Posted by admin on Oct 11, 2007
Food: International - Price: moderate
Someone told me that there was a new warung on the beach in Sanur. So what, I thought, but checked it out anyway. Hey, this is no Warung! This modern café, under European management is more like a beachside bistro. No wonder it has been busy ever since it opened, a few weeks ago. Blue, white, shade trees, white sand, salt air and breezes all go to make this the perfect spot for that anytime snack or casual meal. The menu reads different from most others. The food tastes different! Even the simple things are done well, the ultimate test! Read the rest of this entry »

Food: Balinese, Asian - Price: moderate
You have a choice of dishes from almost every part of Asia. That is what is on offer at the totally revamped Lotus Pond. The only Italian item on the menu is an end of meal espresso. The large bar lounge area is a popular meeting place for locals and tourists alike. Do you like Spring Rolls? Well here you have a choice of three different styles. The Indonesian ones are the usual large rolls stuffed with chicken and vegetables, a spicy peanut sauce for dipping. From Vietnam they are stuffed with a mixture of prawn and pork meat. Wrap them in lettuce and mint leaves and dip them in the nuoc-mam sauce. Messy, but nice! The Thai Seafood Spring Rolls come with a sweet and sour sauce rather than the traditional sweet chilli.
