Naughty Nuri's

Meat lovers! listen up!

i've found the tastiest rib, and it's cheap.

this delicacy is hidden in a small street stand in Ubud.

and it's name, Naughty Nuri's...
love everything about this place.

the smell, the decor, the wooden furniture..

nothing pretentious.

menu on the wall

all kinda sauces and spices
yes, the rib.

so juicy and tender,

one order enough for two.

Lalucciola

Sitting on the best spot of Kuta beach,

Lalucciola is a place for enjoying italian food with great ocean view

looking out from the restaurant lobby,

coconut palm and the beach
view from the 2nd floor
forgot what this is... coconut or lemonade?
fried tiny potato babies
chicken & mushroom risotto
too bad it was cloudy that day,
the view would've been amazing if it was sunny.

The Elysian

Welcome to the Elysian,

among one of the many boutique villas in Seminyak

open air lobby,

wonder what happen when the storm comes?

refreshment & snack upon arrivalthe bar & the restaurent
hot couple by the pool

Please find inner peace before entering the villa

Here is the villa, and yes, of course, with a private pool
spacious living room
no beautiful flower, no beautiful living room
the bedroom

a very chic but NOT practical bathroom,

it took us over 2 hrs to have an inch of water in the tub,

then finally gave up.

the water pressure was too low and the tub leaked!

every morning, breakfast by the public pool.
every afternoon, complimentary hot tea n chocolate delivered to our villa.
footnote: i like the simple n clean design of this boutique villas hotel, and we had the best lomi lomi message there. yet, it's not as close to the beach as it suggests, and the service wasn't as well as others. Also, i saw frogs!

Komaneka Resort at Tanggayuda

My first ever villa experience.

Komaneka is located in the heart of mystical Ubud.

When u arrive, u'll feel a bit lighter.

What u get is serenity.

refreshment upon arrival
the lobby, no fancy design, just plain lovely
during our stay, we saw more staffs than resort guests,
that's where the great service and "pampering" comes from.
the pool in the valley
key to the sweet villa
the Villa
never too many rose petal
u can try lie here with the ants, not me
looking out from the comfy king size bed
in room breakfast! oh, i felt like a queen.
private pool, overlooking the valley
great place to get ur butt naked
the restaurant
Balinese shrimp cracker as complimentary appetizer
SPA & Jacuzzi

footnote: at night, the tiny frogs run freely in the resort,

not to mention geckos & moths,

if you don't get freaked out by these tiny creatures like i do,

this is the perfect choice when visiting Ubud.
