Then another dog came.
This bad ass black dog shoo-ed the timid brown dog away. See the brown dog looking for afar? Kesian..

I love Bali Guling!
But my favourite suckling pork is still those at Elcerdo, Changkat Bukit Bintang. Angel K, I pity u, u don't know what you are missing by giving up pork :P


After a sumptuous Bali Guling, we visited Puri Saren Agung (Water Palace).

[ Wikitravel Puri Saren Agung (Royal Palace, Water Palace), (across Jl Raya Ubud from Ubud Market). 9AM-5PM daily. This was the palace of the kings of Ubud until the 1940s, and some royal descendants live there to this day.]

My shopping :) from Ubud market. <3

After Ubud, we took about an hour ride to our next hotel, Alam Asmara @ Candidasa

Candidasa if a bit off from the busy Kuta and Ubud.  
The only reason that we are shifting to Candidasa is because it is nearer to our dive sites at Tulamben and Nusa Penida. See Bali map here. Otherwise, we will be traveling 2 hours to and fro to our diving spots everyday.

Menu

Nasi Rame [RP48,000 = RM17]
Not bad but I beh tahan the sesame rice. It's like eating rice pulp

IMG_7233
Pepes ikan [RP40,000 = RM14]
I find that all the restaurants in Bali serves very small serving of rice. Rice very expensive here meh?

IMG_7264
This is our complimentary cake, so sweet of the hotel. :)
It's a damn good chocolate cake, we ate half and finish the other half the following day! LOL..

Bali stuff on sale

 
Bali Handmade Beach Dress

I totally love <3 this dress. It's a great match with a bikini for the beach :D

IMG_8008
[RM59, not inclusive of bikini and the banana's skin]

It comes with this wooden thingy for you to tie the knot at the side or in the middle.
The material is so light and compact (but it's good quality) that it really save you luggage space and weight when u go for your vacation. Bear in mind that Airasia is limiting hand-carried luggage at 7kg and additional weights on your check-in luggage can costs you more than the air ticket itself.

IMG_7151
This same dress is selling at 215,000rp (approx RM77) at a shop in Ubud and I am selling it cheaper though I hauled it ALL THE WAY back from Bali. It's super good deal right?
More designs and colors:

Why I love Bali ♥

1. Fantastic live bands and nightlife

IMG_6658
Me in front of vi ai pi club (pronounced as VIP). It's two-storey with really nice and loud live band at night.
This street is full of pubs and is really happening at night.

2. Their avocado drink and salad is awesome and cheap!

IMG_7887

3. A diving paradise - They have manta rays, sunfish aka mola-mola and and a nice WW2 wreck dive (Liberty Wreck). Their fishes are very friendly too as they swim really close to you.

IMG_7420
That's me in the orange fins & a school of Jack fish. It should be enough fishes for me to eat for a few lives.

4. Value-for-money hotels.
We stayed at Alam Asmara and Adi Dharma and they are among the best hotels that I have stayed so far.

Too romantic...I was like oooohhhhhhhhhh when I saw it.

Our toilet @ Alam Asmara
The flowers on the basin are just too pretty and I felt really guilty when I had to flush them away.

IMG_7196
Don't you think that Jasmine flower is lovely?
I love the two little glass bottles of Jasmine shampoo and conditioner. I finished the shampoo & conditioner and dunno what to do with the nice empty bottles.

I copied this photo somewhere cause the photos that I took sucks. Hmm..wondering where all the people gone in this photo. When we were there, there were maybe more than a hundred people lazing on the beach, some topless and probably another hundred surfers surfing at the mad wave. As we were walking along the beach, I feared that the wave is just gonna swept Roy and he can't swim! This reminds me of Shirley & Angel's near death experience back at our Phuket holiday more than a decade ago. We were just playing at shallow water, maybe knee level when one mad unexpected wave just came and swept everyone apart and pull u gals out to the sea. As for myself, fortunately I was swept snowball-style like a ragged doll back to the beach. Luckily, I was not wearing bikinis cause my normal swim suit also almost fell off. :P

6. Feels good to wear bikini and sundress all day long :D cuz..
  • I can go for a swim anytime I want! as Kuta beach is just a stonethrow away from our hotel and the happening area
  • Can try on clothes anywhere anytime, at the rdside stall, etc.
  • Their weather is damn hot & humid even at night
  • It feels and looks odd to wear one back here.

7.Cheap Japanese

IMG_7825
This Japanese set lunch is only for 50,000rp (RM18) This is even better than Mcvalue price. Guarantee cannot find this cheap in KL

Japanese Restaurant Fukutaro

Do you know how to eat sushi the correct way?
IMG_7810
Hmm...I tried with the chopstick but the sashimi will fall off when it is hold in that position.

8. Great for sunbathing

IMG_7851
These pink sun chairs and me is love at first sight. ♥ I almost squeal in excitement when I spotted this chair at the beach. LOL..

IMG_7845
The cushion has coke logo and it's red, double love

While I am trying to enjoy myself at the beach, Roy keeps pestering me to take his photo, so he got what he wants >>>

9. Great for surfing

IMG_7875

Surfing is so hard :(, I rented this bodyboard and could never catch the wave though been trying relentlessly for at least an hour in the cruel wave. After I am done with the surfing, I was so panicked cause I couldn't find Roy and I don't even recognise that part of the beach! After searching for at least 15 minutes, I realised that I have drifted at least 500 m away from where I started. LOL..

10. Babi Guling
