Bali has a million and 1 food places, that are tucked away down narrow streets. This lunchtime I rode down Jl. Mertanadi in Seminyak and spotted a new place. Jl. Mertanadi runs alongside the jail and is a virtual ‘furniture alley’.

This evening I am hoping to interview Dallas Finn, founder of Bali Peace Park, about the gay scene here in Bali (won’t that be exciting!). Dallas suggested we meet at Poser’s Pub in Legian, the location of our last interview. My thoughts were this was not an ideal location.

When I was a kid in the UK, BBC2 (the artsy channel) always offered a show called ‘Madhur Jaffrey’s Indian Cooking’. Indian food is super popular in Britain, and this week Madhur Jaffrey spoke at the Ubud Readers & Writers Festival in Ubud.

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 [...]
Seeing a few more Aussies in Bali

Ask anyone with access to the tourist arrival figures and they’ll tell you Bali’s recovery (or whatever you feel comfortable calling it), is taking its time, numbers are not where we want them. I tell you though, I see tourists, including Aussies all over town, especially Seminyak.

For the last 2 weeks, I have been hitting a little place for lunch every day.

Ocha’s, formerly Warung Roadkill, is hitting the spot right now.
