Soup was served separately.....

Our friendly driver cum guide told me.....if you wanna eat the best buntut, deep fried style, it will be in Denpasar....

We headed to MM Juice for the best oxtail stew & deep fried oxtail served separately with soup and rice......

Food & Beverages in Bali is not cheap.......Seafood are very expensive....we had seafood dinner in Sungai Seafood, Kuta and crabs cost 315 000 Rupiah!!! which is equivalent to S$30 per plate per crab!!!

Balinese food is best consumed in Warungs......like Padang's........

A tinge of disappointment! I can't get any good cup of freshly brewed coffee in Bali! They are all the common coffee outlets you could find here in S'pore - StarBucks, Coffee Bean, Illy's......I want my Kalimanjaro or Sumatran Darjheeling!!!!

There are too many western food outlets as compared to the Warungs.......Best is to ask the locals where to locate the best Balinese cuisine........

Despite touring Denpasar, Seminyak, Kintamani, Kuta, I enjoyed Ubud! Not only is Babi Guling popular, the Ubuds are very artistic and creative people......Beautiful jewelleries (which I truly adores), paintings, handicrafts etc are found here.......you can find a mixture of Aussie aborigine art in Bali.....

Bali is very much bigger as compared to S'pore.........to complete the tours, I would recommend a week's stay in Bali........

As the sayings go : "Traveling is not just seeing the new; it is also leaving behind. Not just opening doors; also closing them behind you, never to return. But the place you have left forever is always there for you to see whenever you shut your eyes." -- Jan Myrdal
