BREAKFAST

 American breakfast at Paradiso Beach Inn

On our first morning, we were given just 2 slices of toast and eggs. On the 2nd morning, a slice of cheese was added. On the 3rd morning, a slice of beacon or ham was added. Finally, on the last morning, we had our complete American breakfast...LOL!

 

LUNCHES

 

1. Buffet at Lake Batur - overlooking the volcano and the lake.

You have to pay for the mineral water but coffee and tea are free. It has quite a huge variety of food, dessert and fruits as compare to the buffet at Pacung Village. My children had voted this meal as their most memorable and scrumptious meal in Bali.

 



2. Buffet at Pacung Village

The buffet selection was very limited. All in all, there were less than 15 dishes, which included dessert. Although, we had specially requested for this restaurant particularly for its rice paddy field view, but we would suggest that you try the lunch at Lake Bratan because we had a peep at the restaurant while we were touring the place, it looked promising.

 

3. Babi Guling

 

Babi Guling means roasted pork. However, it was nothing like the Hong Kong style roasted pork. The soup was quite spicy and the meat was in strips with a piece of roasted pork skin covering the top of the meat when it was served. Overall, the taste was pretty delicious but we prefer the Chinese style roasted pork that we had tried a couple of years ago in Hong Kong.

 



4. Ayam Betutu

We love hot spicy food, eating chilli padi is no "biggy" but this Ayam Betutu (spicy chicken) was way...too hot for all of us. If one chilli sign means hot, I would rate it a 5! There was only one person who ate it and still proclaimed it was yummy, it wasn't me!
Anyhow, it was worth trying or else we would never know how spicy it was. However, if you can not take spicy food, you can order fried chicken or Soto Ayam (chicken soup) from the same restaurant.

DINNERS

1. Ayam Bakar

This restaurant had split levels. We sat on the ground level initially but moved up to level 2 because of a group of smokers, smoking up the place. For that reason, we found out that on level 2, we had to sit on hardwood ground like the Japanese rather than on a chair. Neat.

Ayam Bakar is barbecued chicken marinated with lots of spices, but not spicy hot. The chicken tasted juicy and the spices worked wonder on the tender chicken meat. Besides the Ayam Bakar, we also love the taste of the stir-fry vegetable, "kangKong". 

 

2. Chinese Cuisine - Golden Palace

 

So much of local spicy food, this Chinese cuisine had given our taste buds a good twist. There were five dishes plus a big bowl of soup for four of us. It was the perfect amount of food for our energy replenishment, which had been drained totally during the day.

 

3. Barbecued seafood

 

The Barbecued seafood dinner consisted of a fish that had been split into 2, 2 pieces of shrimps, 2 clams and 2 sticks of satay squid on the plate. It was not enough for us, so we had ordered another plate of Barbecued Chicken to share. It cost Rp 85,000.

 

Although, the food was not appealing but the ambient of this romantic dinner by the beach, watching beautiful sunset had made it up. My older boy said that he would choose this place to propose to his girlfriend. We all thought it was a great idea only if we are invited! LOL.
