Badung

Residents in Mengwi Village, Badung, Bali, transformed their private house into a burger shop. This place gives a new feel because you can eat a burger while enjoying the beauty of a traditional Balinese house. This place is called Majesty Burger.

Majesty Burger takes a different concept from burger places in general. Usually, burger places are designed in a modern style. The owner of this shop actually chose to keep part of his house.

At Majesty, you are truly invited to experience the sensation of eating at home. Because, all corners of the house can be occupied by visitors to just relax. Visitors can sit cross-legged on each terrace of the house.

There are around six bales or house buildings at that location. Everything is still accented with Balinese ornaments. The shop owner arranged chairs and tables in the middle of the garden. The atmosphere is cool because there are lots of frangipani trees.

Getting to the location of this shop is quite easy. The location is on Jalan Ganda Mayu, Number 4, Banjar Pengiasan, Mengwi Village, Badung. It is not difficult to find this place because it is just north of Mengwi 1 State High School (SMA).

Visitors will be greeted by a typical Balinese angkul-angkul or fence when they enter, similar to the entrance to residents’ houses in Penglipuran Tourism Village, Bangli. A variety of green plants are neatly lined up, ready to welcome visitors.

Once inside, buyers can immediately order food. The shop manager simply sets out a table in one corner of the house. Meanwhile the chefs cook the food in the kitchen behind the house. After that, the order will be delivered by the waiter.

“Buyers can freely sit anywhere. It can be on the terrace, it can be in the bale daja (the building to the north), the bale gede, or in this garden. I have prepared a place to eat,” said the owner of Majesty Burger, Kadek Dwi Oka Wirawan, Sunday ( 8/12/2024).

Kadek deliberately opened a shop at home to show the typical rural Balinese atmosphere to customers. Incidentally, Kadek’s house has not been renovated much so it still has the authentic character of an old building.

“So even though the food isn’t traditional, the atmosphere will be different. There are lots of burgers in the cafe. For example, people who come here often choose to sit on the floor,” said Kadek.

The idea of ​​opening a burger shop has been around since 2022. Kadek can’t cook heavy dishes, especially Balinese dishes that are rich in spices. So he chose to sell burgers which he thought was practical.

“There are people from all walks of life, but most of them are young people. They just like it because it’s not too noisy. It’s best to come in the afternoon until evening because the atmosphere is suitable for chatting,” said Kadek.

The characteristic of Majesty Burger, said Kadek, is its medok spicy taste. Even though he sells burgers, he has to adapt to the tastes of customers who are mostly Balinese. Apart from that, he claims that all raw materials are fresh, meaning they have to be finished once a day.

“Foreign food tastes local from Bali. If it’s spicy, it’s spicy, savory is delicious. It has to be strong,” he said.

The name Burger from the famous band

The menu names at the Majesty Burger shop are also apparently inspired by the names of world-famous bands. For example, the American rock band, Linkin Park. There are also the Beatles, Guns and Roses, Metallica and the Red Hot Chili Peppers.

Kadek likes listening to music from bands from abroad. Because of that, he used the names of the music groups as menu names, but tweaked them a little to adjust the ingredients in the burger.

For example, various variants of beef burgers are packaged under the names Linkin Pork, The Beafles, Meatlovin, and Meatallica. Meanwhile, chicken burger variants include guns and buns, chickago, and red hot chili burger.

According to Kadek, his shop could be an alternative place to eat burgers, do the math so you can get a new impression. Moreover, prices are still considered economical, starting from IDR 30-40 thousand. The prices of drinks there with various variants are also relatively affordable.
