SISTERFIELDS BALI

I totally feel like this was the first ever trip where I actually could experience and bond with the Bali socials in a whole new perspective. Most of the times, I went to Bali for works and not really browse around the neighborhood and my fifth visit to Bali this year (referring to this particular one) was one of the best trips this year. That one week was well spent even though I still find it not enough :(. When in Bali, one week is just like four days, three other days you don't know where the fuck they go.

I happened to visit this cool restaurant/boutique cafe located in Seminyak named Sisterfields and yes I went here (again) with my dear friend, Aini - thanks for the companion, Aini! - and I think I fell for their cute design right on the spot, cafes with wood materials never fail to impress oh dear. The front-outdoor area of the restaurant (porch) might look sophisticated but the inside looked like a beautiful diner (not the cheap looking one but more like cute and playful with a twist of class). They also have another outdoor area at the back with several seating for two.

LURVE THIS AREA!!!

Look at them light!

Sisterfields cup

Back outdoor area, also with wooden tables and chairs. I found them to be incredibly sexy.

Say hi to Aini!

Sun was shining, the weather wasn't too sweet. Initially wanted to sit indoor but it was very packed and the photo of the interior above was taken right after we finished having lunch here (1,5 hours later).

Complimentary tap water.

I drank juice and mocktails among the trip and for some reasons it felt like the right time! Couldn't really seem to really enjoy juices and mocktails here in Jakarta, the feeling wasn't quite there!!! If I'm not mistaken I think I ordered the Apple Pineapple Ginger Lemon juice (IDR 40k). I was fond of this one for the amazing balance of sweet and sour and since it was quite refreshing :).

For the food, they're majority Western inspired comfort food only they do it their way! Since they're opening quite early, it's the place to go for fun, different and fancier breakie!

Tropical Fruit Salad
IDR 40k
This might look like the typical fruit salad, only obviously prettier looking and way tastier. The special thing about this fruit salad aside from the presentation was the usage of Coconut Bavarian cream that lived up the palate. This one you MUST order when you're here.

Sisterfields Dirty Burger

IDR 80k

When I was browsing the menu and eventually stumble on this one, I thought this was something special and very affordable and hell yeah it was very worth it. The beef patty was given double and they were incredible and super duper juicy, without any hesitation I must gave two thumbs up for the patty, the juiciness of the meat burst in your mouth along with the savoriness of the beef and the perfect seasoning. The buns were soft and fluffy and HELLO LOOK AT THEM CHIZ AND MUSTARD! Melting like lava eruption, ok total sex in the mouth.

The serving came with handcut fries and they're pretty good.

Philly Cheese Steak Baguette
IDR 85k
The winning star must be the perfectly cooked and seasoned Rib Eye! It was so tender, juicy and flavorful! The charred-caramelized onion and capsicum were also executed nicely and adding the fragrance and flavor. They used the Swiss cheese and Chipotle mayo as the dressing and somehow it matched well. This was good but the dirty burger was filthier in my opinion, the dirtier the freaking better!

For the quality that I experienced and the bill that I paid for, it was one hell of a delicious yet worth it lunch. For that price tag, it was still proper, not to mention that's the regular price of the restaurants and cafe these days both Bali and Jakarta. To cut things short, Sisterfields is one of the must visit spot when you're in Seminyak.

Getting here wasn't hard at all, it's located in Kayu Cendara road and near Monsieur Spoon, Bali Bakery or Seminyak Square. It's just 10 minutes walk from Petitenget street and 3 minutes walk from Motel Mexicola. They're opening daily from 7 AM and only until 5 PM! So either you come here for breakfast and lunch, they should be at least memorable :).

HABITUAL QUENCH AND FEED BALI

Everytime I write the Bali posts I always get excited. I don't know man, I think I am so in love with Bali right now, it might sound super melancholy and melodramatical but seriously, I think I left half of my heart in Bali and I can't wait to spend other glorious days there. Just got back from my super lovely trip from Bali last week and I spent one whole week there and when you're happy and having fun, one week feels like three freaking days :"( WHYYYYYY???

FYI I am planning to stay in Bali for one whole month next year, I wanna re-enact my failing attempt of "Eat Pray Love" few months ago -.-".

Anyway, this was such a holiday full of fun, days of relaxation, happiness and *ahem* eating (of course). I met up with a lot of friends there and one day I met up with my lovely friend, Aini and we planned to meet up at this popular brunch spot in Bali called Habitual. Aini has been raving about how good their food (specifically their burgers) is and since I have no doubt about Aini's taste for food, I couldn't wait any longer!

Habitual was not spacious, from what I saw, I think it could accommodate up to 20 people with two tables located outdoor, but there's something really homey that I love about it (technically it literally was a house) and the indoor area felt like a comfortable living room/dining room. I love the somehow vintage-quirky touch to the design, it's just beautiful and cool.

Getting here wasn't really hard, if you're from Kerobokan, you just need to keep straight after the first traffic light (left to Petitenget and the right one to T. Perahu), then make a left turn to the Umalas street and another left turn, they're located around the rice paddy field.

In case you're wondering, I edited the photos using my "Polar" action on my upcoming color project <3, stay tuned loves!

They do not WiFi here and they let the people know in the most humorous way with the signboards! There's this one shouting "No, we do not have WiFi, talk to each other, or pretend like it's 1993"

This is adorable

Citrus Mint Cooler

IDR 35k

Bali was seriously humid so I wanted something that's a little sour and flirty so I decided to go with this. This was indeed more to the flirty side to the sour side, but overall it was one hell of a refreshing day drink. LOVE!

As for the food, they're serving mostly American cuisine like sandwich, BLT, Burgers, all day breakfast, waffles, toasts, and steaks, or short to say, mostly delicious comfort food!

Baked Eggs with Pork (Non-Halal)

IDR 65k

We of course ordered the glorious burger so we opted for this one! This was really really good starting from the presentation to the flavor. As you can see, it's really appetizing (and I'm not complimenting my own picture), I think it was a a good decision to choose pork (and if you're allowed to have pork, you should), the meat was generous along with the mouthwatering-lava like sauce (I mean generous, not spicy), the sauce was just a little spicy, tangy and fragrant but overall had that perfect balance of savory. The eggs were still runny which again, another plus point. A portion came with two breads, for me, it's a must try.

Mushroom Cheese Burger
IDR 95k
This was the devil of the day, well as you can see it this looked so mouthwatering, filthy good and fattening but it's so damn good so what?! The patty was quite thick, cooked to perfection and seasoned awesomely! The mushroom and caramelized onion were cooked adorably with butter and still leaving the consistency to be juicy and flavorful, the cheese was also decent. Somehow I love the over-loaded appearance to this! Is it one of the best burgers I've tried? Well after this, I bet it is!

It was a splendid visit to Habitual. The food was amazing, the ambiance was lovely. From what I saw, the place wasn't really busy during lunch time comparing to the dinner time or weekend (as I heard they're super packed), this is one hidden gem that you'll be too silly to skipped at, definitely one of the best brunch places in Bali. As the pricing, I wouldn't say they're cheap but I guess they're affordable considering what you're getting, and please keep this is mind: they only accept cash as payment method.

Seminyak Italian Food Restaurant at Double Six Luxury Hotel Bali

As you know, I just got back from a splendid trip in Bali all thanks to Double Six Luxury Hotel for letting me to experience the best that it has to offer. I had so many stories to share but I'm going to keep you guys very-very excited because first, I am going to be reviewing this restaurant which you can call the current 'it' restaurant in Bali (Seminyak to be exact) and even cooler, the fact that it's actually a part of Double Six Luxury Hotel Seminyak! It's one of the five ventures located in there.

I don't know why but lately I have been feeling the urge to blog, I wouldn't say I got motivated but I just wanted to constantly update and the reason I'm doing this post first instead of the hotel review is because this has way less photos and I always love to write about food so yeah! This post I'm going to be talking about my culinary experience in Seminyak Italian Food starting from the breakfast, lunch to the dinner.

Robert Marchetti is the genius behind those F&B ventures in Double Six Luxury Hotel and he should be thanked hard for his presence and ideas. Besides Seminyak Italian Food, the other F&B outlets are Double Six Rooftop (coming on the next post), Sling Bar, Robert Marchetti The Plantation Grill and Lagoon Bar (the bar located beside the pool). For more detailed info about their F&B outlets, click here.

Seminyak Italian Food is located just above the lobby level and the whole floor's dedicated to the restaurant. There were major wood material application to the interior and exterior of the restaurant making it a little retro but incredibly sophisticated and in a way quirky with the illustrations and paintings. There's something that I can't explain but I love the ambiance of the restaurant, it felt so comfortable and belonging, unexpectedly during the night. Bali was on the coldest that I've ever experienced (literally no sweat!) and during the night you're going to find yourself swept gracefully by the breeze and it happened that the breeze was such a good company while I was enjoying my scrumptious dinner.

Ok nuff yakking... PHOTOS! Only showing you the day interior shots.

Super love the al fresco (outdoor) area of the restaurant with direct access to the view of the beach and the 120m pool.

 Best seat if you're alone or in couple.

BREAKFAST
Unlike most hotels, Double Six Luxury Hotel is apparently an anti-mainstream. They don't do buffet breakfast and instead they do "made to order" breakfasts and guests are allowed to choose what they want from the printed menu. Guests get to have:
- 2 items from the Cereals, Fruity and Pastry Drive By selections
- 1 savory menu
- Single choice of juice or tea/coffee

Grain Bread, this was fluffy, best served warm with butter or olive oil. I like mine with olive oil and a little pinch of salt.

 Left: salt and pepper container, Right: cute wet tissue to wipe the dirt out before eating.

I decided to go with their "Full Steam Ahead" set (IDR 110k) and on the plate are two organic scrambled eggs, cherry tomatoes, garlic mushrooms, chicken and pork sausage, thicked out grilled bacon and grilled asparagus. Generally this was good! The sausages (especially the pork one) was juicy and tender and the bacon was cooked crispy while still leaving certain parts to be tender. The organic scrambled eggs actually a tad creamier and in a sense, milkier for my liking. Other than that, this was a bliss in the morning.

 Mineral water, they're using Acqua Panna

Had to recharge myself with their "Dragon Fruit Juice" (IDR 55k - left), the juice consist of other mixes such as home made coconut milk, banana and honey. The texture was creamy but in the yummiest way, the overall flavor was really good, perfect sweetness and was just refreshing, I was kinda addicted to be honest. The one on the right was Mango Juice (IDR 35k) and it was nice and fresh like well made mango juices.

LUNCH

In Seminyak Italian Food, the lunch menu was different than the breakfast menu but it's pretty much the same for dinner service. The menu ranges nicely from Carpaccio, Salumi, Antipasto, Mozarella, Bringing Back Bruschetta, Pasta - Risotto, Roman Express (set menu), Secondi, Contorni (side dishes), Dolce, Dolce Piccola, Formaggio and those were a lot! It was tough to choose because everything were described equally yummy but we had to choose eh? If you want to see their menu you can click here.

Couldn't stop munching on these home made breads (complimentary). The stick ones were my favorite! Again, love mine with olive oil, salt and a little black pepper. Yumster! PS I loved that wooden bread basket.

Their cute olive oil bottle

CONTORNI: Crispy Potatoes, Rosemary, Garlic and Lemon Sea Salt 
IDR 60k
The potatoes were cooked beautifully and seasoned very lightly! You had crispy, moist, fragrant all in one plate.

PASTA

Generally their pastas came in huge portion, it so happens that they're applying the "love-to-share" Italian eating culture, I highly recommend you guys to order some and then share.

Spaghetti Vongole Pasta
IDR 120k
I love the moisture and the consistency of the pasta here in general, well I guess they produced well made homemade pastas! They were generally al dente so they're still a little firm and chewy. For this particular pasta, again, the clams were fresh and the overall seasoning was light but right on the spot.

Fresh Maltagliati
IDR 100k
This wet pasta was one of my favorites of the day. The pasta (Maltagliati) had this random shaped and had this thin Tagliatelle like texture, in a way like wonton but thicker. This consist of peas, shredded chicken with lemon and Thyme sauce dressing. Simply good, humble but delicious.

Spaghetti Marinata Marche Style (wrapped in cooking paper)

IDR 180k

Not sure if the paper they're using is parchment or not but I do love wrapped pasta, even though after you opened it might not be the most photogenic anymore but who cares? The filling was generous: mussels, prawns, fish, clams cooked with garlic, tomato and white wine sauce. I quite like this one except for the fish which I found a litte dry and wasn't on the freshest.

Fettuccine con Bologne

IDR 100k

Okay I gotta love this one. Concept wise, might be the most simple but flavor wise, lovely! The pasta was black pepper infused fettuccine with beef ragu in Bologna style cooking. The beef ragu had this nice savory flavor and the blackpepper pasta (even though I didn't really hint the black pepper flavor) was just perfectly al dente.

SECONDI

Uno Minuti Bistecca

Thin sliced Rib Eye steak with anchovy garlic butter and watercress salad dressing. The meat was marinated beautifully and executed as equal resulting this juicy and tender meat. Again, most of the food here was seasoned lightly but managed to hit that "oh good" state. Since this was the only Secondi served on the lunch, this one was my favorite.

DINNER
ANTIPASTI: Calamari Fritti
IDR 85k
Excuse me if I insult anybody here but from all the food I had on the breakfast, lunch and dinner, this one stole my heart the most! Technically it's deep fried coated calamari but it's something about the seasoning that really stood out. I mean I love Italian food, but I can't resist that I am Indonesian and I like bolder flavors and this one got me hooked right on the spot.

Arancini
IDR 80k
This food was actually deep fried cheese with spinach crispy rice balls. There were four kinds of cheese: Gorgonzolla, Feta, Parmesan and Asiatoo. As you guys know I am not a cheese eater but I decided to have this to try out, still pretty much cheesy for me but not how I expected this to be (which was good). This was a good appetizer.

Mozarella Burrata
IDR 140k
Another cheese course but since this is Mozarella - FYI Mozarella is THE ONLY type of cheese I could handle - I decided to man up and try this, and for the first time I would say that cheese is actually quite delicious, but no I am not a freaking convert now but this, with the mint, shallots and lemon salad was a good combination. You had tangy, sour, subtle, mild, fresh on a plate, something that cheese lovers shouldn't skip!

Everything We Have
IDR 120k
Everything We Have set consist of their fresh cold cuts and you could actually see the cutting process. The cold cuts were Salami, Beef Bresaola, Mortadella, Prosciuto . Generally fresh and tasty.

SECONDI: Lance di Pesce
IDR 190k
Excuse the unclear angle but it's actually a grilled seafood skewer, what makes this dish different from any other seafood skewers were the fact that they didn't use wooden stick, and instead they used Rosemary leaves as the skewer! No wonder why this food had this adorable rosemary scent in which it worked best with grilled food! The seasoning was adorable! It's just unfortunate that certain parts of the seafood was overburnt and bitter, and for IDR 190k you only got two skewers, kinda hefty for me.

DOLCE

Ciambelle Bambino
IDR 60k
This was their homemade doughnuts and ZOMG they were really good. Okay I might sound like dessert-biased but seriously you have to try this humble menu! It was so simple but so good!!! The bread was fluffy and soft, especially when you had it together with the Vanilla custard cream! Heaven! OMG WHY DO I HAVE TO WRITE THIS LATE I AM FREAKING HUNGRY! Seriously I would go to this place whenever I'm in Bali just to have this.

Tiramisu
IDR 90k
Their Tiramisu was actually very good in both texture and flavor. Creamy with bold consistency and flavor but I just found this to be a tad cheesy and milky for my liking, but from the first scoops, I knew this was good. If only I am more cheese resistant *sigh*.

Okay so there you have it! The scrumptious food I had in Seminyak Italian Food among my stay! Generally the food were good, very fresh, light, delicious. The only negative comment that I could give is the fact that the good was generally good, it lacked this memorable character to it (except the Calamari Fritti). I mean, I love bold flavors and usually those kind of food would stick with me and my mind, and then proceed to make me crave for more.

Okay I admit I am such a dessert-biased now I want their desserts!

The buzz of this restaurant is pretty big right now and I would still happily recommend you to go here and try their food or at least their ambiance, do the trying and let you palate do the talking and decide later for the upcoming. Even when I have the time and happen to be in the Seminyak area, I would love to go back here and have more lunch, there are several menus that I am still curious at when I was browsing through their digital menu which you can read here.

GREAT NEWS FOR THE GORGEOUS LADIES! Currently every Wednesday they're having the Ladies Night promotion, so by the end of your dinner the staff will come to you along with two dices for you to throw, if you're lucky enough to get the "double six", your bill's waived off! In this case, luck matters LOL!

Special thanks to Seminyak Italian Food for hosting this lovely session. It was such a bliss to be able to dine here and stay tuned for the full hotel review. I am working on it, just so many photos to select.

Good night and have delicious dreams treaters! Ciao!
