Everything in this saung is unbelievably delicious. We ordered a big lobster, grilled fish, udang saus Padang, kangkung, and nasi liwet all of it was a solid 10/10. The staff were also incredibly kind and friendly. And price-wise, everything was very reasonable.

The food was great, we ate some menus: - Kerapu bakar: tasted amazing, this is off menu because it’s not always available, ask for it and if it’s available I highly recommend it, it’s grilled until some parts are crispy while the fish meat is still juicy, the fish is not smelly at all and people who dont usually eat fish can still eat it. - Udang goreng tepung: star of the show, the prawns are fresh and the coating is delightful, skillfully fried to perfection - Udang asam manis: tasted mid honestly, nothing special - Cumi saos padang: tasted ok, also nothing special - Tumis genjer: tasted great as a side. Only if you like genjer which is kinda an acquired taste. The guy is also very friendly and will not cheat you with expensive price, unlike other places in a tourism spot that would give you menu without price, this guy is upfront with the price and it’s really rather cheap. It took a while to prep the food tho so i suggest you order, then play around at the beach, then come back with the food all prepared. *didnt take a picture thi cuz I was too hungry
