I first came to Kuta, Lombok, Indonesia about seven years ago. It was wonderful! I was able to eat all the local Indonesian delicacies from Nasi Campur to Bakso in warung like operations and feel immersed in Indonesia ways, style, language and culture. I was close to a number of lovely beaches and had no fear of feeling cold physically or emotionally.
It’s over a year since I have been to Kuta, Lombok and I feel the confusion continues to gather pace. That wonderful experience I enjoyed seven years ago gives way ever more submissively to western food and fashion clothing outlets promoted by young Indonesian males calling me ‘boss’ with an Australian accent and forever ready with a disparaging word once I admit it’s not really what I am looking for.
Mia Mia’s Kitchen, see photo, however does feel it’s putting up a fight. A menu displaying a mix of traditional Indonesian dishes and simpler western favorites at realistic prices and providing service with a genuine warmth, it’s clearly become a favorite with the more discerning visitors, including me!! Bintang available.
