After spending all morning snorkelling in Nusa Lembongan, we were ready for lunch, so we rented motorbikes and got directions from the helpful locals to reach Warung Nyoman.
Warung Nyoman is a house cum warung owned by a middle-aged woman and her two young daughters. The place stands in front of a fantastic view of the stone beach. They also set up tables and chairs outside covered with umbrella huts. The whole place felt surreal, like a setting for an exotic movie. We ordered grilled fish, rice, and veggies. While waiting for the food, we chilled with Bintang beers and felt utterly blissful. The food arrived, and it was delicious, especially the sambal (a chilli-based condiment), for which we asked for more and more. I was impressed by Ibu Nyoman’s hospitality. She was attentive and even gave us, the tourists, a discount for the meal. Warung Nyoman was featured on Lonely Planet.
On the way back from Warung Nyoman, I saw many patches of wet grass-looking thingies being laid out to dry. I then realized those were seaweed, the locals’ livelihood. The exciting thing was that the seaweeds were not only green but also some were brown. It was quite a sight.
Warung Nyoman in Nusa Lembongan was a gastronomical experience on the beach with friends; it was one of the best meals of my life.
