Ole Ole Bali

.


We were in a mood for some Balinese food to relive our experience at the majestic island last year, so it was perfect when we found the Ole-ole Bali Restaurant, Sunway Pyramid. Stepping into the outlet, Balinese music greeted us and the decor was also well-thought out to reflect the island's heavy Hindu influence. You can choose to sit either at the normal tables or sit cross-legged at the platform with low tables.



For starters, I went for the Fredo which is blended milk accompanied by a small shot of strong coffee. The coffee is very bitter on its own, but you must pour it into the blended milk and stir. Then the taste turned creamy and delicious.



My wife went for the honey-mint-honeydew combo, which was served in a big glass. The taste was okay but the mint flavour was a bit too strong.



Lamb would be a major feature in a Balinese menu, so we ordered the grilled lamb chop. The meat was tender and marinated perfectly. Although this is considered a western dish, the spice, sauce and garnish served together with the lamb was enough to bring some Balinese elements into it.




We also had the nasi campur, where perhaps the rice was a bit too little-portioned. However the accompanying lauk were plenty - beef/chicken rendang, satay lilit, grilled fish, prawns, calamari and vegetables.This dish is something you can get across Bali - from Kintamani to Ubud, so order this if you want a little of everything.



When paying the bill, do present your Jusco Card to get a 10% discount. And spend some time to admire the Balinese decor - for us, it was nostalgic to relive some parts of our trip to one of the most beautiful places on Earth.

As for the Ole-ole Bali Restaurant, I would like to recommend it for your special occasions. The price might be a bit expensive, so choose your dish wisely. Selamat Makan!
