Cafe Review:- Rosso Vivo, Jalan Pantai, Kuta, Bali

 The Rosso Vivo is located just across from the Beach in Bali and so is a perfect place to rendezvous with friends in the shade with some cooling drinks or cocktails.
 As you can see they have a large selection of non-alcoholic drinks and of cocktails depending what you feel like when you visit. You can sit by the busy Jalan Pantai road and people watch and also view the pleasant swimming pool next to the Cafe/Restaurant.
 The swimming pool is pleasant and guests like to take a dip here or sunbathe. It is a nice location.
 There is a large selection of Coffees and Teas at Rosso Vivo. The staff are very attentive and polite.
It is a great place - just to relax and chat.


We had 2 x Bali Coffees at 22000 rp each.
We highly recommend this place as a refreshment point close to Kuta Beach.

Restaurant Review :- Kori, Poppies Gang II, Kuta, Bali

 The Kori Restaurant is an oasis of tranquility on the busy thoroughfare called Poppies Gang II in Kuta, Bali.

When you enter the beautiful restaurant - you appreciate the warm welcome from the friendly staff and the lovely stream full of fish encircling the restaurant.


We    were enticed by the culinary offerings on the menu which  were both plentiful and delightful. We  arrived  for a Christmas Eve meal with my family and we appreciated the  memory of a special meal. 
Before  we began our meal we had a pineapple juice (30,000 rp) and a Crushed Ice Guava Juice (25,000 rp) and a Java Black Tea (15,000 rp).
We sat by the idyllic bar area and enjoyed the peaceful atmosphere. 
 One of our party ordered a 'special' Satay dish - which was very tasty and so very well presented.  It really wetted the appetite for a night of celebrating Christmas.
 We also ordered the Nasi Goreng which was certainly a cut above most of the standard 'Nasi Goreng' dishes which are not in the same league.
 I had the Beef Massaman Curry which had a spicy kick to it and was very filling.
We would recommend this restaurant to anyone. The service is top class. The food is excellent and it was utterly faultless when we visited it. It is not particular cheap but knocks spots off any similar indonesian restaurant in Singapore. Enjoy it - but you may need to book in advance - especially in peak season!

Restaurant Review :- Kunyit Bali Restaurant, Jalan Kartika Plasa, Bali, Indonesia

 We were staying at the 'Febri's Hotel' in South Kuta so the 'Kunyit Bali' restaurant was ideally located for us. Literally It was just a short walk away.

We arrived at 3pm for a short snack and we really liked the menu so we went there.

The staff were very welcoming and helpful and were so very attentive and nice that we felt very 'special'.


 The restaurant is really very nice and our table was very comfortable. The only downside was there were a lot of mosquitos near the restaurant so make sure you spray the deet on yourself.








We ordered the 'Nasi Bali Campur' Dish and it was very tasty. It had a nice mix of green vegetables, rice, Satay and soup.

I would order this again as it really hit the spot.


Personally I prefer Bali Hai Beer to Bintang Beer.

Bintang Beer is everywhere in Bali and not so many places sell Bali Hai. Bali Hai Beer has a smoother taste and is perfect to drink with a meal.

Bali Hai is produced on Java not on Bali.

Bintang Beer is owned by Heineken - and tastes essentially the same - with a sharp aftertaste.

The meal was very reasonably priced. With the 'Nasi Bali Campur' costing less than 10 singapore dollars.
We would recommend this ambient and delightful restuarant.
We would give this 9 out of 10 for polite and helpful staff.
The food would get 6/10.
7.5/10 would be our rating.
Don't eat the ginger - it is just for Decoration!!
