Cooking or being in the kitchen was not my thing at all, although my mom was a perfect in that department,and it is obvious I wasn’t herited her talent at all… :sad: But Bart had been longing for Sayur Asem made in ‘moi’!, and he always encouraged me to try!

At the supermarket, they have this ready pack complete with the ‘bumbu’ (spices), so here I was, grinding my first Sayur Asem herbs & spices.


And I’m an expert now !..wanna try my cuisine?

Sayur Asem is an Indonesian vegetable dish, a clear soup with strong tamarind and palm sugar flavor.

I was craving for Italian food for so long, so WARUNG ITALIA was our choice. Bart chose the buffet menu : roasted chicken with herbs, potato gratin, spinach pasta, while I opted for Spaghetti with mushroom (can’t remember the italian name anymore).

This non-aircon Italian Rest in ‘warung’ style is located in Jalan Kunti,Seminyak, and has been favorite to both locals and tourists in Bali wanting for real Italian Food in affordable price. It was a bit hot that evening, but I enjoyed the food anyway, until…..!!! I got home and my indonesian stomach that is too familiar with nasi (rice) gave a reaction to the food….ouggh so not nice.

It’s strange that I got this reaction from spaghetti I used to like a lot, I guess SUSHI is too blame. This last one has become the comforter in a bad mood or for any celebration for the last 3 years. Best place & affordable for me is definitely PAPAYA FRESH GALLERY at Patih Jelantik,Kuta. YUMMY…YUMM!!!!

They have various range of wine that are grown & harvested in Bali, located precisely in Singaraja, North East of Bali.

As Bali’s original vineyard & winery,they really make me proud of introducing a local-not imported- wine to my Jakarta or Bandung friends coming to Bali, despite of a despicable comment from some of my western friends..:(

From their 8 labels, my most favourite one is definetely ALEXANDRIA, a medium-sweet fruity flavour white wine, made from Belgia grapes grown in Hatten Wines vineyard.

Wina, one of my Jakarta friend just recently left her Alexandria from her Bali visit for me & Bart.

I planned to open and drink it on her next February visit, but one night I just couldn’t resist looking at that chilled green bottle in my fridge.  SO one, two sips of Alexandria sweetness has made my night..

Promised to myself I would buy Wina’s other favorite Hatten Wines – PINO White or Red to replace this.

In order, my 3 Top favourite Hatten Wines labels are :
1. Alexandria
2. Rosé
3. Pino White

Which one are yours? Or do you prefer other local or imported wine? Would love to know !
