"Tempat makan tipat dan rujak khas Bali yang legend. Warung Bu Desak sudah sejak lama terkenal menyajikan menu makanan khas Bali yang enak. Rekomendasi saya: tipat plecing, rujak kacang, bulung (rumput laut), dan es dalumannya. Kekurangannya hanya tempatnya yang agak sempit dan kelihatannya sedikit messy dan kurang adem. Tapi kalopun kurang nyaman bisa beli makanannya untuk dimakan di rumah saja."

"Comfort foodnya anak sekolahan St. Joseph Denpasar. Udah puluhan tahun di sini dan ibunya udah biasa kali ya sajikan tipat tahu, baso, rujak kuah pindang, menu-menu yang turis kebanyakan ngga tau. Buat info, tipat tahu ini mirip2 ketoprak yang ada di Jakarta, isinya tauge, tahu, ketupat, dikasi bumbu yang mirip batagor bandung. Warung sederhana buat nyobain kuliner lain di Bali."

"The best Tipat Cantok in Denpasar (and very affordable too)! Have always been my family’s favorite since my time at St. Joseph elementary school until now. You know how some of your childhood favorites may disappoint you when you try it again as an adult? This one is not one of them. I had it again as an adult and I still loved it, so much that it became a must-go-to place whenever I’m in town. My favorite is the Tipat Cantok, the peanut sauce would be made upon order so you could customize how many chilies you want in there. My mum loves their Rujak Serut and Es Daluman. The place is small, so it can be very crowded during lunchtime. Best is to come in late morning (to avoid school traffic too) and have the food to-go. The owner is friendly too! Highly recommended!"
