Dua Nasi Campur

They weren't kidding, the days easily turn into weeks in Ubud - I have never felt so at home. The people, the smiles, the culture and of course the food. You can eat for as little as $0.50 USD. Visit the warung at the east end of Jalan Raya Ubud (Ubud Main Road) towards Campuan. It doesn't have a name, we always referred to it as the warung in front of Renta's rice paddy. It is just past the clinic up the steep hill on your left hand side. They have the basic warung necessities (drinks, pastries, dried fish cakes, cigarettes, bras, face wash) and the best nasi campur (mixed rice)! The dish slightly changes from day to day. Usual ingredients: rice, the most tender chicken, tempeh, tofu, peanuts, glass noodles, dried fish, etc. The food moves fast so you know it hasn't been sitting in the glass case for too long. It is run by the sweetest lady who wears the biggest smile (not unlike all the other Balinese). We call her Ma.
