I’ve had my eye on Bali Bali for a while as being that lonely beast, an Indonesian restaurant in London. With Britain’s colonial history skewing South East Asian food towards Malaysia (though I now realise that I haven’t been to a Malaysian place in these posts) the only previous occasion I’ve gone for Indonesian was…

Good quality Vietnamese eats and a pleasant surprise on the beer front.
On the back of a battering at the hands of Ardleigh we repaired to the local pub for a chat with the opposition and some grub. Roast salmon was very good with plenty of spuds but a slight paucity of veg. Not quite up to the Swan’s standards but still good value for money. 7/10
