#273 | NUSANTARA BY LOCAVORE

BALI, INDONESIA

In our last night in Ubud, we dined at Nusantara by Locavore, a restaurant whose menu features classic Indonesian dishes from all the various regions of Indonesia. What was really pleasing was how this place didn't have the typical dishes like mi goreng or nasi goreng on their menu, which gave us the chance to try other local and authentic Indonesian dishes. We began with a complimentary taster wheel of Indonesian snacks, which was such a nice surprise and a nice start to our meal. The menu is designed to be shared, so we got a bunch of different dishes to have with rice. We had some squid, pork, chicken and beef and of course, room in our bellies to share 2 different desserts. All the dishes we tried were unlike any other kind of Indonesian foods we know of. The flavours were all so different, but still uniquely Indonesian.

#272 | WARUNG BABI GULING IBU OKA

BALI, INDONESIA

Babi guling is Balinese spit roasted suckling pig and a must try when in Bali. We had our experience at Ibu Oka, a small restaurant located a short stroll from the Ubud market. While there is a small menu, this place only serves babi guling. Flavoursome and ultra tender pieces of roast pork over white rice, spiced vegetables and a bit of crackle.

#271 | SANKARA UBUD RESORT & VILLA

BALI, INDONESIA

For my 29th birthday, the Boy took us on a 10 day trip to Bali. It was our first time in Indonesia. For the first 4 days of our visit, we stayed in Ubud, at the beautiful and tranquil Sankara resort. Our room was comfortable and spacious and just all round gorgeous. Every morning, I'd start  with a sunrise yoga session at the resort, which was an activity that was included in our stay. The sessions were held at the semi-open roof top, which had a view of the expansive forest around us. After a nice, relaxing session, it's time for breakfast. A scrumptious breakfast spread was included in our stay, which we enjoyed everyday in the comfort of our verandah in our room. It was such a fantastic way to start every day, before heading out to explore Ubud and the surrounding areas. On our shorter adventure days, we'd find ourselves back at the resort in the early afternoon. On those days, I love winding down in our room, having an afternoon bath or have a quick workout at the gym. We had a wonderful stay at the Sankara in Ubud.
