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.
