Sunday Brunch at Hyatt Regency

Picture this in your mind:
- all you can eat from the most complete and delicious buffet selections including sushi.. (Value rp 125,000++)
- sparkling wine included (rp 60,000++)
- the most wanted Batak band
- free use of hotel swimming pool (value rp 75,000/pax)
- enjoy Sunday with your family in luxurious Hyatt environment (priceless)

All of the above benefits is currently priced at only, only rp 125,000nett per person! Too good to be true but its true. Try it next Sunday before Hyatt realizes that the price is wrong and I personally think they should increase the price soon.

Warung Sate Palagan

Warung Sate yang enak mostly sumpek, smokey and dark. Sate presentation is always the same everywhere, simply because there is no presentation involved.

Warung Sate Palagan comes with different concept and want to change warung sate image. A spacious restaurant with lots of parking space, has more than enough staff ready to serve you. Big sized Sate is served in a burning hot plate and peanut sauce is on another plate.. Nice.

Priced starts from rp 18,000 to rp 24,000 for imported meat..

What do you think about this restaurant?

How do people judge a good restaurant compared to the others? A hundred possible answers end up in one simple way; by comparing basic stuff..
How do the restaurant do their Nasi Goreng? Or Orange Juice. Both in taste and presentation compare to price they pay. This is not an exact calculation but more to how they 'feel' about the whole thing.
Whatever the initial score is, that will stay almost forever.. They say we can do only one time first impression.

Great your next customer like they are your loyal customer for many years and observe the result..

I am not going back to Sapi Bali anymore..

It against my diet plan. Unless if I want to forget about having a flat abs. For the second time I can't resist myself from having another bowl of rice.
The combination of rib and soup is just too good to be true, for that price! I can only think it takes them hours to boil the meat so it become that tender, and tasty..
I will go there again.. Tomorrow..

Sate plecing jl Arjuna, Bali

If you like hot food, don't miss this addictive hot Sate an Bakwan. Have to queue during lunch time and it get worse on the weekend.. Don't ask about the taste. We usually drive all the way from Jimbaran to Denpasar and back just for these little satays.. Mmhhh

Pork Ribs - Naughty Ubud Bali

A small Warung that has about 60seats but occupied at least by 100gueasts each time. We picked odd time at 3pm to go there expecting we do not have to queue, we were wrong. They don't have menus but the one written on the wall.
But I still drive from Denpasar to Ubud for one hour for the ribs..

Bebek Goreng Haji Slamet, Jalan Gejayen

Big piece of duck and spicy sambel korek.

Chinese Restaurant - Grand Quality hotel

We had our monthly arisan there at a good value-for-money dinner package. The taste of the chinese food is much influenced by Javanese or perhaps adapted to match local tongue.

Banana fritter at lobby lounge - Hyatt

The picture says it all. And its not expensive as you think of other hotel's food!

The Authentic Pizza Margarita - Kemangi

If you want to taste an authentic Pizza, come to Kemangi at Hyatt Regency. All menus were created by an Italian chef, cooked a la minute with only imported ingredients, giving you a crispy thin yummy pizza that guarantee you will be back for more..

Breakfast is your main meal

As the main source of energy to go through the day what they told me. Better to skip dinner rather than skipping breakfast the others told me.
That's what I did here.. Big one..

Iga Bakar Sapi Bali

"Iga sapi bumbu bali yang pertama didunia empuknya dijamin, rasa...surga"
that's written on the menu, and its absolutely true! (about the taste! Not sure about the first one in the world.. :)
Rp 32,000 you will get a big two-ribs steak, yet you will want more because its so yummy. It comes with a bowl of Balinese soup that compliments the great taste of the ribs... Tonight, I requested another bowl of rice, o oh that against my diet... damned ribs..

Bakmi Kadin

The name came from bakmi KArto kasiDIN, located near melia purosani hotel.
No need to explain why this place is so famous for so many years. Its a big place compared to others but always busy, it has at least 30 tables or 150seats. Rp 17,000 per portion.
If you haven't been there, you simply should.

Kepiting Dogen

If you want to make your family happy by taking them for a nice dinner without emptying your pocket, go to Kepiting Dogen at jl Palagan. My favorite is kepiting bumbu Buldog, which is so so tasty and deliciously hot. Don't forget to order roti mantau and dip it in the sauce.. Pingsan. One portion (in the picture) consists of two big crab usually enough for two person. If its not enough, blame it on the sauce..

Rp 60,000 is definitely worth what you get.

Soto pak Soleh

The location is strategic just in front of Monjali, which I think is the main selling factor. The Soto is just a soto, its not istemewa or unique. Soto priced at rp 9,000 and the meat served on the other plate is rp 9,000per piece. So you could spend rp 36,000 for soto with 3pieces of meat.
