The Island of Paradise: indeed the word ‘paradise’ does not only encompass the extensive range of jaw-dropping beaches, majestic mountains and verdant valleys that you’ll find on the island. Bali is also Indonesia’s very own paradise of food. People from different nationalities and countries make their way to Bali regularly. With that being said, Bali is itself made up […]

In Jimbaran bay, seafood restaurants on the beach still draw the biggest crowd. With that being said, on a recent trip to head to my local seafood spot, one restaurant caught my attention. Bamboo Chic, found just a stones-throw away from the beach, has been attracting more and more gourmands and I thought it necessary […]

Sarong, once nestled on a road leading out from the epicentre of Seminyak’s Eat Street, sits elegantly behind a garden wall, a simply constructed house designed to reflect the beauty of its surroundings, at one time rice fields, and the delight of tropical evenings. Adorned with long drapes that flow from ceiling to floor Sarong […]

It’s as if when Bali was being formed, its creator had love in mind.

For this month’s issue, and with Japan on my mind, I thought I’d […]

Eruption Bistro & Coffee located in the midst of busy Sunset Road, Bali, captures the essence of Bali’s evolving cafe scene with a stylish eatery that places equal emphasis on food and ambiance. The bistro takes on a semi-industrial look, with its washed-out wooden furniture, brick walls and industry. But the scene is set even before you […]

Blessed with a white sand beach and naturally formed cave as the background of your romantic feast, this Nusa Dua venue offers an exotic experience of having an intimate occasion with your loved one in an enchanting setting. Tucked away at Nusa Dua Beach, the charming ambiance can easily be found at Samabe Bali Suites […]

Bold, strong and exotic flavours are the driving force behind the burgeoning popularity of Indonesian food. Freshness also abounds in the dishes from across the archipelago with garnishes such as basil, limes, chives, and many others. Up in the Bukit area, Double Ikat dishes up some improvements, adding the sensory excitement in the restaurant’s offerings […]
