Ibu Mangku Chicken Rice, Ubud, Bali

You know you've come across something good when local crowd is swarming an eatery.

This local warung (hawker) has served traditional Balinese chicken rice for as long as the locals can remember.


They only serve one dish, THE chicken rice, accompanied by a variety of freshly squeezed juices.

The meal is hearty, plentiful, healthy (chicken and vegetables are organic - as many locals grow and produce locally).

It consists of three chicken dish (one curried, one fried and one on a lemongrass stick) with sides of local salad. The chilli (staple to many Indonesian food) is fried to crispiness and very tasty.

Ambience is very local and we only saw about one or two other tourists around, thus I declare this place fabulous and (almost) tourist-free.

The meal for two here cost about no more than S$5.50 altogether. Good for the stomach and healthy for the wallet.

Typical local spot - no obvious address, which makes part of the charm.
Why is it Haute? It's only 5 minutes drive from the gorgeous Four Seasons Ubud resort ;) (Meaning, spend more on your honeymoon resort but not on your meals)
