Bali, the island of gods.

Well, since January is dedicated to Katsudon, a japanese delicacy, then February can be dedicated to a dish that internationally available.

But since we haven't reach the month of February, let me just give you a hint through my 2009 journey in Bali.

I had this very cheap flight from Singapore to Bali and boy, how I got "cheated". I suppose to arrive in Bali in Monday afternoon and leave in Wednesday evening. Then it got reversed. I took off late in Monday evening and arrive when the sky is dark. Then I leave Bali in Wednesday morning. It essentially makes my 3 days trip only have 24 hours in between.

Nevertheless, it's quite enjoyable trip and I'll be back soon. I had my extra late dinner in Mini Restaurant. They serve great seafood.

MINI Restaurant

It's a place with a wonderful atmosphere in Jalan Legian, just a stone throw away from Kuta Memorial monument.

Tuesday was a blast! Lunch in some mall in the city, got reaaal duped with the calamari. They had so little of it for about SGD2. And yeah, being a stinger, the lonely planet was loaned from the library. But if you see those lonely planets in the library, you can actually see that people do bring them around to the destination place.

It was Awesome! A long ride to Tanah Lot

Nice, eh? Tanah Lot Temple.

With a nice sunset moments in Uluwatu. It's heavenly.

Pre-sunset Uluwatu. This is the only pic taken by others. The rest are self-taken.

Uluwatu was my favorite place. It's simply majestic to see the ocean from the rock.

Yeah, it's that high!

Dinner at Cak Asmo. A tiny restaurant located near university. The best thing is? They charge student price!

And finally, the day is wrapped by a darn nice burger that makes the whole trip worth it.
Duuude. The best burger I've had in my life!

So let me end this post with the highlight of my trip. This probably the picture, the only picture that really worth the whole trip down there. Nearly 13 hours of adventuring, out of gas, got broke down once, have a severe sunburn... I present you:

These are the digested and digestible photos of my trip to Bali. The menu of February will be the dish that appear and re-appear in the photos.

You can guess it don't you?

Discern, and digest!
