Choose One Blado Dish from Every Category
What if you could only choose one dish from every Blado menu category?
One breakfast.
One small bite.
One main.
One dessert.
One beverage.
No second choice.
No changing your mind after seeing someone else's plate.
Just five decisions.
That is today's Blado menu challenge.
The idea is simple: explore the menu category by category and build your ideal Blado dining experience.
There are no right or wrong answers.
The point is to see how your choices come together.
Ready?
Let's play.
Category 1: Choose Your Breakfast
First decision:
What would you order if you started your Blado day with breakfast?
Blado's breakfast selection includes both ready-made breakfast dishes and the Make Your Own Breakfast concept, where guests can build their own plate from different eggs, proteins, sides, salad or bakery, and toppings.
For this challenge, choose one.
Option A — Egg Benedict
A classic breakfast combination with poached egg, hollandaise sauce, English muffin, chicken sausage, pork bacon, and mixed salad.
This is the choice if you want several familiar breakfast components on one plate.
Option B — Big Breakfast
A much more extensive breakfast combination featuring omelette, bacon, sausage, sautéed mushroom, baked beans, edamame, cherry tomatoes, creamy spinach, toasted sourdough, guacamole, mixed salad, and honey mustard.
This is the option for someone who wants plenty happening on the plate.
Option C — Make Your Own Breakfast
Choose your own egg.
Add your protein.
Pick your sides.
Finish with salad or bakery and a free topping.
This is the choice for anyone who does not want a fixed breakfast combination.
Your Pick:
Egg Benedict / Big Breakfast / Make Your Own Breakfast
Keep your answer.
You will need it at the end.
Category 2: Choose Your Small Bite
Now imagine you are not quite ready for a full meal.
You want something small to start.
Blado's Small Bites menu includes several options, from chicken and corn to dumplings and samosa.
Here are three choices for the challenge.
Option A — Corn Fritters
Crispy sweet corn combined with traditional Balinese seasoning and served with fresh dabu-dabu chilli sauce.
It is also marked as a vegan choice on the menu.
Choose this if you want something crispy with a local flavor direction.
Option B — Samosa
Golden crispy pastry filled with spiced mashed potatoes, carrot, peas, and aromatic herbs, served with curry sauce.
This one brings a combination of crispy pastry and a seasoned vegetable filling.
Option C — Surf & Turf Dumpling
Steamed dumpling filled with savoury minced chicken, served with rich fish gravy and fragrant sesame oil sauce.
Choose this if you want something softer and more savory.
Your Pick:
Corn Fritters / Samosa / Surf & Turf Dumpling
One choice.
No changing it yet.
Category 3: Choose Your Main
Now we get serious.
This is the biggest decision of the challenge:
Which Blado main would you put at the center of your table?
The local menu includes several distinct preparations, while the Nasi Campur section adds another layer of choice.
For this challenge, choose one of these five.
Option A — Nasi Goreng Pork Belly
Blado's Balinese-style fried rice with traditional spices and pork belly, served with crackers and acar.
This is one of Blado's confirmed best sellers.
Choose it if you want a familiar Indonesian format with a local direction.
Option B — Nasi Campur Bali
Blado's signature local plate combining steamed rice, crispy fried pork belly, chicken sate lilit, shredded chicken with sambal matah, fresh urab, grilled prawn, and onion crackers.
This is also one of the restaurant's confirmed best sellers and hero products.
Choose it if you want several Balinese components in one plate.
Option C — Crispy Duck
Marinated duck cooked slowly until tender and then fried until crispy.
Served with steamed rice, two types of sambal, onion crackers, and fresh urab.
Choose this if texture is important to your main-course decision.
Option D — Sate Lilit
Minced chicken combined with homemade spice mix and grilled.
Served with steamed rice, two types of sambal, fresh urab, and onion crackers.
Choose it if you want a recognizable Balinese preparation.
Option E — Beef Rendang
Indonesian beef stew slowly cooked with coconut milk, lemongrass, galangal, and spices.
Served with steamed rice.
Choose it if you prefer a rich, slow-cooked main.
Your Pick:
Nasi Goreng Pork Belly / Nasi Campur Bali / Crispy Duck / Sate Lilit / Beef Rendang
This one is probably the hardest.
But remember:
You only get one.
Category 4: Choose Your Dessert
You have survived the main course.
Now comes the sweet decision.
Blado's Sweet Temptations include four desserts.
For the challenge, choose one.
Option A — Pandan Pudding
Pandan pudding served with mango sauce, rice flour, and vla.
A good option if you want pandan as the main flavor direction.
Option B — Black Pudding
Black sticky rice with fresh fruits and coconut mousse.
This gives you a combination of sticky rice, fruit, and coconut.
Option C — Dadar Gulung
Coconut sauce, crepe, and palm sugar.
A more locally recognizable Indonesian dessert direction.
Option D — Mango Sticky Rice
Glutinous rice, fresh mango, and mango smoothie.
Choose this if you like the combination of mango and sticky rice.
Your Pick:
Pandan Pudding / Black Pudding / Dadar Gulung / Mango Sticky Rice
One dessert.
No sharing.
At least for the challenge.
Category 5: Choose Your Beverage
Last category.
And this one can completely change the mood of your imaginary Blado visit.
For the challenge, we are giving you three different beverage directions.
Option A — Coffee
Choose coffee if your ideal Blado moment happens in the morning or during the day.
It fits a breakfast visit, an afternoon pause, or a simple coffee break.
Option B — Coconut Mojito
The signature cocktail combines rum, coconut liqueur, coconut water, and refreshing mint.
It is listed among Blado's signature cocktails.
Choose this if you imagine your Blado visit as an evening experience.
Option C — Espresso Java Martini
A signature cocktail combining vodka, crème de Java, vanilla, and espresso.
Choose this if you want your evening beverage to bring coffee into the cocktail experience.
And if you prefer not to drink alcohol, you can choose a mocktail or another non-alcoholic beverage instead.
Your Pick:
Coffee / Coconut Mojito / Espresso Java Martini
That's five categories.
Now reveal your choices.

What Your Combination Might Look Like
Let's see how different choices can create completely different dining experiences.
Combination 1: The Local Explorer
Make Your Own Breakfast
Corn Fritters
Nasi Campur Bali
Dadar Gulung
Coffee
This combination puts a strong focus on local ingredients and Indonesian or Balinese-inspired flavors.
The Nasi Campur brings several local components together.
Corn Fritters add traditional Balinese seasoning.
Dadar Gulung gives you a familiar Indonesian dessert direction.
And coffee keeps the experience simple.
Combination 2: The Comfort Food Choice
Big Breakfast
Samosa
Nasi Goreng Pork Belly
Mango Sticky Rice
Espresso Java Martini
This table combines familiar breakfast food, crispy small bites, Indonesian fried rice, a fruit-based dessert, and a coffee-inspired cocktail.
The main focus is less about one specific cuisine and more about different comfort-food elements.
Combination 3: The Texture Seeker
Egg Benedict
Surf & Turf Dumpling
Crispy Duck
Black Pudding
Coconut Mojito
Now the table has several contrasting textures.
Poached egg.
Steamed dumpling.
Crispy duck.
Sticky rice.
Fresh fruit.
Coconut and mint in the cocktail.
This would be a very different Blado experience from the first combination.
And that is exactly why the challenge works.
Which Main Did You Choose?
For many guests, the main course will be the hardest decision.
Especially because Blado has several distinct local options.
If you chose Nasi Goreng Pork Belly, you went with one of the confirmed best sellers.
If you chose Nasi Campur Bali, you chose another confirmed best seller and hero product.
If you chose Crispy Duck, you went toward a different preparation and texture.
If you chose Sate Lilit, you selected a classic local preparation based on minced chicken and homemade spice mix.
If you chose Beef Rendang, you went toward slow-cooked beef, coconut milk, lemongrass, galangal, and spices.
None of those choices is the "correct" answer.
They simply say what you feel like eating.
Which Breakfast Did You Choose?
The breakfast category tells us something different.
If you chose Egg Benedict, you wanted a ready-made classic combination.
If you chose Big Breakfast, you wanted a broader breakfast with many components.
If you chose Make Your Own Breakfast, you wanted control over your plate.
And that is one of the interesting things about the Blado breakfast menu.
You do not always have to choose between fixed dishes.
The Make Your Own Breakfast concept lets you build your own combination in four steps.
Egg → Protein → Sides → Salad or Bakery + Free Topping.
So if none of the fixed breakfast options sounds exactly right, you can create your own.
Which Small Bite Would You Pick?
The Small Bites category gives you another way to change the table.
Corn Fritters
For crispy sweet corn and traditional Balinese seasoning.
Samosa
For crispy pastry with spiced potato, carrot, peas, and aromatic herbs.
Surf & Turf Dumpling
For steamed dumpling with savoury chicken and fish gravy.
Again, three different directions.
And none needs to be treated as universally better.
The right one depends on what you want before the main course.
Dessert Changes the Ending
Dessert is often where people make a very quick decision.
But look at the four options.
Pandan Pudding
Black Pudding
Dadar Gulung
Mango Sticky Rice
They all create different endings.
Pandan.
Black sticky rice.
Coconut and palm sugar.
Mango.
So if you are creating a full Blado table, the dessert is another opportunity to choose a flavor direction rather than simply adding something sweet.
Your Beverage Sets the Mood
The same food can feel different depending on what you order to drink.
Coffee can make the visit feel like a daytime break.
A Coconut Mojito can move the experience toward an evening setting.
An Espresso Java Martini can connect coffee flavors with a cocktail.
And guests who do not drink alcohol can choose a mocktail or another non-alcoholic option.
The important thing is to choose according to your occasion and preference.
The Ultimate Blado Menu Challenge
Now let's make the game harder.
You have five categories:
Breakfast
Small Bite
Main
Dessert
Beverage
And you have to choose exactly one from each.
No second main.
No "I'll take all the desserts."
No copying your friend's choice.
Just five decisions.
Your turn:
Breakfast: _______
Small Bite: _______
Main: _______
Dessert: _______
Beverage: _______
Now imagine your table arriving at Blado.
Which item are you most excited to see?
Which one would you share?
Which one would you order again?
And which one would you probably change if you played the game tomorrow?
Make Your Blado Menu Challenge More Interesting
You can also play this with your travel partner.
Each person chooses one item from every category.
Then compare the results.
Maybe you both choose Nasi Campur Bali.
But one person picks Corn Fritters while the other chooses Samosa.
Maybe one chooses Dadar Gulung while the other goes for Mango Sticky Rice.
Maybe one person chooses coffee and the other chooses a cocktail.
Now you have two completely different Blado tables.
This is a simple way to turn a menu into a conversation.
It can even work as a Ubud restaurant game before you visit.
Save the article.
Make your choices.
Then see how closely your real order matches your challenge choices when you arrive.
One Menu, Many Different Tables
That is what makes a broad restaurant menu interesting.
The same restaurant can create very different experiences depending on what each guest chooses.
One table may have:
Nasi Campur Bali + Corn Fritters + Dadar Gulung + Coffee.
Another may have:
Crispy Duck + Samosa + Mango Sticky Rice + Coconut Mojito.
Another may start with:
Make Your Own Breakfast.
There is no single way to experience Blado.
The menu gives you options.
Your appetite decides what happens next.
So, What Is Your Blado Menu?
Let's make the challenge official.
Choose one:
Breakfast
Egg Benedict / Big Breakfast / Make Your Own Breakfast
Small Bite
Corn Fritters / Samosa / Surf & Turf Dumpling
Main
Nasi Goreng Pork Belly / Nasi Campur Bali / Crispy Duck / Sate Lilit / Beef Rendang
Dessert
Pandan Pudding / Black Pudding / Dadar Gulung / Mango Sticky Rice
Beverage
Coffee / Coconut Mojito / Espresso Java Martini
Now you have your complete Blado menu.
The real question is:
Would you actually order this combination?
If yes, save it.
If not, change one category.
That's the fun of the Blado menu challenge.
And when you are ready to turn the game into a real meal, visit Blado Restaurant on Jl. Raya Pengosekan, Ubud.
