New Langsam Cafe, Bali
New Langsam Cafe does have a nice ambience, very cozy and romantic. But I went there with 3 other girlfriends, romance was not that important that night..hehe
Flesh was sweet, but I feel that the spices and marination was just too strong, after a few bites, I could hardly taste the fish..
The grilled squid was next.. ..It was fine, springy texture, had the smoky flavour. Though at times can be a tad chewy..
The grilled chicken was too dry and well, burnt..
The veg was normal...
But the worst dish of the night goes to the crabs!!! WF and Bollywood Q took the trouble to pick live crabs, and knowing it's fresh, wanted it to be steamed..
The cooks insisted that we have grilled, but we still wanted steamed. We were really curious on the cook's insistent.. And we finally understood why. The crab's flesh was soft, to the brink of mushy. Lots of ginger and spices to cover the fishy smell. We were very sure they did not serve us the live crabs we chose. These are definitely dead crabs, not even fresh.
We did not enjoy our meal and with the price of RM180 (total bill), I will kiss their @$$ if I ever return to this place. If you really wanna try this place (ambience over food?), it's located at Kedonganan Bay, Bali. Note: One of my friend ate at ths restaurant 4 years ago and said that the seafood as really fresh. Guess either the food's detiorarated or we were just plain unlucky..

cutting corners perhaps? i remembered i went to one Uluwatu Cafe along this beach. Was surprised that can bargain the seafood that we picked. I knew it wasn't expensive nor overpriced but that was back in year 2000.
