A Week in Bali Easter 2016 - Part 1

 During the Easter week this year, I had the opportunity to get an assignment in Bali. Why of course it is an opportunity not to be missed! Miss Kiki had a term break and Easter break in one so the timing was really good. Lucky for us, DH was able to get time off/work-from-Bali arrangement.

We arrived at the Ngurah Rai airport on Saturday morning, and we were supposed to be picked up by our friends there. Little did I know, someone from my work place actually came and picked us up. It was very nice of them! So we asked to get dropped off at a restaurant for lunch.

At the airport

Babi Guling
At the restaurant we met up with our friends and went over to their house. We were staying there on the first night. It is an airbnb spot, you can view it here. If you ever need a place to stay in Bali I would really recommend booking their place.

So we went to have some gelato afterwards...


Then we went to the Beachwalk and walked along the busy Kuta beach around sunset...





And then for dinner we went to a Greek eatery called Warung Souvlaki. It was inexpensive and pretty good.




The next morning of course Miss Kiki got up before we did... she was super excited. She got to watch the Koi fish feeding...




Then we had some tea... how nice!


For brunch we went to a cafe attached to a supermarket... I can't remember what it was called :(


Look at how expensive this Haagen Dazs bar is!! Crazy!


On the way to our hotel in Denpasar, we passed by a large group of Balinese people lead by the civil 'police' called Pecalang on the road, demonstrating the reclamation project. It was a pretty big event that caused some serious traffic jam.







Our workplace booked the Grand Mirah Hotel in Denpasar for me and my colleagues. It's a small hotel but clean and nice, about 15 minutes away from the work place.


 For dinner we went to Il Pomodoro restaurant. The only Italian restaurant in Denpasar, I was told. It was good though, they have a large selection of food and they were pretty good.


So that was our first two days in Bali, stay tuned for the next post!

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...

  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: ...
