Cak Asm
No, the name isn't the sound you make after eating here. If that were the case, this simple cafe would be named 'yum'. Join government workers and students from the nearby university for superb dishes at rock-bottom prices. Order the cumi cumi (calamari) with telor asin sauce (a heavenly mixture of eggs and garlic). The resulting buttery, crispy goodness may be the best dish you have in Bali. And it's under US$1.

Ayam Goreng Kalasan
The name here says it all. Fried chicken (Ayam Goreng) named after a Javanese temple (Kalasan) in a region renowned for its fiery, crispy chicken. The version here falls off the bone on the way to the table; the meat bursts with lemongrass scent from a long marinade prior to the plunge into boiling oil. There are several other excellent little warung in this strip.

Nasi Uduk
Open to the street, this spotless little stall has a few chairs and serves up Javanese treats such as nasi uduk (sweetly scented coconut rice with fresh peanut sauce) and lalapan (a simple salad of fresh lemon basil leaves).

Warung Satria
This is a long-running warung on a quiet street; try the wonderful seafood satay served with a shallot sambal. Otherwise, choose from the immaculate displays of what's fresh, but don't wait too long after lunch or it will all be gone.

Warung Bendega
Walled off from street noise, this lovely and stylish open-air oasis hums to the rhythm of Balinese pop music at dinner. Creatively spiced seafood is the specialty.

Warung Lembongan
Silver folding chairs at long tables, shaded by a garish green awning out front. These are details you will quickly forget after you have the house speciality: chicken lightly fried yet delicately crispy like the top of a perfect crème brûlée. The special costs 17,000Rp and includes ayam (chicken), rice, soup and a beverage. The KFC in Sanur wants over 200,000Rp for its deeply inferior mass-merchandised version.

Café Teduh
Amid the big shopping malls, this little oasis is hidden down a tiny lane. Hanging orchids, trees, flowers and ponds with fountains create a bucolic feel. There's a menu of meaty mains such as ayam bakar rica (barbecued chicken with ratatouille) but the real treats are just that – treats. Try the es cakalele, a refreshing sundae of lychee and coconut milk.
