W BALI SPF DAY PARTY 2014!

Advertorial
If you happen to be in Bali on July 27th, make sure you don't miss the annual SPF event by W Retreat and Spa Bali as this year's SPF is predicted to be hotter than ever with performances from famous international DJs like Dubfire from the USA and Miss Kittin (OH I LOVE MISS KITTIN) from France!

Frankly speaking, aside from this promotional purpose, I do listen to Dubfire and Miss Kittin. Miss Kittin has the most quirky (almost nonsense) songs -especially the lyrics - but in the same time very addicting! Just listen to her hit "Requim For A Hit" and you'll understand what I'm saying.

I think this is just one event NOT WORTH SKIPPING and WORTH COMING FOR. You deserve a little rest and a lotta party man!

DUBFIRE, this man is highly known for his dark, techy rhythms! I don't think this man needs anymore introduction as he's the DJ's DJ for his peers and electro music fans! Just in case you don't know, he's the member of the Grammy award-winning duo, Deep Dish!

MISS KITTIN, one of the most inspiring DJ on earth! 

The event will be held mainly at the gorgeous Woobar!
You know what? It's funny that I am actually typing this in W because I am currently on my birthday trip - and just so you know this ain't sponsored - and just earlier today I went to Woobar to have some drinks, I've said this so many times but in case you didn't read my post about Woobar, it's one of the bars that serve THE BEST DRINKS! Their cocktails and mocktails are super refreshing. Nuff yakking, PHOTOS!

When I was sitting around sipping my drinks, I met some of the peeps and it felt so nice that some of them still remembered me (you know it when they mentioned your name), so humble of them! :). Talk about hospitality!

Mandarin Sour, my favorite drink here! Light, sour with earl grey tea infused :D.

Strawberry Champagne

Cheers to awesome life!
This was a complimentary beverage from them (didn't know the name), again, not heavy, it was sparkling light and indeed sour but with the cotton candy to balance your palate :). You should order this when you're here!


SWEET SURPRISE! Right after having my scrumptious birthday dinner at Fire (it was just a perfect dinner from appetizer to dessert TOP NOTCH!), I came back to my room and unexpectedly found this on the table! SO VERY SWEET OF THEM! Full post coming soon!

If you want to know how exciting the event was last year, here's a video for you to see!


Whipped cream to the ice cream, the event will be featuring firework display and light show, which will brighten the shore line of Seminyak beach!

Wait... did I mention that there is NO entrance fee?
Yes, it's FREE for everyone! Just come and dance over the beat and the cocktails at Bali's HOTTEST SUMMER PARTY! I might see you there! WOOHOO!

PS: SPF is part of W Bali's Woobar Summer Series, which is a new offering of bespoke music events that kicked off from June 15th and will be held monthly until September 15th!

Hawker House Street Feast Brunch at Fire, W Retreat and Spa Bali

After sending you guys some postcards from Bali, I am now back to give you the full report! Not exactly full but this post will be the main reason why I was back to Bali!

But I gotta tell you upfront: no business, pure fun!

Bali was absolutely humid during the day but it was just great during the morning.

So one of the reasons I got invited back to W Bali was because they're launching this fun brunch concept called "Hawker House Street Feast Brunch" which will be available every Sunday from 12 - 3.30 PM! The brunch will be showcasing some of Peter Lloyd's Mediterranean-Pan Asian cuisines with a twist of Balinese to the feast. The brunch will be held every Sunday at one of W Bali's famous in house restaurants, Fire!

If you've been here before, then you're probably familiar with this. Good old awesome quirky W!


Okay, since the brunch was held on the day, it was seriously friggin humid, but that didn't stop us from abusing the food here, I don't know why but I tend to get hungry easily whenever I am in Bali. Everything looks so delicious you just want a bite!

As hot as it could be, the sky was just so blue and mild and Fire was burning hot and 'magically' transformed into this market style restaurant. This was their cocktail section where you could have bottomless cocktails just for you!


The Masala section.


What you call everyday Market scene. Fresh veges all the way...

....and fruits...

 
...and wines.


One of my favorite sections! The Asian Wok section.

 Popcorn booth!



Some treats from the Barbeque Section!





Each table was served with boiled peanuts, simple but very addicting, this is like what you need to have before you're officially Indonesian validated... jokester!

Fresh juices along the way! Bottom-freaking-less. Beaches with fresh juices? Tick!

They seriously have superb grilled selections. Me loving this grilled pork skewers, so simple but the meat and the seasoning was just perfect! The meat was on the medium well state, very tender, juicy and I'm hungry now.


The excitement doesn't stop on the pork, the cod here...amazing as well! Perfect cooking and seasoning state, awesome complex and unique flavor but eventually faded to awesome, this was just impressive!

Egg Benedict with pork, another stunner!


W's signature Es Campur was also freaking beautiful! You could choose between the good old Es Campur with shaved ice tower or this one that I ordered, more like a fruit soup with coconut milk but the flavor was just awesome! It's totally fruity mixed with milky flavor but not overpowering, and best thing that you could custom as much topping as you want. Talk about personal satisfaction!


Juices on test tubes. Presentation master.

Loving this raspberry cocktail, it was not very strong (since I am not a keen drinker), the flavor was just sparkling, fruity and yet refreshing, perfect for a hot day.


Cocktails in hampers, now this is one badass cocktail.

You could have as much seafood as you want in the brunch, they were amazingly fresh! You can never have too much seafood.

Cocktails by the beach! Made especially for this brunch event by the great W Bali's very own mixologist, Yudi Hendarsyah. This guy's such a genius!

No way ending this post without photo with the star of the serving, Chef Peter Lloyd! He's such a humble guy! We went to Pod Chocolate (post coming soon) together and got the chance to know him better personally, Off kitchen, he's this fun guy with big sense of humor!


And if you follow my Instagram, I told you guys that I will be on the same event with THE MOST FAMOUS BLOGGER in Asia, Brad Lau from Lady Iron Chef, he's also very humble! It's nice to know this person with so many achievements and talent. He has been blogging for about 7 years (now that's commitment) but look at him, he probably doesn't even weigh as much as I do FML.
Ah, just the perfect day to go to the beach! Ironically I am typing this in the busy Jakarta, everytime I see this I need to fly back to the (W)oohooland! Always been mad mad mad busy in J-town.

I highly recommend The Hawker House Street Feast Brunch, please don't see this as an ad just because I got sponsored, take it as a suggestion from yours truly ;). The food was indeed really nice, the ambiance was just lovely, but frankly speaking, you might not want to use something very closure, just relax, wear something comfortable and try your best to avoid black like I did T_T (I was sweating like mad).

Come to Fire at W Retreat and Spa Bali and enjoy the feast at The Hawker House Street Feast Brunch every Sunday, 12 - 3.30 PM for IDR 425k++/person.

THANK YOU W RETREAT AND SPA BALI FOR THE KINDNESS. Seriously guys, you left a big mark on my heart <3.
