Motykas in Asia 2015 Part 7 - Bali

Our first morning in Bali was nice, we had breakfast at the hotel. Fairmont Sanur always have exceptional breakfast. DH flew in from Jakarta that morning and joined us there.


That day we went to Ubud area and visited the Monkey Forest. There were many monkeys roaming the forest freely. Most are friendly, but they do not like to be touch. They would touch you no problem though.



We had lunch in a restaurant called Pulau Kelapa (Coconut Island). The restaurant grew their own vegetables and spices and guests were welcome to walk through the garden. It was scorching hot that day we sure got tanned! The food was delicious and they also had home made ice cream that was yummy.





Believe it or not, after lunch we went over to another restaurant. Menega Cafe is one of my favourite in Bali. Despite calling themselves a cafe, they are actually a restaurant famous for seafood. Located right at the Jimbaran beachfront, if you arrive early for dinner (before 5 pm) then you may be able to get one of the popular beach front tables. So we ordered our food and settled our belongings, and went straight into the water.






















Stay tuned for part 8!

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.

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: ...
