Warung Ocha, Chef Yoshi, Seminyak, Bali

Not a great deal to really write up about the food here as I didn’t actually eat any food from Warung Ocha, Chef Yoshi, Seminyak, Bali. But it was a case of Mary’s flight coming in so so late, massive delays at immigration etc. to cause her and the munchkins to just want to get to villa, sit and eat, not go out. So I wandered up the road to get, originally, some JFC. This is a classic by the way, as it is a massive p*ss take and plagiarise of the USA counterpart KFC of course. JFC = Java Fried Chicken. It is GENIUS!!! But that was shut – so my alternative was another 5 minute walk to this other local joint.

“I give you this award for creating an Indonesian fast food-chain that is the funniest piss take of KFC I have ever seen. You are the man, terima kasih!!!”

8 Chefs, all ladies with one lad running around them. Huge kitchen knocking up incredible local and Western delights – just brilliant!!! Yep she is the matriarch.

This is all our food on the go at about 4 different cooking stations. We are keeping them busy right now.

It’s just a cracking joint with a big recommendation from the guys in our villa. It’s literally at the top of the road where the villa was, and on the corner of Seminyak main drag. Locals and tourists unite place, get in there!!!

Yeo the munchkins are hungry hungry hungry!!!

It’s dinner time – eat up family!!! Yummo!!!

Daddy-Pedia time. A warung is an old Indonesian family business, usually a cafe or restaurant. Now though, like in Bali, it has a more tourist spin to mean ‘modest’ restaurant, not top drawer or $$$$, or a place to go buy your Indonesian essentials. But bless the Indonesians who keep its history – it is a family-owned business, run by family members, usually women, often in the front room of the family house. In Philippines it is very similar, and they are called Sari Sari. Traditional warungs are made from wooden, bamboo or thatched materials – you saw us on White Sand Beach right. That’s them. Warung Ocha, Chef Yoshi, Seminyak, Bali is much more established than that, and it is busy folks, it is BUSY!!!
