Slip off your shoes and sink your feet in the pool as your table gets decorated with sumptuous Japanese-inspired dishes. From land to sea, you can be sure that your food is freshly harvested and caught.

Breakfast didn’t earn its ‘most important meal of the day’ reputation for nothing, especially when you wolf it down at places like Kilo Bali!

The open-air cafe is distinguished by its unconventional and modern minimalist architecture that challenges the traditional landscape and offers a quiet respite away from all the hustle and bustle.

This cafe is never restful during the day (it attracts big crowds for date nights), but it does not mean that their meals are less appealing during day time.

Kilo Bali serves you the good as from 8am with non-traditional breakfast items too – if you are up for some heavy meals prior to your exploration day (that means you can save up and not have lunch too), you should definitely give a go to their Poke Bowls that are packed with goodness like tuna tartare, salmon, eggs and more!

And why not a Lamb Taco? Joking! We mean Bacon French Toast, but we would not judge you one bit if you chose their Duck Taco for breakfast too Don’t miss out on their fresh fruit options that come in different versions – chopped in bowls with granola, squeezed in glasses with ice or whole on platters to share!

A must try: Neon Palm’s Avocado Toast. Why? Because Neon Palm’s version is a tad bit more extra – it comes with savoury halloumi, shaved ricotta, tomatoes and dukkah sprinkles (a mixture of ancient Egyptian spices), match this with one of their healthy drinking potions and you are sorted for your most important meal of the day!

Dine like the locals

Local Balinese food in Seminyak at their finest, including pork dishes as well as halal and Muslim-friendly restaurants!

22. Legendary chicken rice since 1963: Nasi Ayam Kedewatan Ibu Mangku

True to its name, this eatery only sells “Nasi Ayam” (chicken rice) – with various selections for you to try!

The ambience of this place completes the whole “eat like a local” experience. You will be enjoying a deliciously authentic plate of chicken rice in a traditional Balinese dining setting.

The chicken rice is served with Balinese vegetables, skewered minced chicken, fried chicken, pindang eggs, peanuts, betutu sauce, and of course sambal chili!

If you can’t stand spiciness, just omit the sambal from your plate.

The chicken rice is so delicious that you won’t realise that you are down to your last bite!

23. You’re not experiencing Bali without Babi Guling!: Babi Guling Jero Kawan

Going to Bali without trying babi guling feels incomplete.

So, for those of you who are non-Muslim, it is a MUST to try this special dish that only exists in Bali!

Although there are many babi guling restaurants/food stalls scattered throughout Bali, Babi Guling Jero Kawan, which originally comes from Mengwi, is one of our favourites.

One of the reasons is because the seasoning is stronger and more flavourful than other babi guling restaurants. Plus point – it is not too oily so it doesn’t make you feel sick if you eat too much.

A portion of Babi Guling Jero Kawan consists of fried roasted suckling pig offal, cassava leaves, lawar and spicy green chilli sauce. It will also be served with delicious balung pork soup with tender meat.

The crispy skin is our favourite!

Babi Guling Jero Kawan (Sunset Road)

Price: Food starts at Rp. 40,000 (Approximately USD$2) | Drinks start at Rp. 10,000 (Approximately USD$1)

Never mess with the power of a good hair blowout! Pair that with a glass of good alcohol, and you can conquer almost anything.

25. Where to have your dream brows done: Eyebrow Bali

So you’ve got tiny brows? Whether you can blame it on your over-plucking (guilty!) or on your genes (thanks, mama), you’ve now got two options:
1. Happily accept your brows as they are, or
2. Make them look on fleek with a microblading session at Eyebrow Bali.

If I have not personally tried them out, I sure did hear positive reviews about their services. You’ll sign up for a natural look as the therapist fills in your overly-plucked eyebrows and gives them a full and flawless look.

Other treatments include eyeliner and lip embroidery but they do ace shaping your arches in a quick session (don’t forget to drop by for touch-ups before flying back home!).

26. Forgot your mascara? Eyelash extension it is!: Glo Day Spa

We all love a good waterproof mascara and curler but sometimes we might need help from eyelash magicians like the ones at Glo Day Spa.

I’ve come across them while looking for a place to get some eyebrow threading done while in Bali so this is how I read about all their awesome reviews regarding their eyelash extensions.

Photo Via Sasha_navetnaya

Apparently, you’ll ditch your forever loved Maybelline Great Lash mascara after getting your eyelashes fixed at Glo Day Spa. The experts here will add on more lashes per eye – the extensions are made from silk fibres which are individually applied to each lash using a gentle yet long-lasting adhesive.

Be ready to turn your most sparse of lashes into a flirtatious set of peepers (of course, you can also ask for a more natural look!). You won’t stop winking!!
