The scene around Poppies Lane and Jalan Legian, Bali
The scene around Jalan Legian and Poppies II has definitely somewhat quiet due to the war and you can tell by the faces of the restauranteurs that they are dying for customers. There’s plenty of lovely seafood on display and places to let your hair down.
Just the other night I stepped into a place on Jalan Benesari, right off of the beach road, Jalan Pantai Kuta. It was the first restaurant on your left, with a big tv in the middle. I wanted the latest on the war so I sat and had a drink. Looking at the menu I decided to eat there and ordered grilled fish (my usual it seems). The food arrived 15 minutes later and was sensational. A big chunk of fish, rice and delicately arranged salad and vegetables, all for around 23,000rp ($2.58). I tell you, Bali is a bargain and you will get your money’s worth and more right now.
I’ve become a big fan of Yee’s soybean milk (Singapore company) and down a pint or 2 a day rather than carbonated junk. All the Circle K’s carry it. I gave this guy a BaliBlog t-shirt and he thanks me everytime I visit.

Nick, ya gotta try Yee’s Lychee drink!. It’s absolutely beautiful. Seems you are like me Nick - great lover of fish and a definitive Soybean Milk drinker. My heart is sad to see Bali slowly dying and it truly needs some good promo work (not only overseas but from the angle of the TIO over there in Bali). Are most of the tourists mostly domestic at the moment Nick?. What I did notice from your foto that they were older foreign tourists. I was watching a travel show last night on the box and they had an excerpt from their show to be broadcast next week. It was about Bali ‘now’ and this dickhead interviewing the tourists. I did notice that most of the people he spoke to were elderly.
