TROUBLES, DIFFICULTIES, HASSLES

Indonesia is not a violent environment and you very seldom hear of muggings, rapes, or fights. But due to its hugepopulation base, there is an element of the population who are ill-bred and rude (kasar in Indonesian). If anyone isever bothering you or touching you indecently, it's usually enough to say

'Jangan begitu, ftu tidak baik" ("Don't act like that, it's not nice"). This is sufficiently firm, yet polite, and willcover most unpleasant situations.

Other situations:

Please help me for a moment. I've missed the train. Tolonglah saya sebentar. Saya ketmggalan kereta api.I've been robbed. I've been held up. What a pity! Saya baw dirampok. Saya baru di todong. Kasihan!My money has been stolen. Our bags are missing. Uang saya dicud orang. Barang-barang kami hilang.I've lost my passport. All my IDs are gone. Paspor saya hilang. Semua pengenalan saya hilang.Where's the police station? Please call the police. Dimana kantorpoilsi? Tolong panggilkan poilsi.Can I speak with the manager? I am angry. Bisakah saya bicara dengan pengurus? Saya marah.Let's talk over the problem with... Madlah, kita bicarakan persoalan mi dengan...Is there anybody here who speaks English?

8FOOD/WATERResteraunt Review from Sammyjoe in the Bali Forum 26/01/05

Like most of you, we can't help but compare the prices we pay in Bali to the prices we pay in Australia.We always said It's a lot cheaper compared to Australia, not it's expensive by Bali's standard.Somehow we feel we will have a great holidays thinking that way!Having Indonesian/Asian dishes all the time in our house and a mother who is an excellent Indonesian cook doesn'thelp when we go to Bali to sample their food. Our Balinese friends own their restaurant in Jalan Melasti (Gosha), sothey also have an opinion as to which restaurant has the best Indonesian/ Balinese food.Below are list of restaurants we visited during our two weeks stay in Bali.

UBUD

1. INDUSIt is a walking distance from our hotel (Kori Ubud Spa & Resort), Most of you would know that Janet De Neefe ownsthis restaurant. We went for lunch and dinner.As I have mentioned last year their non dairy ice cream of coconut and jack fruit is a must, Peter(husband) agreed onthis. We had gado gado, spiced fish, opor ayam, beef rendang, paella. Prices and food are reasonable.The restaurant is huge, the view overlooks the gorge and Campuhan ridge probably means it is better for lunch thandinner.

2. CASALUNAAlso owns by Janet. Very popular with tourists, we've been here several times before, had lunch one afternoon and wecould smell something bad, depending on the breeze. When we mentioned this to our Balinese friends, they laughedand said it was the smell of the pigs sty in the field behind??3. TERAZZO, near the Ubud Palace.The place was empty when we had lunch, we had Lemak Laksa, daughter had chicken and chips. Food was ok,pricereasonable, the portions were huge.

4. BEBEK BENGIL (Dirty Ducks)Always make time to visit this place, in fact the three of us had their crispy duck, price hasn't changed at all, still Rp48,500 each, it comes with Lawar,sambal, rice and of course the tasty crispy duck!

5. MOSAIC,almost next door to our hotel.Friends suggested we visit this restaurant and compare it to Ku De Ta.This restaurant was fully booked the night we wanted to go, so we went the next day instead. The garden section ofthe restaurant was closed due to the wet season. Tables are slighly crowded, service was ordinary, food was ok.Appetizer costs around Rp 80,000. Main starts from Rp 120,000 to Rp 240,000. They also have Chef's tasting menu, 6courses for Rp350,000 ++ and wine pairing for Rp 250,000 ++. This menu allows you to choose one appetizer, onefisf, one foie gras, one meat, one cheese or fruit soup and one desert. Our appetizers were raw beef and tuna saladwhich were nice, but I must have ordered the wrong main (soft shell crab) as it wasn't nice at all. Poor daughetordered the same as they don't have children's menu. Peter had the Bedugul rabbit, which was also ordinary.Theycharge 10% for service and 10% for tax. We had high expectation of this restaurant, but it is no comparison to Ku DeTa.

6. NAUGHTY NURI (Opposite NEKA Art Museum) What a change from Mosaic, we loved this place. It's hard todescribe it, communal table setting, a dog underneath the table, they bbq your food practically as you enter therestaurant. The place was full, mainly expats. We had spare ribs and chilli con carne, The ribs were huge, came witheither rice or chips, for Rp45,000..it was worth it.I must mention the Neka Art Museum as Peter raves about it.Rp 20,000 entrance fee, lots of original Balinese paintings by Arie Smith, Rudolf Bonnet, Theo Meier,Suteja Neka andothers.

SEMINYAKNever stayed in this area before, what a mistake as there are so many restaurants to choose from!

1. LA LUCCIOLAWe've been here before for dinner only.


9It's certainly worth coming for lunch, for the view and watching the locals building a small shrine on the beachtypically casual or serious at the same time, now and then a group of locals would come and make some offerings andthen wander back to the shade for a chat.The place was half full of tourists and expats.Had pizza, salmon spaghetti, caesar salad,1 sprite, 1 lychee lime granita, 2 small bintangs, 2 New York fries, bills cameto Rp 290,000( Very cheap by Australian standard with a beach view)!!!

2. TRATTORIA, Jalan LaksmanaCheap Italian food, always full, tables are close to each other..great place to meet strangers if you know what I mean.Good value, and the way the waiter/waitress explaining the subtitles of the Italian menu to Aussies was interesting!3.KHAIMA, Moroccan Rest, Jalan Laksmana.We had a choice to go to Mykonos or here. Have read mixed reviews of Mykonos, so we chose Khaima.We had Lamb Tangine with veges, chicken kebab,chicken with couscous, one onion and raisin dish, 1 carafe of redwine, the bill was Rp 266,800 (Incl tax)....Will come again for sure...the food was so delicious.

4. GADO GADOThe restaurant has been renovated and it looks great at night.We were sitting outside, no beach sellers, it has probably 50 people, mostly tourists....including a Russian Couple...wewondered sometimes if they ever go out from their Nusa Dua Hotel?As soon as it was obvious that the rain had stopped, they set the tables outside and moved everybody who wanted tosit by the beach. We had two entrees each as we couldn't have main (still too full from lunch). They have children'smenu as well here...Food always good here, but ambience has improved, staff very helpful,friendly, efficient...Lloyd, you should be proud, well done Gado Gado.(What happened to Blackie, the dog)?

5. KU DE TAPeter's friend always celebrates her birthday here, so we had the best table!Nothing much to say about this place, we still think it;s the best restaurant in Bali, everything is first class, includingthe price

TUBAN/KUTA

1. Local food court at the New Discovery Mall-Top Floor(Lunch for working locals)Had lunch three times here.Gado gado (Rp 11,000), was the best one I had in Bali.Chicken & noodles soup, and Padang food.There are so many varieties of food here,Padang,Manadonese,Sundanese,Balinese,Chinese,sandwiches,crepes, Koreanat very cheap price.With an ocean view for your scenery, why wouldn't you come here?? The system is you order your food,they give youa docket and you pay at a cashier. They will bring your food to your table...You have to know which table you aregoing to sit...(each table has a number).

2. KUTA PLAZA Restaurant at jalan BakungsariIt's our fav. chinese food to have chilli crabs and buttered fried frog legs.

3. BUBBA GUMPS at Jalan Kartika PlazaAs Eva has already mentioned, prices have been reduced, we had Cajun Shrimp Rp 35,000, Fried Shrimp and chips Rp70,000, two lemonade drinks Rp 50,000, with service/tax 15%our bill was Rp 183,645..not bad. One visit for us is enough.

4. MADE'S Warung near Bemo's corner. I was by myself, and had gado gado ( Rp 20,000), ice lemon tea(Rp10,000)..no tax..was a pleasant lunch.

5. CAFE WATAN (will check the name later) next to the New Discovery Mall.The place was full of people when we had dinner, prices are reasonable, portion rather small, service wasn't that goodas food arrived over 15 minutes period. Daughter's dinner came as all of us were finishing ours. Food was just ok.

6. GREEN GARDEN HOTEL, TubanHad lunch here, satay ayam was nice and cheap.


10

7. IKAN BAKAR CIANJUR, Jalan Cok Agung Trisna, Denpasar.On our last day, our Balinese friends took us to this place(Sundanese food specialities). Lots of fish(grilled/fried)varieties, no English translation on the menu, but they have pictures of their food. There were 9 of us,the bill came to Rp 295,000. Very good value in a nice big air conditioned restaurant, service was really quick..willdefinitelycome back. .Food was really good by the way, the sambal..yum yum yum.

NUSA DUA/TANJUNG BENOA

Bumbu Bali, Tanjung BenoaNow that the galleria is closed, this is the only good restaurant that we know apart from the hotel.We come to Bumbu Bali every year. Food and service were good. They pick up and deliver guests from local hotels.

EIGHT DEGREES SOUTH, Conrad Hotel,Tanjung Benoa

There were 5 of us, had lovely tables by the beach.We had pizza, 3 paellas, chicken nugget, 6 ice cream, 1 chocolate brownies, softdrinks, 1 bottle of wog shiraz, billcame to Rp 1,173,700 (Incl 21% tax),cheap by Australian Standard!..Ambience, food, service were fantastic.The restaurant was empty, we believe their pricier restaurants Suku and Spice were also empty when we were there.

IKAN, at The Westin in Nusa Dua.Not the restaurant it was, rumour has it that the newish French chef is settling in with a little staff disruption.After having dinner here, Peter had his Bali belly, he thinks it was the beef carpachio(spelling?)

Grand Hyatt has a nice buffet set up in the evenings. Permanent small village at food stalls. Each stall has differentchoises of great local food. Lobster, prawns, soto ayam,babi guling,bebek betutu,etc etc...Don't eat all day beforehand and visit your friendly ATM.Superb buffet plus excellent Legong or Kecak Dance at Rp 325,000 ++.

Wine has become more common in Bali over the years and wine by the glass or house carafes are available mostplaces at Aussies prices. Locally bottled wine of the God is certainly very drinkable. If you bothered to bring Aussieswines, many restaurants will accept byo. Don't forget Aerogard for most of these restaurants in the evening!Hope I haven't bored you all, there are many restaurants that we didn't have time to visit such as rumours, MaJoli..next trip.Happy reading and Australia's Day.

Adhi Dharma (good)

2004 (part of the hotel); Jl Legian no 155, Kuta. Excellent satays and nasi goreng although rice servings smaller thanat other places.

Agung Pub & Restuarant, (good)

Sanur. Excellent seafood.

Albion Sarat House (cheap)

Albion Satay House. Rp12,000 breakfast. A$2.00!

All Stars Caf (good)

OK. All Star surf cafe also good and cheap. At Tuban. Good for breakky.Decent breakfast as well with great smoothies and milkshakes.

Very nice surfing themed restaurant situated on JL Kartika Plaza, between the Bintang Hotel and Kuta Square.

Cafe on the 1st floor.) Although it is slightly dearer than what you may pay elsewhere, the food is fantastic. At nightsfrom 8pm, they have psuedo Sumo Wrestling where restaurant patrons don big cushioned suit's and prepare tobounce the other out of the Sumo ring. They also have a guy that demonstrates his skill at making cocktails similar tothe way they were made in the movie by the same name featuring Bryan Brown and Tom Cruise and they also haveLimbo dancing. Kids are welcomed to have a go at the wrestling so long as they can get into the suits and stand up.The ones that are too small to do this usually are the ones that win the Limbo dancing...think about it!!

2001 - All Stars Cafe at Kuta is a good night out for a family with Sumo wrestling & out the front you can get a photowith animals.Went down the road & enjoyed a meal for 1/5 of price it would of cost.All Stars Surf Cafe ,enjoyed meal ,atmosphere, sumo wrestling & all the surfboards signed by surf pros from aroundthe world.

All Stars - the boys loved the sumo wrestling and watching the band - great terriyaki burgers. Not as cheap as someplaces but still cheap enough. My youngest son spent most of the night downstairs with the huge python wrappedaround his neck - loved it.

We ordered garlic bread as a starter which came out withmelted cheddar cheese all over it, might seem a little picky but if we wanted cheese on toast I would have asked forit. We sent that back and they eventually brought out bread with garlic on it, imagine that. The food was ordinary andthe service by Bali standards was poor. Perhaps they have gone a little far with the Aussie theme and not only providean Aussie atmosphere but Aussie food and service as well. Bali Aussie Rating 5/10.

vegetables and many other vegetarian dishes such as fried buttered mushrooms. There are fish, squid, prawn, andchicken dishes, but no pork, lamb or beef. The drinks are great: many different Arak Cocktails try the "My Bali" withmango juice, brem, arak vanilla, and grenadine, or the Ginseng Arak, Lemon Grass Arak, or Vanilla Arak. My favoritewith the after dinner coffee is the "Arabian Night" Arak with star anise, cinnamon, and other spices.

CartsThe scene was amazing. Several small trolleys each serving an array of different local food or drinks were parked in noparticular order in an area under the street lantern. There were many local people chatting and laughing while eatingfrom these food vendors. It was just like an outdoor bistro. Like a huge party. Dony told me the food vendors arecalled "kaki lima". They specialize in serving the local community. My, what the hotel guests are missing out on. Thearoma of the food was indescribable. I couldn't help myself, I had to try a bit of everything.Bakso Sapi - (Noodle soup with beef balls)Sate Ayam or Sate Kambing - (Chicken or Goat satay)Soto Babat - (Offal Soup)Martabak telur - (A savoury omelette .....delicious)Sop Kaki Kambing - (Leg of lamb soup)Nasi Goreng Komplit - (Fried rice with the lot, and a fried egg on top!)Mie Kocok - (Fried noodles with vegetables)Lontong Opor - (Rice Cake with chicken curry)Tahu Ketupat - (Beancurd and vegetables)Karedok - (Vegetables with peanut sauce)Cah Kangkung - (Spicy mixed vegetables with spinach)Nasi Campur - (A mixed rice dish, a Balinese speciality)Well all this was simply delicious, but what a thirst I had.........Es Campur - (Mixed fruit drink)Es Kelapa muda - (young coconut milk with coconut flesh)And for dessert........Cendol - (A dessert or drink made from coconut milk, palm sugar and rice flour)What a feast! And the cost of this feast! Less than a dollar a serve...........now where did I put the ENO?

Casa Luna, Ubud (mixed)


16

Someone on forum thought it was good. 3 storey restauarnt - great food and decor - again forum recommends.Someone else on forum said disappointing. Known for pasta and desserts.Dishes can be disappointing. Walkdownstairs for great Balinese paella, fetta calzone and papaya and lime meringue pie. Entrees, mains, dessert,cocktails, bintangs $25 for 2. Always busy, excellent value for money,day or night The Casa Luna, associated with agreat bakery, is the standout. A diverse menu for all meals, good hygiene, but somewhat indifferent service,unexpected from such a large wait staff.Casa Luna - the grilled tuna and lime tart were unbeatable. Ubud is full of greatrestaurants though- we wanted to stay to try them all out.

Just make sure you alwaysask for "Bali Coffee" otherwise they might try to serve you Nescafe !!!There are a lot of small coffee shops around the place, but if you are anywhere near Kuta/Tuban look for the Koffe Potin Kuta Square, it is just great!!

Coke etcTake own supermarket drinks on tours. Cans of coke at tourist sites cost 5,000 Rp. But price at supermarkets. Takea small chill bag. Some will try and sell it to you for 10,000Rp but this is about 8 times the going rate in Bali.Coke (cans) 3,200 rpWater (Bottle 500ml) 3,200 rp

Dirty Duck Diner, Ubud (small servings)


17

Great. Very good. Nice setting. Avoid crispy duck which is dry. But the portions are extremely small and you will still behungry.The Dirty Duck, at the opposite end of Ubud, has a great setting, particularly the back tables over the ricepaddies, and great food, as well.

Dulang Restaurant (expensive)We had fantastic king prawns at the Dulang Restaurant Rp72 000.

EMA Restaurant, near Nusa Dua (expensive)Best bargain - a/c and very comfortably furnished. Services choice of Chinese or Thai set menus *8-12 courses) forUS$6-10 per person. YUM CHA: Emmas, Galleria Kuta behind round-a-bout. (Recommended by Chinese nationals.)Mataharis Food Hall.

Fat Yogis (bad)Fat Yogis Kuta. Forget it unless you only want pizza. Some of the worst food weve been served. How can you destroynoodles? Is this chicken soup or chicken st? Indifferent service.

Flora Hotel (good`roast)Flora Hotel Roast Nite is fabulous.

Food - GeneralThis is just an opinion - fruit for breakfast and a cheesy pisa and chop choy or gado-gado for lunch may be the way togo - and of course, seafood and Bintang for dinner! Food stalls or warungs offer meals for about 4-5,oooRp. Toprestauarnts etc charge 15-80,000 Rp in best places and beers are 8-20,000Rp. 10% service charge usually added tobill as well as tax.Tiny food stalls or warungs offer 1-2 specially prepared local specialities but primitve surroundingscan spoilt the experience for visitors. Avoid small green chillies or sambal.For down to earth experience of Indonesian food visit night markets or food halls in or adjacent to shopping centreseg Tiara Dewata in Denpasar. For $1 or so can try Bakso - different sate and balinese sate lilit which is differentminced seafood etc.Wear long pants and socks at most restauarants as mozzies live under the tables. Ask restaurantsto light coils while you are there. Generally, suggest eating main meal as early in the day as you can as food isfresher.Do NOT eat grapes as they are the most handled of foods. They will make you very sick. Avoid eating anyfruits that you cant peel. Avoid traditional smoked duck as it can also make you sick. Lots of restaurants like you topay in foreighn currency and will give you very good rates. Ask for spices to be left off kids food. Rahayu are coveredpeanuts (often with coconut etc.) Good eating.Dont eat Bali chocolate as it tastes terrible. They dont use fresh milk inits production.Try emping crackers look lite potato chips but are better. Supermarkets have nibbles. Taro Snacksand Good Time cookies are good and cheap.

Fruit2004 - On the way back, Nyoman stopped at a local supermarket and we brought mangosteens and mangos for me totake back to my room. (About 10,000R for 1 kilo mangosteens and 2 mangos from memory).2004 - 5,000 pineapples,bunches of bananas, 10,000 coconut

Fruit JuicesHi there, the secret about the Bali Belly is fruit acid. Western stomachs are not used to it, if you arrive here, try not todrink to many fruit juices, it's healthy but you're not used to it.

Gado GadoIs a charcoal grilled skewer with small pieces of chicken, beef, pork, pr prawns served with peanut sauce. Also a nicerestaurant just opened in Seminyak.

Gajah Gajah (good)Excellent for Indian food. Gajah Gajah. Rum Jungle Road, Legian St end. Indian. Vegetable samoosas!

Garden View (good) seafood??Garden View Hotel in Legion great smorgasboard meals and very cheap, different theme each night eg. Mexican,roast, seafood.

Gayatra Cafe - on Monkey Rd Forest (??)Good place to take a child. Upstairs they had big couches around low tables and plenty of cushions. Very comfy!

Gazebo Restaurant (great/seafood)2004 - A big favourite was also the Gazebo Restaurant every night they had a fire going and grilled seafood asrequired. We ate wonderful snapper for Rp13 000 for this princely sum you get a good piece of snapper, potatoesfrom the fire, some wonderful chili sauce and a coleslaw salad on the side! The tuna was Rp 23 000, grilled calamariRp 16 000. We also had great seafood sate sticks and Nasi and Mee Goreng.

Not being a big drinker I didnt focus on Bintang prices too much, but they ranged from Rp 7000 for a small Bintangup to Rp 10 000. I love the fresh fruit juices and drank copious quantities of watermelon, papaya, banana and mixedfruit juices. I also love snake fruit and ate plenty of that chill it in the fridge and take it to the beach yummm!!

Goa 2001 in Seminyak (good)Japanese open till 1am but could be sold out. Also serves Indian, Indonesian, Thai etc. Open air. Excellent music anddrinks. Quiet and pleasant during dinner.

Goes Art (great brekky)Found two good places to have breakfast, "Goes Art" turn left when you come onto Jl Legian from the gang, downabout 5 mins walk, clean and good value, 17000rp each for a full American Bkf, $3.40 Aust.Goes Art Bar & Restaurant, Jl Legian. Good for breakfast.

Glory Restaurant, legian2004 - We had dinner at Glory. I was very annoyed because I had to eat white rice and nothing else. The juices werethe BEST we had anywhere, the mango and bannana chocolate juices were SUPURB. The prices were okay, 40,000rpfor satays and Kate refused to eat them. The food was satisfactory, quite plain. Prawns cost 75,000rp and they havevery fresh seafood. What really made the evening was the delicious mango mouse for dessert. It was actually ahomemade mango sorbet with vanilla ice cream and fresh mango strips (BLISS). The staff there are great, Jaientertained us with his amazing magic for ages. There is also a lovely garden setting. Check this place out, its a lot offun. You can get jugs of cocktails for 50,000rp too! :We can also recommend "Glory Restaurant" in Legian Street,Legian. Very cheap and great food. It is almost due East of Melasti Beach in Legian Street.

Golden Lotus (??)The GOLDEN LOTUS inside the Bali Dynasty Resort (operated by Shangri-La Hotels) in Tuban is well-known for a widerange of good Chinese dishes and 'Dim Sum' (during lunch on Sundays) which are served in comfortable hotelsurroundings. The unpretentious but air-conditioned B.M.J. (Bak Mie Jakarta) restaurant, Jalan Raya Kuta No. 22 onthe main road between Kuta and the airport, does serve a tasty version of the fried noodles (Bakmie) which it wasnamed after, but I used to enjoy also their 'Dim Sum' (also called 'Yum Cha') -- a variety of small dumplings, steamedbuns and other mini delights served in rattan baskets. Inside the baskets you find steamed dumplings filled withprawns and pork ('Siu Mai' and 'Har Gau'), or shark fin ('Yu Chi Gau'), crisp-fried rolls with prawns, and 'Char Siu Bau',rather filling barbecued pork buns. The prawns and other ingredients were always fresh, and the prices are aboutRupiah 4,500 per basket (a fraction of what you would pay in Hong Kong or Taipei). Recently, however, the portionshave become smaller, and the quality has gone down, too.

Gosha Bar, Kuta/Legian (expensive??)

Just up from Balitoo. Dinner for 4 - seafood platter - $30. For tea. Seemed overpriced to some people and drinks wereexpensive.We were rushed from the moment we went in till the moment we left and did not have time to relax evenwhen we told the staff we were not ready to order on a number of occasions. Someone thought Gosha was good.2004 - Gosha on Jl. Melasti was our dinner destination, was very busy, probably around 150 people there. The foodand service was good. Gosha Rating 8.5/10.

Grand Caf Tropicana (good)Our favourite was Grand Caf Tropicana. Its owned by Dutch people who own the Puri Mas resort. They have a reallygood menu, and a fantastic band. They play almost every request you ask for, and have great personalities. We got toknow the staff quite well and really enjoyed our meals there. They do fantastic pizzas if you get a longing for cheese prices range from Rp32 000 upwards, depending on size and toppings. Theyre really worth the price. I had awonderful snapper, and great nasi goring. We had cocktails which were also around Rp45 000, Bintangs from Rp 7500up and fresh fruit juices. They were having a special on buffet evenings Asian and International buffet nights for Rp30 000 which includes coffee/tea or orange juice. Judging from the huge plates of food which passed us they werereally worth it if you needed to stock up after a long day on the beach!

Green Garden Restaurant, near Dynasty (good)Great for fresh fruit juice and lunchs. At Tuban. Good. Serves spring rolls, garlic prawns and saut sticks and give freemassages while you wait. Green Garden - just down from Dynasty - very popular restaurant, turned away one night,too busy, next night had a nice meal, not fantastic but cheap and enjoyable. About $20 for the four of us.Complimentary hand, shoulder and neck massages while you wait for your meal. walk out dynasty gate, turn lefttheres laundromat, kodak shop then supermarket and then green garden

Hard Rock Caf (no)

Rip off very expensive. Avoid why buy hamburgers when in bali? Had a very nice dinner at the Hard Rock Cafe.The place was packed and although it's quite expensive by Balinese standards, it's much cheaper than the MelbourneHard Rock cafe. Hard Rock Hotel, Legian - Expensive - and you have to ask for your change!2004 - Of to the HardRock Caf for dinner, we found that the food was very good and at reasonable prices however the drinks compared toother places were a little expensive.

Indus, Ubud (varied reports)I was very disappointed in Indus, which I had heard was so good. I would never go back to IndusOwned by Casa Luna, more upmarket all round, serious contender for my "Best restaurant in Ubud" award. Our alltime favorite was Indus for atmosphere, service,quality of the food and reasonable price.

Intan Bar, Jimbaran (yes)Lobster etc sold by weight. Lobster 150,000Rp/kilo, prawns 140,000Rp, snapper 40,000. BBQd and includes salad,rice, spices and fruit. 100,000 for beer & 1 kilo red snapper.

Jakz Place, Sanur (good)Friendly cafe with good food and prices - had breakky there almost every day. Recommended on forum.

JD's Cafe on Padma Street. (good)Good and cheap.2004 - For dinner we went to JDs. Kate had satays every night, wherever we went and she maintainsthat they have the best. The food was great and very cheap. We ate all indonesian and shared dishes again. The onlyreason JDs doesn't do as well as some of the other restaurants is that its lacking atmosphere. The music, lighting etcwasn't beckoning and the staff were very sweet but not dynamic. 2004 - BEST nasi goreng ever (16,000) andexcellent satays (18,000), snapper (30,000) and the crinkle-cut chips are sensational (8,000 a plate) for a snack.Excellent juices and cheapest at 5,000 each.

Jensens (good)Jensens in Jl Bakung Sari. Clean restaurant and v. good toilets. Karaoke entertainment. Happy hour midday 8pm.

Jimbaran Bay Sharkys (good)Caf Jukung came recommended. Humble hut with a few seats but the prices are cheap and the sertvice flawless. Hasa really nice beach with white sand. Waves not too high for swimming, wind surfing and sailing. Great for watchingfamous sunsets.Get there about 5.40pm before sunset at 6.10pm. The earlier you get there the better your choice ofseafood. Have a bintang as the sun sets. End of the beach nearest the airport is cheaper and it suffers from less buildup of smoke from the fires.Rp100,000 for lobster/kilo, BBQd including accompaniments of potatoes, some rice andsome salad and fruits. More recent prices on Forum are Snapper with vegies, salad, rice, potatoes, sauces, sambals35,oooRp/kilo. Grilled prawns 90,000; lobster 150,000; large bottle of beer only 1000Rp.The lobster was 3kg, 6 prawns1.5kg and the schnapper was 2kg. Including 3 beers the cost was 180000 rh. The lobster was beautifully sweet - beinglarge it did not dry out in the cooking nor did the prawns. We were in the middle of the restuarants and there was atoilet facility for this restaurant.Plan to arrive around 4.30pm for the sunset. Take your binoculars to watch the planes.DON'T FORGET THE AEROGUARD (aka personal insect repellent) The flies disappear at sunset however the sandflies can be a bit savage.Travel as far south as you can as some new ones have appeared. You will find a group of 10warongs on the beach ,they appear to have a common roof but you will see diferent names on the roof and at themoment Yomans is the best,dont forget to haggle about the price per/Kg. In our experience the restaurants closest tothe Inter-Continental i.e. to the South (away from the airport) are the most pleasant.Just make sure that the lobster youbuy is ALIVE! There is nothing worse for PSP than crustaceans that have gone "off".5-6 restaurants closest to KeratonHotel near airport are the best near north side. 1 kilo prawns there 80,000Rp and beer 8,000Rp.Take 1 litre of water ina bottle to test their scales. They are always wrong ie they will want to charge you 1.6 kilos for a 1 kilo lobster.

Jonis in Jalan Padma (good)Comes recommended. Jonis in Jl Padma. Nice setting around the pool. The night we went they had traditional dancing, which was a nice visual experience. Food was good and prices reasonable. Missed happy hour and did'nt keep detailsof prices, but think they were about average.

Judis Restaurant/Caf (good)If you get the chance you have to get a cappucino at Judi's down the lane by the Dwira Hotel ( which is basically justup the street towards Padma and on the other side of the road).

Jukungs caf (good)I was reading through this forum and noticed a couple of people had written about Jukungs Cafe in Jimbaran Bay. Itoo would like to compliment on this Cafe. My husband and I walked along the beach looking for some where to eat.We didnt know where to eat and we were tired of walking so we just picked any cafe, this being Jukungs Cafe. Wewere then seated by Putu the waiter, a very friendly man he is. My husband had hesitations in eating at this cafe


21

because it was only a small cafe, but after the meals my husband was completely satisfied and said 'thats the bestmeal i have had in a long time'. I would reccommend this cafe to everyone who is going to Bali. The food is terrificand reasonably priced and the service is great and the people are very friendly. This small cafe proves that big isntalways better!!!

Kalamantan Restaurant, Sanur (good)One of the cheapest rests in this area. Great for brekky and other meals.

Karina Restaurant, lovina (NO)Disgusting restaurant. The worst meal we had on Bali by far. Food was very poor and he buffet looked appalling.

Kartika Restauarant (good)Lunch dinner for 2 is $8.50. Buffet breakfast 30,000Rp with toast, crooisants, breads, sausages, juices, fruits, baconand eggs. Great brekky on top of a supermarket near the Dynasty.Kartika - Upstairs above the supermarket justoutside the entry to the Santika. One brekkie . Their Easy Breakfast - very good. We also went to their dinner-show -their Wednesday night all-you-can-eat baked dinner with a cultural dance performance - all for 50,00R each - excellentvalue

Kin Khao Thai, Seminyak (good)2004 - Kin Khao (Thai) Jl Raya Seminyak 732-153. Good service, cheap .Lots of good but lacking a bit of Thai spcie soget them to add spice to it. Most dishes 10-15,oooRp. Thai food is served in the air-conditioned KIN KHAO ThaiRestaurant, Jalan Raya Seminyak No. 37. However, their "Thom Yam Gung", Fried Fish Cakes, Green Papaya Salad,Spring Rolls, a Green Chicken Curry, and "Hormok" (steamed mixed seafood) are recently lacking the spiciness of realThai food -- although you can specify when ordering how you'd like your food. Most dishes are 20,000 to 30,000Rupiah. The same owners opened in Summer 1997 a larger, more luxurious new branch in Jalan Kartika Plaza. Thefood there is equally "touristy", and the prices are about 50% higher than in Seminyak. Kin Khao - Thai restaurantopposite Dynasty. Fantastic meal - beautiful Thai Beef Salad, spring rolls and red curry - very reasonable prices andthe staff were great. Kin Khao Kuta (Thai food excellent).Kin Khao, Thai. Jl Raya Seminyak #37, Kuta. 732 153 Highon our list.

Koris, Poppies Lane 2 (good)Recommended on forum. Also went ot Kori on Poppies 2 a bit dearer but excellent food, and greatBrownies with ice-cream, pasts, garlic bread etc With the restaurants, the list of Ian & Cathy just about sums it up. Iwould add the Kori in Poppies 2 ( If you can get to it). KORI Restaurant & Bar, hidden away in nearby Poppies II Lane,offers comfortable open-air seating in pleasant surroundings (tropical garden with several ponds, nice decoration andatmosphere). Service is attentive, and the menu lists specialties from many countries such as Indonesian Satays, Thaibeef salad, Thom Yam, and Green Chicken Curry, Singapore Chilli Crab, Australian beef steaks, tuna steaks, beefburgers, pork chops, Caesar salad, and Italian pasta. There is a good choice of desserts (from Balinese Black RicePudding to Bavarian Vanilla Cheese Cake), and they have several kinds of delicious home-baked breads with a


22

crunchy crust. Good food, nice presentation, large portions, and very reasonable prices also for wine. They offer topark your car a few hundred meters away as you cannot leave it in the narrow, often congested lane.Koris RestaurantPoppies lane 2 1st class food excellent atmosphere. Reasonable price. Kori Restaurant down Poppies Lane 1diagonally opposite to Tubes- excellent cuisine in a gorgeous setting. Kori Rest. Poppies Lane 2 - (absolutely the bestplace I have eaten at. says Nell.)2004 great restaurant.Koris, Kuta. Poppies Lane 2. 758 605 Not cheap but nice.Another favourite.

Kubuku (good)Kubuku- Poppies 2. Cheap, good.

Kuta Seafood (no)A big tacky restaurant with an awful dance performance.

Kuta Seaview(part of Seaview Hotel) a wide miss.

Ku de ta - in Seminyak (good)Good restaurant.2004 - Jl laksmana no 9,Seminyak or just walk up the beach from Legian (approx 30 minutes) andenter from there.Very funky with DJ playing at lunch. Appears to now be a place for the beautiful people to be seen,mainly Europeans. To give you an example, we saw a girl strutting around in knee high leather boots despite the 30 +temperature. They have day rave parties (dress code: less is more) and fashion shows, art house movies. The cigarbar has closed but you can still buy cigars and smoke them in the new bar area. Food was sensational as werejuices. A must at least once just to experience it. Make sure you visit the toilets individual hand towels!

Lakeview Rest, Kintamani (??)Buffet expensive at $6US and not very good. Some are saying it was only $5 and quite qood.

La Lucciola (expensive)Awesome setting. Well presented nice food. Pricey for Bali. Location out of the way.Italian food sometimes nice but not reliable. Dinner 375,000Rp. Always full of people .LA Lucciola - the best we went to. Bit pricy but good. You can take wine and corkage is 50000rp. Watch the rats in thepalm trees at dusk -yummy!

2004 - on the beach. Seminyak.La Lucciola, Seminyak. $$$ On the bch. Talk to Denise French about Bali Street Animal Rescue.2004 - Oberoi Road,Kay Aya Beach. Just up from Ku De Ta if you walk along the beach. Sensational as always best view and a bit morerelaxed than Ku De Ta. Try the fruit granitas.

La Porchetta (good)Went to La Porchetta for dinner, very reasonable with excellent food and service.Its on Jl Legian just south of Melastist. This is near Peanuts for everything ranging from pizza to spicy Thai seafood.

La MondePadma Utara street, above Loji Supermarket. More western than Asian. Pizzas, spaghetti, sweets etc. Interestingoutlook.

La Tabu (great)2004 - La Tabu Jl Petitenget, Seminyak. Around corner from La Luciola.Opposite Petitenget temple. Cheap. 9.000 Mie Goreng (with chunks of chicken). Nice cake and iced tea.

La Teras (good)Ok food. Nice setting. Not as expensive as La Lucciola. Complimentary bread basket, best mushroom rigattonni, greatpizzas. Most dishes between 20-30,000Rp.

Lazer Sports Bar (no)Dinner at Lazer sports bar across road, not far from Gazebo - good place for watching sport on big screen TVs, butthere's better food elsewhere.

23

2004 - The Legend- Jl Sahadewa, Legian. 755376 ( Great food, reasonable price.(Entertainment, music, dance party, (9.30-). Balinese dance (Tue, Th, Sat) Too many staff who tend to hover a bit toomuch. )

The Legend all-you-can-eat b/fast Rp10,000.

Legian Snacks (great)

I would also recommend Legian Snacks for a cheap meal .2004 - Good restaurants CHEAP lunch - definitely LegianSnacks - Ultra cheap and great indonesian food noodles etc - can get western food as well. Legian Snacks? This maybe a bit cryptic because i don't know the street name - but Jl Padma has only three streets that run off it. The top endis Jl Legian then as you head down Jl Padma towards the beach the first street on the left is Garlic Lane, where theIndo National is, then the next on the right is the street Legian Snacks is. You go up this street about 50 metres and itis on your right - there is also a great DVD shop next door. is in Jalan Padma Utara near Garden View Cottages, LojiSupermarket and La Monde restaurant. There pancakes are superb if you have a sweet tooth.

Legian Gardens (great)

2004 Great. For dinner we went to Taman Legian Garden Restauarant (Legian Garden). #* Legian Garden (TamanLegian) Jl Melasti. Ph 751-544Good prices, friendly staff. Breakfast buffet 12.500. Happy hour at dinner (cheapcocktails). On Malasti street. It is called the Legian Garden. It serves cheap breakfasts all you can eat for 12000rps.($2aus or $1 us) the people here are extremely friendly and make everyone feel welcome.The Legian Garden is a verycheap clean place to eat where the staff are friendly. it is situated in Melasti Street Legian bording Kuta diagonallyacross the road from the Bali Aussi Restuarant. A place where we often eat is called Legian Garden Restaurant in JalanMelasti - the food is very good, cheap, the staff are great and most importantly the beer is very cold. Breakfast is allyou can eat for 12,000rp. Legian Garden is not far from the Intan - head up Jalan Melasti and it's on the right handside, opposite Garlic Lane.2004 - We still think the Legian Garden in Melasti St is still unbeatable for breakfast and atethere a couple of times. Legian Gardens, Melasti St. Breakfast eat all you want A$2.

Le Monde (good)2004 - What a lovely setting, on the airy balcony (we were actually cold). We got there at 8:45 and they said it wouldtake an hour!! Get there at 6pm or dont bother. La Monde - ate their heaps upstairs as you got a really nice breeze -nice pizzas, pastas, nasi goreng

Lemongrass (good)2004 - Jl Raya Seminyak 37, Seminyak. We eat Thai every Friday night in Melbourne and this place was sensational.Its indoors which is also quite a nice change easy to drop in at lunch but book if you want to eat in the evening as itonly seats 50 people. Cant rave enough about how good the food is here.

Lennys (yes)a great restaurant and not expensive: "lenny's" near the hard rock hotel. great fresh seafood! staff is very friendly

LG Restaurant, Kuta (probably not)Indian specialities. But no air/c and surroundings are not attractive. Cost 150,000 Rp for 4-6 people. Most dishes20,000Rp.

Mama Lucia (good Italian)Mama Lucias Legian Street (fantastic Italian food).2004 - Went to Mama Luciaon Jl. Legian just down from the hotel for dinner, met a guy called Wayan there who was trying to teach ussome Balinese with maybe just a little success. We both had a Bolognese which to our surprise was very nice;the drinks were also reasonably priced. Mama Lucia Rating 8.5/10.

Mango Caf, Sanur (good)Great spot for lunch. Brekky is cheap for about $3.

Markets, KutaDont buy local produce as you will pay 20% higher and quality will be inferior. The markets at the top end of Melastihave just been closed and are under renovation,expected to take a few months.A new car park is planned to beincluded as well. Try a beers and burger at hueys over the road from there,really good!! Some are saying that theLegian Art market is open though. Two different markets?

Murnis Warung, Ubud (good)Someone on forum thought it was good. Recommended again. Should try Bebek Betutu here - duck speciality slowlybaked in banana leaves with different herbs and spices. To try the above dish suggest booking day in advance. Lovelydesign and setting. Go before it gets dark.The best thin about Murni's is the general manager, an Aussie named Peter,who is one of our best memories about Bali. If you go to Murni's Warung at the Campuhan Bridge.Located right at theSuspension Bridge at the Tjampuhan end of town. Has grown dramatically over the years and now covers 3 levelsoverlooking the River. Food is v good and prices very reasonable. They do about the best Gado Gado in Bali!

Onion soup, Seafood Cocktails, seafood, Indo, burgers etc. etc. The resident dog is named Tata.Owned by one of the staff and tolerated by all he is a sleepy 7 year old trickster who will love your breakfast bacon.

Papas (good)Papas. Jl Pantai, Kuta. Great coffee good meals. 2004 - Jl Pantai Kuta (near Legian Beach Hotel end) Pizza and pastaas close to Lygon Street standard as we have found in Bali. Generous serving and free herb bread rolls and stickswhich was nice touch.

Restaurants General

Avoid tourist trap restaurants near or on way to tourist attractions as they were expensive and were unwellafterwards. In some smaller rests can eat main course for $1-$2. Rests in Bali are dark - take a flashlight. Dont eatat hotel rests. Can feed family of 4 a 3 course meal with drinks for 75,000Rp.Best places are lanes off main streets. Dont eat from vendor stalls. Ask them to light coils at dusk.

Romas Caf at Jimbaran (good)

Great seafood variety. Ask for table close to water to avoid smoke and ask for spices to be left off kids meals.

Ryoshi Restaurants (Sanur and Kuta) (good)Good sushi and a/c. Recommended on forum. If you go after 8.30pm most of the fish will be gone.Japanese chain of rests open until midnight. Can have sushi or sashimi. Low prices.

Rum Jungle Road Restaurant (good)Average food, but plenty of it. Very cheap. Looked a bit ord. as we were the only customers at that time of the day(7am)...we didnt realize that all was too early for Bali. WEnt back there for dinner one night, totally differentatmosphere and GREAT food. The kids loved all the fish in the tanks. So cheap about $12 to feed all of usRum Jungle out the main gate and just up Rum Jungle road we had most of our breakfasts there.

Weweren't disappointed as the food was excellent and very reasonably priced with bacon and eggs at 9,500rp and openham, cheese and tomato sandwich on wholemeal pita bread for 12,000rp (it was a huge meal). The restaurant issituated right on the beach with great views along the beach to the mountains. With its black volcanic sand, Lovina
