WORLD OF NADA

Too late for breakfast, too early for lunch. That is what's called a brunch. Bali's nightlife makes people tend to get up late, skip breakfast, and look for a pleasant brunch. I only stayed up late once though while in here. It is just me who usually wake up late during holidays, oops.. So here I give you some nice brunch spots to try.

1. Watercress

Yes, I heard about this restaurant a lot but my mom is the one who insisted going here. Standing in a small neighbourhood with green surroundings and rustic design make this place very comfortable. It is packed with families and group of friends when I came.

I had to wait so long for one of the menu I ordered. The waiter noticed she forgot to take the order. Despite the inconvenience, I really enjoyed my brunch. Watercress provides typical Western menu and healthy juices which I love.

Watercress Eggs Benedict (Rp80.000)


Watercress Eggs Florentine (Rp70.000)




House Juice Blends
Enriching - mango, strawberry, orange and Cleansing - apple, carrot, ginger, lime (both Rp40.000)

2. The Junction

When I saw this restaurant for the first time two years ago, the interesting interior caught my eyes. The reason I came back is because I miss its Ocean Salad and Gnocchi. The salad has this nice sour taste and the seafood taste so fresh. How about the gnocchi? As I remember, this potato and pesto gnocchi with blue cheese sauce is supposed to be oh-so-good, but when I had it that day it was too salty.

3. Sea Circus

Another place that made me curious after I saw it on my timeline. This colourful house does really grab my attention. I actually wanted to try its breakfast menu but I came late so it is not available anymore, too bad. Besides typical Western food, it also provides Mexican food such as tortilla wrap, quesadillas, and taco. I ended up with the taco since I wanted something light.
















I just realised they gave me prawn taco instead of pork one after I took a snap of it. It looks tasty, though.

Since this place kept being posted on my timeline, I became curious about it. The colourful walls and decorations really attract me. I finally experience the place by myself. I booked a seat a few hours before and arrived at 9pm. I've never been to Mexico but when I came inside, I felt like I was in Mexico! The decorations really set up the mood.

It was already crowded and the music was on. I can't wait to dance, but I sat first and ordered a drink and meal. It provides many selections of Mexican small bites and refreshing drinks to accompany. While I was waiting for the food, people started to get up, gather on the dance floor, and even make a line and dance around. I didn't expect that this bar is family-friendly. I saw not only some, but many kids were dancing too. Great, then. I was shy at first but my body couldn't hold any longer. I brought myself to the dance floor and mingle with everybody. I thought as it gets late, more people would come. But turns out there was nobody dancing anymore at 10.30pm even though the music was still on! People started leaving which made less people inside. Well, I was having enough fun time after all.






The alcohol bar


















A refreshing Maraquya Passion - pinneaple juice, orange juice, and passion fruit pulp with burst of lemon soda and dash of grenadine (Rp35.000)


A very nice De Atun Tostaditas - raw tuna marinated with soy, lemongrass and ginger sauce, topped with onion, avocado, and sesame seeds (Rp45.000)




Had a great time. Night life doesn't have to be wild.

Hello again, readers! I just had a month trip to Europe which made me abandon my blog. Can't wait to write about it soon but let me finish my Bali story first, it's not over yet.
Bali was hot which made me crave for something cold and I didn't expect gelato shops are everywhere. Here are some that I visited:

1. Gelato Secrets
Tried the one in Ubud. Other branches are in Sanur and Petitenget. Saw the long queue when I passed and decided to try it after having lunch. Small but comfy place, great taste.






Flavours I tried: Salted Butter Caramel, Oreo, Valrhona Milk Chocolate & Brownies Bits, Speculoos
Price: Rp45.000,- for 2 scoops

2. Gusto Gelato
The most popular and highly recommended. The most affordable one with great taste. Really worth the value. Only has one shop in Jl. Mertanadi, Seminyak.






Flavours I tried: Coffee and Matcha
Price: Rp22.000,- (cup) and Rp24.000,- (cone) for 2 flavours
www.gusto-gelateria.com


3. Gelato Factory
Passed the street a lot and this shop really caught my attention. Love the fact that they differ the price based on size instead of flavours or scoops so we can try unlimited flavours in small portion!









Flavours I tried: Oreo, Dark Chocolate, Raspberry, Banana
Price: Rp30.000,- (small), Rp45.000,- (medium)
www.gelatofactorybali.com

4. Lello Lello Gelato
Another great gelato in Seminyak. A perfect last dessert to end my trip.









Flavours I tried: Espresso and Dark Chocolate
Price: Rp27.000,- for one scoop
