Cheap Foods around Ubud: Pasar Tegallalang

Who says live in Ubud cost a lot?
Yes it will cost you a lot if you spend it downtown in the expensive cafes. Aside from those places, you could still eat cheap and experience the local culture. Blend with the local!
Not far from the center Ubud, if you head North from Jalan Andong (heading to Kintamani), you could find a crowd of local gather around in the local market. Food stalls/hawkers are there... from Nasi/Mie Goreng (Fried Rice/Noodles), Chicken Satay, Sate Kambing (lamb skewers), Gulai Kambing (Mutton Curry), Sate Ikan (Fish Satay), Lawar, Rawon, Martabak Manis, Martabak, Roti Bakar (Toasted bread with stuffing), Drinks Stall (mineral water, sodas, juices, instant powdered drinks, etc) and some other stalls I haven't explored.

Chicken Satay
Lontong for Rp 1.000,- each and satay for Rp 500,-/stick.
This one below is Rp 5.000,- portion which consist of 1 pcs of lontong and 8 sticks of chicken satay. The stall is located in the middle. My friends said this is the best chicken satay in Pasar Tegallalang/that area.
Fish Satay
Rp 500,- per skewer.
Don't mind the satay on the top which looks small... Ebi already bit it.
Jus Sirsak (Soursop Juice) - Rp 3.000,-
and the other juices also cost the same (probably except for the durian one which I think would cost a bit more). This juice is quite thick and taste good!
view from the top...
In the end I spent Rp 8.000,- only (chicken satay and soursop juce). Fish satay's are Ebi's. I stole 3-4 sticks (can't recall) from him (he ordered 2x).. I just need to try it anyway.. But it does taste great. The fish tasted fresh even it's in Ubud, not somewhere around the beach (even better than the one I ate at Jimbaran last Sat).
P.S. Recommended if you want to experience the real local - non-touristy - culture.
P.P.S. If you a girl like me (looks different from the locals) you might want to go there with your guy friends.. That time, even I went with 3 guys, some local guys just couldn't stop staring at me (good thing: they didn't drool) which is really really annoying.
FYI I didn't wear my short short or any of my mini dresses that day. I wore knee-length batik loose short and a tee + a jacket...
