May Long Weekend in Bali 2015 - Part 3

The following day I decided to go to work early and try to take off after lunch time. While I was at work, DH and Miss Kiki enjoyed the pool and beach. The weather was not conducive though, it was raining on and off all day long.

 For lunch I met with DH and Miss Kiki at Watercress Cafe in Canggu area. We had the Eggs Benedict and BLAT (Bacon Lettuce Avocado Tomato) sandwich. Both are quite good. Their juices were also very good. We were stuck there for quite a while because it started raining heavily and in the end we just braced ourselves against the water and left.

In the evening we hung out with our friends at the Fairmont, and DH also went to check out the Salsa Night at Batu Jimbar Cafe in Sanur area.


The next morning I ditched work completely, and while Miss Kiki and DH had breakfast at the hotel, I went with my friend to eat Balinese style suckling pig at Babi Guling Pak Dobiel. A lot of people commented that it is expensive and the portions are small, but to me it was just enough. The meal for two cost my friend Rp. 90.000 including drinks. Beware though, they do not have a set price. They can charge you whatever they feel like. If you want to dine in, you line up on the right side. The left line is for takeout only.

On the way back we saw this little guy at the hotel entrance...


And then we had some beach time...







After that we went to check out The Mulia Resort nearby. It was a huge complex, but it somehow had lost the Balinese feel to it.



One of the biggest hype in Bali right now is Cuca restaurant where they serve molecular gastronomy dishes. We all went there together and tried a bunch of dishes. Most of them were good and the presentation was very nice...

Cotton candy

Kids meatballs

Free appetizer

Mushrooms

Pumpkin salad

Smoked butterfish

Carrot Salad

Octopus

Shaved Bacon

Egg

Bali Breakfast (dessert)

Pomelo dessert

Chocolate dessert





For dinner we went to a Mexican Restaurant in Canggu area that was recommended by my friend. It was called La Mexicana. We had nachos, tacos, and quesadillas. All were very good.

Beef Tacos
That evening we moved from The Laguna Resort to Ibis Styles Benoa. For a budget hotel it was not bad at all, and unlike other Ibis Styles, this one has a swimming pool. Early in the morning we had breakfast at the hotel and went back to the Nusa Dua area to catch the waterblow. Unfortunately the wind was not very strong so we only saw small blows.... but here are some pictures...










On the way to the airport, we stopped at Pie Susu Asli Enak to buy and bring some home but were disappointed that they were already sold out! One last stop was at Sensa Koffie.... Good latte!

Nintendo Switch Sleeve Tutorial

Hi! I'm Kirana from woofkiki.blogspot.co.id . I am going to write an introduction for this blog post. We bought a Nintendo Switch in Japan.  I really liked it and played with it almost everyday. If you're wondering what a Nintendo Switch is, it is a video game where you can basically  "switch" everything. The joy-cons and even the game! You can also connect it to your TV. It would be nice to bring it around with you, but when you put it in your bag... Oh no! The screen scratched! So, this is a sleeve that will fix that. Let's get started!😊 Kirana Now the tutorial (by Kirana's mom)... 1. Make your pattern according to the picture below. It is basically a 6"x24" rectangle with a semi circle at one end. Note: this is not a printable pattern 1. Cut your outer fabric, lining, and batting(optional). In this tutorial, I used minky for lining and a pre-quilted fabric for the cover, so I didn't need extra batting. For batting, I recomm...

Where To Eat in Medan, North Sumatra

  If you talk to anyone about Medan, the number one thing that comes up is definitely the food. The distinguished Chinese-Medanese cuisine is known to Indonesians as exceptionally delicious. Just as famous is the Batak cuisine with its pork dishes and others. Now that we've been to Medan, these are our recommendations! Macehat Coffee Macehat is famous for their Avocado Coffee drink, but they also offer snacks and coffee beans. I've heard so many rave reviews for this coffee shop, but my final verdict is: it's ok, just so so.

Nasi Tumpeng - Yellow Rice Mountain Recipe

Last week, one of my friends posted a picture from her daughter's birthday with a "Nasi Tumpeng" in it. Traditionally, in Java and some other places in Indonesia, this mountain-shaped rice dish is served for special occasions like birthdays, anniversaries, and other celebrations. Below are some pictures of full blown Nasi Tumpeng platters. From satelitnews.co From bundatwinskitchen.files.wordpress.com From indochili.com Impressed yet? Well, the fore-mentioned friend offered me to come over to her place and learn how to make it so of course I gladly went! I am well aware of my cooking capability (and patience) so we made a much simpler (and smaller) version of it.  For the rice you need: 2 cups uncooked rice 1 cup coconut milk (you can put more or less depending on your preference) 1 stem lemongrass 2 bay leaves (dried or fresh) 2 lime leaves (dried or fresh) some turmeric (powder or fresh) water Here's the how to: ...
