For an overall introduction see the main Bali food page.
You know that feeling you get some afternoons, you’ve had lunch, grilled fish & rice with a piece of cucumber. Its good, but you need that dairy fix. This afternoon I had that feeling and stopped into Cafe Moka Seminyak, a place I haven’t been for ages. The staff all said hello and asked me ‘Baru Datang?’(just arrived?). They said it was quiet without me, which was nice.

Krispy Kreme, the doughnut that cracked marketing in the US, will be opening up in Indonesia soon. There are 20 stores planned and my guess is at least 1 or 2 will be in the Kuta area. Here’s more form the Jakarta Post.

One might say ‘Bintang’ when asked what a Balinese drink is, but its not really. Traditional Balinese drinks include kopyor (coconut water) which is served with chunks of the fresh meat. Air jeruk is the juice of an orange, usually the small green skinned ones you’ll see in a lcoal market. Sugar will probably be added, so you’ll have to tell them beforehand if you don’t want it super sweet. Air jeruk can be served panas (hot) or cold with es jeruk (ice).

There is just that little something that makes Indonesian omelettes so deliciously appetising. I have always been a great lover of eggs and so naturally I am a great devourer of any kind of Indonesian omelette.

Javanese cuisine originates from the island of Java. My wife Ika originates from there too, and it was from her I dug out some nuggets of info about the cuisine of Java.

Bali is situated in the tropics and as so is a petri-dish for bacteria. People get their water either piped, in the city, from a well, or from a stream. Should you drink the tap water in Bali?

Lonely Planet has such a reputation that many small business owners in Bali feel its make or break to get included. I reckon providing a good service is more important than pleasing LP, but being recommended doesn’t hurt. I know the owner of Secret Garden, on Poppies Lane I in Kuta, and he was not happy when LP’s guide to Bali ommitted everyone but Poppies Restaurant on that street.

One of my favourite places to obtain bakso Mie in Yogyakarta was Bakso Itu but unfortunately it has closed down. 'Meatballs with spaghetti in water' was one description I heard from an obviously ignorant traveller.
