Kuta, Bali

noreply@blogger.com (M BALI TOUR) — Mon, 30 Jan 2012 21:24:00 +0700

Kuta is the best known tourist resort area on the island of Bali in Indonesia.

With a long broad Indian Ocean beach-front, Kuta was originally discovered by tourists as a surfing paradise. It has long been a popular stop on the classic backpacking route in South East Asia.

Back in the 1980s they used to talk about the three Ks: Katmandu in Nepal, Khao San Road in Bangkok and Kuta. Today Kuta still attracts some hardcore backpackers as well as families and tourists from all over the world, and is most notably a playground for young visitors from Australia.

Due to the ever increasing popularity of Bali, Kuta is continually developing, and is not short of unsightly, poorly planned buildings. It can come across at times to be chaotic, overcrowded and congested. However, amongst all the mayhem this place somehow works, and hundreds of thousands of visitors enjoy their time in Kuta every year.

Infrastructure has come a long way in Kuta, although it is still insufficient for the amount of visitors who stay in the area. Some side alleys still have significant potholes and road rules still don't mean very much. Most roads are constantly busy with motor scooters, metered taxis and private cars. Instead of using signals, locals and the seasoned travellers honk their motor vehicles to signal overtaking or squeezing into a tight spot near you. Oftentimes cars fold in their side mirrors when negotiating narrow single lanes with parked vehicles. Now you can access free wifi in local convenience stores, restaurants, cafes and hotels. There are half a dozen prepaid mobile phone sim cards available everywhere with competitive top up plans. Touts will persistently try to get to buy something from them, whether you're walking on the streets or seated in a restaurant.

The five km long sandy stretch of Kuta is arguably the best beach front in Bali. The beach is safe, partially clean, well-maintained, although the beach vendors remain annoying pushing massages, hair braiding, cigarettes and surf boards. The long wide stretch of sand is often full of sunbathers and although most of the serious surfers have moved on to newer pastures, there are still plenty of surf dudes around at most times of the year, and especially so during peak season. As you move north along the beach to first Legian and then Seminyak and Petitenget it becomes progressively quieter and less frenetic.

The area of south Kuta closest to the airport is more correctly known as Tuban, but this name is rarely used.

Once the sun goes down, Kuta is the rough and ready party zone of Bali, even after the tragic events of 2002. Even the most hardened of party animal will find something to please them on Jalan Legian at night.

Kuta stretches along the beachfront all the way from the airport to Legian, and small lanes lead from the beaches into the densely populated accommodation zone. To avoid traffic-related frustrations, the best option is a combination of walking in small lanes and using metred taxis or a rented motorbike for longer excursions.

SEE
Surfing, shopping & partying are the three main events in Kuta, and interesting attractions are very thin on the ground. The beach is of course very scenic here, if nearly always crowded.

Bali Bomb Memorial. This is a memorial to the 202 people murdered by the bombs on 12th October 2002, and is on Jl Legian opposite the corner of Poppies II. This is the former site of the old Paddy's Bar, and opposite the former site of the Sari Club, which is still an empty space, next to the Billabong shop. Every year on the anniversary date there is a ceremony mourning those killed or wounded by the bombs. Whilst viewing the memorial, please be calm and silent out of respect. The local Balinese will often be curious to learn if you knew or were related to any of the victims.

Beach offerings. In the mornings you regularly see Balinese people throwing offerings into the sea, especially when Nyepi is approaching. The best spot is the temple right next to the beach about 200-250m to the north of the Hard Rock Hotel.

Hard Rock Hotel is something of a tourist attraction and is definitely worth a look and the odd photo

DO...

Surfing

Kuta is a well known destination amongst surfing enthusiasts. A long sandy beach with a lack of dangerous rocks or coral, makes the area attractive for beginners.

Enjoy the sunset. In the evenings plenty of people head down to the beach or seaside cafes to watch the wonderful sunset. Be in place by about 5:30PM, for a sunset between 6:15 and 6:45. The area in front of McDonalds and the Hard Rock Cafe can be a bit hectic with touts selling spearguns, henna tattoos and massages. Going north, the hassle drops exponentially, with the Legian/Padma Beach area being a wonderfully relaxing place to watch sunset.

Shopping malls

Large, western-style shopping malls are hardly a typical Bali shopping experience, but the best ones on the island are in the Kuta area.

Bali Mall Galleria is on Jl Bypass Ngurah Rai right beside the huge Simpang Siur roundabout. Galleria is home to number of well known brand stores, a food court, Planet Hollywood and the best cinema in Bali (tel:+62 361 767021). There is a large duty free shopping centre [10] here which is aimed primarily at Japanese, Korean and Taiwanese tourists. You buy your luxury items tax free which are collected upon departure at the airport.

Carrefour Plaza is on Jl Sunset, just north west of the Simpang Siur roundabout. As well as being anchored by an enormous Carrefour supermarket on the top floor, this is home to an excellent Periplus bookshop, numerous small designer stores and the best authorised Apple Mac retailer in Bali.

Discovery Shopping Mall (Centro) is located across from Waterbom Park on Jl Kartika Plaza in Tuban. A big western-style mall with plenty of international brand stores on the ground and sub-ground levels, including Guess, Marks and Spencers, Sogo and Top Shop. The second level is occupied fully by the Centro department store, and there are many cafes and a large electronics retailer on the 3rd level. The waterfront cafes on the ground level have excellent ocean views.

Munduk Waterfall

noreply@blogger.com (M BALI TOUR) — Thu, 26 Jan 2012 22:18:00 +0700

There are still many places in Bali I have not yet discovered and explored despite the fact that I’ve been living is this sun, sea, surf island for about 9,5 years.

Munduk is same kind of the waterfall in bali, but the difference Munduk between the other like Tegenungan and Git git waterfall is Munduk still very hidden from the other tourism places in Bali.

If you are going up to North of Bali, to the highland village of Bedugul, that is famous with its Botanical Garden (Kebun Raya Bedugul) and Ulun Danu Temple on Beratan Lake, your journey can continue up to Buleleng, to the splash spot of the area : Munduk Waterfall. This is not only a visit to a beautiful waterfall place in Bali, but also a short hiking deep into the rain tropical forest of Munduk Village. Very recommended for Bali visitors after 4 or 5 days with skin tanning beach days and Seminyak night life, you should definitely schedule a day trip to Singaraja area.

Munduk is a quite village much different from the south of Bali area situated at 1,500 meters above sea level, at the Northen part of Bali, Buleleng. That’s 2 hours drive from Denpasar. After passing Ulun Danu Temple in Bedugul, turn left at Wanagiri Village, Munduk is about 5 km downhill from here. A special small parking lot next to a small ‘warung’ is available right on the steep hill road of Munduk village. Be careful when you cross the road as cars and motorbike are speeding up as they enter to an extreme up hill and down hill road at the same time, from 2 ways. Waiting for you crossing the road (slowwwly…) is almost impossible at that speed level.

The path way as you enter Munduk rain forest is a mix between natural trail road and paved way. You will have occasionally to share the small path with the villagers on motorbike.. Interesting hiking type!

You will be as happy as I was when the rainbow struck across the water right under the waterfall, leaving a shinning reflection on the river beneath it. Who wouldn’t be jaw dropped when you see this beauty of nature moment...

Munduk is very different and very nice trip to go there, because pass the jungle, village on the mount and village street.
enjoy the different nice trip in Bali to go Munduk Waterfall.
:)

Medewi Beach

noreply@blogger.com (M BALI TOUR) — Fri, 8 Apr 2011 15:24:00 +0700

M Bali Tour - This is a tiny, remote village in one of the least visited areas of Bali. It is very much a surfing hot spot, and most visitors who do stay here stay for that reason alone. For non-surfers, it does offer a glimpse of what so much of Bali was like before the growth of mass tourism in the 1970s, and is a great place to relax.

Medewi is located about 75 kilometres west of Denpasar on the main south coast road, about 34 kilometres further west than the town of Tabanan. Anyone who travelling from the south of Bali by road to the west coast port town of Gilimanuk will pass by here.

This is a great place for walking. If you want to hire a motorbike your hotel should be able to oblige and expect to pay around Rp 70,000-100,000 per day.

What to See

The beach is very rocky with some large flat grey stone boulders interspersed with pebbles and black sand. Not the best beach for sunbathing or lounging, but good for long quiet strolls.

Sunset over the Indian Ocean here is quite magnificent.

what to Do

Surf. The long left hand wave at Medewi Beach rolls all year and is popular with surfers for that reason. The largest waves tend to be in July and August. There is also right-hand break less than 100 metres away around the northern point. When the surf is small there is also a beach break, working mid-tide, over the river mouth about 250 metres to the south south. There are several other surf breaks nearb, including Balian Beach (30 minute drive east). For updates on conditions is is worth checking Medewi Surf Information.

Relax. This is a very quiet coastal village with nothing really going on bar the surfing, and the local fisherman doing their business.

Understand the origin of Medewi as a place name. This area was a forest with many Ketket or thorny trees. In Balinese, thorny forest is Alas Meduwi hence the place was named Meduwi which then became Medewi.

Eat

All of the local bungalows and hotels have restaurants.

* Cafe Tahu, (on the main coast road at km marker 60, 12 km east of Medewi Beach). A very populr eatery on the main coast road. Gets very busy indeed with traffic coming to and from Gilimanuk. Don't let that put you off though as the Indonesian food here is truly excellent and fantastic value for money. Right on the water-front. edit

Get out

The town of Negara is about 15 km further west from here and then on to Gilimanuk, West Bali National Park, and ferries to Java beyond that.

Price drop to Medewi Beach : USD 66
and we will find hotel easily.

Restaurant in Seminyak

noreply@blogger.com (M BALI TOUR) — Fri, 8 Apr 2011 15:06:00 +0700

M Bali Tour - Seminyak is very famous for the restaurant, there is so busy at dinner time 07.00 - 12.00pm on Laksamana street.
mostly famous restaurant is Italian restaurant such as TRATTORIA AND ULTIMO,but the other Italian taste is such as SARONG RESTAURANT and METIS RESTAURANT, (did you know that the owner of SARONG AND METIS restaurant is one people, so, he designed his restaurant basicly same.

The very popular LA LUCCIOLA (with a truly outstanding beach front setting next to the Petitenget temple and great views of Kuta's famous sunsets) serves a range of modern Italian specialties. We think it's always been over-rated because food and service have never been reliable. Recommended only for a "sundowner".

The long-time famous GADO GADO (at the end of Jalan Dhyana Pura) features a similar beach front location and has changed from a Disco to a restaurant again (that's how this legendary place started over 30 years ago). The setting is pleasant and the service attentive. The menu features freshly shucked Sydney rock oysters and fusion cuisine as well as some vegetarian dishes which are all well prepared and presented. The wine list is impressive for Bali standards and starts at around 450,000 Rupiah.

Another popular eatery with an outstanding beach front location is ZANZIBAR, Jalan Pantai Arjuna – turn left at the end of Jalan Double Six. The menu lists a good choice of Western and local dishes, seafood specialties and many kinds of tasty pizza. All dishes are well prepared, prices are very reasonable (many dishes are around 30,000 or 40,000 Rupiah, wines start around 350,000 Rupiah) and it's often difficult to find a table on the open terrace – especially on Sundays when there are performances of firedancers and djimbe drum players from 6 p.m. on the beach right in front of the restaurant.

MANNEKEPIS, Jalan Raya Seminyak No. 2 opposite the QUEEN'S TANDOOR, is a Jazz & Blues Bistro serving tasty Belgian home cooking. From Thursday to Saturday there is live Jazz which can be a bit noisy, but you always can sit on the outside terrace or the upper floor (which also features a pool table). We do enjoy the lobster bisque, the home-made Pate de Campagne, escargots and chicken Vol au Vent, but the tenderloin and sirloin steaks are also very popular. Belgian specialties include mussels and fries, Hamrollekes, Belgium Stoemp (pan-fried pork sausage) and "Stovers", a traditional beef stew flavored with dark beer. There are also a few Indonesian, Mexican and Thai dishes on the menu, and the drink list features Hoegaarden and Leffe beers and a limited choice of wines. Most dishes are between 35,000 and 90,000 Rupiah++ and wines start around 450,000 Rupiah++ per bottle.

In the center of Seminyak not far from Jalan Double Six is PANTEREI, a beautiful modern restaurant serving Greek specialties in comfortable surroundings. Panos Bournias, the original Greek founder, has subsequently moved on to the NERO Bali Restaurant & Bar at Jalan Legian 384 right opposite AROMAS in Kuta. NERO's design is very stylish and simplistic with modern furniture, huge mirrors, hanging plants and water features, candles and well-placed spot lights. You find on the menu appetizers such as tuna carpaccio, Thai beef salad, and a Mezze platter, and for main courses Lemon Chicken, lamb chops, cooked (not char-grilled) steaks, Middle Eastern Kebabs, and a number of seafood preparations. Imported wines start at 380,000 Rupiah, and you'll pay for a dinner for two about 250,000 to 350,000 Rupiah without drinks. They serve food until 1:30 in the morning, and the street-side bar attracts walk-in guests during the whole evening.

SIP Wine Bar, Jalan Raya Seminyak No. 16A nearly opposite the BINTANG Supermarket, was opened in May 2008. Owner Christian Vannequé (his brother owns the LIVING ROOM) became in the early 70's France's youngest Head Sommelier at LA TOUR D'ARGENT in Paris and was responsible for the largest wine cellar in the world. This experience shows: SIP's wine list is divided into three categories to help wine novices and wine aficionados alike. The 'Easy-Going-Wines' category introduces straightforward, interesting, sometimes recognizable-brand, excellent value wines starting around US$11 per glass and US$45 per bottle. 'The Sommelier's Corner' presents mostly proprietary wines, more obscure appellations, hard-to-find Chateaux 'second wines' and intriguing New World wines. The 'Wine Climax' features a few major outstanding and rare bottles from the Old and the New World including magnums. Although a constant 'work in process', SIP's wine list is currently comprised of 115 different wines costing from about US$45++ to over US$3,800++ (and Christian claimes he sold two of these bottles recently to visitors from Macau) for a bottle of Chateau Pétrus 1993 and is offering up to 20 wines by the glass. The kitchen is run by French Chef Patrick Chauchereau who worked in several restaurants with two Michelin stars in Paris before coming to Bali. He offers very enjoyable French home cooking at reasonable prices: there are escagots in garlic butter, home-made patés, Puy Lentil Salad, and beef or tuna Carpaccio. Main courses include sautéed frog legs, a traditional Cassoulet (our favourite), Tete de Veau Ravigotte (boiled calf's head and calf's tongue in Ravigotte sauce), sautéed calf's kidney and calf's liver, Hachis Parmentier (minced oxtail Bourguignon with red wine and mashed potatoes au gratin), hand-cut Steak Tartar, a delicious duck breast, grilled Australian rib eye steak and a traditional Black Pepper Steak. You can finish your meal with a variety of French cheeses or a number of tempting sweets including a delicious, freshly baked apple tart with ice cream. A very enjoyably meal for two will be around 500,000 to 800,000 Rupiah without drinks. SIP is open from noon till late. Come early, from 9 p.m. the place is usually packed and you find many of Bali's serious food & wine lovers, leading hoteliers and top Chefs here! Main courses include Duck Leg Confit, a popula Marocan Lamb Rack Mechoui with Pumpkin Couscous and a Grilled Black Angus Ribeye Steak with Sauce Bearnaise and Truffle Oil French Fries.

KAFE WARISAN, Jalan Raya Kerobokan, has been closed in October 2009 and will operate under new management from 2010. The two enthusiastic French chefs Said Alem and Nicolas Tourneville ("Doudou") who made KAFE WARISAN an institution, have moved on and have opened their newly built METIS Restaurant & Gallery at No. 6 Jalan Petitenget just around the corner. On the ground floor, behind the gallery, is the spacious open-air restaurant, one air-conditioned private dining room for 10 guests and the open lounge and bar overlooking the ricefield in the back of the building; up-stairs is a private room for large parties of up to 100 guests. On the menu you find a number of Doudou's signature dishes such as Roasted Mushrooms stuffed with Snails, Pan-seared Hot Foie Gras with a Raspberry Vinaigrette and a delicious Duck Liver Paté (actually, there is a special Foie Gras Menu). Other popular entrees include Tuna Tartar with Salmon Roe and Spicy Mayonnaise and a Trio Carpaccio of Salmon, Scallops and Yellow Fin Tuna. Continue with a Traditional French Onion Soup or a pasta dish such as Tagliatelle topped with Foie Gras, sliced Smoked Duck Breast, Shitake Mushrooms and White Truffle Velouté. Main courses include a Duck Leg Confit, the very popular Morocan Lamb Rack Mechoui with Pumpkin Couscous and a Grilled Black Angus Ribeye Steak with Sauce Béarnaise and Truffle Oil French Fries. For seafood lovers there are a Boneless Sole Meuniere, a Trio of Fish including Swordfish with Eggplant and Lemon Beurre Blanc, Yellow Fin Tuna with Mediterranean Vegetable and Tomato Beurre Blanc and Coral Trout with Eggplant and Saffron Velouté, or you can choose the Fresh Scallops and Prawns Provencal before ordering one of the tempting desserts. On the drink list you find a number of wines from France, Australia, New Zealand etc from US$55 to over US$500, a good choice of cocktails, five different kinds of tea, Espresso, Capuchino and Bali Coffee. Service is attentive and prices are reasonable as this is definitely "Fine Dining", and a three-course dinner for two will cost you about US$90 to US$120++ without drinks.

THE LIVING ROOM is located at Jalan Petitenget between the Petitenget temple and the Intan Beach Village hotel. This elegant open-air restaurant features also a bar and lounge, many tables in the candle-lit garden and has a distinctive colonial atmosphere with terracotta floors, high ceilings, paintings, antique marble tables and carved chairs. The menu lists well prepared and presented "fusion cuisine" creations influenced by Indonesia, Malaysia, Thailand, Vietnam etc. Appetizers and main courses are priced between US$7 and US$22 plus 15%, and there is a 5-course Tasting Menu for US$50 ++ which can include a Chilled Tomato Soup with a Crispy Bok Choy-Ginger Pallet and Red Mullet Fillet, Pan-Fried Foie Gras with Spiced Glazed Ahi Tuna Carpaccio, Gingered Sushi Rice and Cucumber Seaweed Grissini followed by Squid Linguini with Low Temperature Egg Yolk, Pancetta Cubes, Steamed Green Asparagus and Mirin Bisque Sauce. For your main course you can choose either Duck Breast with Caramelized Nuts, Crispy Pastillas, Braised Turnips and Baby Spinach in a Orange-Ginger Sauce or Grilled Tasmanian Salmon Fillet with Asian Greens, Kecap Manis and Wasabi Flavoured Mashed Potatoes, and then finish your meal with a Fluffy Vanilla Créme Bruleé with Strawberry Salad with Coriander. There is a good selection of wines from Australia, France and Italy starting around US$55 per bottle. Owner Daniel Vannequé runs also the "SuKHa Gallery" offering folk art, antiques, and furniture.

Very popular right from its soft opening in May 2008 is SARONG, Jalan Petitenget 19X near THE LIVING ROOM. Scottish Chef Will Meyrick (ex SENTOSA and SOFITEL in Bali and LONGRAIN in Sydney) added some Indian, Malay, Vietnamese and Chinese dishes to his modern-Thai creations: there are "Asian Tapas" such as Betel leafs with raw tuna, lemon grass, shallots and lemon basil, Betel leafs with salmon, shrimps and coriander and grilled scallops topped with crispy duck, Thai basil and peanut Nam Jihm served on a tasting spoon, Chicken Martabak with pickled cucumber and sweet sambal etc. which all can be served in the "Tapas Bar & Lounge" in front of the elegant open-air Dining Room with luxurious curtains and furnished with comfortable sofas and dining chairs. We love the salad from grilled prawns, pomelo, garlic, lemon grass, mint and Nam Jihm dressing and the Sichuan cured tuna with grated carrot, sweet basil, peanuts and Chinese plum sauce. From India there are the Tandoori butter chicken, a lamb Boti Kebab and a fish Tikka cooked in saffron, cardamon, turmeric and dill, a Northern Indian prawn curry, a lamb Rogan Josh, a Vindaloo curry of pork belly as well as a Dahl Tadka. Indonesian grilled snapper, grilled baby pork ribs, twice cooked chicken and crispy duck with two sambals are as tempting as Thai-style crispy pork hog with tamarind tamarillo sauce and nam pla prik or stir fried Asian vegetables with Thai basil. Finish your meal with a duck egg & ginger custard with palm sugar caramel, taro cake with crispy shallot, mandarin and fig compote or durian pancakes with coconut lime caramel and durian ice cream. If the choice is too difficult, just order a sample plate of Indian and South East Asian desserts. The drink list offers a wide choice of imported wines from all parts of the world starting around US$55++. The service is attentive, and a memorable dinner for two will be around US$35 to US$50++ without drinks. For reservations call 737-809.

KU DE TA RESTAURANT

KU DE TA is currently Bali's most trendy restaurant in a top beach front location next to the Oberoi Hotel. The modern architecture and interior design of the bar and dining areas go well with the "fusion cuisine" of the Australian chef. On the menu you find a selection of freshly shucked oysters imported two times per week from Australia and France and served with a champagne vinaigrette. There are many salads, grilled Australian yabbies (small freshwater crayfish), seared scallops, a seafood stew, lamb rib eye, venison rib and beef tenderloin. The interesting wine list features many wines from Australia, California, Chile, France, Italy, New Zealand and South Africa and starts around US$65 per bottle. Sparkling wines by the glass are US$15 to US$20, and bottles range from US$60 for VALDIVIESCO Brut from Chile to US$300 for a bottle of KRUG Brut Grande Cuvee. The service staff is well-trained and attentive, and prices are not cheap but still reasonable. There are comfortable deck chairs right on the beach to watch Bali's famous sunsets, and you can choose from nearly 30 Cuban cigars such as BOLIVAR Coronas Junior, COHIBA Coronas Especiales, H. UPMANN Connoisseur No. 1, HOYO DE MONTERREY Sort Hoyo Coronas, MONTECRISTO Especial No. 2, PUNCH Punch Punch, or ROMEO YULIETA Exhibition No. 4 from about US$10 to US$50. This is a place to see and be seen, and from late afternoon on Fridays and Saturdays there is a rather noisy DJ entertaining Bali's beautiful people.

More quiet is THE BREEZE, the restaurant of the THE SAMAYA resort near KU DE TA and next to LA LUCCIOLA. The spectacular but relaxed beach front setting, great sunset views, the sound of the waves and imaculate service make this probably Bali's most romantic place for fine dining. The menu includes a delicious pan-seared Périgord Foie Gras with ginger compote, Crispy Soft Shell Crab with green mango-papaya salad, a Lobster & River Prawn Bisque and a very tasty Cream of Forest Mushrooms with essence of truffle. The "Pork Duo" consists of Asian braised pork belly with tamarind glaze, seared tenderloin, sweet & sour cabbage and a soy-star anise reduction; the "Duck Two Ways" of leg confit and seared French duck breast, roasted cauliflower and a port wine reduction, or choose the Roasted Lamb Loin or Black Angus Tenerloin with roasted mushrooms, blue cheese and potato hash. For seafood lovers there are Pan Seared Sea Scallops, Wild Baramundi on preserved lemon, Miso Glazed Alaskan Black Cod, Nori Wrapped Tasmanian Salmon or Local Wild Snapper with truffle scented mushroom risotto. There is a Unique Dish of Four Pastas: Oxtail Tortellini, Blue Swimmer Crab Bocaleoni, Calves Sweetbread Cannelloni and Goat Cheese Ravioli, and a range of Vegetarian Main Courses can be prepared by Californian Chef Michael Shaheen on request. There is also a choice of typical Balinese specialties, and from the Dessert Menu it's impossible to resit the Macerated Strawberry Tartar with White Pepper Ice Cream! The extensive, well chosen wine list is very reasonably priced and starts at less than US$18 for a bottle of local wine and from below US$20 for imported wines from Australia, New Zealand, California, Chile, Argentina, South Africa, France, Italy, Spain, Germany etc. An excellent dinner for two will costs about US$80 to US$100++ (without wine).

The Oberoi Hotel's open-air KURA KURA restaurant offers the best Fine Dining experience in Indonesia since early 2007. German-born Executive Chef Enrico Wahl started his career in Dresden and worked subsequently in a number of Michelin-star restaurants including Munich's TANTRIS and leading restaurants in London and New York. He continues to surprise his guests by introducing new and always creative Tasting Menus. Enrico does not compromise and insists on using only the absolutely best ingredients and then overwhelms you with textures and tastes together with very creative and often extremely beautiful presentations. This is much more than outstanding hotel food, every single hand-crafted delicacy presented as part of Enrico's personalized Tasting Menus would qualify as a "Signature Dish" in other 5-star restaurtants.
You can choose either 7 courses for about US$90 per person, 5 out of 7 courses for US$70 or 3 out of 7 courses for US$50. And then there is the "Chef's 12 Course Surprise Tasting Menu" — the price of this is around US$120. Dishes offered are depending on the freshest ingredients available and can include a delicious Mushroom Nage with Espresso or a Pea Soup with Unagi, Alaskan Scallop Sashimi, Tandoori Baked Yabbies with Smoked Yoghurt & Black Salt, Warm Unagi (Japanese eel) or Flash Seared Abalone with Gome Wakame Seaweed Salad, Giant Atlantic Scallop with Apple 2 Ways and Foie Gras Foam, Pan Fried Sablefish with Black Pudding, Kangaroo Tartar with Quail Egg and Caper Vinaigrette, Duck Confit Pastilla with Pickled Mushrooms or Sweetbread Tempura with Savory Apricot. Highlights are Enrico's home-smoked salmon, the Seared Goose Foie Gras, the Foie Gras Créme Bruleé and the truly outstanding Marble of Foie Gras either with thin films of Valrhona chocolate between layers of the foie gras terrine or with apricot amber inclusions served together with a spherical (a la Ferran Adria) apricot or mango in a ring of white emulsion looking like a miniature fried egg — absolutely delicious and another reason to visit Bali! The "48 Hours Sous Vide Slow Poached Wagyu Beef Cheek" on Purple Potato Risotto and the Australian Prime Wagyu Beef Tenderloin are extra-ordinary tender but in our opinion over-rated. On the other hand, tasting the only occasionally offered Matsusaka beef steak (1.4 million Rupiah for this course alone) is really an experience you should not miss if available. The Tasting Menu ends with a Cave Aged Cheese Selection before Mixed Berry Gratin with Rum Sabayon and its own Sorbet or a Baked Whole Plum with a Plum & Green Asparagus Sorbet. OBEROI being an Indian hotel group, the restaurant offers also a small and much lower priced choice of delicacies from the sub-continent such as a Duck Biryani, Goa Pork Vindaloo, a tasty Lamb Rogan Josh, Tandoori Jingha Prawns, a Lobster Curry with Naan and a number of Indonesian dishes as well as some vegetarian choices. Imported wines range from US$60 up to US$250 per bottle and more. If you bring your own, corkage charge is US$10 per bottle. Quite unusual for Bali, prices on all menus already include the 21% tax & service charge, and the bill has a bold reminder "NO TIPPING PLEASE".
This does not make KURA KURA cheap, and a very enjoyable meal for two will turn out to be between US$80 and US$300 without drinks. However, the food here is REALLY outstanding (it has been put by experts in the same class as TETSUYA'S in Sydney supposed to be the 5th. best restaurant in the world); the surroundings are very relaxed and the service staff is attentive but discrete. During the humid rainy season, air-conditioning would be welcome although there is usually a good breeze, and during some evenings mosquitos can be a problem.
For a special evening, do call Chef Enrico one or two days in advance; if they are not too busy (they often are), he will be happy to create a unique menu just for you which you'll probably never forget! Enrico never repeats himself and will continue to surprise you even as a regular guest. Reservations are essential (tel. 730-361).

ULTIMO is an Italian eatery with modern interior next door to TRATTORIA. The front part is air-condioned and features a large square bar and a number of tables as well as the open kitchen, in the back is a pleasant garden section. On the standard menu you find Salmon Carpaccio, Tuna Tartar, Parma Ham with melon, Mozzarella, a seafood salad and a seafood soup as well as many Pasta courses including Spaghetti with hot chilli and garlic, Penne with mushrooms and smoked cheese, Cannelloni with ricota and spinach, Linguini with crab meat, Tagliatelle with lobster, Fettuccini with tuna and anchovis, Ravioli with fish or chicken and a traditional Lasagne al Forno. For your main course choose either a steak al Funghi, al Rosmarino, al Marsala, al Pepe Verde, al Gorgonzola etc. or Ossobuco, Saltimbocca alla Romana, tuna steaks, panfried red snapper, fried sole or grilled salmon, Frito Misto with prawns and squid. There are also many kinds of Pizza and over a dozen daily specials. The big surprise are the low prices: most dishes are between 25,000 and 65,000 Rupiah +10%. The small wine list starts at 280,000 Rupiah per bottle and 35,000 Rupiah for a glass of House White. Don't come too late in the evening, after 8 p.m. the place is packed!

KHAIMA is a Moroccan restaurant in Jalan Oberoi with very friendly and efficient staff, delicious food and belly dancing performances on Fridays and Saturdays in a tent-like setting. Appetizers include tasty parcels of filo pastry filled with vegetables, minced lamb, tuna, chicken or goat cheese. There are salads of tomatoes and bell peppers, cinamon and carrots or eggplants, all with spices added to give them more flavour. As mains there a various stews such as lamb and eggplant slowly cooked in an earthenware pot – just delicious! Choose from different kinds of Couscous: with lamb, onions and raisins, chicken with many different vegetables, vegetables and sausage or a combination of all the above. And then there are the grilled kebabs with chicken, lamb, beef and minced meat. Finish your meal with an Arabic almond and walnut cake, Baclava or an orange salad, Moroccan coffee or green mint tea. There is a very limited wine list, and a large and very satisfying meal for two will cost you about 400,000 Rupiah without drinks.

The Spanish restaurant LA SAL is located in Jalan Drupadi II, a small back lane which connects Jalan Oberoi and Jalan Gado Gado. You can sit either in the nice garden or in the open white building, and on the menu you find a good choice of Tapas such as delicious – and very expensive – Iberico Belotta ham from acorn-fed black free-range pigs (private import), calamari with Aliolis, squid cooked in its own ink, grilled Chorizo sausages, crunchy mushrooms and a delicious veal Carpaccio with foie gras and Manchego cheese. There are also a clam casserole, garlic prawns in truffle oil, grilled king prawns with rock salt, crispy pork belly with lentils and mango, twice cooked lamb shoulder and a mixed Paella with chicken, vegetables and seafood. There is a small choice of wines (prices are high), but why not try the Sangria instead? The service is friendly and attentive, and a very nice meal for two will be between US$40 and US$90 without drinks.

Good news for lovers of Indian food: finally there are some restaurants in Bali where you can enjoy the real thing. GATEWAY OF INDIA in Seminyak, Jalan Dyana Pura (Gado Gado) No. 10, is located nearly opposite of SANTA FEE. They offer a good choice of Indian specialties which will NOT disappoint you. Regrettably there is no air-conditioning, and sometimes you have to listen to very loud music from nearby bars and pubs. A feast for four or six is about 350,000 to 600,000 Rupiah (most dishes are 40,000 to 60,000 Rupiah). Bring your own wine, as the wines offered are not exciting at all and never properly chilled. Newer branches are near the Bemo corner in Kuta and on Jalan Danau Tamblingan in Sanur.

The QUEEN'S TANDOOR, Jalan Seminyak 73 opposite MADE'S WARUNG, serves now the same delicious Indian specialties in Bali for which it has been famous in Jakarta since 1986. Enjoy the mouth-watering delicacies from the tandoor oven or the slowly cooked chicken, lamb, seafood and vegetable Curries, Masallas and Kormas with rich sauces full of fresh herbs, spices, fruits and nuts. Our favourites are Masala Papadum, Seekh Kebab, Gosht Shahi Korma, Mutton Pasanda, Murgh Makhani (Butter Chicken) and Butter Chicken Tikka, yellow and black Dhal, Aloo Gobi, Navratan Korma, Raita, Garlic Naan, Cheese Naan and the delicious Peshawari Naan. There are freshly baked other breads such as various Papadums and Chappati to accompany your meal, and Kulfi, the Indian ice cream, is the best way to finish it. An excellent meal for two is around 200,000 Rupiah++ without drinks. You sit on the small terrace next to the busy road or at tables inside; there are two levels but no air-conditioning. As in all Indian restaurants in Bali, the choice of wines is extremly limited; therefore, bring your own and pay 50,000 Rupiah corkage per bottle.

Much more tasty food is served in the small SATE BALI, Jalan Laksmana 22A (the extension of the Oberoi Road) nearly opposite the SAMAYA Resort. The menu in this up-market Warung lists not only all kinds of Sate (small charcoal-grilled skewers with chicken, beef, pork and minced seafood) but many Balinese specialties such as Ayan Pelalah (shredded chicken with chilli and lime juice), Tum Bebek (minced duck steamed in banana leafs), Sambal Udang (prawns with chilli), and Ayam Betutu (seasoned chicken cooked in leaves underground). Or order the Balinese Rijsttafel consisting of nine meat, seafood and vegetable dishes served together with three different kinds of rice. A dinner for two will be about 200,000 to 250,000 Rupiah without drinks.

Other eating places, mostly popular with budget travelers, are WARUNG BATAVIA, Jalan Kerobokan, and WARUNG MURAH, Jalan Double Six near the beach which both offer great local food at rock-bottom prices. If you feel like having a delicious and spicy Soup Buntut (oxtail soup, the modern spelling) around midnight or later, there is no better place than WARUNG BAKU DAPA in the middle of Bali's most popular night clubs and next door to SANTA FE in Jalan Double Six.

The well-known air-conditioned sushi bar RYOSHI, Jalan Raya Seminyak 17 (with branches in Jalan Melasti in Kuta as well as in Sanur and Ubud) serves Sashimi, Sushi, Tempura, Miso soup and other Japanese dishes at reasonable prices. It's interior is simple but comfortable, and the restaurant is often crowded during meal times. After having moved to the premises next door, it features also some garden seating in front and an open-air area upstairs. TAKE, Jalan Patih Jelantik (the small road between Kuta and Jalan Imam Bonjol) with a second branch in Jalan Padma, offers a wider choice of well-prepared specialties from various areas of Japan. For good Sashimi or Teppanyaki, Shabu-Shabu and Sukiyaki prepared at your table visit either the KURUMAYA at the Bali Padma Hotel in Legian (Tuesday nights "All You Can Eat"), or the smaller but more elegant TEPPANYAKI restaurant at the Sofitel Hotel in Seminyak.

KUNI's Japanese restaurant is located at Jalan Laksmana No. 80. When you enter this modern open-air restaurant through the lounge you pass the bar and a small sushi counter. Dining tables are well-spaced with most of them on the open terrace and some tables in the narrow garden with Frangipani trees and Hibiscus. Choose from small but beautifully presented servings of Sashimi, delicious Spicy Tuna Rolls (a new experience even for Japanese), Beef Shabu Shabu Salad, Tempura, fried Kushiyaki skewers with chicken, chicken liver, sliced ox tongue etc, grilled sardines or swordfish, or Sukiyaki from Australian beef. There is also a choice of noodle and rice dishes including Unadon (with grilled eel). The set dinner for 120,000 Rupiah ++ per person (minimum three guests) with 10 courses is especially good value. All dishes are well-prepared and presented, and the service from the Japanese manager and the local staff is attentive, friendly and professional. Green tea, Japanese beer and sake are offered as expected, but there is also a small choice of wines from Australia and Chile. Monday closed.

The "new" (opened in 1996) MADE'S WARUNG in Basangkasa on the way to the Oberoi Hotel offers a wide choice of dishes (on the menu and on notes on the walls) from many parts of the world: local "Nasi Campur" (a mini rijsttafel) and Gado Gado, Japanese Sashimi, their own version of a Thai "Tom Yam" soup, good prawn and squid dishes, pasta, acceptable steaks, etc), plus a variety of cakes, delicious home-made coconut ice-cream, fresh fruit juices and good Capuchino (served either hot or iced). Try the "Arak Madu" or "Arak Lemon di Blender" (the local rice liquor with either just honey, or with honey and lemon, prepared in a blender). They offer also a choice of imported wines at reasonable prices. From morning to late night you'll see many regulars who've been coming to Bali since Peter (the Dutch owner) and his Balinese wife Made started their first "Warung" in the center of Kuta in the early 70's. Have a look at the various shops adjacent to the restaurant, too.

THE BALI RESTAURANT GUIDE TO THE BUKIT, NUSA DUA & TANJUNG BENOA

M Bali Tour - The "Bukit", the hill south of Jimbaran Bay, is becoming more popular every day. An increasing number of residential buildings take advantage of the spectacular views of Kuta, Sanur and the mountains from the slope facing north, and there are also quite a number projects being developed on the steep cliffs facing the South.

Located not far from the Uluwatu Temple, the modern di Mare at the KARMA KANDARA resort offers a spectacular view from the cliff over the blue sea, white surf breaks and the small beach below. The small menu offers a choice of Mediterranean seafood dishes including fresh oysters and prawns, local and imported fishes, Alascan scallops etc. as well as braised pork belly with lentils, Muscovy duck breast and high-grade Wagyu steaks. The "Cuisine in Miniatura" is a tasting menu consisting of 9 tapas-size delicacies! The wine list is extensive and well-chosen. An excellent meal for two should be about US$75 to US$120 ++ without drinks. You can reach the resort's private beach club below using a small cable car from the restaurant.

The restaurants of Bali's most luxurious resort, the ST. REGIS BALI RESORT opened in mid-September 2008 in Nusa Dua, offer top choices for demanding gourmets: the stylish KAYUPUTI is the resort's beachfront fine dining venue open for light lunches and elaborate dinners. Start your meal with freshly shucked oysters (Pacific rock oysters, Washington, New Zealand and Kumamoto oyster are available, either "Natural" or in various preparations e.g. wrapped in tuna with Wasabi mayonnaise) or enjoy some farmed caviar. Continue with a delicious home-smoked Tasmanian salmon or a variety of Sashimi, duck foie gras with white wine and tamarind jelly, frog legs tempura or a light lobster bisque with armagnac and red chilli sprinkled with lime dust. Main courses include a carefully prepared Lobster Thermidor (the best we had for ages!), Black Angus beef sirloin or venison loin with red chilli dust with truffled sweet pea sprouts, Wagyu beef tenderloin with a Nori seaweed potato cake and Wasabi meat reduction with sweet pickled raspberry or a Black Cod gratinated with foie gras sabayon and fried scampi tail with a curry lime emulsion. There is a good choice of cheeses and tempting desserts; if it's too difficult to make up your mind, just order the 6-course "Menu Degustation" for about US$110 per person which may include absolutely sensational dishes created by the resort's Executive Chef Oscar Perez and KAYUPUTI's Balinese Chef de Cuisine Agung such as a Lobster Consommé with Yabbie and Seaweed Tempura. An outstanding dinner for two will be between US$200 to US$400 plus drinks. (FYI, all prices at the ST. REGIS are "net" i.e. Bali's 21% tax & service charge are already included.)

The resort's BONEKA restaurant off the main lobby is famous for sensational breakfasts and Sunday Brunches (in addition to a great buffet with a good choice of fruits, cold cuts, smoked fish and delicious bakery items) you can order freshly prepared Eggs Benedict with salmon roe, fried eggs with seared foie gras, Serrano ham and asparagus, "Egg Nouvelle" filled with a delicious lobster ragout, river lobster with lobster bisque, fresh Sashimi, various oysters, a hot veal liver spread with sauted mushrooms, Wagyu beef tenderloin with fried eggs and ... and ... and ... The price for the breakfast is 420,000 Rupiah net including soft drinks, fruit juices, coffee and tea. From 11:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. on Sundays the same breakfast buffet and extras are completed with a number of other hot dishes and can be booked -- accompanied by life Jazz music and an initial signature Bloody Mary from the King Cole Bar across the lobby -- as Sunday Brunch for the same price. An additional 420,000 Rupiah net per person buys you the "Beverage Package" including free-flow of several wines and beer until 2:00 p.m. In the evening BONEKA serves a variety of Asian specialties. The best way to start a dinner is to have a delicious Bloody Mary or a "Bali Mary" (or two) in the resort's "King Cole Bar". Actually, the King Cole Room of the New York ST. REGIS HOTEL (opened in 1904) claims to be the birthplace of today's world-famous drink when Fernand Petiot (who worked around 1920 at HARRY'S BAR in Paris) added Tabasco, lemon and spices to the plain vodka & tomato juice drink in 1934. At that time, the ST. REGIS served already one hundred to hundred and fifty Bloody Marys every day!

In walking distance from the ST. REGIS just a few hundred meters to the South you find on Geger Beach the NUSA DUA BEACH GRILL, a simple open-air beachfront restaurant serving a range of well prepared seafood dishes, pasta, wood-fired pizzas and delicioous smoothies at very reasonable prices. Very popular with foreign residents many of which spend weekend afternoons with their families here.

The BUMBU BALI Restaurant (& Cooking School) in Tanjung Benoa adjacent to Nusa Dua, is operated by Heinz von Holzen, the author of the book "The Food of Bali" and former food guru of the Grand Hyatt and Ritz Carlton hotels in Bali. A visit here IS A MUST if you are interested in authentic local cuisine. In beautiful surroundings you can enjoy appetizers such as "Ayam Pelalah" (chicken with chillies and lime), beef, chicken and prawn Satay, or "Jokut Kakul", a tasty snail soup with lemon grass and black pepper. Main dishes include "Ayam Betutu" (roasted chicken in banana leaf), delicious "Siap Mapanggang" (ox tongue in sweet nutmeg sauce), "Satay Lilit" made from minced seafood, and "Ikan Pepes", and grilled fish in banana leaf. You can choose from a range of exotic desserts such as Black Rice Pudding, Coconut Pancakes, etc. Or indulge yourself by ordering the "Balinese Rijsttafel" which consists of 14 different dishes served together with white, yellow, and red rice (even a vegetarian version of this feast is available). You can end your meal with various gourmet coffee preparations or special flavoured Indonesian teas (apple, apricot, black currant, cinnamon, orange, peach, raspberry, strawberry, vanilla, etc). Service is very attentive, and prices (about US$20 to US$30 per person for a huge meal) are very reasonable for the unique experience. On Fridays there are Balinese dance performances from about 8 p.m. (If you book certain villas through Balivillas.com, you enjoy FREE participation in the popular Balinese cooking classes conducted by Heinz.)

The Beach House Restaurant (Canggu)

noreply@blogger.com (M BALI TOUR) — Fri, 8 Apr 2011 14:57:00 +0700

M Bali Tour - If you don't mind to go further out in the direction to Tanah Lot, THE BEACH HOUSE at Echo Beach about 30 minutes from Seminyak has become very popular. Set right on a well-known surfing beach near Canggu, this extremely informal venue ("No shoes, no shirt, no problem") is open from breakfast to dinner and you'll meet here on weekends many expats with their kids. There is a beachfront BBQ where you can choose from a variety of fresh fish (tuna, mahi-mahi, snapper, swordfish baramundi), clams, prawns, lobster, imported steaks, kebabs, ribs etc at very reasonable prices (25,000 to 80,000 Rupiah), accompanying salads, rice and bread are free.

A great location to watch Bali's sunsets, and there is life music on Saturday and Sunday evenings.

Restaurant in Ubud

noreply@blogger.com (M BALI TOUR) — Fri, 8 Apr 2011 14:50:00 +0700

M Bali Tour - The best restaurant in Ubud is BEBEK BENGIL / DIRTY DUCK RESTAURANT,For many years rather popular is DIRTY DUCK or BEBEK BENGIL in Padang Tegal about one kilometer south of Ubud's main street. Forget their special "Crispy Duck" which is very dry and sometimes rather tough. Their range of other Indonesian and Western dishes, however, is quite tasty, the garden setting very pleasant, and the live background music in the evenings creates a nearly magic atmosphere.

CAFE LOTUS has been an institution for many years. Located in the center of Ubud between the main street and a large, beautiful lotus pond in front of a temple (designed by the famous artist I Gusti Nyoman Lempad) this pleasant open-air restaurant serves a variety of Italian pasta dishes, some Asian and local specialties such as the Balinese duck 'Bebek Betutu', and a good choice of cakes and fruit juices. Although the prices here are quite steep for Ubud standards, CAFE LOTUS is busy the whole day.

Nearly across the road is CASA LUNA offering a number of Balinese and Mediterranean dishes which look very interesting on the menu but can be a bit disappointing, and a branch of the well-known RYOSHI serving good Sushi, Sashimi and Tempura until midnight at rather low prices.

MURNI'S WARUNG, located next to the Campuan bridge, is another of Ubud's institutions. Built on several levels between the road and the river, this is an excellent place to try the 'Bebek Betutu' (order one day in advance to be sure) and other local specialties. The more elegant BRIDGE CAFE cascades also down over several levels – right opposite on the other side of the river – and offers creative 'Pacific Rim' cuisine i.e. tasty culinary creations with influences from Thailand, India, China and Japan as well as local specialties, salads and vegetarian dishes. Try the Szechuan Pancakes filled with deep fried duck, the Thai Chicken Pizza, or the Chilly Prawns. Very pleasant atmosphere and good service.

Another of Ubud favorites is ARY'S WARUNG, a stylish side-walk bistro in the center of town with creative oriental/international cuisine and a choice of interesting vegetarian dishes. The Tasting Menu for lunch includes four dishes for 150,000 or 190,000 Rupiah with one glass of wine, the Dinner Tasting Menu six dishes for 240,000 or 280,000 Rupiah with two glasses of wine, always plus tax & service. Expect delicacies such as Lobster Wonton, Tuna Parfait with caviar and Wasabi cream, Seared Sea Scallops, Sauted Green Pepercorn Pate with green papaya salad, Carpaccio of Venison, Steamed Snapper with red chilli butter, Jumbo River Prawns sauted with chilli, garlic and ginger, deboned Roasted Quail, Rack of Lamb with chilli mint sauce, and Roasted Veal Cutlets with Wasabi butter. The desserts are equally creative; try the Durian Créme Brulleé! The wine list offers a good choice of Australian and French wines starting around 300,000 Rupiah, and the service is friendly AND professional.

On the way to Sayan between the Campuhan Hotel and the Pita Maha Resort is the INDUS Restaurant operated by the same owner as Casa Luna. Well-spaced tables on two levels offer a beautiful view over the Campuan river valley, the service is very friendly, and they serve a wide range of health food. You can choose Italian pizza, ravioli and fettucini, Middle Eastern Mezze, Chinese spring rolls, Thai Thom Kha Kai soup, and Indonesian Nasi Campur, Gado Gado, and even a Balinese "Smoked Duck Feast" for only 120,000 Rupiah for two. There are many seafood and vegetarian dishes, various interesting fresh fruit juices such as apple with mint juice or carrot, spinach, parsley & celery juice (to clean your blood and for detoxification), lassi, herbal teas and special coffees. If all this sounds too healthy, there are also delicious sweets, a (disappointingly) small selection of wines, but an acceptable choice of cocktails.

Evenings you used to meet many foreign residents in NAUGHTY NURI'S Warung on the same road to Sayan. Boston-born Brian, Nuri's husband, buys every Thursday fresh tuna in Benoa, and they serve on Thursday nights delicious tuna Sashimi, tuna steaks, and tuna satay. Daily fare includes various Indonesian dishes, steaks, lamb chops, and large slabs of ribs which are barbecued on a long charcoal grill in front of the place. But better go easy on their excellent Martinis – after a few of these you won't mind the price of 95,000 Rupiah per drink or the somewhat uncomfortable, often very smokey and extremely "local" surroundings, and the next day you might even not remember how you got home or where you've been the night before! However, recently they have started to accept reservations for busloads of Asian tourist, and many local expats are looking for other places to spend their time.

MOZAIC opened in 2001 on Jalan Raya Sanggingan, the road from Campuhan to Sayan, and is run by Franco-American Chef Chris Salans (ex Thomas Keller's French Laundry in Napa valley). It offers very pleasant out-door and in-door seating, excellent service and attractive presentation of Chris' creative cuisine. You can choose one of the set menus (Discovery Menu, Vegetarian Tasting Menu, Chef's Tasting Menu and Chef's Surprize Menu), starting from Rp.550.000++ to Rp.1.500.000++ per person per set menu. If you prefer to bring your own wine, they charge Rp.250.000++ corkage fee per bottle. On the well-chosen wine list you find many selection of open wines, and bottles start from around Rp.500.000++ per bottle. The restaurant is open 7 days a week, from Monday to Sunday, reservations are required. Please call 975-768.

For a total culinary indulgence together with your family and prepared by chef Chris Salans, a group of gourmets or special friends, book the Private Dinner Experience @ MOZAIC: Chris Salans prepares and serves a specially created Tasting Menu of his Signature Dishes in the privacy of "The Workshop", a separate venue at the back of the restaurant garden with an open state-of-the-art demo kitchen, a comfortable lounge and the elegant dining area accommodating up to 35 guests. Prices range from 1.000.000++ per person per set menu (depending on dishes selected and the accompanying wines) include selection of canapés. An individually created Special Chef's Table Tasting Menu prepared by Chris Salans, matching wines with each course and coffee or tea. The possiblility of direct interaction between Chef Salans and the guests during the meal as well as during the preparation of each course can make this not only an unforgettable experience but also a very personalized cooking class for some or all of the participants! Eight guests (or a minimum spending of Rp.15.000.000++) are required for the exclusive booking of "The Workshop". During the day there are also various recreational and professional cooking classes offered teaching traditional as well as modern cutting-edge technologies for individuals and groups. Call 975-768 for inquiries and bookings.

LAMAK Restaurant & Bar is another of Ubud's top eateries. It was opened in February 2002 and is located on Monkey Forest Road a bit South of the soccer field next to SAI SAI bar. The quite unique design is by Made Wijaya (Australian Michael White), and the restaurant is operated by the German Chef Roland Lickert. The tempting menus (different for lunch and dinner) include Asian, international and vegetarian dishes such as Seaweed Salad with Balinese Satay Lilit, various fried noodles with Spiced Szechuan Chicken, with Asian Greens and Glazed Tofu or with Black Bean Fish, Stir-fried Scallops on Green Tea Noodles and Bruschetta with Salmon Tartar. There is an great Shitake Mushroom Cappuccino soup and a unique Balinese Bouillabaisse, Escargots with delicious Cafe de Paris Butter or seared Foie Gras, and for your main course you can choose Crispy Salmon, Balsamic Glazed Beef Steak, Quail Saltimbocca, Pancetta-wrapped Pork Fillet, Lamb Cutlets, Duck Breast with Red Pepper Pesto and Seafood Pasta. Delicious sweets include Orange & Ginger Créme Bruleé, Fried Forest Berry Ice Cream on Baileys Cream and a Chilled Pina Colada Soufflé. Too difficult to decide what to chose from their Asian Fusion cuisine? Just order the 5-course Tasting Menu for only US$35++! Gourmets may be impressed, wine lovers will certainly be delighted: you can choose from 8 wines by the glass from US$6 to US$10 and from nearly 50 bottled wines from France, Italy, Australia and California starting at US$45. There is also a choice of Cuban cigars. The reasonable prices for food and wine help to relax in the open-air lounge and cocktail bar downstairs, in the upstairs dining area or in the air-conditioned section on the upper floor. LAMAK is open every day from 11:00 in the morning to 11:00 p.m. Roland runs also WARUNG ENAK in Pengosekan (south of Ubud) where he serves tasty specialties from Sumatra, Java, Sulawesi, Kalimantan, Lombok, Bali and other islands of Indonesia in pleasant surroundings and at reasonable prices.

TROPICAL BALI, Jalan Raya Sanggingan not far from MOZAIC, is an open-air restaurant offering nice rice field views and friendly service. The owner from Timor operates also a similar restaurant in Dili, East Timor. Although the surroundings don't meet the claim of "Fine Dining", he offers creative French-Asian fusion cuisine at low prices. You can choose from various combinations of scallops, prawns, quail, lamb, duck and beef tenderloin such as Miso Quail Confit with Pan-seared Scallops and Prawn on Curry Sauce, Fresh Seafood with Udon on Laksa Sauce with Crispy Seared Duck Breast or Prawn Gyoza with Prawn Ricepaper Roll and Cherry Tomato Mozarella Salad as appetizer, continue with Confit Quail with Grilled Beef Tenderloin, Deep Fried Duck Breast with Wild Berry Sauce and Seared Snapper or Beef Medaillion with Steamed Sea Bass. For dessert there are Chocolate Tart with Mango Ice Cream, Orange Parfait with Caramelized Mango with Jackfruit Compote and Mint Syrup or a Hot Cointreau Chocolate Pudding with Coconut Sauce and White Wine Sabayon. There is a huge choice of traditional and more exotic cocktails but a limited choice of wines. An interesting dinner for two should be around 450,000 Rupiah plus drinks.

Other restaurants recommended by foreign residents and recent visitors are IBU OKA for the delicious Babi Guling (suckling pig), PESTO CAFE, Jalan Raya Campuhan, for tasty Indonesian dishes and international snacks at low prices, TERAZO, Jalan Suweta just North of the Royal Palace, and the CINTA GRILL on Monkey Forest Road for trendy fusion cuisine, BATAN WARU (Western and Indonesian Brasserie type food), CAFE DES ARTISTES, Jalan Bisma 9X, for Belgium cuisine and some Indonesian and Thai dishes at low prices, GAJAH BIRU for authentic Indian cuisine, GAYA for simple Italian dishes, located above the gallery with the same name in Sayan, the KOKOKAN CLUB in Pengosekan for tasty Thai dishes, COFFEE & SILVER on Jalan Monkeu Forest for breakfast, brunch and all-day dining with tasty snacks, tapas and international mains and an interesting children's menu, INDIAN DELITES, THREE MONKEYS, KAMPUNG KAFE, and TEPI SAWAH.

Restaurant at Kuta

THE BALI RESTAURANT GUIDE TO LEGIAN and KUTA

(incl. Tuban, Legian, Seminyak, Kerobokan, etc)

M Bali Tour - Let's start with Balinese and Indonesian food:

Both KETUPAT restaurants, Jalan Legian Raya 109 (hidden behind Jonathan Gallery) and Jalan Dewi Sri in Kuta, serve a large variety of Indonesian specialties in pleasant surroundings. You can sit either in the open-air restaurants or in several cozy alcoves scattered around the swimming pools. The menu includes some traditional Balinese food and many dishes from all parts of the archipelago. In addition to the usual pork, beef, and chicken 'Sate' you find here barbecued skewers with goat meat, prawns, tuna, squid, and even 'Sate Lilit' with minced mutton, crab or duck meat. Seafood lovers can choose from different preparations of lobster, crabs, prawns, calamari and all kinds of fresh fish. Vegetarians will enjoy salads and main courses with beans, potatoes, spinach, bean sprouts, young fern leaves, etc. The menu features photographs and explanations of each dish. Expect to pay about 60,000 to 250,000 Rupiah per person which is not cheap for Bali. But don't forget, this is Indonesian 'haute cuisine' (although here rather boring as spiced for tourists), quite well presented and served in surroundings which will please most visitors.

MADE'S WARUNG on Jalan Pantai in central Kuta near the Bemo Corner has been an institution in Kuta since the early 70's. This has been THE place to see and be seen for nearly 30 years. In the early days, MADE'S was the only 'after-hours' place in Kuta: they kept selling toilet paper, mosquito curls, snack food and drinks until 8:00 p.m. when everybody else closed around 7:00 p.m. Today you con choose from many local dishes including Sate and Nasi Campur as well as many international specialties such as Sashimi, steaks, noodle dishes etc. The owners Peter and Made opened in August 1996 a new, quite similar but larger and more comfortable MADE'S WARUNG in Seminyak/Basangkasa on the way to the Oberoi Hotel on Seminyak.

POPPIES restaurant on Poppies Line 1, nearby has also been well-established for over 25 years. In a beautiful garden setting you can choose from a number of Asian and Western dishes including, soups, curries, lobster and steaks. It's very pleasant for a leisurely lunch in the shade of large trees, but in the evenings the place tends to become crowded with tourist groups. The food was never outstanding, and recently the prices have been increased considerably.

TJ'S Mexican Restaurant, also on Poppies Line 1, has become an institution over the years and is well-known for tasty Mexican food, good music, excellent margaritas and strawberry daiquiris, and to meet regulars around the far corner of the long bar. Pleasant garden setting, good service, great salads and affordable prices.

KORI Restaurant, hidden away in nearby Poppies II Lane, offers comfortable open-air seating in pleasant surroundings. Service is attentive and the menu lists specialties from many countries such as Indonesian Satays, Thai beef salad, Thom Yam, and Green Chicken Curry, Singapore Chilli Crab, Australian beef steaks, tuna steaks, beef burgers, pork chops, Caesar salad, and Italian pasta. Good food, nice presentation, large portions and a good, reasonably priced wine list.

SUSHI TEI - Only opened in late 2007 is the modern, fully air-conditioned SUSHI TEI located at Sunset Road No. 99 in Kuta. When you sit at the bar you can watch the skills of the chefs in the open kitchen and help yourself to creative Japanese delicacies from the conveyor belt in front of you. This is Bali's first and currently only "Sushi Train". There are many different Sushi Rolls filled with combinations of eel, crab meat, tuna, salmon, prawns, mango etc., various kinds of Sashimi and Sushi including sword fish, scallops, smoked bonito, octopus, life lobster and sea urchin. The beautifully designed menu shows photographs of many specialties including grilled meats, various Tempura preparations, Japanese soups, noodles and rice dishes, many salads and a choice of desserts such as Green Tea ice cream, Black Sesame ice cream, peach sherbet, chocolate wafers, etc. The photographs are very tempting, the actual dishes, however, are often rather disappointing and not as fresh as expected. A meal for two should be between 400,000 and 650,000 Rupiah.

The Japanese BLUEFIN restaurant in Jalan Kartika Plaza opposite the KUTA PARADISO hotel serves excellent fusion cuisine in modern surroundings. The large menu lists many creative and delicious sushi rolls, foie gras and all traditional Japanese dishes. Specialties include Chilli Ayo, a combination of baked scallops, shrimps and squid topped with a chilli mayonaise and fish roe, Dobin Mushi, a clear mushroom-seafood soup, and there are Sushi Rolls filled with crab salad, eel, shrimps, squid, salmon, tuna, lobster, avocado, cucumber and even liver pate and cream cheese! Main courses include steak, seafood combination plates, lobster etc. In addition to Western deserts there are Red Bean and Green Tea Ice Creams. BLUEFIN has immediately become one of our regular places.

Another excellent new restaurant in this Tuban-part of Kuta is QUEEN'S of INDIA in Jalan Kartika Plaza next to the entrance of the BALI DYNASTY hotel. This eatery belongs to the QUEEN's Group of Indian restaurants and offers very pleasant surroundings in a modern 2-storey building. The menu features all the favorites which made the QUEEN's TANDOOR in Seminyak so popular such as delicacies from the Tandoor oven, chicken, lamb, seafod and vegetable curries, masallas, pasandas and kormas plus a number of quite unique specialties such as the chicken, mutton, prawn or fish "sizzlers": after being marinated in yoghurt and fresh spices the meat is partly cooked in the Indian Tandoor oven before being finished together with vegetables in a Chinese Wok and served on a sizzling platter. Creative Indian-Chinese fusion cuisine, but these delicacies are both HOT and SPICY; tell the waiter if you don't like spicy food or, even better, don't order a Sizzler! Vegetarians will enjoy the wonderful sauces with a wide range of veggies and the tasty black or yellow Dhal (lentils) cooked in spices, cream and butter and the famous Indian breads; we love the papadums and the Kashmiri Nan. A very enjoyable meal for two is around 250,000 Rupiah++ without drinks. Right now the QUEEN'S of INDIA offers the most pleasant surroundings and most delicious and creative food from the sub-continent in Bali. Enjoy, but bring your own wine.

Bali's best Chinese restaurant is nowadays without doubt FEYLOON, opened in early 2009 at Jalan Raya Kuta opposite the Gelael Supermarket in Kuta. It offers excellent Cantonese cuisine and lots of fresh seafood. The daily 'Dim Sum' (also called 'Yum Cha') at lunch time consists of a variety of small dumplings, steamed buns and other mini delights served in rattan baskets. You will enjoy the steamed dumplings filled with prawns, pork ('Siu Mai' and 'Har Gau') or shark fin ('Yu Chi Gau'), crisp-fried rolls with prawns, and 'Char Siu Bau', rather filling barbecued pork buns. The regular menu includes BBQ pork, many duck preparations and an excellent Szechuan Hot & Sour soup. The large modern dining room is often busy during meal times although the service staff still needs more training, and we find the live music in the evenings kind of disturbing.

The GOLDEN LOTUS inside the Bali Dynasty Resort in Tuban is well-known for a wide range of Chinese dishes and 'Dim Sum' (during lunch on Sundays) which are served in comfortable hotel surroundings. Other recommended Chinese restaurants in the Kuta/Tuban area are FURAMA, Jalan Raya Tuban 52B, PLAZA BALI located between the By-Pass and Jalan Raya Kuta and EMA Restaurant, upper floor at the DFS (Duty Free Shoppers) complex at the circle on Jalan By-Pass. Both serve tasty food including 'Dim Sum' — EMA used to be a favourite of many expat residents and hotel people for Sunday brunch but many of these have discovered and are moving to FEYLOON now.

For German specialties and sausages you can try the open-air MAMA'S restaurant in Kuta which is open around the clock and serves substantial German homecooking at low prices. The wide choice includes hot dogs and many other sausages, Frikadellen (German meat balls) and burgers, spit-roasted chicken, pork roast, Rouladen (German beef rolls), and huge pork knuckles. In addition to local draft beer, imported beers and German schnaps there is also a limited but well-priced wine list. There are tables and a bar downstairs as well as on the upper floor where you also find a large billiards table and life music in the evening. Owner is the German Honorary Consul Reinhold Jantzen. (You like dining with Consuls? Then you should also visit the Swiss Consular Representative Jon Zurcher who entertains guests in his SWISS RESTAURANT at the new Istana Galleria in Kuta.)

Quite good Swiss-German meals at low prices are also served in plain surroundings in the PEPITO KAFE, Jalan Kediri 36A, next to the Pepito Supermarket in Tuban. Roger Jahn, a retired Swiss Guard of the Pope, offers a "Bavarian Breakfast" with Weisswurst, Brezn and a beer at any time of the day for 42,500 Rupiah, a choice of smoked and dried hams with melon, asparagus and toast (38,000 Rupiah), sliced pork leg "Castellan Style" (52,000 Rupiah), various steaks (49,000 to 84,000 Rupiah), and a number of Swiss and German sausages with onion sauce or gravy, French fries and salad for about 42,000 to 48,000 Rupiah. His nice Vol-au-vent (which he calls "Bouchees Royale"), two pastry shells filled with tender beef cubes in a creamy white sauce, is just 44,500 Rupiah. There is only a limited selection of incredibly low priced wines; just give it a try — you might become a regular!

8 Lessons from the Public Transport in Indonesia (Village)

noreply@blogger.com (M BALI TOUR) — Thu, 17 Mar 2011 20:08:00 +0700

M Bali Tour - If you want to travel by bus in Indonesia, you should learn to avoid the branches of trees and lull goat.

Stepping up the various modes of transportation is the best way to recognize a place, perhaps even more intimate than you want.

From the damaged vehicle until stared, cramped seating, the strange smells of spin, to livestock, public transport in Indonesia provides its own lessons.

1. There are no seat reservations

Outside major cities, the concept of seat reservation is meaningless. You indeed can be guaranteed a seat, but the tickets you do not specify in which part you would sit. You can be wedged between the boxes and sacks of rice and other farm animals.

Kernet buses will still be climbing onto the roof to request your ticket even if you have to hold on when the bus began to climb the road up the mountain.

2. Learn to stoop

The trunk will be very very painful when on your head speed of 60 kilometers per hour. Especially if there are seven people who sit on the roof and trunk successive hits you like a comedy slapstik.

3. Lull goat

Second time someone left the goat in my lap when I sat on the roof, I tried to get acquainted with him. But the owner of the goat actually fell asleep.

I then learned something new: stroking the goat's head while singing a French song will help the goat to stay calm.
4. Nudge is the best weapon

The best way to make strangers who sit next to you to stop stroking your thigh in the middle of the night is by nudging his ribs. Do it hard.

5. Double standard of cleanliness

As a tourist, you are not allowed to use the toilet on the bus tonight, if only to urinate. Even the kernet would be very surprised, as if not believing, that you dare to ask.

However, the same kernet would not protest if the local residents to clean his nose on the curtains bus.

6. Cooler air means ready frozen

The cold blast of air from the AC will make you shiver. If you boarded the bus cooled, then you seemed to be in the refrigerator.

The driver or kernet do not care if you and many other passengers until almost frozen. They will only laugh, as if to say, "Hey, you're already paying dearly for the cold bus, yes this is it expensive buses are cool."

7. Ready shame karaoke session

If you sing the song Total Eclipse of the Heart, Do not Stop Believin 'or Sweet Child o' Mine in the Philippines, his remarks will be very good. But not so in Indonesia.

Get ready to be kicked out of bed when you sing, and other passengers stared.

In the end, you will be 'directed' to the deck outside, where you can sing as much.

8. Boat driver who fell a sleep

It turned out that the boat driver can sleep peacefully at night.

Despite so, the boat that we were riding caught in fishing nets belonging to a small village. Wake up at 5 am because of quarrels between your boat driver and all the villagers can make you feel unsure of the rest of the trip.

The beauty of Komodo Island (New 7 Wonder)

noreply@blogger.com (M BALI TOUR) — Thu, 17 Mar 2011 19:54:00 +0700

M Bali Tour - The presence of the Komodo National Park which is one of the popular vote competition nominator "New 7 Wonder" is quite inviting charm. The controversy that accompanied the event certainly had no effect on the intensive efforts to continue to preserve the park established in 1986 by UNESCO as world heritage site.

Komodo National Park is located between the Province of West Nusa Tenggara and East Nusa Tenggara It includes three large islands of Komodo, Rinca, and Padar, and several small islands with a land area covering 603 km ² and the total area is 1817 km ². Administratively, this region lies in the subdistrict of Komodo, West Manggarai regency, East Nusa Tenggara Province. National Parks are designated as forest conservation area by the Minister of Forestry with 132 572 ha area was originally established with the aim of conserving species of giant lizard dragons or a unique and rare.

Komodo dragons are known by the scientific name Varanus komodoensis is the world's largest lizard species that live on the island of Komodo, Rinca, Flores, Gili Motang, and Gili Dasami in Nusa Tenggara. By local people, dragons are often called Ora.

Including family members Varanidae monitor lizards, and Toxicofera klad, dragons are the largest lizards in the world, with an average length of 2-3 m. Large size is associated with symptoms of island gigantism, the tendency for body meraksasanya certain animals that live in small island linked to the absence of mammalian carnivores on the island where dragons live, and the rate of metabolism of small dragons. Because of his body, these lizards occupy the position of a top predator that dominates its place of living ecosystems.

Komodo dragons are found in 1910. Her body is great and terrible reputation makes them popular in zoos. Dragons in the wild habitat has shrunk and therefore IUCN include dragons as a species vulnerable to extinction. These large lizards are protected under Indonesian law and a national park was established to protect them.

Actually the Park attraction not solely by the mere presence of dragons. As I quoted from the official website of the Ministry of Forestry who manages this site Komodo National Park, panoramic underwater views of savanna and attract potential supporters. Eg marine tourism, fishing, snorkeling, diving, canoeing, boating. While on land, natural tourism potential that can be done is to observe wildlife, hiking, and camping. Visiting the Park and enjoy the natural scenery is very charming an experience that will never be forgotten.

Some interesting sites to visit include:

1. Loh Liang: a tourism concession area managed by PT. Putri Naga Komodo (PNK PT.). Activities that can be done among other observations the Komodo dragon, deer, wild boar, bird watching, canoeing, etc..

2. Red Beach: a beautiful beach with shallow coral reefs charming. Activities usually carried out by tourists who visit are snorkelling or sunbathing.

3. Loh Sebita: Loh Sebita a mangrove area and the activity is quite interesting to do is bird watching and trekking.

4. Loh Buaya: a tourism concession areas dielola by PT. Putri Naga Komodo (PNK PT.). Activities that can be done among other observations the Komodo dragon, deer, buffalo, birds, long-tailed monkey, wild horses, birdwatching, canoeing, etc..

5. Bat Island: Activities that can be visited include the observation colony of bats in large numbers. The most interesting observation made during the afternoon where the bats started to come out to look for food.

6. Golo Code: From the top of the hill, known as Code Golo, visitors can see a panorama and a landscape that is fantastic because the representation of various types of ecosystems can be seen from this place.

7. Molo Strait: Strait which has a heavy flow like river water flowing at high tide.

There are 36 dive sites in the area of TN. Komodo. Frequented by foreign tourists for diving and snorkeling are: Tatawa Island, Red Beach, Gililawa Sea, Loh Dasami, Pillar Steen, Batu Bolong and Taka Napier.

To reach this place can be done via the road through land through Bali - Mataram (Lombok Island) - Bima - Sape (Sumbawa P.), followed by a trip using the ferry every day to Labuan Bajo. From Labuan Bajo visitors can visit the Komodo National Park aboard the boat or speedboat. Another alternative is by air, visitors can use air transportation from Bali (Denpasar) to Labuan Bajo every day with the existing penerpangan airlines including; Indonesian Air Transport (IAT), Pigeon, and Trigana Air.
