portion of French fries (15k) and Satay (25k). The waiter told me that my pork steak will took around 30 minutes to be served as they made it fresh cut. 





French fries came first. Unlike the usual frozen fries, Nuri's used original fresh potatoes, i loved it. The spare ribs was quite large, I took a bite of my husband's plate. The meat was tender, but I didn't really like how they marinated it. It was too sweet for my taste, i'm not sure whether they were using too many sweet ketchup or that was just their signature sauce. My pork steak and satay were also marinated in the same way, too sweet for our taste. We didn't likey! 

The waiters were actually polite, but one of them took our fries away when they were still some pieces left in the plate. I hate it when they did that. Overall, I wasn't sure why Naughty Nuri's ribs is so famous. Maybe it just didn't suited our taste. To me personally, only the fries were acceptable.

Babi Guling Chandra Bali


I was actually aiming for Ibu Oka rather than Chandra, but according to our driver, Ibu Oka opens around 11am while my husband is the type of person who need to have his breakfast early. So we headed to Babi Guling Chandra who opened earlier around 9am. I was never a fan of pork, but I was very curious about this place as Ibu Oka and Chandra was always at the list to go places for those who visited Bali. 


Babi Guling Chandra was located at Teuku Umar street and the place was quite big. It was designed like typical Balinese restaurant but moderate one. We ordered Babi Guling special (30k) & one ordinary (25K). The difference was only on the portion of the meat, special one came with more meat.

I can't give fair review on this one as again, I was never a pork lover so when the dish came, I was like... haiiizzz too many pork attack, no vegetables at all. When I ate it, I found that pork smell which I never like and too many oil. Again, it was not a fair review. My husband found it ok although not as special as we thought it would be. After we finished, my driver said that Ibu Oka was still the best one, so we will surely pay a visit to Ibu Oka next time we visit Bali. =) 

O yes, make sure to buy the Krupuk Kulit Babi Asli (40k) and Pie susu (2,5k) at Chandra. It was very very yummy. The pig skin crackers was fresh, not smelly and very crunchy. The pie susu was like egg tart, I thought it will be very creamery and milky but turns out not. It was yummy, to me it tasted better than the famous Macao egg tart.
