Jala Food Court, Renon: December Blues, Overcooked Grilled Chicken, and the Crispy Savior

9:20 PM

December felt like a loop of small tragedies. It’s supposed to be Christmas magic; Bali said humid Tuesday. I’ll throw a Christmas party next year and personally bully the calendar.




Coping strategy: Jala Food Court with friends because they have Taiwanese crispy chicken, my emotional support snack.

Location: Jl. Tukad Yeh Aya No. 69, Renon (Bali)
Vibe: open, casual, pick-a-stall and negotiate with your cravings.

What we ordered (prices I paid)



🔥 Grilled Chicken IDR 20.000

Overcooked to the point I could taste regret more than chicken. The sweet sambal was nice, but the meat went bitter, so I benched it. Sad.








🍚 Fried Rice & 🥦 Veggie Tofu IDR 20.000 each (friends’ picks)

Review from the table: so-so. Edible, not memorable.






🐔 Taiwanese Crispy Chicken - the hero

Crisp, juicy, exactly like the ones I inhaled in Surabaya. I’d add curry seasoning next time for maximum drama.


Pros & Cons (speed run)

Pros

  • 🐔 Crispy chicken that actually slaps

  • 💸 Budget-friendly stalls (most plates ~Rp 20k)

  • 👥 Good for group grazing / low-stakes dinners

  • 📍 Easy Renon location

Cons

  • 🍗 My grilled chicken was overcooked (ask for not too dry)

  • 🍽️ Other dishes were mid—depends on stall & timing

  • 🔊 Food-court acoustics (not a whisper date spot)

Tips if you go

  • Lead with the Taiwanese crispy chicken; ask for extra seasoning (try curry).

  • If ordering grilled items, request “jangan terlalu kering” (not too dry).

  • For variety, split one safe dish + one new stall and share the data.


Stay crunchy, not bitter,
