We’ve returned to Bali for the third time and first time to stay in Ubud.  On our second night we discovered this alternative-looking cafe up the street from our home stay and had been visiting it everyday!  The food is a wide selection of healthier choices of both modern Balinese and umphed-up old-time favourites.  It is centrally located along Jalan Hanoman amongst a variety of other restaurants, cafes, shops and temples.

If you look on the top left of this photo, there is a funny sign, amongst many all over the cafe.

The food offerings are quite interesting and reasonably priced.

Jamu.  My favourite drink in Bali, is a traditional medicinal drink for the Javanese and Balinese people.  It has many varied ingredients – a mixture of spices, roots, fruits and vitamins.  Local people on these islands drink it to maintain health, mind-body balance, energy and strength.  When drank regularly it promises to keep your health worries away!  I love its tangy and refreshing taste.

Breakfast of Gravad Lax and eggs, anyone?

A hearty portion of Greek salad.

A Middle Eastern pita.  These are just for starters.  This place is relaxing (at times) as it can get crowded and warm indoors.  But it’s rarely loud.  Most of the crowd at this cafe seemed like they either just finished their yoga session or they are just chilling for another yoga session later in the day.  It attracts both the young and old, and mostly the ‘alternative’ crowd.
