When reach Bali airport is already 2pm. We stay at Green Bali Hotel, Kuta. It provides pick up service from airport to the hotel. We have booked our driver for 3 days. Each day cost us RM130. After checked in, our driver comes to fetch us at around 3.30pm.
First day journey : Garuda Wisnu Temple -> Uluwatu Temple -> Kecak Dance -> Jimbaran Seafood.
Garuda Wisnu entrance fee is RP15,000 pax and car RP5000.
Uluwatu Temple entrance fee is RP3000 pax
Kecak Dance Rp50,000 pax
Heard a lot friends said Kecak Dance not nice, very boring bla bla bla. OK! I admit is a bit boring in the middle of the show. However, the show are unique because it does not required any instruments but using human voice "cak cak cak" and is enjoyable because they do jokes on audience after chak chak chak sounds for around 20 minutes.
Becareful when inside uluwatu temple, alot monkeys. I nearly hurted by the monkey when it tried to grab my kippling key chain. Warau neh ... scare neh ... I shouted so loud...
Jimbaran seafood is damn expensive. The dinner for 2 already costs us RP 319000 including prawns, fish and vege.

Entrance Fee for Pura Taman Ayun is Rp3000 pax, Ulun Danu Temple Rp10000 pax, tanah Lot Rp10000.
On the way, down from pura ulun danu temple, we stop by a restaurant by the road side to have our lunch, which is babi guling. Cost each around Rp10,000 only. Is cheap. However, not sure whether you can stand for the hygiene of the restaurant.
Dinner at Warung Made. We tried out the famous nasi campur. However, it does not taste so good as other website said. Furthermore, the price is expensive than it should be.

Weather not so good today. Keep on raining. Bad weather.
We first headed to Goa Gajah -> Tampaksiring -> Kintamani (lunch) -> Besakih Temple.
Along the way to Goa Gajah, we stopped by some shops. I bought batik RP200,000. A bit expensive I think but quality is ok.
Entrance to Goa Gajah RP6000 pax, Tampaksiring RP 6000, Kintamani RP10000 with car, Besakih RP 25000 with car.
Please notice that when go to Besakih Temple, you need to wear sarung. If you don't have one, you can buy before enter to the temple. It costs around RP20000.
At night, we had our dinner at the famous Mexican restaurant, TJ's Mexican. The food very nice. Especially the one I had, Chicken Fagitas RP55,000 together with Mango Tango RP12,000. Really enjoy the dinner. The environment of the restaurant also not bad. Even not having dinner, you can come for drinks.

We had lunch at Ibu Oka. You shouldn't miss this when come to Ubud. Is actually "Shao Zhu - 烧猪" in chinese dishes. But then the difference is the babi guling skin is softer than in Malaysia only and chruncy too. Yum Yum. Another must try is the Es Jeruk (mandarin orange juice). Eating babi guling while drinking es jeruk . OMG ~~~ mo tak tan ar .....
I must said, I really tried out all the famous restaurants in Ubud area. After checked in, we walked around the town and stopped by each of the restaurant to test the best recommended dishes of theirs.
We stopped by Tutmak Cafe for the famous coffee. Then we ate the killing chocolate cake at Wayan Cafe. I wondered who said so nice about the chocolate cake. Is a bit hard and very choco. However, I still think not as nice as other website describe. Feeling kena cheated. Damn, is not cheap also. Then we passed by very cute shop which sells tikar bags. I spend around RM90 there for 3 bags. After that, continue to makan journey. Stopped at Lotus Restaurant. Enjoying our drinks at the lotus plant pool side. The girls next to me seems very enjoy the waffle with ice-cream. She ordered 2 for herself. I wondered was is so nice. Maybe you can order when you go there next time.
We walked back to the hotel ourselves. Then had dinner at Warung Murni. The environment is splendid. It has several level for dining. We chose the lower dining area where you can see the river. However, be aware that a lot small insects when night comes. Nice food.

We joined the hotel early morning activity to Padi fields and villages. After check out, head to Bebek Bengil "dirty duck" restaurant (MUST TRY). Each set is Rp63000. Boon ordered Ice Bebek Putih Jambul also. It looks like ais kacang in Malaysia but the size is more big and the taste a bit difference. Chilling.
After that, we stopped by Sukawati Market. Here, you can get cheaper price for souvenir. Don;t buy at Ubud Market. It "Tong" tourist like mad. The girl wanna sell me the dress tag for Rp25000. However, I got it from Sukawati for RP3000. So you can see the difference. And most the things you see at Ubud Market also can get from Sukawati. Ask your driver bring you to there if you are in Ubud.
