Lunch at Teras Bali

Every lunch time at work we have the same tough decision to make. Where to have lunch. We've been to the Sydney Dance Cafe a zillion times, along with Simmer on the Bay, that great Thai restaurant on Hickson Road that's now closed down and all the other pubs and cafes around the area. For some reason though we've only been to Tera Bali once before. This is because it's normally quiet empty, rather than a reflection on the food or value for money. We ordered from the $15.50 meals, which given the Walsh Bay area, is not too pricey at all (although it's more than you want to spend every day on lunch).

We ordered x2 servings of the Mie Goreng - fried eggs noodle with satays, fried chicken, eggs, prawn crackers and cucumber pickles and one serving of the Nasi Goreng - fried rice served with satays, fried chicken, eggs, prawn crackers and cucumber pickles. I was told that the Nasi Goreng was delicious, with flavoursome chicken off the bone, which contrasted nicely to the crunch of the prawn crackers and the vinegar of the picked carrot and cucumber. Our Mie Goreng also came with one giant prawn cracker and a side of pickled cucumber and carrot.

 Both meals were a good serving size, and has interesting textures and flavours that contrasted nicely. Balinese is not a style that I eat very often, despite really liking it. The views from Teras Bali are also fantastic, you can see the Harbour and the rich people's apartments and yachts parked in front of them. This would be a great restaurant to go to before heading to see a show at one of the the theatre or dance companies in Walsh Bay.
