The
first
time
we
went
to
Ulekan
in
2019,
we
stumbled
upon
it
whilst
we
were
out
and
about
looking
for
dinner.
Not
kidding,
we
literally
followed
the
scent
of
mouth-watering
barbecued
meats
wafting
out
from
the
restaurant,
before
ending
up
there.
Much
to
our
pleasant
surprise,
we
found
out
that
Ulekan
served
halal
meats
as
well
(at
the
time).
The
design
and
ambiance
of
the
restaurant
feels
pretty
luxurious.
The
atmosphere
there
is
buzzing
yet
somehow
still
intimate.
As
gorgeous
as
the
place
was,
the
food
was
even
more
amazing.
Among
our
party
of
four,
we
shared
an
assortment
of
sate,
the
nearly
melt-in-your-mouth
Rendang
Sapi,
Ayam
Lalapan,
Karedok
(a
favourite
of
mine),
a
side
of
fresh
ulam
(raw
salad)
and
an
assortment
of
spicy,
fresh
sambals
to
our
choosing;
all
of
which
went
along
with
steamed
rice.
Everything
looked
immaculate
and
tasted
heavenly.
Ulekan
doesn't
just
do
authentic
Balinese
food
well,
they
elevate
it
to
a
whole
other
level.
All
of
us
at
the
table
took
turns
mewling,
groaning
and
whimpering
with
each
bite
we
took.
We
came
back
for
lunch
the
next
day
for
the
Nasi
Campur
and
another
serving
of
the
Beef
Rendang.
Best
Nasi
Campur
I've
personally
had
in
Bali.
Definitely
a
must-try.
Wahyu
was
our
server
for
both
our
dinner
and
lunch,
and
his
service
was
impeccable.
His
sunny
yet
calm
disposition
was
so
warm
and
inviting,
and
so
typical
of
Balinese
hospitality.
He
remembered
how
disappointed
we
were
when
we
couldn't
order
the
Signature
Balinese
Banofee
(which
was
excellent,
by
the
way)
the
night
before,
and
offered
it
to
us
on
the
house
for
lunch.
The
attention
and
care
shown
was
totally
unexpected
and
blew
us
away.
It's
hard
to
find
such
amazing
halal
food
experiences
and
certainly
hope
they
continue
to
serve
halal
food
(although
from
recent
knowledge,
it
seems
that
they
sell
pork
now).
Couldn't
rate
this
place
more
highly.
Easily
one
of
my
most
enjoyable
dining
experiences.
We
hope
you
guys
can
go
back
to
halal
meats
again!
Best
wishes.
