Grand Nikko Hotel Bali - Food Frenzy

Hey guys! I am finally back and sorry for the quite long update. Anyway today I am going to discuss to you guys about the food that they serve in Grand Nikko Nusa Dua Bali, specifically the room service and the breakfast (while next week I will be discussing about a restaurant in the hotel). To tell you guys the truth I was very excited to try the food here because it is a five star hotel and Grand Nikko is a famous hotel developer so I was really looking forward to try the food here. Without further ado, let us begin!

Room Service 

We (my family) ordered the room service on the first night because we were hungry and it was raining outside so that situation disabled us to get food outside. We decide to order room service. We ordered Grilled Chicken Sandwich, Tenderloin Steak and Grilled Beef Burger. 


My first bite of the sandwich was awesome, it tasted so much better than I expected and of course the chicken was grilled to perfection. Everything about this dish is marvelous, it is fresh, delicious and of course fulfilling. The salad on the side was very fresh and delicious, it is indeed a good complementary dish.


My first bite of the burger was really different, it was heavenly. Definitely one of the best beef burgers available (or probably because I was really hungry that time). The beef burger was served with fried egg, cheese, bacon and of course fresh vegetables. The beef was grilled to perfection and the beef was just really good, it literally melts in my mouth and the juiciness was just amazing. The toppings and the side dish made it so much better. Definitely a must try if you guys ever consider staying in this hotel.


 This dish (the dish that I ordered) was quite different from the rest. My first bite of this dish was okay, it is a good dish but I feel like there are lots of places with better steaks. The seasoning was a bit off point for me, but the additional mushroom sauce saved this dish and made it so much better. Overall I think this dish is pretty average, it's good but there are better ones.

My overall experience on the room service was really amazing. The food overall was really good and fulfilling. Unfortunately I didn't remember the price of the food , but I can approximate the price judging from its class. One dish would range from 90k++ up to 150k++ while the steak would cost about 300k++ all prices are in rupiah. But the price was just an estimation so it might be less than that.

Breakfast

The most important meal of the day: BREAKFAST! The first morning was really exciting because I couldn't wait to try the breakfast in this picturesque hotel/resort. So got up at 8ish in the morning and went to breakfast with my dad. The breakfast costed about 250k++ per person, this was pretty average for a five start hotel breakfast I assume.


That morning I tried the beef sausage, pork sausage, scrambled eggs and potato salad. As this is a buffet style breakfast so I did pick the food myself and the portion was also up to me. Anyways after I tried a bite of each I definitely feel that the best tasting dish on my plate was indeed the homemade beef sausage. This was just perfect, it tasted really good, fresh and smoky (which I really like in terms of sausage). The pork sausage was also good but the beef one is still so much better. The scrambled eggs was quite average, I do wish for it to be more creamy though. The potato salad was also really good and it tasted really light and fresh.


The temptation of getting another plate of food was real. So I did take another plate of food, it is a buffet so make the most of it LOL. This dish really caught my eye, since only five star hotels serve smoked salmon in their breakfast buffet (that is my current knowledge, comment down if you know a more accurate information!). So I did take some of these delicious looking smoked salmon, along with some fresh cream and a couple of baguette (wheat and normal flour). My first bite of the salmon was quite disappointing, since it tasted very salty and there is a fishy after taste to it. I was disappointed at how they process the salmon I guess, it would've been better if they just serve a normal smoked salmon. The fresh cream did help in reducing the salty flavor of the salmon, but still need improvement. The baguette, on the other hand, was really good and it is just made until perfection,


Overall my breakfast experience was good, but a bit average. I feel like some five star hotels serve better breakfast food so I do recommend trying like the common breakfast food (like sausage, eggs, pancake and waffle). Aside from that I think it is quite worth the price since I feel like some hotels serve breakfast that are more expensive I think, so it is quite good. I really wish for them to improve so my next visit would be even better.

The food in Grand Nikko Nusa Dua is really good in general, but I do wish for them to improve on some dish and keep up the good work. Overall I do recommend you guys to try the food here since it is good and fresh (even the jam/spreads are homemade!). I would rate it an eight out of ten (8/10).

That is it guys for today's post and I am really thankful if you guys read until this point. Thank you guys once again and have an awesome day! Make sure to tune in!
