Fodor's Expert Review Dewata Minang

Masakan Padang is Indonesia's fast food, and Dewata Minang ranks among Bali's leading purveyors. To order you point to plates of precooked grub stacked in the front window, and it's served 24 hour a day with hot rice. The specialty here is rendang, a thick brown sauce for chicken or beef that also shines over daun ubi (cassava leaves). Vegetarians beware: apparently meatless dishes like sayur nanka (stewed jackfruit) often contain animal stock. Condiments include tasty acar (pickled cucumber and carrot). Eat your meal here or take it away in a banana leaf. Either way, spending Rp20,000 a meal is virtually impossible.
