Time was almost
11.00pm but a few in our entourage needed a food boost after a relatively early
dinner on the plane; hence, the search for a place to have supper on our first
night in Bali!
The driver who
sent us to our hotel mentioned a food court establishment along Kuta Beach and
we managed to find it in no time! It was relatively quiet although we kind of
expected it since most shops close at 10.00pm and many people would have
proceeded to the clubs and watering hours.
True to the
driver's words, the operation was indeed food court like and there were a number
of stalls for selection. However, they sold almost the same kind of food; mainly
seafood and prices were mostly exorbitant!
Most of us were
too tired to seek alternatives and we decided to just sit and order something to
fill up our tummies. We were mindful not to order seafood as that's usually the
main killer for our wallet and after a short consideration, Alex and I cast our
votes for Seafood Pantai Kuta.
Coconut
Juice
This wasn't that
expensive at about S$3.50 but the taste didn't appeal to us; it wasn't served
chilled, the coconut meat was tough and it wasn't sweet. Guess we were too
pampered with Thai young coconuts!
Nasi
Goreng Special
I wondered if the
word special meant anything as the plate of fried rice special didn't appear
different from the normal fried rice that other friends had; albeit from other
stalls. Worse of all, it was just plain plate of fried rice without any wok-hei
and I confidently declared to Alex that I might be able to fry a better
one!
Sayap
Ayam Bakar
From
my Bandung trip, I know ayam bakar means grilled / bbq chicken and
I was stuck with the word sayap. Does it mean honeyed? No, it means wings.
=_=
Though grilled to
a charr-ness that would not be considered as excessive, I did feel that the
price of almost S$7.00 was too much for 4 limb-looking chicken wings and the
food court wasn't even air-conditioned.
Taste wise - I
can only say I have a better liking for the skin that seemed to have been spread
with a thin layer of honey. The meat wasn't fantastic and it didn't feel good to
see the dark bones underneath once the meat was torn off; as my mom would have
said, frozen chicken not properly thawed would not taste as
good.
Well, it didn't
stop me to clean up everything. My national service stint has taught me well;
never waste food. Unless they taste literally like shit.
