Bali’s top 30 for the holiday season!

Eng | Bahasa

It’s that time of the year again! Like they say, “A little bit of summer is what the whole year’s all about”, and this time, summer coincides with the Muslim religious holiday, Eid-al-Fitr. Since this is a festival that most of Indonesia celebrate, holiday-hotspot Bali will surely be buzzing with tourists from all over — expect some places to be packed like sardines! To prepare yourself, book the best restaurants beforehand so you won’t go home on an empty stomach. Here are some great places to celebrate the holiday season!

Ubud

Kemiri Restaurant (COMO Uma Ubud)

Welcome to the land of yoga and wellness. Take a stroll through Campuhan Ridge Walk, enjoy the lush scenery, and unplug for a bit. Afterwards, you can have an authentic Indonesian lunch at Hujan Locale, Kemiri, Nomad, or The Restaurant at the Chedi Club Tanah Gajah.

It’s time for some Bali-exploration! Be captivated by a kecak dance performance or visit the cheeky Ubud Monkey Forest for the ultimate Bali experience! After that, drop by the Habitat Cafe for a healthy and refreshing meal. But, if you feel like lazing the day away, sink into cool waters and watch the time fly by at Folk, or better yet! Enjoy stunning Ubud alongside Bali’s acclaimed sunset at Sayan House. Reservations are essential but fret not, we’ve got your back. Book your dinner at the best of Ubud — BLANCO par Mandif, Kubu at Mandapa, Pica, and bridges will be your best bets.

Seminyak

Mrs. Sippy Bali

Oh my, we seriously don’t know where to start. Seminyak is such a fun area to explore! Experience the largest saltwater pool at Mrs. Sippy, grab a quick bite at Bo & Bun, or put on your sunnies and sip on a cold rosé while enjoying a delightful meal at Ijen, whereby zero wastage is promoted to lower carbon footprint. Wander around Jl. Kayu Aya and pick your favourites from a treasure trove — from traditional handmade souvenirs to designer boutiques, you name it, this street has it. You won’t be lacking dinner options here in Seminyak with Mamasan, Sarong, Da Maria, and Barbacoa being definite favourites. When you’ve had your fill, dance the night away at La Favela, but don’t forget to snap some shots at the cute photobox on the second floor!

Canggu

From_the_Land_Tongseng_Kambing_1554128131
SVÁ Indonesian Tapas & Bar

If Seminyak and Ubud were to have a child, Canggu would be their baby. Start your day right by joining a barre class or relax through sunrise flow yoga at Fitspot Bali. Then, move on to indulge in great food at all-time favourite cafe Milk & Madu at Jl. Pantai Berawa, or enjoy a caffeine boost amidst ravishing rice fields at Cinta Cafe. Another must do is renting a motorbike and visiting the bustling local flea market around Batu Bolong area — like they say, reuse and recycle! Spend the rest of your afternoon lounging and watching the sunset from the beautiful La Brisa, surf at Echo Beach, or lay back and relax at the sophisticated COMO beach club. Spoil your taste buds with an exotic twist on traditional Indonesian flavour at SVÁ Indonesian Tapas & Bar. If Japanese is your thing, modern restaurants Musubi and Ji are some of the eateries we take delight in.

Kuta

Screen_Shot_2018_06_29_at_11_5_1531913996
Il Tempio Bali

The jewel of Bali, the one that first brought the island to fame. Take a walk along the beach and splurge a little at the Beachwalk Shopping Mall *wink*. When hunger strikes, pay a visit to our favourite Italian places — Il Tempio and Jamie’s Italian Bali are just around the corner. Waterbom Bali is a One-of-a-Kind experience you just have to try in the city, and we believe you deserve a medal for completing the thrilling 5GX Reverse Bungy without throwing up. Treat yourself to a delicious meal of juicy, tender dry-aged meat at Henry’s Grill and Bar, or stuff your face at Feast Restaurant, located in Bali Kuta Resort. We hope you brought your dancing shoes, because LXXY is a glamorous nightclub not to be missed.

6 Healthy Yet Tasty Restaurants for Guilt-Free Dining

It’s been almost six months since we promised to hit the gym, lose a few kilos, or lead a healthier lifestyle. We round up a list of healthy restaurants that don’t compromise on flavour — equally useful whether you’ve kind of slacked off in that regard, or just need an idea for where to take the not-yet-converted to eat.

 

1. Original Sin

Mediterranean WrapPasta

This Lorong Mambong staple — it’s more than 20 years old — consistently serves up delish Mediterranean dishes with an Italian vibe. The best part? It’s vegetarian, and some recipes can even be vegan or gluten-free. The Moussaka (eggplant-meat casserole) is a classic, but if you are craving something rich (but waistline-friendly), try the Zucca Fettuccine, or zucchini pasta. Don’t forget to check out the lunch deals, which make a trip here hard to resist.

Find it at Blk 43 #01-62 Jalan Merah Saga, Chip Bee Gardens, Singapore 278115.

2. Verde Kitchen

Verde Kitchen Vietnamese PhoVerde Kitchen Avocado Composition.jpg

#SupportLocal by dining in this latest offering from the Hilton, where the half the menu features local and sustainably sourced ingredients. Eat salads, soups and mains packed with superfoods like kale and pomegranate. We like the Avocado Composition, which shines the spotlight on a hearty avocado dressing over tangy grapefruit, heirloom tomatoes and couscous. On cheat days, we’d opt for the Super Food Grilled Haloumi, reassured that even then, it’s not that bad for our calorie intake.

Find it at 581 Orchard Road, Level 2, Hilton Singapore, Singapore 238883.

The menu is comprehensive, running the gamut from appetisers to desserts. The TLC ‘Cheese’ Burger is a work of art, getting the taste and texture of a hearty beef burger without using meat or cheese. Other recommended dishes: the Guacamole Flax Seed Chips, Honey Glazed Chicken Whole Wheat Wraps, and the dozens of healthy desserts on offer.

Find it at 779 Bukit Timah Rd, Singapore 269758.

5. Lingzhi Vegetarian

Sautéed Fresh Cordyceps Huai Shan and Winged BeansPoached Mixed Rice with Vegetables
Say ‘vegetarian’, and Westernised salads and cold cuts come to mind. But there are days when we just want warm and hearty food, the kind that reminds us of our grandmother hovering over stoves, making our favourite dishes. Lingzhi does just that: the meat might be fake but the tastiness is real. The best part is that the recently revamped restaurant doesn’t rely on additives or gluten to give us texture; the chefs now emphasise organic, fresh ingredients to pack in that flavour. If you don’t believe us, try the Peking Duck or Lasagna and see for yourself!

6. Santap

Beef Rice BowlSantap Flatlay

This hip, halal and health-conscious joint in Little India offers rice bowls with a South Asian spin. Having an Instaworthy cafe with its semi-industrial vibe doesn’t hurt either. There are fewer worries about losing the war on diabetes here — the ‘rice’ is either wholegrain brown rice or cauliflower florets, and the accompaniments flavourful, whether its fresh salmon, lean beef or tender lamb. For those with smaller appetites, sandwiches are on offer, as is an array of freshly squeezed juices.

Green and Good: Vegetarian Eats

As a meatatarian, I’ve always wondered if the grass is greener on the other side. After all, avoiding an entire portion of the food pyramid has always seemed very much like limiting your choices. And indeed, when I undertook a mission to look for good, green food for Vegan Month, it definitely took some serious (soul) searching.

Perhaps meat and I are never meant to part, but that doesn’t mean that there isn’t room for alternatives. The same goes for everyone, be it pure vegan, vegetarian, or even just a regular omnivore feeling peckish for some green food. The road to healthy greens is long, but those embarking on the journey can check out these nine vegetarian-friendly restaurants to get a good dose of healthy eating.

Restaurant Ards

This new Asian fine-dining establishment is located along Duxton Road and helmed by a mighty pair of chef-owners Ace Tan and David Lee with a mission to celebrate Asia’s rich variety of culinary cultures and exquisite techniques with the world. Their vision is to bring nature to the table, which means the freshest of ingredients. Of course, this includes all things green!

As a vegetarian-friendly restaurant, there is a special 15-course vegetarian dinner apart from their normal dishes which you have to book 2 days in advance for! (Trust me, it’s worth it.) With dishes named Touch of Asia and The Art of Roots, you’ll definitely be in for a treat.

Find it at 76 Duxton Road, Singapore (089535)
Book a table at Restaurant Ards and earn 2X Chope-Dollars with code TASTYBLOG.

 

Cafe Salivation

If the name doesn’t make you drool, it just means you haven’t been there. This casual dining place has found the secret to drool-worthy healthy food that keeps customers coming back for more. The most amazing part? It is completely, 100% vegetarian.

With bright and bold aesthetics and an equally disarming mix of Mexican, Asian, and Italian cuisines available on the menu, Cafe Salivation does not disappoint. The Enchiladas Remo or Desi Sandwich will surely have you hooked!

Find it at 176 Race Course Road, Singapore (218607)
Book a table at Cafe Salivation and earn 2X Chope-Dollars with code TASTYBLOG.

Open Farm Community

A unique combination of urban farmland, horticultural hub, and restaurant, this concept is a revolutionary collaboration between the Spa Espirit Group, celebrity chef Ryan Clift, and award-winning food garden specialists, Edible Garden City. The food here is a fresh as you can get, and you can admire the sprawling gardens as you tuck in. There’s a strict no-no policy towards processed ingredients, imported produced, and unsustainable farming practices which means that everything is locally-sourced and, I repeat, absolutely fresh!

While Open Farm Community isn’t 100% vegefied, there are more than enough vegetarian dishes to satisfy the most discerning of palates! (And if you’re like me and have lesser willpower, take a stab at some of the meat dishes too. Shhh.)

Find it at 130E Minden Road, Singapore (248819)

Real Food

What does it mean to eat real food? This popular cafe-bistro demonstrates with plate after plate of juicy burgers, hearty stews, and rich pastas. Take the idea that vegetarian = salad and throw it out the window right now! This place turned my belief in the deliciousness of meat upside down. Turns out, you don’t need to eat meat to have a delicious and satisfying meal. Hands-down, this is now at the top of my list for luncheons. But don’t leave just yet! Take a sip at their wonderful selection of aromatic teas and tisanes. After such a heartening meal, a hot cup of Listen to Your Heart tea sounds heavenly.

Afterglow

Since we’re talking about vegetarianism, why not push the boundaries a little and go vegan? And with the impressively innovative dishes at Afterglow, they’ll have you forgetting that you’re tucking into cuisines that are meat-free and void of any animal by-products. You really need to applaud their creativity, and boy do those efforts pay off. What to try: Raw Vegan Nut ‘Cheese’ Platter with Crackers and Afterglow Kimchi Nori Rolls (psst, the rice is not rice). Fans of desserts need not fret either because their Raw Chocolate Salted Caramel Fudge is 100% indulgence with 0% guilt.
