FUKU Fine Fugu Kaiseki Restaurant @ Mohamed Sultan Road

Media Invite


Fugu (pufferfish) is known for its ability to poison and kill, should it be ingested without being cleaned properly and thoroughly. Many have stayed away from fugu as a result. I am one of them, having heard a story from an acquaintance about his near death experience with fugu. I kinda made a promise to myself to never try it. But when the fugu is completely treated in Japan before being flown over, passing the stringent import regulations of the AVA and being prepared by the only licensed fugu chef out of Japan in Asia, there's really no reason good enough to stop me from trying fugu.

There are more than 120 fugu species in the world but only about 20 are fit for consumption. The Torafugu, which is the most premium pufferfish of all, is served right here at FUKU. 100% safe and only the best. Fugu is available at FUKU all year round and every edible part of the prized fugu is employed in the preparation of various dishes

Choya Cocktails @ Neon Pigeon

Media Invite


Made from the ume fruit, Choya is an all-natural traditional Japanese liqueur that requires a year to produce. The ume fruit has been commonly mistaken as plum but it is in actual fact, very different from plum. Choya is typically enjoyed right from the bottle or on the rocks but how does a Choya cocktail sound?

Happy Mookata @ Sunset Lane

Happy Mookata has opened its second outlet at the now rebranded Sunset Lane. It has a pretty large alfresco dining area and there are also seats indoors (airconditioned). At $25.90 nett, this eat-all-you-can mookata buffet is seriously a steal!

Fresh Fruits Lab

Heard pretty mixed reviews about FFL but somehow, I was still expecting to be impressed when we made our way here for dinner on a Sunday evening.

Bali Food Guide - 7 places to eat at

What to eat, where to eat, are two of the most researched topics when it comes to a holiday. And we bring you our Bali Food Guide that features 7 of the more noteworthy places that we went to!

The Carving Board

The Carving Board has taken the western part of our island by storm with its affordable and delectable selection. I popped by on Sunday night at 8pm and was the tenth person in the queue and little did I know that I would queue for 50 minutes just to place my order. Even though my food took about 20 minutes to arrive(which is short compared to the time I spent queuing), I was really unhappy about it. I mean, would you rather queue for 20 minutes and be able to sit down for 50 with your pals or would you rather stand and queue for 50 minutes and sit for 20? Well, I would rather the former.

That aside, I must say that the food was pretty good.
