A trip to Indonesia is incomplete without sampling the delectable local cuisine.
Mataram is replete with good restaurants and eateries catering to the tastes of
the foreign tourists. However some of these restaurants specialize in the authentic
Indonesian food especially dishes are indigenous to the Lombok Island. The Dua
Em restaurant of Mataram is one such dining option. Besides an array of delectable
Indonesian dishes, the Dua Em's menu highlights Ayam Taliwang, a chicken preparation.
Ayam Taliwag is a piece of chicken marinated in the juices of freshly ground spices
and barbecued on an open flame. Slow cooking helps retain the natural flavors
of the chicken and the seasonings. The chicken is served on a platter of hot steamed
rice with a serving of water spinach (kangkung). However guests who are unaccustomed
to heavily spiced food may request the chefs to use a little or no chilly at all.
The menu also features other authentic Indonesian delicacies such as the local
seafood and kangkung (kelor) soup etc. the food is hot and generous helpings of
pepper and chilly are used to season the food. Chilly sauce is a main ingredient
in most Lombok dishes though guests used to bland fare may request do away with
it.
The delightful ambience at the Dua Em restaurant of Mataram in Lombok is indeed
mention worthy. The décor is traditional Indonesian and food is served
on low bamboo tables. The guests dine seated on the floor or on bamboo mats
as in most Indonesian households. Regular tables and chairs are also provided
to guests on request. The thickets on the restaurant garden and the dense growth
of bushes and shrubs provide an excellent view. The Dua Em Restaurant is located
very close to Senggigi and a mere 15 minutes drive will reach you to this famed
eatery.
Dining at Dua Em is a pleasure in every sense. The delicious dishes are sure
to awaken your provincial taste buds and the toothsome fare is probably the
best in the whole of Lombok. The settings add an olde worlde charm to the restaurant.
