Bali - taste


We had a very deep sleep (you know the kind of sleep that you feel all your bones have sunk into the mattress?) and woke up to a glorious Bali morning!


After much of a struggle, we dragged our reluctant son out of bed (btw, if anyone knows of an effective and pain free way to wake a teenager up in the morning, please write a book about it :) I was curious to verify if the breakfast is really 'out of this world' as everyone had attested to. The set up of Boneka restauarnt has a separate kitchen/buffet area, cheery relaxing dining room and an outdoor terrace, all surrounded by infinity fountains overlooking the hotel ground.



As soon as we settled at our table, there are cheerful servers parading around offering you their fine delicacies du jour and freshly baked pastries. Of course, you can also order from the endless selection on their menu or choose from the cook-to-order buffet area, but why walk when you have everything being brought to your table? Hehe, that's why I got punished with this supersize tummy :) Now, hope you are hungry cause there's a lot of food coming up .....

The vitamin drinks - fresh fruit smoothies, the passion fruit is heavenly!

My favourite - eggs benedict


sausage and potato cake

fresh tuna sashimi

Indonesian rice porridge

assorted dim sum


Indonesian homecooked specialty - personally prepared by the hostess
lobster omelette
American steak and eggsmie goreng
nasi goreng

fresh fruit crepes

whipped cream waffles

my son's craving for a good ol' chocolate donut

Hehe, we were not that greedy, these were different dishes that we tried over the entire stay. Of course, our growing teenager was not satisfied with just a small breakfast like this, lucky there is a delicatessan inside the hotel serving heavenly pastries and fresh sandwiches to keep his stomach happy between meals.

Gourmand Deli
their cutom order cakes and fine chocolates are absolutely irresistable! there is even a chocolate fountain with fresh strawberries for hotel guests to enjoy.
fresh natural gelato pastrami sandwich

This chocolate cake and cafe latte were sinfully rich! There are jars of these fresh chocolate chips cookies for customers to munch on :)


Yes I hear you, what kind of trip journal is that without any famous sightseeing spots. That'll be next, my Bali - sight ......

jaime said...

Hi Hi newbie,

Yeah, let;s explore the Asian paradise first. Jeju is on my list too! El Nido looks beautiful, how do you get there from Manila? Have fun!

hehe, now i'm wondering why on earth bali was never on my list of places to go... (yea, i know, i know, practically every other singaporean has stepped foot on bali at one point or another!)

so it's not just sun, sea, sand and heat and more heat?!

the food looks great! love nasi goreng!

jaime said...

Hehe princess,

I can understand the sun, beach, sea and especially the heat would not pose any attraction to you. Only for people coming from frigid places like me would go gaga over it. Come to think of it, I think Yong Joon, other than work, never really flocks to the beach every vacation chance that he gets. Maybe he is a 'cold' kind of guy too :)

love ... jaime
