Water Blow, Nusa Dua, Bali, Indonesia

Throwback to my first exploring Bali trip, it was "Water Blow" at BTDC Nusa Dua. It is an amazing waves on the rock cliff. The wave hit the reef, pressure rises and blow up. That's why this place called Water Blow.


This is the gate to enter Water Blow. 
To reach this gate, we have to enter from main gate of BTDC Nusa Dua then drive around 5 minutes to reach the second gate which is enter to Nusa Dua Beach. 
Drop at the second main gate then walk through the beach and big statue then walk till the end follow the sign to reach this gate to enter Water Blow area.

This is a big rock statue in water blow area.
Do you see the fence behind the rock statue? 
Yes, that is fence but the fence not covered the whole area. 
So, please be careful!
Actually this area is consider as dangerous area. 
If you are there and the huge waves come, you can easily fall down on the rock reefs.
























































 Yeah! because i came at noon. So, the blow was not huge.

Pacific Palace's Dimsum Buffet (Batam)

One of the delicious and affordable dimsum buffet in Batam's hotel.

Happy Sunday, people! 
Sunday is brunch day.
Here i would like to recommend you one of the affordable dimsum buffet in Batam. 
Yeah, it is at Golden Palace Restaurant in Pacific Palace Hotel. 
Pacific Palace Hotel is the first hotel in Batam which is offering dimsum buffet on weekend and also the only hotel which is offering dimsum buffet on Saturday night.
But I personally prefer to come here on Sunday morning because more choices of dimsum are available than on Saturday night. 
Well, so how about the taste? Let's check it out!

I always take both of it.... and same story always happen.

[Har-Gao] is always good. The prawn is fresh, springy, and the skin is nice and chewy.
I and my friends always take minimum 5 portions of Har-Gao and 
gladly we always finished it. 

[Char Siew Bao] Basically this should be steamed bun with pork filling but no pork, no lard in here. They change the filling with minced chicken meat. Well the taste is average, nothing special.

I always take a portion of Char Siew Bao. 
When my friends saw it, they shaking their head and response, 
"You know we don't like Char Siew Bao then why you always take Char Siew Bao since you never finish it by yourself and everytime we are forced to finish it?"

 Actually, I'm sorry sisbro! 
Because i just can't resist the temptation of Char Siew Bao. 
Everytime i only finished half of it and my other 3 friends was forced to settle the rest. 
So, this is what we say "brotherhood".


Fried bean, Lo Bak Gor and fried dumpling are always be my favorite all the time. 
and must eat the PORRIDGE ok?! yummy to the max!

Hello! They are my brotherhood. Well let me introduce them to you. 
My right side is Mr Ruswin Tao (He always take a big portion fried dumplings)
My opposite is Mr Jhon Cristori (He always help to finished the Har-Gao and Char Siew Bao)
My left side is Ms Ryryn Emon Kho (She likes the SiuMai)
and I will always take a portion of Char Siew Bao. 
Sorry guys! HAHAHAHAHAHAHA

Price: Rp 99.000++/person (adult)

Bread of Kurtos (Batam)

are you looking for some new, tasty and unique bread? 
Try this Hungarian old bread - Bread of Kurtos! 
 
 



 
 [Nutella Hazelnut] 
It's a wonderful time for Nutella lovers!
A "super" sized bread with authentic look. A crispy bread crust with nutella sauce and hazelnut spread across surface contrast with soft content. 
For the flavor, no doubt.....sweet nutella flavor with crunchy hazelnut will make you crave for more from first bite. For the price at Rp 25.000/piece (based on 12 September 2015), its quite pricey but worth to try and dying for!
