REAL HONEYMOON

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 whatever🤣

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 calamari👌 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 tho😝

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.

BALINESE PRIDE

My all time fav balinese food that i couldnt find anywhere else pa lagi di bekasi ya kota iksan here's some my food that we've eaten during the trip and if you read my previous blog post about bali and you see some list again here so those were my forever fav soulfood.

NASI AYAM IBU OKI @ UDAYANA

Those spiciness that i couldn't forget nyammm crispy chicken and plecing on the side ♡ super love Nasi ayam campur (30k)

(+point it is halal)

IBAB BALI @ DEWI SRI

(-point their babi goreng susah dikunyah but it seasoned great)

SOUPHORIA @ CANGGU

famous with their crispy pork but named SOUPhoria that's why dont skip order their pork bone soup (55k) here taste like ur homey mama's soup with pineapple in it lovely and ofcourse their fried pork belly (50k) 

(-point taste like jakarta pork belly ricebowl)

BIGUL TIME YESSSS BITJ!

NASI BABI GENYOL ARYANADI @CANGGU

Special nasi campur (20k) my cheap happiness. Hik genyol means like fat so here what different with other bigul rice, they use crispy pork belly in it. SO CHEAP i was so mad :""" why i just discover this on my last day :" must try!

(+point just perfect and add 20k more for a portion of extra pork) 

BABI BAGUS @CANGGU

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.

(+point buy extra satay! Their pork satay super smokey yum!)

NASI BABI GUNG CUNG @ UBUD

Bigger rating than bu oka? Hm so we gave a try and it was good! Their pork skin slice wasnt that crispy but they give us krupuk kulit babi too replace it i think, nasi campur biasa (50k)

(+point their lean pork bumbu super generous and yummy!)

NASI BABI IBU OKA 3 @ UBUD

tourist must eat for years in ubud, my childhood fav that now became super sepi but still pne pf my favorite consistant taste of babi guling, nasi campur (50k)

BO&BUN @ SEMINYAK

No more babi guling HAHA when you get sick with too much balinese bumbu, i found this randomly on zomato high rating and great reviews, and we love vietnamese food. We ordered beef pho (100k) &  mini sides combo (145k) and luckily they had 50% promotion which super great deals for us HAHA beef pho legit! And their minis, vietnamese roll super yummy peanuty dipping, fried roll also and pandan chicken i love everythinggggggg 

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!

BALI FOODVENTURE, HYPE=WORTHIT?

BALI

it's been ZUPER long time ( around 7-8years) since the last time i went there. I am not a budget traveller this time because i went together with my parents HAHA sponsored. BUT actually i am pretty sick of "instaworthy" "instaspot" boring places that will waste your money for nothing excepts some likes on ig. 

SOO in this post, no me #ootd or #dailylook tags just me and some bali local comfort foods WITH lil bit "hype" places that i was very very curious about but is it really worth it?

LETS CHECK IT OUT!

#1

BABI GULING SINGARAJA BERAS MERAH "RENDI"

Jl. Tukad Pakerisan 122, panjer, denpasar

Open hour 7am-10pm

What i ordered: Nasi campur bali IDR 17000, Siobak IDR 20000

I got this recommendation from my sis ucup bin ajaib. Totally local no tourist no overprice pork rice. C'mon seventeen thousand for a full plate of pork godness? It's good but lil bit too dry for me. And siobak, bali style hmm not my type fried samchan with thick brown sauce but maybe you should try.

TASTE 7/10

HYPE: NO

WORTH IT: YES

P.s i tried one no-name random nasi babi guling in Jl. Sutomo, denpasar right across a pura, you should check this out!! I didnt even take photo of it because i didnt expect to be that great!

#2

WARUNG WAHAHA

Jl. Sunset road no 1689, seminyak, kuta

Open hour 11am-10pm

What i ordered: Half pork ribs IDR 98000, Pork knuckle IDR 188000

Naughty nuri's and wahaha are 2 biggest competitor that i know in selling pork ribs. But i can't compared each other since i never try nuri's. And it also my first time tried wahaha & this time recommendation from my mom maminen that've came before with her friends. Personally, i loveddddd their pork ribs, the meat is not so tender but they grilled it lil bit to burned side so i ate some crispy charside and it tasted more into savoury than sweet side. And for pork knucle, it super deadly crispy yet super tender in the outside. All my fam members said it tasted better than paulaner's but it lil bit tasteless for me. I love my meat lil bit salty.

TASTE 8/10

HYPE: YES 

WORTH IT: YES

#3

WARUNG NASI AYAM BU OKI

Jl. Celangi basur no.3Y, Jimbaran, kuta selatan

Open hour 7am- 6pm

What i ordered: Nasi campur ayam pedas IDR 25000

Again my mother recommendation. ZUPERLAFFF With it!! But we had it as our breakfast and it just too spicy for early morning HAHA  but its okey!! Super flavourful especially their chicken skewer sate ayaam emejing! no words HAHA

TASTE 10/10

HYPE: QUITE

WORTH IT: SUPER YESSS MUST TRY!

#4

AYAM BETUTU KHAS GILIMANUK

Jl. Raya kuta central parkir, kuta

Open Hour 8am-10pm

What i ordered: Half size ayam betutu rice set IDR50000+

I put + on the price because i didnt really remember the exact price. It might be looked unappetite and light yellow tasteless chicken BUT it will kick you with the spice at the first bite. And the chicken is super tender. But this type of opor kinda chicken always not include of my fav list so yeah no comment.

Taste 7/10

HYPE: EVEN JAKARTA HAVE BRANCH

WORTH IT: TRY LAH 

#5

PULINA 

Sebatu, tegallalang, gianyar, Bali 80561

Open hour 8am-7pm

Entrance fee: IDR 100000/Person

At first, i shocked like wtf 100k for this coffee plantation entrance :/ and okey. Firstly, emba guide told and showed us how coffee made, from luwak shitting, roasting process, arabica and robusta tree differences, try eating raw cocoa ( it tasted like soursop) and finally the guide lead us to the end where they served us 8 kinds of coffee and tea testers, and after you try it, you can ask 1 more free bigger size of what drink that you like the most. They also served compliment traditional snacks as sidedish. Honestly, i am not a big fan of black coffee especially indonesian coffee because for me it just too earthy and acidy. Iknow i am not a coffee expert no offense HAHA but overall the view and testing is great new experience.

TASTE 8/10

HYPE: NOT REALLY 

WORTH IT: YAP FOR ONCE

#6

BEBEK TEPI SAWAH VILLA

Jalan Raya Goa Gajah, Br. Teges Peliatan, Ubud, Peliatan, Ubud, Kabupaten Gianyar, Bali 80571

Open Hour 10am-10pm

What i ordered: Bebek panggang halfset IDR 130000, Bebek bamboo IDR 150000

LEGIT. One word that describe all my dining experience here. Beautiful rice field view, pendopo seats, and SUPER TASTY GRILLED DUCKKKK ( fried duck bye grilles duck is on other leveeeel) and also steam spicee duck in bamboo that i forget what the name is just too perffff ♡

TASTE 10000/10

HYPE: ITS BEEN SINCE LONGGG TIME

WORTH IT: 1.5 HOUR DRIVE FROM KUTA MEANS NOTHING ♡

#7

NASI BALI MADE WETI

Yang Batu Kauh, Jl. Letda Reta No.52, Dangin Puri Klod, Denpasar Tim., Kota Denpasar, Bali 80233

Open Hour 9.30am-5pm

What i ordered : nasi ayam mix IDR 25000

i expected ALOT but hem. I cant compared it with ibu oki even it "chicken rice" but the spice is different. Ibu oki uses lots of spice and made weti is milder and quite refreshing with that cucumber slices. 

TASTE 7.8/10

HYPE: SUPER

WORTH IT: JUST OKEY 먹는만큼만

#8

Open Hour 7am-11pm

What i ordered: Double patty burger IDR 110000, Ice latte IDR 35000

Ok i cant be said, misprespection for this place. I was hoping "coffeeshop" my mistake HAHA ending it felt more to eatery bar. Not bad but i dont know i just feel not my type of coffee but it is a great place for chill.

TASTE 7/10

HYPE: SUPERB

WORTH IT: YES ONCE 

#9

TITIK TEMU

Jl. Kayu Cendana No.1, Seminyak, Kuta, Kabupaten Badung, Bali 80361

Open Hour 8am-8pm

What i ordered: Ice latte IDR 33000, grilled cheese IDR 40000

raisa's coffeeshop is super pretty indeed. Hands down for design. But too much people taking pic at their entrance so too mainstream spot ugh. Their coffee just okey and their "roti bakar keju" with pesto is quite delish. Good place to ngadem from the heat.

TASTE 7/10

HYPE: YEAH!

WORTH IT: SO-SO nothing special

#10

GUSTO

Jl. Mertanadi No.46B, Kerobokan Kelod, Kuta Utara, Kabupaten Badung, Bali 80361

Open Hour 10am-10pm

What i ordered: Medium IDR 48000

( S IDR 25k/2flvs, M IDR48K/3flvs, L IDR75k/4flvs, XL IDR 240K/5Flvr, Cone IDR28k/2flvs)

AND FOR LAST BUT NOT LEAST hippest gelato in bali, yessss finally anak kampung bekasi akhirnya coba bijinian guys. You choose the size and pay first and then you can try it first before you decide. Because we were sharing, we bought 2 mediums, one is creamy cup, dark choco,mascapone, and coffee, and on the other one was sorbet cup, contains strawberry, lemon, and mango. To be honest, short, simple and fast, i dont like their sorbet so-so and too sweet and for cream one, chocolate is the only flavour that i love because others just too sweet. Is it right or just me? I know indonesian sugar level is above normal

TASTE 9 for choco 1 for othertastes/10

HYPE: CANT BE HANDLE

WORTH IT: Hm 6 of 10?

CONCLUSION:

DONT BELIEVE IN INSTAGRAM, BLOGGER OR EVERYONE INCLUDING ME AND MY BLOG HAAHAHAHAHAHA

Dont waste your money and time just for "instapic" live your own life. Just be you! It's okey to try some of hype places but don't into it too much. Try it yourself and believe in your tastebud. Because maybe it less than 40% that really worth to try :) and remember holiday is when you can enjoy your day without any stress and pressure, so dont let SNS do it to you ♡

BTW now i am still getting sick of nasi babi guling, i ate it too much

SEE YOU ON NEXTTTT POST
