Bali produces a huge range of fruit, vegetables, herbs and spices and is a mecca for good food having attracted many established chefs from all over the world who have combined Balinese tastes with many other styles. This has resulted in options for all tastes and budgets spread widely across the island.
In Seminyak, on Jalan Kaya Aya you will find Chandi’s, offering modern Indonesian and Asian food with a blend of many other styles too. Chandis is where we head for our first meal, many during our stay and often our last as well.
They make the best margaritas. And the best double espressos.
Meat is imported from Australia and New Zealand.
Warm friendly staff and a lovely setting. (Menu online.)
Chandi is an old favourite, our new discovery is PEARL.
Read a review for Pearl and was attracted by the blend of traditional French cuisine mixed with Balinese flavours. It was a good choice. Well away from the road in Legian, this alfresco fine dining brasserie was green, cool and very pretty with sparkling fairy lights in the trees, but the real star was the food.
Head chef Jeremy Blanchet cleverly combines French techniques with local produce and the result was wonderful. Delicious food, beautifully presented.
Great cocktails, great food, lovely staff and a wonderful night. (Menu online)
I neither sought nor was paid for these reviews.
May 25th was Sun Screen Day, obviously intended to acknowledge the beginning of summer in the northern hemisphere. Sunscreen, a cream or spray, is applied to the skin to protect it from the Sun’s harmful ultraviolet rays and sunburn and can lessen your chance of developing skin cancers, or melanomas
According to the Cancer Council of Australia, two in every three Australians will be diagnosed with a skin cancer by the age of 70. They estimate in 2018 14,320 new cases of skin cancers will be diagnosed in Australia.
Until recently, Australia had the highest rate of deadly skin cancers in the world, but due to decades of public health campaigns, that claim has been ceded to New Zealand.
So, re-apply sunscreen regularly, wear a hat, stay out of the sun in the hottest times, particularly in Australia, New Zealand, North America and Canada.
