On our way back from Uluwatu, we stopped by Menega Cafe at Jimbaran beach for dinner. This place was the target for Bali bombing II. I love this place so much. We had delicious dinner under the skies and we can also feel the warm sand on our feet. We ordered : 0.8kg grouper fish 40K and 0.65kg Crab 39K grilled in jimbaran style and orange juices 8K. The meal came with a plate of delicious plecing kangkung. The seafood was so delicious with 3 types of chili sauce for dipping.

Uluwatu

Posted by jeny at 05:57 PM

One of my must visit place in Bali was Uluwatu, so on one evening we drove to Uluwatu cliff to watch kecak and fire dance there. To enter the temple we must put on a violet sarong with yellow belt. The temple was located in the southest part of Bali which we can saw a marvelous sea ahead. Around the temple there's a lot of monkeys. Some of the monkey were very naughty. They always try to steal the visitor glasses or hat. After a while we walk to a place where there will be a kecak and fire dance around 6PM. The ticket for this show is 50K/person. We're given a brochure containing the story/ brief information of the show. The brochure were available in several languages.

Most of the night we just wandered around Kuta traditional market where there's a lot cheap food choices : nasi pedes (java), bakmi ayam, soto ceker, several nasi lawar babi seller, nasi jenggo. All of it were very cheap (from 2K - 7K).

Tekor Bali

Posted by jeny at 02:15 PM

Tekor was located in front of Double-Six beach, a perfect place to watch sunset. here you can watch people surving, playing volleyball etc. decorated in a hut (warung) style with a view of the ocean, lovely breezes, friendly service & great choice of food (affordable price). Since we just had lunch at "Bundaran Renon", we only ordered drinks with a portion of "Bubur Injin" topped with chocolate ice cream and sat there for hours until sunset :)

Warung Satria & Warung Wardani

Posted by jeny at 07:15 PM

One of our missions in Bali is to try out authentic Balinese cuisine, so the next day we jumped on a bemo and headed to Denpasar. We wanted to try 2 restaurants serving halal version of 'Nasi Campur Bali': "Warung Satria" and "Warung Wardani". Our first stop was Warung Satria. The place was still empty since we arrived early. So we ordered 'Nasi Campur Special' (steamed rice served with shredded chicken in spicy sambal, lawar, balinese spicy egg, plecing kacang panjang, sate lilit ikan, fried prawn, complete with sambal matah) 16K. The meal came in quite a generous portion + a bowl of 'ares' (edible banana stem) soup. It was delicious and the 'sate lilit' (Balinese grilled fish satay) is the best compared to sate lilit from all other places we've tried in Bali.

Last week, I dragged SC for a culinary tour to Bali. After we arrived, we took a short walk around Legian - Kuta and landed at "Made's Warung": one of the more popular places in Bali, serving European, Indonesian, Thai, and Indian dishes. We ordered "Tipat Tjantok" (Balinese gado-gado / blanched vegetables with spicy peanut sauce dressing) 20K and "Rujak Kuah Pindang" (Balinese fruit salad served with fish stock) 15K. Overall not bad lah for a start :)
