Soto Ayam in Bali

Soto Ayam and Anker Beer

This place, Kafe Dulang (Kuta Square Block C), is smack in the middle of the touristy Kuta area in Bali (surrounded by surf shops), so I was expecting the worst; they had things like club sandwiches and pasta (we came here out of necessity).

They did have some Indonesian food though. And to my surprise, the soto ayam was robust and full of hearty ingredients like hard boiled eggs, glass noodles, and celery leaves. The chili sauce was spicy without being sweet, and the squeeze of lime added just the right touch. Wow.

The Indonesian Anker Beer (not to be confused with Anchor from Singapore nor Anchor Steam from San Francisco) wasn't anything worth mentioning though. Not surprisingly, it was as bland as Bintang.
