Eat

---

For local food, try Night Market. It is about 2 km from hotel zone (Mercure, Hyatt), bemo costs 10.000 rps (June 2007), for walkers just follow the main street. As for hygiene, food is absolutely save. You may be able to remember the local names nasi for rice and mie for noodles, but with the rest, it is easier just to show what you want to eat. Expect 1 serving for maximum 10.000 rps, the same price for large beer (local, but surprisingly good).

Nice experience is warung - a kind of 3-wheels cart with food, my favorite is soup bakso. Expect bill 5.000 rps. Sometimes locals bring you chairs frome their homes or shops, so you can enjoy your dinner directly on rush street sitting with loclals on wooden chairs.
