Warung Bu Mi Canggu: Cheap Buffet Nasi Campur Among the Pricey Cafes

Cafe prices in Canggu keep climbing, and a simple breakfast can run to Rp150k. Luckily the Batu Bolong strip still hides a rescue plan: Warung Bu Mi, a buffet-style warung of Indonesian home cooking with generous portions and sane prices. You point at what you want, the staff stack it onto rice, and you leave full without regretting your wallet.

How It Works: Point, Pile, Pay

The system is classic warung buffet. First choose your rice — white, yellow or red — then point at the dishes and vegetables in the display cabinet. The more protein you add, the higher the total climbs, so you are genuinely in control of what you spend.

What Belongs on Your Plate

• Nasi campur — rice with an assortment of sides you pick yourself, the main event here and the reason people come back.
• Tempe goreng and spiced long beans — fried fermented soybean cake and green beans, the two vegetable sides that run out first.
• Grilled chicken or fish — the protein upgrade that makes the plate feel complete.
• Sambal — the chilli relish is genuinely hot; take a small spoonful first to gauge it.

How to Skip the Queue

• Lunch, roughly noon to 2pm, is the busiest stretch. Arriving at 11.30am or after 3pm is far calmer.
• The widest choice appears when fresh batches come out, in the morning and early evening.
• Motorbike parking is available out front; bringing a car is awkward because Batu Bolong jams often.
• Check the total before you pay — a few guests have reported discrepancies on the bill.
• Bring cash. QRIS is usually available, but cash is always safe at a warung.
