Foodventures of Bahu Bali- Of Coconut ice creams Warungs and More


Foodventures of Bahu Bali- Of Coconut ice creams and Warungs and More

A Warung is a small café or restaurant with a limited menu, and is easier to set up than a restaurant. There are lots of them, and we went to one overlooking a rice field. They had Thai and Indian curries in a set menu. At another place, there was coconut ice cream with a twist. The coconut served as the cup- a big one, into which different ice creams were served. Have a look…while on food, Gula is the name for sugar and Merica for white pepper, Garam Kounsunsi Beriodium for iodised salt.

Batik is a print unique to Indonesia, or at least it is famous here in many forms used for wear by men and women. We also saw a very interesting performance called the Barong dance, where Good triumphs over evil, performed in a small open theatre. The artists gamely posed for pictures with the tourists at the end. 

The cup in the first pic is of the Luwak coffee, and other glasses are of exotic teas and coffees.

Adventures of Bahu Bali Part 2- Tegenungan Falls


Bali Adventures- Tegenungan Falls

I have been a fan of Jog Falls, which I have visited four to five times. Pataalpani near Indore is another interesting one. But the beauty of this fall is unique. Among lush greenery, the water jumps forth in joy, and is a joy to behold. You can go for a dip in it, and enjoy the cool waters first-hand. It is safe, and lots of people take a dip coz it’s irresistible! It is again in the Ubud area, and you can combine it with a trip to the Batuan temple, and an old palace, part of which is open to visitors. We did these three, and it was great fun.




If you can spot me in any of the pics, you get a free trip to the nearest waterfall :)
