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)

If you are concerned about the Australian yobbo factor, it is pretty easy to just stay away from the areas where they congregate, eg, Kuta. When we went we stayed at an Eco Lodge in the hills behind Jimbaran bay (Udayana Eco Lodge), then moved to Ubud (which is actually really busy these days so I would probably recommend staying in one of the quieter, surrounding villages) and then to Candi Dasa which used to be big with European tourists but is now extremely quiet due to the lack of beach. It is still a nice place though. The place we stayed at was called Kubu Bali which I would recommend if you don't mind climbing lots of stairs. Has the best views once you get up to the rooms.

However imagine if you added some great photos or videos to give your posts more, "pop"!

Hi there just wanted to give you a quick heads up.
The words in your post seem to be running off the screen in Opera.
I'm not sure if this is a formatting issue or something to do with browser compatibility but I figured I'd post
to let you know. The design and style look great
though! Hope you get the issue fixed soon. Many thanks
