Oh..sunshine, where are thou when needed thou the most?
For those who missed the Part 1 of our journey, don’t feel shy. Just -->(Click here). Weather wasn’t as “friendly” as expected. Since we’re still in Ubud, we asked our driver to drop us for lunch in Ibu Oka Babi Guling. *Hehe..dying to try*
The entrance signboard
Fully seated thus we opted for “under the umbrella” seats. Don’t worry. It’s very common thing to share table with strangers. Limited edition..ma..
The hungry dear
Teh Botol Rp5,000 (RM1.75)
There are a few options in the menu. We ordered the separated version and another one would be special version. The separated meal consist of rice, soup and as you can see in the picture below (crispy pork skin, fried inner organs, sausage and spicy green veggie)- Rp50,000 (RM17.50)
Special Babi Guling is actually the most basic dish. Everything mixed in one plate- Rp30,000 (RM10.50). Honestly, I loved everything about the dish. The spices of the gravy just infused the entire dish and the best part was the crispy skin. Just can’t get enough of it.
The skins were separated to avoid sogginess. Yum yum!
No doubt the whole meal didn’t come cheap (Rp90,000 – RM31.50) but I personally think it is worth it. The spices might not suit everyone palate. Either you will love it or hate it. Give it a try… :)

Rain rain go away,
Come again another day,
Miss Vivian wants to play…..
*My dream never came true*
Entrance of Tanah Lot with my sexy umbrella…
Hmmm…..
Batik
Walkway to the temple (The thing that they are selling here was Mad expensive. Ok. An example to justify my accusation. I saw a dress and the seller “open” price was Rp350,000 (RM122.50) even after much negotiation, it was still expensive. I’m sorry but i rather get a better dress from shopping complexes)
Praying but it was drizzling at the same time… poor thing
Brave uncle who went for fishing…the wave was really scary
No sunset :(
Ahahahaha….dear dear’s dirty feet
*****
Months ago during planning, I wanted to bring my dear dear fir a romantic dinner. Just picture this in your head. Sun setting, waves sound, birds chirping, soaking your feet in the sand together while a live music band singing. Perfect!
However in reality, s*** happens. Drizzling + drizzling = no sunset and everything above. I was devastated. Is this how our Bali trip ends? T__T
The staffs untying the table cloths cause the rain got heavier
As we sat down in the inner corner of the restaurant, the waiter handed us the menu. We got shock of our lives!!!! The cheapest set available was Rp700,000 (RM245). Gulped! Omg..should we leave or stay? Since the tour guide brought us here, we felt a bit shy to leave so we opted for the cheapest set.
Part of the set. Soup with baked potato….below average..hmmm and many thing struck our head. I couldn’t imagine how the rest of the meal would taste like. Thinking to myself *”There goes our money*”.
Garden salad…..very normal. Nothing special
Ok..here came the rice and fried veggie
Oh…suddenly the waiter brought out everything. The main course.
Wow…we were really surprised on how big the portion was. Seriously, it was HUGE!
Taste wise? Unbelievable delicious! Yes, our appetizer wasn’t good but these fresh seafood changed our entire perception of this place.
1. The seafood was Fresh! It was very important. The fish was nicely grilled while retained its juiciness.
2. The entire set consist of 600gm lobster (1 whole lobster), 600gm clams (6 pieces), 6 sticks of grilled calamari, 600gm grilled prawns and 600gm crabs (1 whole crab).
Oh…I actually missed those babies! Perfectly grilled!! However, the crab didn’t have much meat. Skinny fella.
Finale- fruit platter
After the rain stopped, we moved out for better view. Inside was stuffy and hot
Oh..look! Corn..grill corn!
Of course we couldn’t resist. Rp3,500 for 1 which means about RM1.22
Enjoying the corn and the view
The sky was getting dark by 6.30pm
I would recommend this restaurant for taste wise. Overall, even though the dinner did not turn out as I planned but we really had a great time and most importantly, the food was worth it! Now come to think of it, it wasn’t really that expensive as the food portion and deliciousness lived up to our expectations.

The next day, our flight was at 6.00am = arriving at airport 3.30am = waking up and do packing = 2.20am. Ohhh….why did I even book this time in the first place?
Oh ya..kindly reserve some money Rp150,000 (RM52.50) for tax purposes. Per person! Thank god we didn’t spend all…Hehe
Creepy airport @ 4.30am
My dear, I hope you enjoy this trip with me. No doubt it was very short, but I really had a great time with you. I love you so so much! Hope we can continue this journey till we both part from this world. Muaks!
♥♥♥I love you dear ♥
Cheers! XOXO
