Anyeong Noona

"Cause maybe someday, we'll figure all this out. We'll put an end to all our doubt."

Anyeong from Bali! Noona is currently reliving its Balinese experience from her humble bode in Singapore where she lives the reality of her life. Hahaha. Haiz, the pressure of life makes her having a pain in her stomach now (wait, maybe it's the period not the life per se). Back then, Dongsaeng has spent a lot of quality time with his best pal (literally spent the whole night until morning Noona tell you) and the best pal suggested him to try Eat Well. Eat Well is located in the hipster area of Seminyak and we managed to eat here at our last night in Bali.

Eat Well is located at: 

"All I know I love you so, so much that it hurts."

 It was kinda sucks when you have a crush on someone but the feeling is only one-sided. You can't help but feeling like you want to give up eventually. In times like this, Noona thinks it's best to just think of what you like doing the most other than crushing your crush (oops, let's not resort into violence here despite the frustration. Hahaha).

*looking for zen mode"

Noona just realised she has not finished putting up her Bali's travelogue. Right, where were we? Oh right Noona and her famz are about to have a late breakfast/ early lunch at Warung D'Sawah Bali.

Anyeong! It is soon gonna be the day where the attached is busy spending money for the loved one while the single is reminded of their singlehood status, yep, the V-day. If you are not interested in the day itself, how about planning for a trip instead? Noona herself has been wondering if she should go for another short trip (like a week-kind of a trip) but for now, let's just reminisce the good ol' time in Bali while saving up money for the next trip.

If you have the chance to go to Bali, you should never miss out the chance to dine on the beach. Jimbaran beach is famous for this dining experience and once should not go to Bali without experiencing this activity at least once in their trip. The famous restaurant to go to for this kind of activity is usually Menega Cafe but our driver insisted us to try New Moon Cafe. Probably because he earns commission from this cafe instead of Menega. 

We would not be able to last that long while chatting if we did not order a fresh young coconut. Sweet and refreshing indeed. 
Some buskers came to our table to perform a song (with hope that we pay them money, of course) and since they are able to perform Coldplay's Fix You (despite some key errors), we gave them token of appreciation for their attempt. Kinda make me can't wait about watching Coldplay in this coming April. Yeah!

Anyeong! Noona just had an amazing peking duck dish from the last CNY lunch which was sponsored by big boss, thankfully! Talking about ducks, do you know that Bali has a lot of yummy duck restaurant especially in Ubud area? Ubud is an area in Bali where you can enjoy the view of rice field, which is something different from the usual beach and ocean vibe of Bali island. It's 1.5 hours driving from Kuta but if you love to see a lot of green terraces, you may love Ubud.

After 30 minutes of waiting, our crispy duck set is finally here. Nothing fancy about the set to be honest. A piece of crispy duck, some veggie, crackers, the awesome Balinese sauce and a plate of white rice. Bebek Joni's crispy duck has a nice crispy texture to it and it tastes great with the chili sauce although personally Noona prefers the three types of sauces offered by its competitor, Bebek Tepi Sawah. It's a matter of preference really. 

Anyeong! Wishing you all a happy 2017. How have the first two days of the year 2017 for you? Noona started the year by worrying about the future because oh well, the last day of the years is always filled with self reflection of what you have achieved and have not achieved in the year 2016. And you cannot help but feeling dejected for those unachieved goals, even thinking if these goals are ever gonna be achieved in this lifetime. In time of emo-ing like this, it's best to listen to the words of God and oh boy, we are not alone in this world since a lot of great characters in the Bible have experienced the same thing. Words of encouragement can be found in Hebrews 6: 9-15:

Better Things For You

"But, beloved, we are convinced of better things concerning you, and things that accompany salvation, though we are speaking in this way. For God is not unjust so as to forget your work and the love which you have shown toward His name, in having ministered and in still ministering to the saints. And we desire that each one of you show the same diligence so as to realize the full assurance of hope until the end, so that you will not be sluggish, but imitators of those who through faith and patience inherit the promises. For when God made the promise to Abraham, since He could swear by no one greater, He swore by Himself, saying, "I WILL SURELY BLESS YOU AND I WILL SURELY MULTIPLY YOU." And so, having patiently waited, he obtained the promise."

Woots, long start but since we are going into faith and patience mode to see good things happen in our life in 2017, how about started with some travel stories? Haha. Continuing on Noona's post about the awesome beach club named El Kabron in Uluwatu, Noona and her family had finally decided that they slacked long enough without doing anything so they started rumbling for the...MENU.

El Kabron Spanish Restaurant is located at:

  Jln Pantai Cemongkak, Pecatu, Kuta Selatan  

  Opening hours:

11.30AM - 11.30PM Daily

Anyeong! What day is it today? Please don't tell Noona that it's already 2017. 

*taking phone*

Oh, it's the last Friday of 2016, which also means this is the last day Noona taking leave in the year 2016. Yikes. She can hear the calling of the paperwork from her office far far away *shudder*. To run away from reality, why don't we continue our flashback to Bali trip again? LOL. If you have not known by now, Balinese love to eat dishes which use pork as its meat base. So it's not surprising that there are a lot of restaurants selling pork ribs in this lovely island in Indonesia. But since there are so many selection, which one is the best? In order to find out more about the pork ribs competition in Bali, we tried to dig information from Wayan-ssi, our driver for the whole trip and he is even aware of the movement of good pork ribs chef from one restaurant to another. Since he sounds very convinced, we followed his recommendation to try out pork ribs at Iiga Warung. 

Anyeong! Noona is in her last break of the year 2016 and oh boy, she feels way rounder now. She should have gone to the gym today but it is the time of the month and well...instead of making the cramp worse, let's just stay at home and blog about her fun trip to the cliff restaurant in Bali, El Kabron.

Bali has everything to offer for tourists with different range of budget. This time, Noona and her family are ready to eat like peasants for the remaining days in December to try the high socialite's travelling style in Bali by visiting the posh El Kabron Spanish Restaurant & Cliff Club. What's so special about El Kabron?

Did Noona say that the swimming pool is designed kinda like an infinity pool? El Kabron is designed and constructed on top of a cliff facing the deep blue sea. A lot of diners are using the opportunity to get sun tan here at the pool area.
