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!

 And then finally.... the airport!!



See you next time, Bali!

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...

Labuan Bajo 2023 Part 3 - 3 Days 2 Nights Diving Trip With Chakana Liveaboard

  Photo credit: Lukas Rissing @thestudypacker A live-aboard experience is one of the highlights of Labuan Bajo. It has been on my bucket list for a while but every time I tried to go, something just didn't work out.... until now! The opportunity arose to join an impressive-looking boat this year and the dates matched Miss Kiki's holiday perfectly, how could I not take this rare chance! With less than a month to prepare, we booked plane tickets, accommodations, and whatever equipment we thought we might need. So off we flew to Labuan Bajo with little preparation and a lot of faith. ;) You can read the first and second parts of the trip in my previous posts. After we checked out of our hotel on the third day, we went to the pier and hopped on to a dinghy that took us to Chakana Liveaboard, a 47-meter-long phinisi-style yacht that was going to be our accommodation for the next two nights. My heart raced as we approached the pretty boat and spotted a group of staff excitedly wavi...

World of Ghibli Exhibition Jakarta 2017

A few months back I received an email about World of Ghibli exhibition in Jakarta. My skeptical brain immediately thought, "Aah, how good could it be... I've visited the museum in Mitaka   and it's probably not going to be any better." Fast forward to August, a few of my Japan loving friends mentioned that rumours said that the displays are very good, made by Indonesians in cooperations with Ghibli representatives from Japan. In fact, so good that the Japanese company plans to take the displays and give them a home in Japan. Well hearing this from several different people definitely piqued my interest and I decided to check it out. It turned out that Miss Kiki and DH also wanted to go so I bought tickets from Traveloka  because they had a sale.  In the morning of our visit day, I asked Miss Kiki if she wanted to dress up as Kiki when she goes and she excitedly said yes. I made her a red bow headband with Cotton and Steel's Supreme Solid in Bandana  ...
