A very short walk (ie. less than 1min) from the accommodation in Amed at Rumah Adi was Cafe Harmony. In fact, one of the owners of Rumah Adi recommended Harmony. It wasn't until arriving there that one of the waitresses informed us that the Harmony and Rumah Adi owners were brothers. Nonetheless it wasn't a strong enough reason to leave to find somewhere else.
Of all the more local places, Warung Enak (TA #1) and Warung Pantai were on my list, but not knowing exactly where they were and the effort involved in finding a driver to take us there meant close enough was good enough.
- Fish, coconut lime soup - thin soup with fresh fish stock and meat;
- Fried noodles - very savoury version requiring two serves to keep the flavour going;
- Kangkung (water spinach stir-fried with garlic & spices)
- Jukut blingbling (leaves of star fruit plant with red beans & fresh coconut) - polarising salad of bitter leaves and beans. I liked it;
- Pesan be mahi-mahi (fish fillets wrapped in traditional-style banana leaf with Balinese herbs & grilled)
- Mixed seafood BBQ served with homemade sambals - given the cost of 125,000 IDR (compared to how much things generally cost), expected more than 2 prawns, some calamari and piece of fish. Nothing special and not worth the cost in the end;
- Special pancake with coconut a la Harmony (green pandan pancake with fresh coconut) - simple dessert with sweet palm sugar and nice overall flavours.
It was a reasonably expensive meal given the setting and standards of a more local restaurant at 586,000 IDR (compare Sails was 680,000 IDR). The food was fine without being exceptional. I'd happily eat here again, but just as easily find something else in the area to try.
The last comment I'd make it that sitting outdoors in the evening eating under a roof light, be aware that insects may kamikaze into your food. Just smile and pick them out (they aren't small).
