It’s been a while since we had much work and were able to do much. We can’t go anywhere too far since covid-19 spread everywhere so we need to be cautious, keep a clean hygiene and boost our immunity. Hopefully this situation will get better. On my last weekend, my friend and I decided to have a staycation in Sudamala Suites & Villa Sanur. It isn’t too far from our office. It’s only about 7 minutes driving.

If you are looking for a relaxing ambience, Sudamala Suites & Villa is all you need. It’s located in Jl. Sudamala No. 20, Sanur – Bali and only about a 10 minute walking distance to the beach. When you check in, the receptionist team will welcome you with a warmth hospitality and help you with the registration. When you finish getting checked in, and once you are settled in the room, they will serve you the welcome drink, it was ice cinnamon tea.

We had a nice stay in a One Bedroom Garden Suite. You might need to check their website for the latest promotion available. The room was spacious and really beautiful. Not only was it perfectly clean, but it also smelled good and relaxing. Just from entering the room, we had already felt the Balinese modern ambience. The Balinese door, the decoration inside and even the little things like a bed runner and cushion case had Balinese motives. The room itself had a semi outdoor shower and a powder room completed with a wardrobe corner.

We spent our time relaxing and venting next to the pool, something girls typically love to do. We also had the chance to try their food and beverages. Aside from the breakfast in the next morning, we ordered dinner from their restaurant which was really good. It was overall a very beautiful stay with an amazing service and delicious food! I truly enjoyed this place.

Seafood in the US

If you live in America and you love crab and seafood, I’m sure you already know about Joe’s Crab Shack. To all of you who do not live in the US or have not heard of Joe’s Crab Shack, they’re located all over the US and are pretty well known to the common fish-eater. This was the second time I’d been there. The first time was in Vancouver WA, while this time was in New Jersey. If you’re taking a trip to the US and are in the mood for seafood, I would definitely recommend looking to see if there is a Joe’s Crab Shack in your location. Or, if you live in the US and haven’t tried it yet, you definitely should!

Joe’s Crab Shack has a nice beachy feel to it’s vibes. I mean, it should, right? It’s sea food. But they decorate the place so nice and the bucket they give you for your shells just kinda make it more fun! They also have a bar you can hangout at and try some of their fancy ocean-styled cocktails. Like most seafood restaurants, you can also order land meats like chicken, steak, burgers, etc. The price isn’t too bad for seafood. If you’re planning on getting a bunch of crab, it’s a bit expensive but they have some really good deals for certain items. My favorite type of seafood is fried oysters. I know, I know, I’m weird, right? It’s okay, you can make fun of me.

Now, I know I speak highly of this place but if you want my opinion on the best seafood restaurant I’ve ever been to, try Hook and Reel in Greenville North Carolina. I plan on making a new post about this place soon so stay tuned! 😁

Seniman Coffee Studio – Ubud

Seniman Coffee is the hangout place that you have to visit when you go to Ubud. It’s not only because it’s located in the central Ubud and is easy to access, it’s also because it’s coffee and chocolate are definitely worth a try. People like me who don’t like sweets, will love it too. I don’t particularly like chocolate drinks in general, I am more of a coffee person but in Seniman Coffee their chocolate isn’t too sweet for me. My friend ordered it so I tried it and I fell in love at the first sip. They served coffee and chocolate from all over Indonesia. If you are a vegetarian/vegan, they have choices of cashew and soy milk. Pretty interesting, right? 😊

Seniman Coffee Studio started in 2010 by Rodney Glick and David Sullivan. In Bahasa Indonesia, seniman means “artist”. It’s located in the centre of Ubud Jl. Sriwedari, about a 10 minute walk from the Ubud Art Market. If you love their coffee and wanna bring it home, they have a shop across the street where you can buy their product and bring them home. The additional service that they give is valet parking, if you can’t find the parking area, they would love to help you with free valet service.

There are some food and beverages that you can order such as Soto Ayam, Gado-gado, Nasi Bakar, Porridge, Burger, Quesadilla and of course the yummy pastry with range price from 40k – 80k, My friend and I spent about IDR 200,000 for 1 chocolate drink, 1 cappucino and 1 nasi bakar.

If you wanna visit, Seniman Coffee is open everyday from 7.30 am to 10.00 pm so you can come here for breakfast, lunch or even dinner.
