Karang Beach in Sanur, Denpasar, Bali, not only offers stunning panoramic views but also serves as a fascinating culinary destination. One of the standout dishes here is bubur kuah and tipat kuah, specialties of Dewa Raka. With affordable prices and a distinctive taste, these dishes have attracted customers from various backgrounds, including both local and international tourists.
Dewa Raka’s bubur kuah is a unique blend of traditional Balinese porridge and a special variation from Gianyar. While Balinese porridge typically consists of coconut, vegetable salad (urap), and eggs, the Gianyar version includes serundeng (spiced grated coconut) and bumbu kaples, adding a richer flavor. The fusion of these two styles creates a perfect harmony of taste, making it enjoyable even for first-time visitors.
Besides bubur kuah, tipat kuah is another customer favorite. This dish combines ketupat (compressed rice cake) with a flavorful spiced broth, complemented by a variety of toppings such as chicken, tofu, tempeh, chicken feet, and eggs. To enhance the experience, fresh urap (vegetable salad with grated coconut) is also served. Interestingly, this dish can be customized for foreign visitors who prefer a vegetarian option by substituting meat-based toppings with tofu and tempeh.
The prices are incredibly budget-friendly, starting from IDR 10,000 for a standard portion up to IDR 20,000 for a special menu with additional eggs and chicken feet. Despite occasional unfavorable weather, this humble eatery manages to sell up to 50 portions of bubur and 50 portions of tipat kuah daily, proving its special place in the hearts of traditional food lovers.
For those eager to try it, bubur kuah Dewa Raka is available every afternoon from 4:00 PM to 7:30 PM WITA. On weekends, the stall opens earlier, from 7:30 AM to 11:00 AM, before continuing its usual afternoon session.
With its authentic flavors, affordable prices, and a relaxing beachfront atmosphere, bubur kuah Dewa Raka at Karang Beach, Sanur, is a perfect choice for anyone looking to savor traditional dishes with a signature Balinese touch. (BT)
