Apologies from the long absence.

Have been meaning to blog sooner. I couldn’t cause I was trotting the world for more food. Nah, I’m just trying to look for an excuse for myself.

Food in Bali

Just a quick recap..

My best friend and I were in Bali for 5 blissful days. Besides the clear waters and the luscious blue skies, one of the most enjoyable meals was at Sate Bali.

It’s actually one of the very few Balinese food that we had. I read about Sate Bali from a travel magazine. I can’t recall which, it should be DestinAsian. We headed there for a late dinner after our day-excursion on the cruise to Nusa Lemborgan (Thanks again for that, best friend!).

Still reeling from the sensation of being on the rhythmic waves, we entered Sate Bali, where we were greeted by our Balinese waitress who tucked the frangipani in our hair. The place was already bustling with mostly Asian tourists; any later and we wouldn’t get a seat. We got the set because we figured it’s the best way to try a bit of everything.

First up was fish soup with coconut. I thought that I would skip this one since there was coconut. But I tried it and the taste of the coconut wasn’t strong at all, the flavour of the fish was bountiful and with that soup, it began our interesting dinner.

Many different petite sized dishes were served to us on earthen bowls and plates. The dishes were traditional Balinese food with hints of a modern touch. The stir-fried vegetables with shredded coconuts, peanuts were not bad. And I did enjoy their rendition of the satay on lemongrass. The grilled fish was nicely marinated with minced garlic, chili and parsley.

The only dishes that kept me away were the desserts. As you know, they contain a lot of coconut and so I avoided them like plague, with the exception of the fried banana fritters which reminded me of my childhood.

Overall, it was a perfect place with the perfect food and perfect company. We headed to Hu’u Bar after that and enjoyed a night filled with many drinks and conversations that would probably stay in our minds for a very long time.
