Advantages |
Eat in Kuta eat:
Easily as many restaurants and warungs as there are losmens. Go to different
places for different specialties-the best vegetable soup at the Bamboo
Den, Rp75 (also great enchiladas); best gado2 and nasi campur at the Post
Office Restoran; best prawn salad at the Free Bar and Restaurant; best
banana daiquiries at Poppies, etc. If you get misty for home some places
serve toast and vegemite or peanut butter and honey sandwiches, Rp100
None of the food on Kuta is really first class; only in Sanur are there
really fine (and expensive) restaurants. Even Kuta's better restaurants
have their off-days. Some dishes, like 'vegetable pie', somehow get lost
in the translation. 'Vegetable pie' could end up as just a pancake with
vegies inside. For the cheapest food: fried tahu carts, Rp25-50; goose
and noodle soup carts, Rp50; sweet mungbean soup, Rp10-25; baked corn,
Rp25 per. The back lane warungs are good for the money, heaps of food.
Most nasi campurs cost Rp150 in the warungs. Though it costs Rp2000 for
a mediocre meal at Yasa Samudra's Restaurant, you can eat quite satisfyingly
in the warungs out in front of it for Rp150. Buy big papayas for Rp125-150.
Buy wedges of tempe (Rp10 each) in Kuta Market and take them to Dayu's
or the Chinaman's on Poppies Lane and have them cook you up some fried
rice. Several places prepare magic mushroom soups and omelettes, either
the Rp500 strength, or if you just want to get a little bit disturbed,
the Rp300 strength. The in place for breakfast is Allang's; also the very
best jaffles, chili con came, and yoghurt. Lenny's is an exceptionally
good seafood restaurant near the beach, but not for the impecunious: Rp1500
for a small tasty chicken lobster or Rp2000 for a large fish (big enough
for two). Good service without them falling all over you. The best restaurant
food is at Jenik's Poppies, which has become a singles pick up bar and
a hangout for Indonesian pimps. Try fish and chips, Rp500, the fish chowder,
Rp400, and Mexican dishes like bean tacos, Rp300. About one-third more
expensive than the cheaper restaurants, Poppies plays the Ritz of Kuta.
Mama's, right next door to the Tropicana, has the tastiest vegetarian
smorgasbord going every evening; all you can eat for Rp300. Get there
early before all the best dishes are snapped up. Sit out front and take
in the street life. Tropicana has the best bean tacos and breakfasts.
Both Tropicana and Perama's make the best deep pan apple pie and ice cream,
Rp300.

we must point out a very important distinction which the Balinese make between
two clearly separate groups of ancestors. The first of these groups consists
of the dead who are riot yet completely purified. This group is in turn subdivided
in pirata, those riot yet cremated, and pitara, those already cremated. The
former are still completely impure; the latter have been purified, but are still
considered as distinct, individual souls. The second group consists of the completely
purified ancestors who are considered as divine. Everything Bali Indonesia |
