Warung Kolega: Kerobokan Bali

Once in a while I discover a new warung. Sometimes it seems new and woderful to me, just because I haven’t been there before, sometimes its actually has something to offer. Warung Kolega on Jl. Petitenget in Kerobokan is a small local warung serving Javanese style food. You line up, get a plate with nasi putih (white rice), and choose items from a selection of dishes, which include a variety of fish, chicken, beef, tempe and vegetable choices.

At lunch time this place is packed with expats and Indonesians, a sign that Warung Kolega is good and cheap. Today I went over at 2pm and was the only customer. I chose grilled chicken in shredded coconut, grilled tuna in a sambal sauce, green beans mixed with red and green chili’s, and other Indonesian vegetables. A dollop of hot sambal made sure it was chili heaven for me. Cost 13,000rp.

The 3 staff at Warung Kolega, all from Java, trotted over and demanded to have their photo taken, after spoting me photographing the food. They’re not shy and I’m sure would chat for a hour if you wanted them too.

Warung Kolega is open 8am-8pm, closed sunday
