Nikko Hotel Bali


We stayed in Nikko Hotel Nusa Dua at the end of our Bali trip. 2 nights in the biggest most expansive hotel i have ever stayed in. The facilities here are amazing, heaps of lagoon pools at different depths, spas and jacuzzis peppered around the manicured grounds, the hotel's own private beach. It was amazing. I have never stayed in a hotel like this. This is definitely one of those hotels where you check in and have no need to go out until you check out. A great hotel i would recommend to anyone... i also love their toiletries.. they smell like jasmine with green tea.. lush!!! i definitely stole toiletries to take home... heheh.... [something i normally dont do unless i really really like the stuff]


We had a buffet breakfast every morning, great selection of western and asian foods. This was my fruit platter - loved the rambutan and snake fruit. Asian fruits are so exotic and different.


My indonesian soto mie - was ok, hawker stuff in jakarta is better. Cant expect much from a hotel.


my chinese rice porridge, i like to eat this if it's available, there's something moorish about it.
plain rice gruel, with a yummy range of condiments, normally coriander, fried dough, sesame oil, chicken, soy sauce, spring onions.

was absolutely full after breakfast... oh to eat like this everyday for breakfast.

Grilled seafood Jimbaran beach


The best place to eat seafood in Bali has to be Jimbaran. Along Jimbaram beach, there's a long row of barbeque seafood restaurants, that are pretty much identical in menu and price. The special for this area is the fresh grilled seafood, everything is seasoned and marinated the same way. So it really doesn't matter which restaurant you end up in, it's all going to taste the same.

The bali/jimabaran seasoning is combination of chilli, tomatos, onions, garlic and other herbs, they grind it up into a paste and spread it generously all over the seafood before it's grilled over a coal fire.

It is absolutely delicious and not that spicey at all.. but you definitely have to use your hands!



Above is our extra side order of yabbies in jimbaran sauce... very yummy, but yabbies dont have a lot of meat. booo...


Above is our seafood platter with pipis, fish, squid, prawns, tuna, scallops with a side of chips and sambal kang kong. As yummy as it was, this meal did not come cheap... it ended up being about aud $80-$100.

ps: sorry for the confusing fonts... i could not change the first font... still haven't got used to blogger yet.. hehehe...
