Why it matters
Why Bubur Ayam 43 is worth your time
Many Lombok menus are built on chilli, shrimp paste and grilled meat, which are difficult for older travellers or anyone with a sensitive stomach. Porridge is a quiet exception. It is soft, warm and cheap, and a bowl can restore appetite in the middle of a long day of sightseeing.
The restaurant is also useful because Wikivoyage lists a street address, which is rare for small eateries on the island. That does not make it a destination meal. It is a simple, local stop in a working part of Mataram, best chosen when the rest of the group wants something mild or when you are staying nearby.

How to experience it
Ask your driver for Jalan HOS Cokroaminoto No. 43 in the Monjok area of Mataram. Wikivoyage lists bubur ayam here with dishes around Rp10,000 to Rp23,000 and drinks around Rp4,000 to Rp7,000. Check those prices when you sit, since they may have changed.
Bubur ayam is a rice porridge served with shredded chicken and toppings. It is mild, soft and warm, which makes it a practical first meal for travellers who are recovering from a long journey or avoid chilli. Ask for sambal on the side, and note that chicken and often egg are part of the dish.
Vegetarians should look elsewhere, though a plain rice dish may be possible if you ask. The street also holds Warung Sate Muslim a few doors along, at number 32, so the two make a short combined food stop before or after Mataram's sights.
