Japanese-owned, Biah-Biah serves a delicious array of Balinese favourites. Nasi Campur, Sayur Urap, and even Lawar Babi. Vegetarian alternatives are offered, all prepared with delicious Balinese spices. Biah-Biah never stock fresh young coconuts (kelapa mudah) but make up for it by mixing and serving many other refreshing tropical fruit juices and combinations. One of the cheaper restaurants in the area. The only thing Westernised about Biah-Biah’s Balinese cuisine is the fact that they cook without chilli, but if requested chilli samba is provided as a garnish.
