Around Villa Santorini, Hidden Hills Villa, Pecatu, Bali

Basique restaurant Jimbaran, Bali

This is the place that drew my attention from Intercontinental (just across the street).  The deco. and the clientele told me the place wouldn't be too bad.  So I had a carrot/orange/ginger blended juice (photo 1).  Then tried their Gazpacho (photo 3).  Photo 2 is Tom Yam soup (very fresh tiger prawn).  calamari in yellow curry (again Balinese curry is a bit too diluted).  5.: Tuna kebab.  Very fresh too.  6. Chocolate souffle 7. pumpkin pie.  

Suarga resort Padang Padang, Bali

On the south eastern tip of Bali Island, there are many spots for surfing, including this area Padang Padang.  Most resorts are built on the cliff top with a panoramic view to the ocean.  This one seems to be the bigger and cozy one.

Intercontinental Jimbaran, Bali

It's always fun to go check out some other resorts.  This time it's Intercontinental Jimbaran (about 20 min. by car from Pecatu), quite near to the airport.  The resort is in a high security but yet not bothering.  The house manager noticed our visiting and offered for help to find the restaurant we were about to visit.  This is a nice gesture for checking on the outside guests.  After browsing around the restaurant by the pool, I decided not to try it as there were something more interesting across the street of Intercontinental.  To be continued....

All day in-room dining, Hidden Hill Villas, Pecatu, Bali

In such a secluded resort, the restaurant should play an important role in impressing the guests, not just with the taste but also the diversity and the price.  As the resort has just only 6 villas, all the dining is in the room.  Definitely I'd love to try Gado Gado (Indonesian salad) - photo 1.  2. prawn pizza.  3. Balinese chicken curry - Balinese curry is a bit similar to those soup curry of Thai cuisine.  This one is even milder with more turmeric aroma. 4-7 breakfast. 8. Nasi Goerang (Indonesian fried rice) - quite a big portion but tasty enough to finish it all.  9. Balinese chicken salad - this one is so nice that I repeated the order in the next day - not so heavily seasoned - light and crispy lettuce, bean sprouts with shred chicken.  10. fresh fruit - interesting to find the Balinese passion fruit very sweet and a tangy texture.  11. Balinese congee.
