# Fat Chow, Kuta: Shrimp Noodles, Yellow Rice and Coffee on Jalan Poppies II

*Noodles with shrimp at Fat Chow in September 2019.*

Fat Chow is an Asian restaurant on Jalan Poppies II in Kuta, Bali, where in September 2019 I photographed a plate of noodles with shrimp and a cone of yellow rice. What's New Indonesia, in a February 2026 guide to Chinese and Asian fusion restaurants in Bali, says Fat Chow cooks from a family recipe developed over many years and updated with a modern touch.

## The noodle plate at Fat Chow

The noodles on the cover plate are thin and yellow, mixed with what look like bean sprouts, shredded carrot and strips of green onion. Shrimp show at the left, and a leaf that looks like celery sits on top. I can't tell from my photos which menu item this is. Wanderlog's summary of Fat Chow's reviews lists dishes such as Cantonese fried noodles, Fat Chow fried rice and Chicken Cashew.

## Yellow rice with dark brown meat

The yellow rice is shaped into a cone with red bits that look like chili in it. It looks like *nasi kuning*, Indonesian for yellow rice, which is usually colored with turmeric. Beside it are pieces of glossy dark brown meat topped with thin slivers, celery-like leaves, cucumber sticks, what look like shrimp crackers and a spoonful of green paste. What's New Indonesia's February 2026 guide names Akira Pepper Beef, Chow Pao, Fat Chow Fried Rice and Pork on Fire as dishes not to miss.

## Coffee under a silver filter

The last photo shows brown coffee in a glass under a silver metal filter that looks like a Vietnamese-style *phin*, which lets hot water drip slowly through the grounds. A second glass, full of ice, sits beside it on a small saucer.

## Before you go

- Fat Chow's hours are 10 a.m. to 10 p.m. every day, according to Wanderlog's undated listing (checked Nov 14, 2026).
- A Google reviewer in April 2026, shown on Wanderlog, advises arriving at Fat Chow before noon for lunch and before 6 p.m. for dinner to avoid a wait, and says you can reserve through WhatsApp. The same reviewer notes that the semi-open dining room gets warm at lunchtime and suggests lemongrass tea.
- A Google reviewer in February 2026 calls Fat Chow's prices a bit above average but well worth it, and says that without a reservation you might wait about half an hour.
