Easy Cheesecake Cupcakes (OREO Crust)

Cheesecake Cupcake

Making cheesecake has never been so easy! I was just having a tryout on my second batch of cheesecake cupcakes as the texture of the first batch did not reach the mouthfeel that I wanted and I kind of succeeded this time round! The ingredients needed are quite basic too. Also, disclaimer... I bake for fun, not an expert baker!

Equipment:

1) Electric Hand Mixer
2) Food Processor (Or Ziplock & Pots/Rolling Pin)
3) Cupcake Liners
4) Cupcake/Muffin Tin

Ingredient (For the Cheesecake):

1) 1 Block (250g) of PHILADELPHIA Cream Cheese
2) 1/2 Cup Granulated Fine Sugar
3) 1 Large Egg (60g with shell) - Briefly whisked
4) 1 Tsp Vanilla Essence
5) 3/4 Tsp All Purpose Flour
6) OREO fillings - That you removed from the cookies

Ingredient (For the OREO Crust):

1) 1 Tube of the OREO Cookies (137g Package)
2) 1/4 Cup Melted Butter (~60g)

Method:

1) Preheat oven to 180°c and line cupcake tin with cupcake liners.

2) Remove the cream fillings from the OREO cookies and place the cookies into a food processor. Pulse the cookies in the food processor for a few times until it reaches the fine crumbs consistency. Remove the OREO crumbs and place it in a bowl.

3) Pour in the melted butter to the crumbs and mix it evenly. Use a spoon & scoop a tablespoon of the crumbs onto the cupcake liner in the tin. Use the back of the spoon to gently press the crumbs until even. Repeat and fill up the rest of the cupcake liners.

4) Put the cupcake tin into the oven & bake the crust for 8 minutes. Once done, remove from oven & let cool at the counter.

5) With the cream fillings from the OREO cookies in the bowl, continue to add in sugar, flour and cream cheese. Using a hand mixer, mix the ingredient until creamy. Then, continue adding in the whisked egg and vanilla essence and carry on mixing until fully combined.

6) Once it's fully mixed, pour the mixture into the liners with the baked crusts and gently tap the cupcake tin on a counter to release any air bubbles.

7) Bake in the oven for about 20 minutes, first 10 minutes at 180°c and subsequently 10 minutes at 160 - 170°c. Keep an eye on your cupcakes to ensure the top is not burnt.

8) Remove from oven & let cool on the counter to room temperature before refrigerating it for another 4 hours (at least).

Note: When the cupcakes are cooling down after removing from the oven, the middle might have sunk a little bit and that is alright. Once it has fully cooled down, it should look better.

Duration: 10 + 30 minutes

Serving: 9 - 10 cupcakes

Things that I've tweaked to get the cheesecake texture that I want:

1) Using an electric hand mixer to mix my ingredients - I feel that the consistency is better and it saves a lot of time mixing manually by hand.

2) Reducing the oven temperature by 10 - 20°c at the halfway mark so the top would not get burnt and prevent the cheesecake from being dry.

3) Adding a small amount of flour helps with the texture I guess as I didn't add the previous time.

Tips:

1) Make sure the cream cheese has softened; bring it out from the refrigerator and let it rest on the counter until it is soft enough to be mixed.

2) If the cheesecake cupcakes turn out to be on the dryer side, you can top it off with strawberry/ raspberry jam - that's what I did for my first batch.

My friend tried both batches and she prefers the first batch whereas my partner & I prefer this batch. If you would like to try making the first batch, you can omit the flour and bake the cupcakes at 180°c for 25 - 30 minutes.

I'm just sharing this recipe because it does not need any sour cream, heavy cream or gelatin. The only main thing you would need to buy is cream cheese and all the other ingredients are the basic stuff you probably already have in the pantry/kitchen!

Have fun baking!

TTFN!

Malaysian Passport Online Renewal (Singapore)

For long-term residents in Singapore, holding onto a Malaysian passport and are currently unable to renew the passport in Malaysia... Here's how to do it:

Step 1: Take a passport size photo of yourself

Dark colored top, with sleeves and covering chest & shoulder area
No glasses/colored contact lenses or any other accessories (except hijab - dark colored for the Muslims)
Background of the photo MUST be WHITE, the website will be able to detect it if it is not white & you will not be able to proceed with the application
Passport photo size must be 50mm x 35mm, leaving an approx. 10mm gap from your head to the top border - application website will show you an example of the correct passport photo size
I read that for passport photo, if you do want to smile when taking the photo, please do not show your teeth (Not joking...)

Apps that I had used to take the passport photo for myself:

The 3rd link is a background remover app to ensure that my background is white but I am pretty sure the ID photo apps are able to help you detect the background and let you edit to the color you require.

Tips: I used my phone to take a photo of myself (for better quality) against a white wall (or a full solid color background) then edited it using the apps above. Solid color background allows the app to detect and remove the background to replace it with white.

Step 2: Submit your details & photo online and make payment

Visit this link for online application: https://eservices.imi.gov.my/myimms/myPassport?lang=en
If you are lucky, you will enter the website without any hiccups but if you are unlucky & this appears:
Just click on "advanced" or "show advanced" (first red box) and the link on second red box will appear. Click on the link and it will bring you to the site.
The website will ask you to key in your personal details & to upload the photo. Passport details will then be auto-generated by the system & if your photo is successfully uploaded, it will show a black & white copy by the side.
Next, they will ask you to make a payment online via FPX - which could only be done if you have a Malaysian registered bank account.
When payment is successfully made, they will provide you with a RESIT RASMI with the details & proof that payment is received.

Sample for the resit rasmi after payment is made

Note: Point #2, do not bother going down the next day as stated on the resit rasmi.

It is inaccurate & is auto-generated from the system.

Step 3: Make an appointment for passport collection

Send an email to singapore@imi.gov.my or visit http://sto.imi.gov.my/atase/singapura/
Email content to include your full name, myKad (IC) no., passport no., passport expiry & attach the resit rasmi
Then, wait for approx. one month to receive a reply for them (I will share my timeline for the whole process in the later part of this post).
If you are trying to make an appointment online via the link above & if your attempt is successful (which I could not secure a date at all previously), I guess... You just need to show the appointment date/email/details given from the website & head down on the date that you've chosen.

I've just revisited the website to book an appointment and now, they allow you to book two months in advance (previously it was only one month & all the dates were unavailable)... That being said, I checked the latest date available (08/06) and it is indeed a pleasant surprise that the slot is available for booking! Good luck to those trying to renew passport now and in the future!

That is all you need to do to renew your passport online, sounds pretty easy eh? This is just the start for the arduous journey of renewing your passport... The wait is horrendous.

My timeline:

28 Feb 2021: Renewed online successfully, with payment made via a Malaysia bank. Received the receipt (Resit Rasmi).

1 Mar 2021: Emailed in to singapore@imi.gov.my to get an appointment date, but no response for a month. Tried calling in throughout the same week but to no avail - so don't bother. Also, tried making an appointment online via a gov website and ALL THE SLOTS are full even with the latest date available to make appointment (As of 08/04, I think the website now has available dates to book an appointment)

1st two weeks of Mar: Sent multiple SAME email (about 4 - 5 times) to singapore@imi.gov.my for appointment date but did not get any response, so I gave up, suck thumb and just wait to see if they will get back within 4 weeks (approx. 1 month, accordingly to the info I found online)

Read news about the embassy and the head of the embassy said in the news that they were sending in 8 more staff to the embassy to facilitate this passport renewal process in Singapore and to get a technician enter SGP from MY to fix the apparently broke down passport printer. Also, the important thing that he mentioned are:

1) Online application process takes 4 - 5 weeks

2) As of the latest news published on straits time, no walk-in is allowed anymore

Article link: https://www.channelnewsasia.com/news/asia/congestion-high-commission-singapore-will-be-resolved-malaysia-14451416 & https://www.straitstimes.com/singapore/malaysian-mission-in-spore-stops-walk-ins-for-passport-applications-after-complaints-of

28 Mar 2021: I received an email from noreply@imi.gov.my - all in bahasa, stating that my application has passed - additional period (which I had no idea what do they mean cos I google translated it) and it also said "Pejabat Pungutan Singapura akan menghubungi pihak Tuan/ Puan dalam tempoh 14 hari bekerja selepas tarikh email diterima untuk temujanji pungutan passport." which upon translating, "The Singapore Collection Office will contact you within 14 working days after the date the email is received for the passport collection appointment.".

Email from noreply@imi.gov.my

To play it safe, I emailed (again) to singapore@imi.gov.my with my details to get an appointment date for collection, citing that I received the email regarding it. I've no idea if the mentioned "after the date the email is received for the passport collection appointment" refers to the email I was gonna send to them or from this particular email they sent to me. So yes, I just sent another email to them. No harm trying.

07 Apr 2021: Received an email from singapore@imi.gov.my to inform me that my passport will be ready for collection on 19 April 2021, the email was mass sent to 10 people including myself as there are 10 names appeared in the email content. This email was indeed sent to me within 14 days from the first email I received.

Email for passport collection

Even though the email stated to bring only our current passport and My Kad IC for collection, I had read previously that we also need to bring along photocopied Singapore Blue IC (if you are a PR), work permit (If you are working here), a copy of the resit rasmi. To make the trip worthwhile, my two cents worth of opinion would be... Bring all of the above to avoid a wasted trip.

As of now, I am waiting to collect my passport on the 19 April 2021 and hopefully, it will be a smoooooth journey. Once my passport is collected, I probably will post again to update you guys on the collection process at the HiCom of Malaysia in SGP so you can have a piece of your mind when renewing your passport online while residing in Singapore.

Also, for latest SOP on passport renewal... HiCom of Malaysia stated on their Facebook page (17 Mar 2021) that they have introduced a "Dropbox" system for people who are unable to renew their passport online for whatsoever reasons or unable to secure an appointment date for passport collection online.

UPDATES - 19 APRIL 2021

PASSPORT COLLECTION DAY

Hello, guys! Today is the day that I was scheduled for my passport collection. Appointment time stated between 10am to 3pm for the collection. My timeline as below: -

10.10am: Reached the embassy and there was already a queue outside, waiting to enter the main building. Flash your appointment email on your phone or printout to the security guard outside and he will usher you in. 95% of the people there were all for passport collection.

Once I got in, I started to join the snaking queue - the queue was looooooong and it was outdoor. Weather was mercy enough, thunders heard but it was windy and did not rain at all. Totally recommend you guys to bring along an umbrella just in case of bad weather (super sunny/rainy) and I was hoping it would not rain cos I had nothing to shield me.

All you need to do is to queue. There will be one to two security guards inside, one Indian lady & one Malay guy. They were there to ensure the people are in the correct queue and no one makes any mistake in "accidentally" cutting the queue cos there would be some point where the queue breaks. Also, the Indian security told the person who asked for estimated time to collect, she said about 4 hours and I can attest to that.

12.30pm: I was still queuing but already at the area where you can see the office and I thought I would be able to enter soon. Lo & behold... The door was not the entrance and it was yet another snaking queue at the pavilion areas. At this point, there will be seats available for you and you can finally sit and queue.

1.00pm: Finally at the last stretch, no more turns to make. Once you see the "huts" or the fountain with no water, you are near but still need to wait. By the time you are there, the officer will come out and collect your IC (MyKad) so they could go back and retrieve your new passport for collection.

1.40pm: Stepped foot into the office - where the counters are. During this time, your wait is gonna be probably 5 to 10 minutes before your turn to collect. There are two queues, one for those who have to take queue number (they seemed like they were there to collect passports but I am unsure why they need to collect queue number), one for those (me) who received email for collection.

1.45pm: It was my turn. Scan thumbprint, sign and ink your thumbprint on the paper. Check passport details, sign on the passport and off you go. This collection process at the counter took only 1 minute. Also, my new passport indicated that issuing office is in JB so I think it is true that they print the passports in JB and send it over to SG.

I literally queued 3.5 hours to collect my passport at the counter which only took one single minute. There were only two counters for us - one for senior citizens/pregnant ladies (Priority Q), one for normal people like us. Senior citizens above 60yo (I think) could just inform the Indian security guard and she will inform you to go to Counter 2 - You do not have to queue outside with the rest at all.

The collection process was really straightforward but it was the queuing & waiting game that marred the whole experience. I am just glad that I received the email reply from the immigration and had a date scheduled by them for my passport collection with no hiccups in between. Just that the whole process from the start (online renewal) to the end (passport collection) took very long - 7 weeks & 2 days.

Oh, lastly, you only need your old passport & IC (MyKad) to collect your passport. They did not ask me to show my Singapore NRIC or my REP to them during the collection.

Good luck to my fellow Malaysians!

Hope this post helps!

TTFN!

Air Fryer - Dehydrated Pork Livers (Doggy Treats)

Dehydrated Pork Livers

Spending too much on buying dog treats for your furkids? Why not try this homemade dehydrated treats for them! It's so easy, all you need is just some time because... It is actually a waiting game.

Equipment: Ninja Air Fryer Max - AF160 (Or any dehydrator/oven with a low temp. setting), gloves

Ingredient: 3 Slabs of Pork Liver (I bought mine from Sheng Siong at S$1.00/piece)

Duration: 6 - 6.5 Hours

Method:

1) Pat dry the pork liver (although it should not be wet at all, probably just very slippery)

2) Cut them into strips (wear gloves if you are not a fan of blood) - around 1/8 inch thick

3) Space them out on the tray (please leave a gap between each slice to avoid them sticking)

4) Set the air fryer/oven/dehydrator at 70°c and let it dehydrates for 6 hours

5) Once they are fully dehydrated, pop it in a pre-heated oven for 10 mins at 135°c - To ensure that all the bacteria are killed and the treats are safe for your furkids to consume

Slicing the pork livers into small pieces

Arranging them onto the tray

Tips:

- The thinner the slices, the lesser the time needed for them to dehydrate

- Check the liver slices every couple of hours and flip them at the halfway mark

- Once they are dried up, remove them and transfer them into the oven to bake for 10 mins

- Store in the fridge to prolong the freshness of the treats (it could be kept up to several weeks)

- Do remember to remove as much fats on the meat/livers before you dehydrate as fats do not dehydrate well

I personally prefer using pork livers than chicken breasts for treats as the yield amount is much higher but one thing for sure, dehydrated chicken breast strips are DELICIOUS. I'd tasted them when I made the first batch previously, it was similar to eating potato chips but in a form of real chicken bits! - If you would love to try dehydrating chicken breasts, the method is the same as above, just check the meat every few hours to ensure they are evenly dehydrated. Try it!

Enjoy making treats for your furkids and yourself for a fraction of the cost!

TTFN!

BALIKINI: Day 3 (31st Aug 2015)

Last full day in Bali.

Day 3

- Cafe Brunch

- Tanah Lot (Floating Temple)

- HolyCow! Steakhouse

- Saka Purba Wisesa (Healing Massage)

-

Brunch at Anomali Coffee (Recommended by our Airbnb Host)

Well, the concept there is quite similar to those in Singapore. The interior design and whatnot but the food is pretty average. Then again, at least it's slightly cheaper compared to Singapore.

It's some sort like Starbucks since it actually sells some merchandises. Okay, maybe it IS like Starbucks, just that it serves brunch with quite a fair bit of selection available.

Tanah Lot

(AKA The Floating Temple)

Let me get the extract from Wikipedia for you.

"Tanah Lot is a rock formation off the Indonesian island of Bali. It is home to the pilgrimage temple Pura Tanah Lot (literally "Tanah Lot temple"), a popular tourist and cultural icon for photography and general exoticism."

Temple there is built to worship the Balinese Sea God and sadly, when we were there, the tide was too high for us to walk over... Nonetheless, the view was fabulous. You'd just go "whoa" "omg" "wow" "eh very blue hor!". It's literally one big piece of sea linking the sky, surrounded by all the temples.

There is actually one part that you could trek (I believe, you need to trek) to the rocks to take super awesome photos but nah, LOL we didn't have the time to find the route and trek over. It looks quite far from where we stand (higher ground where an eatery is situated), and we saw a guy sitting/standing at the rock before he eventually makes his way back to the dry land.

Oh...

My Havaianas which I got it in NZ, SNAPPED right there, so I kinda had to improvise on my flip flops by using a string so I could make it back to town to purchase a new pair. Erm, JSYK, there are a lot of Havaianas outlet shops in Bali, prices are slightly cheaper and they have designs that you can't find in Singapore. That being said, I got back the same design because, I WANNA STAND OUT IN SINGAPORE. LOLZZZ.

Anyhow, there's a snake temple at Tanah Lot too but we have someone with us who is ophidiophobia so we didn't enter the temple. If you stay at Tanah Lot long enough, I think there's some cultural dance performance at night, at the dining place overlooking the sea.

Anyway, there is a golf course at the further end of this Tanah Lot area, I am not entirely sure if it could get us there but I saw the greens & buggy while sitting at one of the eateries to fix my Havaianas (at least, it survived till we met up with our host whom then drove us to the outlet shop to get another pair.)

Another picture of 3 of us before we met up with our host to get back to town.

HolyCow! Steakhouse

So, we had seafood by the beach, then famous pork ribs, and finally, the last dinner in Bali, we devoured some steaks at this place where we supposed it was quite famous??? The ratings were quite good, and since, we were in the vicinity, we've decided to try it.

Right before dinner, where we had some time to spare, we went to all the outlet shops for surfing brands (there are lots of such outlet shops in Bali) and my dear friend decided that she had to eat before dinner... So this is her eating all that by herself.

Nasi Padang for the win!! Whatever you did not touch, it will not be billed. They will just serve you whatever they have at the moment and you choose what do you wanna eat.

Few more rounds of running around the outlets, friends trying to get some new bikinis, and it was time for dinner.

With the background lighting, we all looked pretty much like the local, especially the face in front.

There is a list for you to choose which part of the meat from the cow you would like to have and basically, we just chose those that sounded pretty normal to us. I meant, this post was supposed to be uploaded few years ago but I didn't complete it hahahaha and we were quite sure which part of the cow is "Sirloin" for and all that meaty terms.

That being said, I had zero idea what did I order that night but something that I could be sure of, was that I ordered for medium rare but my steak came out to be pretty raw towards the middle of my steak.

Could you justify the pic above that the steak is medium rare????

Mine is more like blue than raw or medium rare but it doesn't kill so I consumed all of it anyways.

Below is the chart with the courtesy of Google to show the guide of the ultimate steak.

Basically once dinner was over, we headed back to our Airbnb to pack our stuffs for our flight the next day.

And, to end of this post, breakfast on our last day in Bali sucked.

Kthxbye!

BALIKINI: Day 2 (30th Aug 2015)

Bali Day 2, 30 Aug 2015 (Ubud)

- Payung Whitewater Rafting

- Bali Pulina Agro Tourism
- Tampak Siring (Holy Spring Water Temple)

- Sacred Monkey Forest Sanctuary

- BBQ Pork/Beef Ribs

It was a day jam-packed with traveling and activities.

Let's skip the morning ritual and get straight to the Payung Whitewater Rafting and before I go any further, the cost for day 2 was around S$160/pax (WTF... For only Payung Whitewater Rafting and also, 12hrs private transport service; a freelance driver engaged by Natalie).

Again, benefit of doubts...

Natalie said the price we got for the whitewater rafting was half of the usual price (~S$60/pax) because our driver has some contacts linked to this Payung Whitewater Rafting.

The journey from Seminyak to Gianyar was about 45- 60mins ride, depending on the traffic. The driver whom I did not manage to get his name was actually quite a nice guy, with quite a fair bit of knowledge on the history of Bali. He could easily mention the height of the mountains, with the exact digits when being prompted.

Along the way, he gave us a brief idea on the culture in Bali, like whenever there's a temple or some cremation ceremony going on, he would explain in details and whatnot. It is a pity that we didn't manage to give him some tips after the day ended 'cos we thought he would be picking us up on the 3rd day but nahhh, Natalie took the wheels for day 3.

Payung Whitewater Rafting

Address:
Jln. Raya Payangan
Gianyar 80572
Bali, Indonesia
Email: payung_rafting@yahoo.co.id

The rafting guides are all well-trained and also, very experienced. They are able to converse in English fairly well, and there was actually one guide who is able to speak in basic Mandarin to cater to the tourists from Taiwan & China.

Whitewater rafting is supposed to be a raft that could accommodate 6 - 8 people but you could actually join it alone, as there's the raft which actually looks like a double kayak for the rafting.

The course of the river is approx. 12km long, and is a grade 1 or grade 2 river (rather gentle... with a few low drop points). It took us about 2 hours to complete the whole course with 2 stops in between to take a break (there's actually a stall at the river bank to sell drinks).

Along the course, you will get to see a 500m long of wall sculpture (if I remember correctly and that my guide didn't lie to us). You'd be so amazed, like how did they sculpt the wall where the river always flows. There are a lot of waterfalls as well, and the river is relatively clean, away from the civilization. Oh, we had to walk down to the river, for quite a distance but it was quite worth it.

The whitewater rafting package also comes with free lunch at the end of the rafting. It's kinda like a buffet, but do not expect it to be some international buffet from hotel. It's just their maggie goreng, rice, some chicken meat, and soup. FYI, anything tastes good with their Kicap Manis (Sweetened Dark Soy Sauce) so it was pretty alright for me.

There's also shower facilities there, but make sure you bathe/rinse yourself when other cubicles are not in use so the water flow from the shower head would be stronger and make sure someone is guarding your shower curtain... It's quite thin, making it kinda translucent so... either you bathe with your bikini on or get your friends to guard for you.

The most important thing for people like us...
There's also free WiFi at the wash-up/dining place!

//

Bali Pulina Argo Tourism

Address:
Jl. Raya Ceking Br.Pujung Kelod
Ubud Gianyar
Bali, Indonesia

This is the place where it exhibits the Luwak Coffee, it's free for all to enter and this place is actually recommended by our driver and so, he brought us there for some afternoon tea.

What is Luwak Coffee?
The Arabica & Robusta coffea are grown, and then eaten by Civit Cats, they SHIT it out, being harvested, hand-roasted and finally hand-grounded to become coffee powder. Yes, I shit you not. You're drinking the luwak coffee shitted out by the Civit Cats and oh god, it smells and tastes more aromatic than the usual coffee. Then again, I am not a coffee-lover/drinker.

Free entry but if you would like to try the Luwak Coffee, it's actually INR50,000 (approx. S$5) per cup but it comes with 7 or 8 others coffee/tea for you to try and their flavours will surprise your taste bud. It also completes with a small dish of sweet potato chips,

Opposite this Luwak Coffee Farm is this Padi Field cafe or something, I think it's walkable from the farm. There's a house on top of the padi field, like some isolated bungalow. It's quite a nice place to chill for the afternoon with coffee, tea and the chips.

The toilets are clean, and also, there's actually a guide who would bring you around talking about the process of the coffee powder and you get to actually see those Civit Cats and its poops with the coffee beans. HOW COOL IS THAT YO.

//

Tampak Siring (Holy Spring Water Temple)

It's a temple with the holy spring water to cleanse yourself from the sins you've done, kinda... Sorta...
You have to purchase the tickets at the entrance which I totally have forgotten what is the price but it isn't as expensive, probably S$3/pax.

Do not worry about wearing skimpy outfits (but you know, going to the temple... Maybe dress a little more appropriate), they actually provide you with shawl before entering, so you will just have to cover your legs if you are not wearing long pants.

The whole point of this Holy Spring Water Temple is to go down to the pond for a dip and rinse yourself with the water coming out from the sculpture which I have no absolute idea what is it or the history behind it... Thus, we didn't loiter there for too long before heading off to our next destination.

//

Sacred Monkey Forest Sanctuary

Address:
Jalan Monkey Forest
Padangtegal
Ubud, Gianyar 80571
Bali, Indonesia
Email: info@monkeyforestubud.com
Website: monkeyforestubud

This is the final stop for our day in Ubud.

One thing for sure, the monkeys there are FREAKING AGGRESSIVE like 24/7, I was so afraid that the monkeys would attack me, or snatch my stuffs away... Even our driver warned us to put our bags in front of us and the moment if you put your hand into your bag, the monkeys would think that you are taking some snacks out for them.

This monkey forest... Is just a forest full of monkeys.

Small, big, baby, adult monkeys are all there and there's only one breed LOL, it's like the monkeys you see in MacRitchie Reservoir, and also, 3 deers in one of the enclosure.

The baby monkeys are cute, some of them would hop onto your neck and shoulder and there was once, the monkey got onto the German's head and then shoulder... The final move, the monkey hopped onto his arm like a baby in a cradle OMG so cute right.

None of his family members brought any camera or phones along so they didn't get to take photo of his dad with the monkey but I, as a good Samaritan, offered my help in taking photos for them and told them I could email them the pictures.

Guess what? I successfully obtained the email of his son. TEEHEE. Just kidding, his son looks relatively young like in his late teens.

We spent like 45mins in the forest before heading back to our town for dinner. While we were getting out from Ubud area, the way out is actually somewhat like the Kuta area. There are cafes, bar & bistro, and hotels along the street but a more chillax place than the Kuta area which is filled with all the clubs.

//

BBQ Pork/Beef Ribs

As we proceeded our journey back to our town, OMG I thought we would reach by 6pm plus but because of the peak hour traffic, it took us around 1.5hrs to get back and our driver dropped us at this famous grilled pork ribs.

Apparently, it's a place filled with a lot of foreigners, Asian foreigners. There's also free WiFi available and the sauce... The sauce was tangy and spicy for the ribs. The food was good, like you could go there for a grab and the price is somewhat reasonable. The waiting time wasn't that long even though there was a lot of people.

By the time we were done with the dinner, it was already 8pm, and there's nothing much to do in Seminyak area and we headed back to our Villa straight after dinner.

//

Now that I recalled back the activities we did on Day 2, it's actually quite a lot, and probably the most fruitful day for the whole 4D3N Bali Trip...

Alright, shall draft my day 3 in Bali in a couple of days!

Have a great week ahead, everyone!

Xx
