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...

Spring in Egypt Part 9 - Luxor Temple

At the time when we arrived at Luxor temple it was already after dusk and it became a little difficult to take photos. I compensated by setting my camera ISO to 4000 to make tripod-less picture-taking possible even though the grains became more visible. Just like the previous nights, the moon still looked round to me. I wasn't sure which one of those moons was the actual full moon. We walked around the temple first with Michael for explanations about the temple. In the distance we were able to hear the adzan calling the people for prayer. Situated in the east bank, the construction of the temple was started by Amenhotep III, continued and finished by the famous King Tut and Horemheb, and then added on to by Rameses II and finally by Alexander the Great. Unlike the other temples we had previously visited, this temple is not dedicated to a single cult/god. Instead, it is used as a place to rejuvenate kingship. May of the kings were said to have been coronated at this temple. ...

Japan Winter Holiday 2017 Part 7 - Otaru Sakaimachi

On our second day in Otaru after we had breakfast and ice cream , we continued walking to Sakaimachi. This shopping street is one of the busiest in the city and is where a lot of Otaru attraction is located. In front of one of the stores there, we saw this cute dog wearing a Minion outfit. Of course Miss Kiki jumped and squealed and asked if she could pet it. We asked permission from the owner to take a picture with it. Along the street they have rock statues in the shape of famous characters like Anpanman and Mickey Mouse. With Anpanman It was a very nice day, we were able to walk around and had fun without feeling cold even though there were a lot of ice and snow. Check out the platforms they set up on the hill. We think that it's to prevent snow slides... Most of the buildings there were old style,,,  Many shops sell fresh seafood and they would cook it for you by order. As we walked past a souvenir shop, we saw a poster for these snowball make...
