Bali Day 4: Pasar Seni Sukawati, Kintamani, Pura Tirta Empul & Tegalalang

Continued from Bali Day 3......

After enjoying our beauty sleep at Green Field, Ubud, we continued our last day itinerary. Time just swift by quicker especially when you're on a holiday.

Our Day 4 was spent on more last minute shopping & more sight seeing.

#1 Shopping at Pasar Seni Sukawati

Travelling to Ubud, be it the mountain areas of Bali or to the East coast of the island, you will inevitably pass through the market town of Sukawati. We would say it would be a smart choice to shop here as most of the items you buy on the streets of Kuta, Legian or Seminyak originated from here.

Paintings, wood carvings, girls' accessories e.g bags, blings or sandals, you could bargain down to a very surprising price :)

Jaya ONE Food Crawl!

When so many bloggers were cordially invited to have a round of Food Crawl @ Jaya ONE, we were excited to participate as we've not tried any 'restaurant-hopping' at such a hype place.

As you may know, Jaya ONE is one of the IN place for dining for most people. A variety of cuisines to choose from, it's almost a fuss to choose sometimes and truly speaking, Chris and I don't really remember what's there to try from too. Thanks to Ramesh and the Jaya ONE group for allowing us to venture around with an overwhelming appetite.

The MAKAN route for the evening:

Green Field, Ubud, Bali

Note: We made a reservation about 4-5 months in advance and the rooms were quite full already! Do make early bookings to avoid disappointment.

This was what we mentioned earlier for our 2nd night stay at Tegal Sari. Refer out post HERE.

Bali Day 3: Babi Guling, Pasar Ubud, Pura Taman Ayun, Kopi Luwak, Pura Ulun Danu, Tanah Lot & Smoked Duck at Bebek Bengil

Continued from Bali Day 2......

After pampering ourselves with a great stay at Tegal Sari, we were thrilled to carry on our third day plan!

A summary of our Day 3 itinerary:

#1 Babi Guling @ Ibu Oka

Even after our Banana Pancake breakfast at the villa, we decided to head over to Ibu Oka's Ubud branch for another round of late breakfast. We were there early as they open at around 11am & we waited patiently for the arrival of the huge Babi Guling.

Tegal Sari, Ubud, Bali

A day fun-filled with activities have to be compensated with a relaxing & comfortable , energy-recharging hide-out somehow.

Our 2nd night's accommodation was spent in Ubud; a remarkable town in the middle of the island of Bali.

Tegal Sari to be precise.

Villa concept rooms that offer tranquillity, privacy and comfort churning out a relaxing atmosphere. We had rooms facing the the green rice field, overlooking the nature, hearing natural harmony of frogs croaking & crickets sing.

Bali Day 2: Made's Warung, Kuta Beach, Nusa Dua Beach, Spa, Sunset at Uluwatu & Delicious Ribs at Naughty Nuri's

Our Driver

Mr. Bagus. He charged IDR 300,000 per car (Toyota Avanza)/ day. He offered to pick us up at the airport on the first day (without charges). Thus the total amount we spent for transport was IDR 900,000/ RM318.20 (for 3 full days, for 4 person). Great deal eh?

Continued from Bali Day 1......

A night to re-energize and we're all ready for action again. Woke up early and checked out of Tune hotel (we stayed in 3 different hotels for the 3 nights we spent in Bali).

Here's our itinerary for Day 2:

#1 Breakfast at Made's Warung

For locals or even tourist alike, this place is famous. We have read reviews on Bali's must dine-in venue and Warung Made (pronounced as 'mah-deh') had made it on almost every page of the dining lists. Since it's highly recommended, we were even excited to check it out for ourselves. It's local food we're searching for! :)

Note: Will update price soon

Bali, Indonesia Day 1: Jimbaran Seafood Dinner & Kuta Town

I remembered well when Citygal texted me from Malaysia while we were still in Glasgow.

Air Asia zero fair!

Without second thought, the answer "yes" just voiced out automatically.

Here we were, in Bali with no regrets and this was an unforgettable trip with KampungboyCitygal.

#1 Air Asia cheap return flights that cost us only RM80 per person (includes check-in luggage)
