eat: Easily as many restaurants and warungs as there are losmens. Go to different places for different specialties-the best vegetable soup at the Bamboo Den, Rp75 (also great enchiladas); best gado2 and nasi campur at the Post Office Restoran; best prawn salad at the Free Bar and Restaurant; best banana daiquiries at Poppies, etc. If you get misty for home some places serve toast and vegemite or peanut butter and honey sandwiches, Rp100 None of the food on Kuta is really first class; only in Sanur are there really fine (and expensive) restaurants. Even Kuta's better restaurants have their off-days. Some dishes, like 'vegetable pie', somehow get lost in the translation. 'Vegetable pie' could end up as just a pancake with vegies inside. For the cheapest food: fried tahu carts, Rp25-50; goose and noodle soup carts, Rp50; sweet mungbean soup, Rp10-25; baked corn, Rp25 per. The back lane warungs are good for the money, heaps of food. Most nasi campurs cost Rp150 in the warungs. Though it costs Rp2000 for a mediocre meal at Yasa Samudra's Restaurant, you can eat quite satisfyingly in the warungs out in front of it for Rp150. Buy big papayas for Rp125-150. Buy wedges of tempe (Rp10 each) in Kuta Market and take them to Dayu's or the Chinaman's on Poppies Lane and have them cook you up some fried rice. Several places prepare magic mushroom soups and omelettes, either the Rp500 strength, or if you just want to get a little bit disturbed, the Rp300 strength. The in place for breakfast is Allang's; also the very best jaffles, chili con came, and yoghurt.
