[Tapai Goreng / Fried Tapai] "Tape" or "Tapai" is a traditional fermented food can be made from a variety of carbohydrate sources, but typically from cassava, white rice, or glutinous rice. These golden ball is fried fermented cassava (tapai) with flour. Every golden ball has a bit alcoholic sweet sour taste. Actually this dish is quite unique, it has been proved that not only fried banana is delicious but fried tapai also could satisfied my appetite. I'd love to dip the golden ball with mayo.  
Price: Rp15.000/portion

[Pisang Goreng Keju / Fried Banana with Cheese] Another recommended dish by its owner and the lady boss's favorite as well is fried banana with grated cheese and chocolate. Honestly, almost everywhere are available for this kind of dish. Well the taste are almost same with other place. But the point is how much grated cheese they would like to top on the fried banana. LOL. Anyway, the taste is pretty good. Crispy with much of grated cheese and chocolate!

[Mushroom Pizza] I only could say great! The taste is great.. really great with tomato sauce at the base and sliced mushroom, tomato, onion on the top with mozzarella. Four pieces for one pizza. If grilled a bit longer, it would be tastier.

All You Can Eat Dimsum at Sanur Harum (Bali)

All you can eat dimsum at Sanur Harum. 

Some of the dimsum are contain prok - nonhalal. 

 

While waiting the food, there is an appetizer - braised peanut and kind like cucumber but that is not cucumber. To be honest, they served food very slow. We waited about twenty minutes just served one plate of food. 

After wait about twenty minutes.

[Jelly Fish Salad] 

Delicious! The jelly fish is chewy mixed to slightly sweet sauce. 

There are fried vermicelli, sliced capsicum on the bottom 

and sprinkled sesame seeds on the top.

[Pork Belly] 

It might look tasty but to be honest I'm not recommend it at all. 

The sliced pork belly is over chewy and not marinated well. 

Only the sauce is good. 

[Roasted Chicken and Garlic] 

Delicious! Tender inside, crispy outside. The meat is tender and the skin is crispy,  

Don't forget to dip in to the chili sauce!

[BBQ Pork Honey] 

Delicious for the first bite. Good marinated and slightly sweet of honey. 

But eat too much without rice, taste like to oily. 

 [Deep Fried Marinated Minced Squid Wrapped in Bacon] 

Over-chewy! eventhough the bacon is crispy but the squid inside is over-fried. 

[Deep Fried Crispy Wonton] 

Crispy wonton with shrimp filling. Well done!

[Shrimp Roll Wrapped in Rice Papper]

Eventhough it is fried version but the rice papper is chewy. 

Anyway, it is good enough! I still can taste the juicy of the shrimp.

Well done!

 [Crispy Fried Gow Gee]

Crispy and crunchy just like sotong crackers. 

No any taste. 

[Crispy Prawn] 

Great presentation!

The taste is average. Nothing special. 

Anyway, it will be great if you eat with the cabbages as well. 

[Pork Sio May] 

Same as the name. 100% is pork, no prawn at all. 

 [Steamed Money Bag] 

There is spinach inside the money bag. 

The skin is quite chewy. Overall the taste is delicious. 

I love it!

[Steamed Chicken Bun]

At the first, I don't expect anything or I may say this is the lowest expectation but 

actually this is the most delicious dimsum here.

A great combination of peanut butter and chicken meat as the filling. 

Love it so much!

[Choung Pan Char Siew] 

I prefer the skin than filling. 

[Steamed Spare Ribs with Black Bean]

The taste is under average. 

They should put some sliced ginger on the top to cover the pork smelly. 

[Bak Kut Teh] 

The taste is more like bakso kuah than bak kut teh. 

It is sweet and oily. 

[Chicken Meat and Sweet Corn Soup]

Same as the name, it is sweet with a lot of corns, minced chicken meat and

scrambled egg. 

[Sago and Honey Melon]

 End with delicious dessert. 

The best way to describe the taste is like melted strawberry ice cream with sago and melon.

[Mango Pudding]

Another choice of dessert, 

the taste was great, except the cream on the side (not creamy at all). All is about mango, there are some mango cubes inside the pudding.

Can't Stop Falling in Love with Gusto Gelato

My first impression is how is a small shop can accommodate a lot of people.

Before I stand in front of the entrance, I saw there was many vehicles at parking lot special for Gusto Gelato's guest while the shop looks so small from the outside.

Can't stop falling in love with Gusto Gelato. To be honest, there are many delicious gelaterie in Bali but Gusto Gelato is my favorite one. 

I tried matcha and chocolate cashew nut - wonderful combination. 

I had never tasted so delicious matcha gelato even though a bucket of matcha gelato is also not enough for me. It taste creamy and light with slightly sweet.Perfect!

There are many selection of chocolate gelato. I was confused to choose even though I believe all selection are delicious. Finally, I choose chocolate cashew nut. I love the cashew nut so much! The cone is crunchy and slightly sweet.

My friend ordered 4 in 1, matcha - strawberry - chocolate mint and passion fruit. I tasted the passion fruit, it is cool and slightly sour.

   

Choose the size and pay first.

Die Die Must Try! - Babi Guling Pak Dobiel

DIE DIE MUST TRY!

Many people say that Babi Guling Pak Dobiel is the best babi guling in town which is you die die must try. Anyway, do you know what is "babi guling"?

Babi guling is one of the famed dishes in Bali which is a whole pig roasted over a fire. 'Babi' means pig in Indonesian. Babi guling also known as suckling pig in English.  A suckling pig is a piglet fed on its mother's milk.

 

Babi Guling Pak Dobiel is serve with steamed rice topped with roasted suckling pork, crisp liver, pork skin crackers, chili and lawar on the side. So, how was the taste? Well, I must admit that I'm not a pork lover but except this. The roasted suckling pork was great, it was not too tender but chewy. Actually, I can't remember the taste of the roasted suckling pork itself because it was empowered by the taste of lawar and chili. What is lawar? Lawar is a perfect combination of vegetables, coconut, minced meat and rich of spices.  I love it so so so much! It was very delicious. Superb combination with the chili, it is a lot of garlic inside.  I love the crisp liver, it was quite crispy and well marinated. I couldn't finished the pork skin crackers because that was fat stick with the skin, I'm not really like it. Overall, I love it especially the lawar and chili!

 

Anyway takeaway is different with dine in portion. If you dine in, it will be serve with a bowl of warm soup. 

Of course the price also different. Actually, there is no fixed price. As per the information I got from others experiences, the price for dine in is much higher than takeaway. If you want for takeaway, please never ask the price for a portion but you mention the price first otherwise it will be more expensive. Example: "Mam, takeaway a portion for IDR 20.000 please."

This is portion of IDR 20.000 (less than USD2). I bought and ate it at Nusa Dua Beach which is just 5 minutes drive from Warung Pak Dobiel. Don't forget to get a spoon from there!
