Off to lunch at Warung Maaaaak! Pick and point system

All that shopping must make you hungry again! This humble spot started with a noble cause to help the local Balinese who had lost their jobs and not getting a proper meal. Using the simple warung concept, offering fresh, clean, and healthy homemade cooking and a warm ambiance. “Warung” in Bahasa Indonesia means a place where you can get food or other goods, whereas Maaaaak is derived from the word “Mak”, meaning mother or ma’am in Bahasa Melayu or Bahasa Indonesia. The name goes well with their goal of making everyone that dines in feel like being at home. Its unique way of ordering from behind a glass rack is pretty common in Indonesia, oftentimes being known as the “touchscreen” system, where you point to the condiments you want to have in your dish. A must-try at the warung is their Nasi Kuning which has gained quite the review from their guests.
