Ubud - food haven >> Bali 04

Had a very horrible night. 8(

Between the dogs’ demonic barking and howling and the noise from the non-stop traffic, we hardly slept at all! So we had no choice but to move out of Candra Asri Bungalows.

Nick’s Pension, in contrast, was very tranquil and comfy.

After checking in, we took off again - in search of food, what else? :p

We had brunch at Casa Luna, listed in some guide books as one of Ubud’s top choices. I guess one of the draws is its creative international menu.

J had a potato dish while I ordered tofu, done Mediterranean style. The potato came in crispy strips woven into a basket to hold a very yummy mountain of veg doused with a zesty vinaigrette, which tasted of balsamic vinegar. My tofu dish was, likewise, intriguing. I popped a square of the baked concoction into my mouth and my eyes widened. Hmm… it was unexpectedly rich as the tofu had been mashed and mixed with a heady blend of rich, melty, cheese and creamy spinach.

Oh, we also tried tumeric juice, which is supposed to cleanse our internal plumbing, but the taste sure takes some getting use to! ^_^

Dinner was at Bumbu Bali 2, which served delicious Balinese fare. We both ordered rijsttafel, a Dutch adaptation of an Indonesian banquet comprising a wide variety of dishes. After a most satisfying dinner, we strolled around town before heading back to catch up on our beauty sleep…
