Kuta & Legian
If you haven't tried Masakan Padang food yet, you haven't eaten proper Indonesian. Saleko is a great place to sample this simple, delicious and cheap Sumatran street food. Spicy grilled chicken and fish dare you to ladle on the volcanic sambal – not de-spiced for timid tourist palates. For vegetarians there's also tasty tofu, cooked jackfruit and flavourful eggplant.
All dishes are halal; there's no alcohol.
