After our visit or the presentation of Karma Royal membership, we waited for Resen to pick us up and start our half day tour at Uluwatu area. All of us were so starving since it was nearly 1.00pm.
Daddy asked Resen to look for a place to eat while we were on the way to Uluwatu. Resen brought us to a place and it is called Warung Cikgo.
From the street it doesn't look at all as attractive as it really is. From the first impression, I like the place, as it is kind of environment that we love, authentic!
Once we sat down, and I did notice that almost all of the guests were tourists! And I knew that the food price too, would not be cheap either.
We ordered 1 Cah Kangkung Rp.30,000, 1 Crispy Duck Rp.105,000, 1 Cikgo Special Pork Rib Rp.125,000, 4 Steamed Rice Rp.48,000, 1 Coca Cola Rp.15,000, 2 Ice Lemongrass Rp.30,000 and 1 Mineral Water Rp.10,000.
I feel that it is pricey as the food portion are not big, the sauce is little. We need to wait quite some time for our meals. The food is ok.
May be this is the first time I drink Lemongrass, it is really yummy, soothing and cooling too! I like the drink so much.
The Kangkung was average, the Pork Rib is ok but the portion really is small, and the Crispy Duck as well. All in together with the 5% service charge and 10% tax, the total bill came to Rp.419,265.
Through our 2 days experience here at Bali, we feel that the local Balinese main food is rice, and the vegetables or meats would only a very little portion of their meals.
After the meal, we continue our journey to our next destination – Padang-Padang Beach.
Padang Padang Beach, locally referred to as Pantai Labuan Sait, is one of Bali’s most famous surf spots, located on the north-western coast of the island’s Bukit Peninsula.
Heading up along Jalan Raya Uluwatu from Jimbaran and around 30 minutes’ drive past the Garuda Wisnu Kencana Cultural Park, a junction with signs that clearly bear ‘Jalan Labuan Sait’ leads you along a hilly but smooth 3.5km asphalt route.
We reached there around 2.45pm. There are entrance fees for the foreign tourists 2 adults x Rp.10,000 and 2 children x Rp.5,000.
During the time we purchased the tickets at the counter, we saw some tourists walking up with their surf boards under their arms. definitely a good surf spot.
According to Resen, Uluwatu is the place for surfers as the wave is huge enough. Beach access is down the slope across the road from a large parking area.
We came to a place where two sides of the limestone cliff, offering a glimpse down to the beach from up high. The steps were steep going through small narrow cave.
Once we reached to the beach, the sand was white and can see moderate number of people doing swimming , enjoying surfing ,fishing and sunbathing.
There are stalls which sells food, drinks, and some souvenirs there. We spent roughly 45 minutes there.
It was during the low tide, we were surprise as we able to see some sea snails, star fish, sea urchins, etc.
The weather was really hot and ‘killing’ us. We went to the next beach which according to Resen is much more beautiful.
Blue Point Beach is a beach with steep cliffs and big waves, and the Blue Point beach is more suitable for surfing!
Therefore, when we arrived there, we saw plenty of surfers. All were in their swimming suits, bikinis, and the surfing boards!
We noticed that when going down the stairs, we can see many cafes offering culinary combined with the scenic beauty of the beach.
Frankly, we were too tired too walk. We just rested at one of the local warung and have our cool coconut drinks! We did try their local grilled corns, with the spicy and sweet flavour. It tasted nice and better compared Malaysia!
We concluded our beaches visits and heading towards our next destination – which is the Uluwatu Temple visit.
