Nalu Bowls @ Seminyak, Bali

DSC_6839

Slightly before this Bali trip, I reignited my obsession with smoothie and acai bowls. How timely, especially how Bali is for the health/meditation obsessed. There is almost a faithful following paying homage regularly to regain that mental and body balance with the environment and food.

So Nalu Bowls, Indonesia's hidden secret that keeps the health conscious going back for more.

Doesn't everything sound so good? I was so tempted to have one of each. Their selling point is their usage of local ingredients and freshly made granola!

Down a neighbourhood that's definitely pet friendly, even the dogs run free!

Ulutwatu (IDR 70K)
Smooth Dragon Fruit Blend topped with strawberries, mango, coconut flakes and honey

I was dead keen on their only acai bowl on the menu but it was not available. So bummed! This combination was crazy love, tasted like sorbet than a fruit blend and paired with bananas and their homemade granola, I was full on satisfaction for sure.

JBay (IDR 65K)

This smoothie bowl was so different from the fruit versions, as good as eating peanut butter icecream except this was less sinful!

Baba Steven's Private Dining: A ex-chef turned home cook

Image
Baba Steven or Chef Steven is endearingly known as has been whipping up peranakan feasts from his Bukit Batok Home since he retired. We booked a table of 8 for a $450 dinner comprising of 8 dishes. Baba Steven's chilli is a must try, fragrant and so tasty with just white rice. I clearly overdosed on this whilst waiting for the rest to arrive, just like soy sauce and rice, so simple yet my belly was full on happiness. The feasting kind of started before the mains were served - freshly baked pineapple tarts. These open faced babies come with a mildly sweet pineapple jam baked atop a really buttery pastry shell. Bakwan Kepiting Soup This is almost a Peranakan staple across the private dinners I have done and whilst this is homecooked, I found the meatballs rolled a tad too tightly. Soup is refillable but those balls are limited to two per diner. Ayam Buah Keluak is the classic peranakan dish at all peranakan meals and Baba Steven takes pride in deshelling each of these tough nu

Jin Hua Fish Head Bee Hoon (金华鱼头米粉) @ Old Airport Food Center

Image
Jin Hua is a household name for fish soup in CBD , very much so that I have joined the relentless queues during lunch just for a bowl of steaming hot goodness. Hurray to this franchise which also sports queues but more forgiving ones! Even way past 2 pm, the queues were neverending. Sliced Fish Soup ($5) Bland broth in comparison to Hougang Hai Zhen Yuan's, the sliced fish slices made it worse since they were barely seasoned too.   It may problems with a franchise but I still prefer their fried fish version over sliced. Given now I have found an alternative, I'd probably be switching camps.  Jin Hua Fish Head Bee Hoon (金华鱼头米粉) Old Airport Food Center #01-120
