FINALLY PROPER HONEYMOON!
So we just went back from BALI it's been a while for us ( maybe around 2 years ago?) Thanks to early feasting period, i could take my long annual leave and we had amazing 4d3n fatty trip hahaha actually at first we were quite confused aboit which corona test should we took before the flight but actually it wasn't that complicated. So you can choose one . .
PCR ( valid 2x24hours before the flight)
SWAB ANTIGEN ( valid 2x24hours before the flight)
GENOSE ( valid 1x24hours before the flight)
We used Swab antigen because it wasn't that expensive and not that rush because if you want to use genose at the airport you need 4 hours before flight and too crowded for me.
And what's really suprising, AIRPORT WAS PACKED BY PEOPLE haha and so do the flight. Well i though people just too boring and we kinda get used to with corona so whateverš¤£
ACCOMODATION
RENAISSANCE ULUWATU
Well well we stayed here for 3d2n which really ah-ma-zing. The view and no crowd at all. The sunset from the pool,cold beer and crispy calamariš and especially during corona season, they serve ur breakfast by order which CRAZILY DELICIOUS and every meal looked appetiting you should tried their uluwatu benedict & salted egg chicken rice damn! Miss it already!!!
RIMBUN AT CANGGU
And for last night we wanted to change area and we found this beautifully green hotel around canggu area well it was pretty, great location, and cheap so yeah just okay thoš
WE VISITED
Green bowl beach
It was beautiful indeed BUT unfortunately so many trash around the cave and some annoying old ladies that pushed you to buy stuffs. I planned to chill enjoy the view and read my recent book but yeah just in my imagination.
( oh ya visit it around noon 1pm-3pm better, because in the morning the wave is high so you can't enjoy sit around)
BREAKFAST OPTION
MONSIEUR SPOON @ CANGGU
Well it like every where, canggu, seminyak, ubud. Worth every bite! Price wise quite at cheap side for pastry but for breakfast okay. I ordered Egg&Bacon on Toast (65k) they serve it with sour dough which my favorite it super soft and that stingy sour ♡ super love one big bite with their candy onion, flamming hot omelet and crunchy bacon super yum! Recommended for non-breakfast-hotel like me on last day.

Randomly found this from IG nasi special (75k) well it expensive for a plate of bigul actually but they serve their main pork like porcetta super big thick slices of pork, lots of herbs on lean pork, and homemade pork floss, i will think twice to rebuy it but it worth a try.
(+point their homemade floss is mindblowingly good!)
NASI BABI KARYA REBO @ ULUWATU
Latest hype bigul around tourist especially surabayan i think because it was packed all by surabayan HAHA first 1time we came we scared because too many people so we decided to take away and it just okay for nasi campur (50k) but then otw back to airport on our last day we came again and we were suprised by HOW GOOD THEIR SOUP IS OMG and unlimited chili on table for dine in now i know why it hyped.

OUR RANDOM SUPPER
SATE BABI DEUS @CANGGU
On our last night in bali we walked around canggu that closed very soon now just around 8 pm mostly all shops already close and my sister suggested this pork satay that open only at night near monsieur spoon & secret gelato. 10 satays (20k) you can add ketupat (rice cake) or pork crackers for only 5000 gils ♡
COFFEE DOSE
STARBUCKS DEWATA
#proudtobepartner #hanasbucks finally visited the biggest store in asia pacific. It huge it pretty and finally i met my long gone love dewatalatte. You have to order this! Starbucks brown sugar latte always better than others :p
SENIMAN COFFEE @ UBUD
Homey coffeeshop in ubud, friendly barista, and you can bring their specialty beans as souvernirs. I tried their coldwhite (30k) one of my fav one with thicc ligering coffee taste & super creamy at the same time. Well they claimed that their cold brew as the most recommended menu and i believe it!
BLACK LIST COFFEE @CANGGU
One of my husbie best found coffeeshop i thought. We googled and found this place that suprisingly ausssie based coffeeshop ( that we thought was local) and my husband ordered their special ethiopia drip coffee (75k) and me just ice latte with home made cashew nut milk (60k). Japanese drip was amazing super aromatic, winey and sweet after taste and for their latte OMG their homemade cashewnut milk the best! The body is the thickest vegan milk ive ever tasted!! Super yum and i chose Canggu blend ( so they have 2 pinch blend & canggu blend, pinch is more acidic and canggu more chocolaty that match better with milk bev) wish i can go back here soon!!
Overall, it the best trip i've ever done with my husband. Great food great vibes, even just 4 days it felt so long ane enjoyable. Hope we can have this kinda trip soon!
