Pink Beetroot Latte (IDR35k) & Mango Pineapple Smoothie Bowl (IDR65k)

This is definitely an uprising cafe in Bali's lists of cafe to visit... It was just across the street from our hotel so we popped by for breakfast.

I've got to admit I ordered this because it was beautifully pink - it's not very often you see coffee in such colour.. It tastes horrible though, the beetroot that created the pink is so pungent I just cannot take it. On a positive note, if you love beetroot this is the right drink for you! But don't be like me if you dislike beetroot. It is seriously not drinkable at all.

Likes: Beautiful, very instagram/picture worthy place, reasonable price, great selection

Dislikes: Lots of flies in the cafe, don't see any effort to keep them away

Red - Rosella cream, beetroot cake, watermelon, dragon fruit, strawberry

Red, literally invites everything "red" on the plate. This is the mildest dessert of all, that is why it's also the starter. P/S: I never thought beetroot cake is THAT good?! The cake is so fluffy and light like a pink sponge with a hint of beetroot, which is really easy to consume! Surprise, surprise, coming from a person who dislikes beetroot.

Pandanbert - Pandan panna cotta, salak ice, kacang hijau, pear

This idea came from Camembert cheese... The round container is made out of pandan leaves, the panna cotta has a nice pandan aroma and I actually prefer it without the mung bean. The mung bean is overpowering the pandan flavour of the pudding so I thought it's nicer and more refreshing without it. And no there is no cheese in this dessert... 

White Chocolate, Black Heart - Cocoa butter cake, tamarind, kemangi sorbet, injin meringue

This is one confusing plate but it balances really well - a mixture of strong flavours and subtle sourish and anything with meringue hardly disappoints.

Taro Card - Taro Pudding, toasted coconut gelato, jackfruit, soy meringue

The jackfruit cake is lightly torched for the roasted flavour, topped with a scoop of milky coconut ice cream (it's not the regular light coconut ice cream), served with passionfruit for the sourish taste and topped with coconut flakes. A combi between coconut and jackfruit creates a very tropical feel and taste.

The Sugar Refinery - Coconut nectar chantilly, chocolate toblerone, soursop, Balinese meringue

This is also another confusing dish. It has chocolate and it's sour. Creamy, chocolate, and sourish from the soursop sorbet. I really like the meringue, it says Balinese meringue and has this light unique taste...

Gingerbread Man - Sorghum pain d'epice, passion fruit curd, crackjerjack, long pepper

It's basically a different way of serving gingerbread with a texture of a cake. I never like gingerbread to begin with so this is probably my least favourite of all. Don't get me wrong, it's actually very good and that's why I ate more than usual - I usually won't take more than a scoop as I prefer ginger to go with savoury dishes more than desserts!

Ghostface Keller - Doughnut, Reblochon cream, papaya, apple tatin, cocoa nibs

The ghostface was my favourite for the night... It was the one with the most unique taste. The white stuff on the doughnut is cheese. The cheese may have a cream cheese texture but no it tastes nothing as good as cream cheese, it's like eating rotten cream cheese. But if you eat it together with the papaya and apple tatin, the odd taste is covered. It creates whole different taste, it makes this doughnut so heavenly - the combi of sweet, savoury with a creamy touch is there. OMG I could have this all day!!!!!!!

Caramel Tea Brulee - Caramel, black tea, cardamom, sea salt

Very nice brulee texture with a hint of tea, cardamom and salt. I've had foie gras brulee before, I'm sure I can handle this one!

Season 6 Finale - every dish is carefully prepared and they are all too beautiful to eat!!

Menu changes every 6 months...

Don't let the entrance yet to you - it looks like a factory but it's more than just a factory!

Likes: Very creative "fine dining" desserts to substitute a full fledged meal, friendly service, creative cocktails, cocktail pairing available 

Dislikes: I can't think of anything that I do not like here - everything's too fine, from food to friendly service! Perhaps the only downside is the location... You'll have to travel all the way to Ubud for it!

The beautiful Fat Chow on the way to Uluwatu.

We noticed this from the cab so we decided to pop by for dinner. It's almost 30 minutes by car from our hotel near Blue Point.

It's located right next to the famous Jimbaran iiga Warung. We actually ate at iiga first before Fat Chow.

It looks like a very beautiful place during the day, and not much at night. The food they offer leans towards Chinese, with a hint of Balinese. I once had lunch at Fat Chow Kuta, and they serve Bakso. I was looking forward for it but sadly they don't serve it here.

Sweet Martabak (42k)

The menu looks different from the one in Kuta, or they have already changed their menu? Not sure... But this is what they serve in Jimbaran!

I was wondering why would people order this bowl of fruity stuff. I would go down to one of the Warungs instead! No way I'm having this.

But I was wrong! Nalu Bowls is the PERFECT bowl when you're feeling hungry and hot! We walked all the way down, then all the way back up and we were desperate to have something cold.

Pipeline (IDR55k) + Dragon Fruit (3k) - USD4.50

Banana * Pineapple * Mango * Coconut * Coconut Milk * Coconut Water * Dragon Fruit

Healthier version of Pina Colada

Uluwatu (65k) - USD5

Dragon Fruit * Banana * Papaya * Raspberry * Apple Juice

With that hot weather, this is such a life saving bowl! Well, to be fair we had crappy breakfast at the hotel so this bowl made up for it. The view came along with it! Becareful of bees though, it is so delicious that even bees are attracted to it!

This little fruit bar is located at Single Fin Bar, Blue Point. You won't miss it as it is right at the entrance! You may be a You may be a little skeptical like me too - why waste calories like but trust me. This bowl is really refreshing, I wished I had not eaten hotel's breakfast instead (it's pretty crap food). Enjoy your fruity bowl!
