Balinese getaway..
Last Saturday hubby took me to Ole-Ole Bali. My second visit, but the first one for him.
Initially we wanted to try Tarbush, but later we found out that it will be officially open on April 8th, so we were few days early. Wendy is far more congested, and I thought I need a more peaceful place to dine on a cosy weekend together.We could always fight for queue at JCo Donuts afterwards.
So there we were, as we stepped into the restaurant, hubby already began to analyze the deco.I think it would be a fantastic place for a first date or to meet an old pal.
We were spoilt with choices honestly. The moment the waitress handed the menu. my hubby said choosing the meal would be difficult for him. Well here, you can choose whether you want to choose the typical Baliness cuisine, or western delights. But which ever choice you made, I can assure you you get Balinese taste in it.
I love the ambience. The dim lights, the traditional indonesian music and the sound of flowing water lulls into slumber. It was good to feel you're away from the hustle bustle of the city for a while. We choose to dine the conventional way, sat side by side on plush pillows and took time to scan the menu while I did a little preview of what I tried before here and what he should try.
So finally he settled for Rib Eyed steak, well done with the richest flavour or heavily marinated in turmeric and various herbs. Served with salad, with taste more like acar to me with a slice of watermelon and the winning brown sauce. Brown sauce tu memang sedap!
previously I tried Seafood Platter during my first visit, so this time I tried Salmon Steak pulak. I have a strong inclination towards seafood these days. I suggest you to go for seafood platter, you could try everything right from the prawns, squids and dory fish deep fried. I think they include the brown sauce in almost every menu.
So for the dessert, I tried rambutan jelly.
I like the fact that this dessert comprises of cincau, rambutan and a hint of ginger. The mint leaves is for a garnishing, but if you soaked it long enough, you will have the coolest drink, but in a very sensationally refeshing but not the brain freezing way.
Hubby tried ice blended pulut hitam. Sedap jugak. he suggested that we tried to make our own pulut jagung ice blended next time. Agak-agak boleh rasa sedap macam ni jugak ke?
Overall, I think we're quite happy with the service. End up paying RM77.00 for meal for two. Takpe la..for a special day ...jarang dapat spend quality time fine dining dengan hubby!
Tried it,ok!
