Off to beijing

Will be away for 12 days. More when I return.

bali

Just returned from Bali. There are many interesting facets to this tourist destination.
Food first...

"Babi guling" is a common sign board. You have guessed right... roast suckling piglet!!!But unfortunately had no chance to try it. So for the foodies of "babi guling" here is the place to head out for.

Seafood... had an expensive meal in Jimbaran bay... crabs, fish cuttle fish, prawns on the beach complete with seranade from a five piece band, with background music of strong waves breaking in!! The food was Ok but it was the essence of the Balinese experience that patched the big hole in our purses.

Yes there are lots of seafood here but you must know where to go. And that was what we found out the following night... in a "choo char" coffee shop run by Hokkien speaking Chinese down the road five blocks from Hotel Ratna Kuta (a 3 starhotel in town). Fresh steam fish, sweet sour crabs, prawn assan tumis, bbq squid and much much more....very fair price.

For lunch it was typical tourist buffet fare in resort locations overlookin the rice paddies with Mt. Catur in the backgroung on day one, and also at Kintamani with a scenic view of Mt Baturon day two. The high rating of the view compensated for the shortfall in food taste.

For drinks, do not miss out on the avocado smoothie with gula melaks syrup... yes it was heavenly!!

More on other aspects another time.
