Frommer's Review

This is one hotel restaurant that is quite reasonable, and quite tasty. Located in the Hotel Bualu, the oldest hotel in Nusa Dua, Kolak offers authentic (in an upper middle-class way) Indonesian food, in little pavilions containing just four tables each, set around the swimming pool. Try the Rijstaffel, a sort of Indonesian sampler platter (Rp45,000 per person, with a two-person minimum). On a recent visit, it featured tahu telor (Indonesian omelet), empel pedas (fried beef in spicy sauce), pepes ikan (fish in banana leaves), sate, dere udang (shrimp curry), gado gado, and a lot more. (No, I couldn't finish it all.) Most of it was spicy and all of it flavorful, except for the watered-down shrimp curry. Bigger appetites could try the Seafood Parade (Rp150,000), a platter of grilled whole fish, prawns, squid, lobster with veggies, fried rice, and mixed salad--two people could easily share without going hungry. They also offer an American breakfast for under US$4--considerably cheaper than at the other hotels.
