Roast House @ Gili Trawangan, Lombok, Indonesia.

Roast chicken in Gili? I was actually eyeing more on local food, but this placed was packed every time I pass by it, had to check it out what's the hype all about. Also my travelling companion did a google check and this place came out with good reviews:)

The guy told me it's gonna take some time for the food to arrive, but I ain't complaining as a big Bintang beer bottle here cost 30k IDR.

Quite a small setup for the shop, with tables laid out in open air. Word of advice, don't sit inside or directly in front of the shop, super hot.

Check this baby out, 40k IDR get's you a quarter chicken, heapful portions of potatoes, carrots and some vegetables.  Was it worth the wait? Yes! I reckon this was one of my best meal for this trip, big portions, affordably priced and it tasted damn good! The gravy complimented the meal well.

Night Market @ Gili Trawangan, Lombok, Indonesia.

This place is packed, and I mean packed! Basically outdoor sitting with rows of tables and numerous of stalls to order your food from. First and foremost I would like to apologise as I'm not sure which stall I ordered the food from, but I'm sure it all tastes good, I think...heh.

Ordered satay with a variation of chicken, beef and fish. Now the sauce is similar but at the same time tasted different from the norm that I eat, nevertheless it's good stuff. The fish was chunky slices, chicken was small(I guess it's ayam kampong), and the beef was just nice.

Ordered a grilled fish, so many fishes to choose from, opted a local fish, very good marination and fresh.

Grilled sotong, my favourite for the night. Overall there's plenty of other dishes to choose and order, but we kept it at a bare minimum as the night is still young. Off for drinks after this.

Straight to check in, dump my bags, and off to the hotel's cafe/restaurant. Next few posts you gonna see a few ayam taliwang, as it's the local dish for lombok. Ordered my ayam taliwang, Bintang beer, and chilling enjoying the view of the beach.

The plain rice was superb, local salad was delightful crunchy with a mix of sour spicy sweet taste, and the chicken with the gravy, good stuff. It tastes a bit like rendang but at the same time not. Good start for my trip.
