Motykas in Asia 2015 Part 8 - Bali

This post marks our last day in Bali with the Motykas. By the time I am writing this, I already went back to Bali and back. That is how behind I am with my posts!

We started the morning with breakfast at the hotel, followed by some beach time. The water was indeed, warm like soup! I... LOVE it!






I feel like I need to put the pictures below into context, as it looks rather disturbing without a story. lol...

So the kids were playing sea monster and Miss Kiki was saved and protected by mama whale...















And Miss Kiki was having the time of her life...












While everyone else continued their water time, MM and I went to Seminyak area to do some shopping. We started our shopping journey with lunch at Warung Made. Never go shopping with an empty stomach!

Nasi Campur + Gado-gado


 Then we walked around, bought some silver pieces... They have many different stores and designs...





Our friends picked us up in Seminyak in the heat of the day (bless them!) and we went over to Gusto Gelato.


For dinner we went to Arena restaurant. It was a multinational restaurant and most of the food we ordered was good. We had a great time in Bali but it was finally the last evening there. Early morning the next day we flew over to Hong Kong.



See you in Part 9!

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: ...
