23 July 09 | Mastapa Garden Hotel - Kuta Beach - Jimbaran Bay - Green Grass Spa

We started our journey from Damansara to LCCT about 7.45am. We were actually late about 1/2hour because our flight was on 9.25am and we need to check-in by 8.25am. You can imagine, how fast the driver drove ... to ensure we managed to catch the flight. Well, let the pictures do the talking and enjoy. =)

Due to the rush-ness, I didn't manage to catch any breakfast, not even a cup of milo. And I was super hungry when I board the plane. Even a normal nasi lemak also became so delicious, like the one at Madam Kwan.

We reached Denpasar, Bali after 3 hours of flight. Thanks for a safe journey!

The counters on the right were all the money exchange counters and they will be shouting as if they were selling bus tickets. Just like the counters at Puduraya, shouting and promoting.

Me and Emeryn at Gunung Sari Restaurant - airport, while waiting for my hubby and gang to arrive. Their flight was 1.5 hours later than us.

Iced campure ~ worth 12,500 rupiah. Equivalent to our Rm3.50. Still ok.. but I still think the one at my hometown is still the best. Hehe..

Iced Cendol ~ Also 12,500 rupiah. Their cendol is a bit different than the one in Msia. Theirs look more like green jelly and cut into strips.

Finally, everyone arrived and we left the airport to our hotel, Mastapa Garden Hotel at Kuta, Bali. The road in Bali was super small, they even call one of their roads jalan tikus. You can imagine how small is a tikus is, and that's how they describe the road, one small lane road but used as two lanes. That's absolutely dangerous!


Our hotel's swimming pool. This hotel doesn't have any stars but cheap. We paid 350000 rupiah per person for a twin sharing bed for 3 days 2 nights. Cheap? Don't expect too much from a cheap hotel, look at how much you pay and that's what you get. We were so afraid to use the bathroom cause of the condition, that we actually enrolled in two nights of Spa and ensure that the Spas provide free bath so that we can escape ourselves from bathing in the hotel's toilet. This was so funny.

We quickly unpack our bags, change to seaside clothes and then, sightseeing in the Kuta town.
Kuta town ...


Kuta beach ~ good for surfing and beware of the strong waves... the waves can actually act as a free back massage for you. FOC and strong....

Mei Yin, me and Emeryn.... Such a perfect weather for beach!

Look at all the angmo's turned from white to red to black!

Brilly and Justin ~ tis view was superb and breathtaking! Check out the reflection... amazing!

After beach... look at how much we had to pay. If I need to kencing + cuci kaki, I need to pay RP2000. Expensive or cheap? They are so good in categorizing....

I paid RP1000 for a shoot of water.... After washing our legs, we headed to Jimbaran Bay for our dinner. This place was highly recommended by our friends due to the delicious and fresh seafood.

Choose the types of seafood that you want and all are weight in KG. The crabs were super expensive, about RM200 for two only. I wonder what king crab is that. So, we eliminated crabs..With Rm200, you can easily enjoy 5 meals of crab in KL. Haha.... Finally, we ordered 1 big sotong bakar, 1 big fried sotong, 1 garoupa cooked with sweet sour sauce, 1 ikan merah bakar and 5 big prawns bakar.
Justin holding the dead lobster...

After ordered the food, proceed to the beach and this was were you will be seated. So romantic especially night time and really good for couple! Just like baywatch..

Me, Mei Yin, Emeryn and Brilly ~ Coconut drink is a must at beach....

While waiting for our food to arrived...

Justin and Brilly...


Thanks to Brilly... if he was not the first person to try this, we will miss out the awesome spicy honey jagung bakar at Bali! This jagung was so good that you will not find the similar taste anywhere else. Only in Jimbaran. Make sure if you were here, try the spicy jagung bakar. Too delicious to be denied and pay only RP10,000. Not too expensive, but worth it!

Look at the appetizing food... I really love the food here so much! If I were to go back Bali again, I will go to Jimbaran Bay for the seafood, Spa and also beach!

Brilly : I'm enjoying the every bite of tis jagung!

Sotong bakar ~


The band behind were not free yea.... we actually donated RP1000 for a rasa sayang song...

The night view at the beach..... no mosquitoes, but relaxing, breathtaking and yes, the breeze from the sea is just so refreshing!

Total : RP826,000....On the first day we were already broke because of this meal. But worth it...Make sure you make a trip here as well. Do not miss out the breathtaking view and splendid food at here!
First night of our trip, we had a cheaper Spa at Green Grass along Kuta or also known as Jln Legian if I'm not wrong. Among all the Spas that we visited, we only trust this shop and the other one was Spa Bali which we planned to go the next night.

After Spa ~ look at Brilly promoting his smooth skin after massage and scrub.

And Justin, enjoying the moment being massaged by a guy... lol.
Only RP85,000 for a Massage/scrub... worth it ?? Will you get this good bargain at KL? Definitely not!

This was the hotel we were staying in.... cheap but so so quality. Still can stay, better use all your money for SPA and not for a 5 star hotel!
That was all about our day 1.......
