This Balinese chicken at Café Asean is served as two grilled chicken breasts (with the skin) heavily marinated in Balinese spices. It’s a great dish to share by cutting the breasts into small pieces and eating it with white rice. The chicken is tender and so fragrant that it needs the rice to balance it out. Though not on the lunch menu, I actually find this to be an ideal lunch meal. They will serve it during lunch but at “dinner” menu prices. That’s fine with me because it really just hits the spot, like a simple meal mom would make!

I’m a big fan of egg noodles, as long as they are cooked just right so that they’re still springy. These Indian-style stir-fried egg noodles include shrimp, egg, tomato, tofu, bean sprouts and some greens with a peanut sauce. A dash of lime juice all over livens them up even more.
