"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 a restaurant specialising in steak. It especially offers a lot of pork meat from ribs to steak to burger. But you don't have to suck thumb if you don't really like to eat pork because Eat Well also has alternatives to the non pork-eater fellas such as lamb, fish, beef and chicken.

Food Menu from Eat Well at Seminyak Bali

Cousin has been complaining about not eating enough greens but the Garden Salad served at Eat Well does not seem to be healthy in the slightest because it is served with crispy bacon and yummy BBQ sauce. At least, cousin did get to eat her fresh greens before the whole thing is condemned under the sauce and crispy bacon. Hahaha.

Dongsaeng obviously does not give a care in the world about the greens and went straight to the crispy pork belly. Noona wonders where do the fats from all these food go into his body because he is so bloody skinny for goodness sake. The sauce for the pork belly is so good by the way.

Not satisfied by meat alone, Dongsaeng also insisted that we should order the butter rice too. It does taste good when you eat the crispy pork belly together with the rice to be honest with you.

The aunties were a bit sick of eating pork because it seems that our foodie adventure in Bali has been involving a lot of pork meats (the Balinese cook awesome pork dishes, mind you). So we ordered grilled chicken for them. It's served with two kind of sauce, once is spinach mayo and the other one is ranch sauce. Grilled chicken taste okay.

Oh wait, apparently all dishes here come together with the spinach mayo and ranch sauce. Here is the pork ribs. While the pork ribs taste not bad, Noona still prefers the one cooked by Iiga Warung.

Last but not least, Omma wanted some fish. Okay omma, anything to please you but obviously the fish gonna taste so so. Hahaha.

BREAKING NEWS: The anti-social Noona just went for her first (and probably last) date with a real man in 2017. It has been while and Noona has to admit she was a bit rustic and nervous at the same time and hence, kept on blabbing both really serious topic and nonsense. Hopefully the man does not mind. Hahaha.

Okay, that's all. Let's see where this goes.

Back to reality: Noona's bae has been raving on and on about Angelita, a cake shop in Seminyak. To be honest, Noona did not include this in her initial foodie itinerary in Bali because well... cakes are just cakes, no? But bae insisted that the cakes here are so good so that Noona decided to visit Angelita during her visit.

First impression, Angelita is really the place for ladies to chill because of the whole tea salon atmosphere and the tiffany blue-painted walls. The waiter wears a t-shirt with creative slogan too. Hahaha.

Small details which add the girly touch to the tea salon.

We ordered some teas and cakes to enjoy our lazy afternoon before deciding where to have dinner. Yes, life in Bali is filled with good food and chilling out attitude. The lychee iced tea taste so refreshing after walking out in the Balinese heat.

My dongsaeng ordered Coffee eclairs (which makes Noona surprised because dongsaeng is not really a dessert eater). My aunt which apparently does not have any caffeine-induced insomnia issue gleefully ordered a cup of cappuccino to drink at 4PM. Crazy bunch. Noona will surely be awake until wee hours if she drinks coffee at that weird timing.

Coffee eclair is not bad but can be a bit too sweet after a few bites.

The other two cakes look similar in shape, one is filled with peach mousse while the other is chocolate ganache.

The chocolate ganache looks so dark and Noona basically has to do some lighting to make the cake's color pop out. Taste wise, Noona quite enjoys the chocolate cake. Yummy.

The peach mousse filled cake fares worse than its chocolate counterpart though. Noona did not really like this cake unfortunately.

The atmosphere at Angelita Tea Salon is nice for people to chill out for a long time. The cakes have some hits and misses but you'll be safe if you choose the chocolate-based ones. =)

Good morning! Ah Saturday~~~, the day Noona can relax and wake up naturally without having to set her alarm clock. A day that you know gonna be amazing from the start. Now, if only Noona can spend the morning walking by the beach, that would be even more awesome but let's just be grateful by what we have, shall we.

Talking about the beach, Noona has been hearing great review about W Retreat & Spa Bali in Seminyak but has never managed to book a room there as it is very difficult to book a room for 3 people in Bali (either the hotel charges exorbitant additional price or the hotel just refuse straightaway). But, our driver in Bali told us that W Retreat & Spa Bali allows visitors to view their hotel complex without having to spend the night. So here we are on an adventure (or a survey?) to W Retreat & Spa Bali.

4D3N Bali Trip: W Retreat & Spa Bali, Seminyak

Once your car making a turn to enter W, you will be welcomed by the amazingly beautiful entrance of the hotel. The grand bamboo entrance of W Retreat & Spa Bali has been featured in a lot of articles in the magazines and blogs alike. Noona thinks the background will make a superb background for pre-wedding and wedding pictures. Don't you agree? But, it is super irritating to take picture here with the background during crowded hours though because both cars and motor vehicles will keep on passing by and hence, photobombing your picture. #patiencepeople

The hotel restaurant (which Noona assumes will be the breakfast venue for hotel guests) looks very cozy from upstairs. It is a high ceiling type of restaurant. Oh right, you will not be able to order anything in W if you are not a hotel guest. The hotel staff will not chase you out though.

Let's check out the swimming pool. The atmosphere surrounding W basically screams the word "CHILL". A lot of hotel guests are spotted chilling out under the umbrella or on on top of the pink floats which also looks so damn cozy. Noona starts to get jealous at these people. Next time, maybe.

You can also make reservation to book the sunset viewing gazebo. The gazebo looks so fun with a pop of yellow, purple and red lips cushion. Noona managed to snap a fun picture here without being warned in a friendly way that this gazebo is booked. 알았어...

W Retreat & Spa Bali has a private access to the beach but we were too lazy to walk to the beach and the sun is still scorching hot at 3.30PM. #lazynoona

Room rate starts from SGD 350 per night.

Anyeong! Do you ever wonder why for a moment you want certain things and yet another moment, you kinda try to recall why you want those certain things in the first place? Noona wonders if all these mood swings are hormonal. Huh? What is she talking about? Oh well, it's definitely random topic which we should just ignore right now.

Back to the Bali trip which happened just last week, Noona kinda miss the relaxing atmosphere of walking in a street in Seminyak area, one of the popular stretch of road in Bali. The area is pretty quiet in the afternoon though.

4D3N Bali Trip: Wandering Around Seminyak Square

There are so many wall murals which you can find in Seminyak. Apparently arts are deeply embraced in Bali. There are no vandalisms spotted on the wall mural too. Good job of maintaining that, Bali citizens.

Another wall mural. By the way, if you'd like to try out Revolver, one of the popular coffee spot in Bali, you should go deep into the smaller alley here because Revolver is located here in the alley. It was under renovation last week though. Sad.

The weather kinda got into our nerves because the sun is very cruel around 1.30PM in the afternoon. So, we quickly sought shelter (with air-conditioner) at Seminyak Village. Seminyak Village is a shopping mall and it is currently decked in Christmas decoration as we are in the last month of the year already.

If you are bored at Seminyak Village, you should make your way up to level 2 (or level 3, Noona could not recall correctly) because there is a big handicraft store there which sells so many Balinese arts (both traditional and modern). You can even release your own creativity in the design process for certain items like umbrella, tote bag or purse.

Let's just ride a scooter and forget about the world...the store is pretty random Noona has to say because you can also find some household stuff here like cabinet, shelves and even sofa.
