My Thoughts

It was grey Saturday but was so ready to go on a road trip to Ubud, with few friends from work.Got my jeans,my turqoise long sleeve shirt,a shawl and another jacket. I can feel the rain is coming.Picking up the girls, we went to Soto Padang warung in front of Parkir Kuta galleria and have a hearthy soup for breakfast.hmmmm Great start! After that, we stroll through Bypass Sanur, and stopped at one silver art shop to look around..why they have to be so expensive? Anyway, they’re not really nice..too tacky for my liking.So, we move on and stopped by at Pasar Sukowati to get some art work, oleh oleh and i found a nice piece of artcloth from Sumba that i will use for my working table at work. Hmmm so much going on here, women selling articial pearl neclaces, sunglasses,hats. Rain started to pour and we decided to leave after buying few things. Head up to Ubud city, and stopped by in front of the best coffee shop tut mak and we went to silver shop. I decided to get myself a nice pair of "tear-drop" earrings…so classy! One pm and my stomach started to grumble..alright girls! time to eat something and feed the worm. I had mediteranean plate and ginger tea. hmmmmm.Bought few pieces of their famous brownie and legendary cinnamon rolls! oh soooo good i will take picture of them when i have them for breakfast

Rain hasnt stopped so we decided to leave Ubud earlier and head to town.I cant believe what i found..!  nice pair of arty farty shoes.I fell in love with them as soon as i spotted them. Anyway, we finished the trip by 6 evening and exhausted but had fun! 

I have been craving for this particular dessert and of course as persistency as i can be, i finally found them in one of the french owned delicattesen Bali Deli. They come in this leafy shape and when i bought it during the day, i told myself wait until after dinner! And I did! So carefully open the box , with a cup of tea and milk ( no sugar of course!), i slowly eat this goldly coloured shiny piece of tart and whoaaaaaaaaa…my taste buds went screaming YES!! this is it !! I just love this tart and i promised myself i will make myself one Some day .In the meantime, i will search for more hehehehehe

 Bon appetite!

I am back in Bali, a happier girl.I have been home in Padang for a week, actually it was a surprise visit that no one at home or at work knows i am coming heheheee well only my future sister in law knows and my friend aii. I flew out in the morning 8 AM with a big smile on my face, and almost bursting my eyes with tears as soon as i see the beautiful view of my hometown from the plane.Oh, i am home. Such a weird feeling that i have been away only 3 months but now its like coming back to a new place.exciting, yet its a melancholic feeling.

Great to see my mom,brother, future sister in law ( insyaallah), and my friends ! Of course, my visit is also about visiting all my favourite eating places such as Simpang Kinol in China Town, Es Durian Pulau karam, breakfast at Namyang or Nanyo, fish-head curry at Bungus beach with mom and other little secret places i know ! Here’s some pictures from my visit. Ah, home sweet yummy home!

I was invited to dinner by my very nice neighbour who also becoming my yoga buddy mrs doreen. She is a singaporean who loves food and loves to cook good food as well. I learned this recipe from her and i will try it on the little oven . Its basically like a fish cake but instead frying it, we baked them in the oven for 10-15 minutes or steam em. Here is the ingredients:

Fillet of mahi mahi or tuna ( crushed them with knive) and make them into pate

Egg

Onion/spice mix

coconut milk ( cartoon one is ok if u cant make the fresh one)

Mix all the ingredients in a bowl, mix well and give salt/pepper accordingly. Spread this on baking dish and bake for above time. Serve with rice and other asian dishes you like. We had broccoli stir fry and sweet/sour chicken.

Will post more later..at the moment this blog is in hiatus

Thanks and have a nice weekend everyone !

Holw long ago did i mentioned about how i love coffee especially when it comes with dessert, and chocolate. Anyway, last night me bubba and couple of good friends, went to Ultimo restaurant at oberoi street. This is apparently the best valuable italian restaurant.Ok, i had fettucine with tuna and anchovies for main and i had rocket salad with slices of lean beef, top with raw mushroom and pesto. Great start.Comes to dessert, i can’t hold my curiousity of the wonder panacotta cheese. This catch my attention from the dessert menu,and it comes on top of red lush rasperry. My first scoop, it was heavenly.The soury rasperry met with the sweet tender panacotta cheese that melts in your mouth…i was just in love with it. And that night, i dream about being cheese expert!

This morning has been the most peaceful morning i had with myself. I wake up feeling healthier, no problem sleeping at night time as i have been lately.

I guess the exercise got me so tired that i managed to sleep early, and woke up with fresh mind, soul and body. Decided to have early shower, and i made my way up to the kitchen, make myself nice Balinese coffee in the mug that i bought at Jenggala factory outlet, and pour some French vanilla coffee creamer and make one piece of toast. I slowly prepare my day for work and sipped on my coffee while watching my favourite TV show the Travel and Living. These guys i envy, who travel write travel story, eat and drink experienced the local place they visit and still, they got paid for it …how cool is that? But then, hey i love my job too and my life..can’t complaining but its nice to see how people can travel and work smartly like that..life to the fullest. Alright, my coffee’s finished, my toast is gone. I am ready to go to work on my mio bike. Thanks babe for your generous present. You are right. Independent is a bliss. Just like my morning today J
