4D3N Bali Trip: El Kabron Spanish Restaurant & Beach Club, Uluwatu Part 3
Anyeong! Do you guys feel happy that it's already midweek of January? Noona, for once, feels so excited because she can't wait for January to end, this month feels like a very loooooooooonnnnnnnggggggggg month with all the crazy workload and the expectation to slave in the office. U_U.
Noona just wanted to chill and relax like what she did back then in El Kabron Spanish Restaurant & Beach Club in Uluwatu, Bali. The restaurant/ beach club is built on top of the cliffs facing the ocean. Perfect place to relax indeed even though the sun can be a tad too hot (if you like sun-tanning, that would be no problem at all). Do note that you have to pay something like "entrance fee" (which amount can be used to settle the bill for the food and beverages) if you want to laze at this swimming pool area. More info about the pricing in Noona's previous post on El Kabron.
We had already lazed around for a good two hours before we started to get bored and feel to refresh ourselves with some cocktails (mocktails for some) and tapas. Since most of them ordered the boring orange color cocktails (the ingredients for the drinks are interesting, it's just that they have the same color which does not help Noona's photographic and showing off habit. LOL). From left to right, here are Banana Squeeze, Blue Ocean, and San Fransisco (orange juice, pineapple juice, lychee juice topped up with soda).
Noona's order, the bluish mocktail named Blue Ocean is actually composed of fresh lychee, fresh orange, lime juice, blue curacao syrup topped up with Sprite. It basically a drink full of sugar but it tastes refreshing under the hot sun.
Dongsaeng's drink, the Banana Squeeze, looks healthier in a glance because it's supposedly made from fresh banana, ginger and fresh orange. Noona was quite surprised dongsaeng did not go for another alcoholic beverages after the champagne.
Omma's choice of drink, the San Fransisco, looks so fancy in presentation. It is made from orange juice, pineapple juice, lychee juice topped up with soda.
After a few sips of our mocktails, the weather turned for the worst and the rain chased all of us to the restaurant because the swimming pool area is not sheltered. Since we were already sitting inside the restaurant, we decided to use the remaining value left in our entrance voucher to order some food. In fact, we just had enough value to order two dishes, first is the grilled squid, which taste pretty awesome both in taste and in presentation.
Since there are a number of us, we ordered a big plate of Spanish paella. The funny thing is that was the first time some of us tried paella, the Spanish version of fried rice. Turns out Noona's two aunts are not used to the texture of rice used for paella which Noona believes supposed to be a tad gooey compared to Indonesian version of fried rice. They even said something along the line that the rice was not cooked very well. LOL. Hope the chef never heard that.
