Order the special plate; there is a vegetarian version too. It is very spicy, so ask for less chilli, and service slows when it is busy.

Order the nasi campur ayam (IDR 55,000), the crispy duck and the moringa curry. Pick a seat with a fan in the evening: the garden huts get humid.

Bird's Nest is a tiny home-style Thai kitchen of about 15 seats at the start of Jl. Raya Sayan, run by a very small team. It is the cheap, friendly counterpoint to the big view restaurants further down the road.

Order the tom yum with prawns, the pad Thai and the mango sticky rice. It gets busy in the evening and reviews mention uneven cooking on busy nights.
