Bali Nikmat

Let's face it, it's hard to curb your appetite for good Chinese seafood when you are on your holiday and Bali is no exception. Luckily Bali offers an array of good Chinese restaurants due to the availability of fresh seafood on the island. Bali Nikmat maybe a stereotypical Chinese restaurant with a big aquarium display of swimming garoupa fish, gigantic lobsters, sea cucumbers and humble interior. But one thing that makes Bali Nikmat unlike the others is that it is one place in the Island that has successfully brand itself as a "must-eat" venue due to their delicious fried prawns with salted duck eggs and of course overall good Chinese seafood. The prawns are fried whole with the shells and smothered in salty eggs that make this savory dish very addictive. It's cooked to perfection that you won't even need to peel the shells off the prawn to eat this dish and just crunch your way through. Not a dish you want to order when you are on a hot date.

Their other favorite is the steamed garoupa fish Hong Kong style but if you dare to get your hands dirty try their Lobster Kipas (Slipper lobster) with crispy salt, garlic and chilli sauce where the lobsters are cut in half and the pungent ingredients really give a boost to this dish. For starters try their Bali Nikmat combination which includes BBQ pork, deep fried bread with sesame seed and the cakwe in sweet glazy sauce to kick start your appetite.
