Kuta House


Get Your Satay on at Kuta House

Mention the word Kuta to a surfer or a globetrotter and the first thing that comes to mind is the Balinese fishing village turned beach resort. The folks behind Kuta Satay House & Wine Bar are looking to get the same name recognition from diners with their new spot on the Lower East Side.

With a menu that gives shoutouts to various Indonesian locales and a dining room decked out with Balinese masks, it's clear where Kuta's heart lies. Like an ambitious Peace Corps worker, Kuta's bill of fare also makes stops in Korea, Thailand, India and Malaysia -- and that's just the satay page.

Gothamist's ordering strategy on our first visit skewed heavily toward the list of a dozen skewers. Peppery chunks of chicken tandoori were super tender, though a sidecar of cucumber relish could have used a bit more zing. Soy-brushed Indonesian chicken madura was good, but couldn't touch the stellar tandoori.

Lombok spicy seafood mix is named for the island that's home to the restaurant's namesake city of Kuta. And what a mix, the combination of chili lemongrass tiger shrimp, scallop and cuttlefish crammed onto the skewer was so good we briefly considered packing our bags and heading to Bali to learn how to surf. The sole disappointment among the satay was the Indonesian beef Madura, bits of tough chewy flank steak slicked with peanut sauce and topped with crispy shallots.

We also tried the Jimbaran crab cake, named after a Balinese city renowned for its fresh seafood. The gigantic disk of crab meat packed was a powerhouse of Indonesian spices and barely needed the chili aioli sauce. We had high hopes for the Kuta burger, but were disappointed. While it was a good burger, the only thing Asian about it was the spicy dipping sauce. If the chef could get the meat to sing with the same flavor as that crab cake then Kuta would have a burger tasty enough to make any surfer shout, "Cowabunga!"

Barong Dance


Barong dance

Barong is character in Bali mythology. It is king from souls and also symbolise kindliness. He represent enemy Rangda in Bali mythology. Banas Pati Rajah is soul consorting a child in life.

Bedugul


Bedugul Wanajaya

Bedugul is a countryside name. But the many people which of opinion other; dissimilar with word Bedugul. A lot of which spell out members That Bedugul is lake name, temple name or even the market name. But in balinese language, bedugul mean "penis", this is strange, right???

That ascription emerge probably because besides as a countryside, Bedugul also is a complex. In a area which more or less have diameter 5 km, there are some kinds of place drawing to be visited. Started from Desa Bedugul itself, Kebon Raya, and Lake Beratan ( second biggest lake in Bali), Pura Ulun Danu, and Traditional Market Candi Kuning

Wide fair to middling Existing Kebon Raya here. Even if according to myself, far flung. From back part to back part of Kebon Raya if we walking can pass the time 20 minute. Here there are hundreds of plant species, start from beautiful for example flower rose till which ’ thormy horo’ and also there.

Lake Beratan according to very attractive me also. Besides its water is fresh, we can rent speed boat which can be brought by self or can also rent guide to usher us. Its own boat are immeasurable. There are rowing boat, boat of machine or motorboat

Traditional Market Candi kuning is a place which suited for buying present especially fruit. Bedugul known as a fruit producer. There are strawberry, maize, markisa, etc. All in one "deh"...

Actually, most matter draw in Bedugul is its air is very chilled. Others its landscape is which can see almost entire/all Bali. If in java, Bedugul possible loo like Puncak (West java, Indonesia)

Nusa Dua Bali

Crystal clear water and stretches of white sandy beach of Nusa Dua makes Nusa Dua a perfect spot for luxurious resorts to which your exhausted bodies, after a Barong performance at Batubulan and a long climb of the steps of the Mother Temple Besakih, will want to rest. Some of the most sumptuous and luxurious hotels in the world find their home in Nusa Dua Bali. You can relax in the Thalasso spa of the Grand Mirage Resort after a day of surfing or diving. Or you can tee off into the sunset, while watching the gentle waves come from the blue sea and caress the banks surrounding the luscious greens. Tranquil swimming pools under the coconut trees seem to be one with the distant blue sea. Art galleries and numerous shops surround them.

In Bali, Nusa Dua is the place to stay in style.
