Biku, Bali

For our final meal in Bali I was keen for The Boy and I to go somewhere...special. You know, to kiss the holiday good-bye in style (that is, to drown our sorrows in food). After our Potato Head outing I wanted something that was a bit more Balinese in style, but that was still a bit more fancy than your local Warung.  

Biku is in the "posh" part of Seminyak and is a gift shop/restaurant located in a beautiful old antique shop.  They do a pretty flash looking high tea if that's your thing - plus serve Indonesian food as well as other goodies. Sounds perfect!

We sit out in the courtyard which is lovely - despite the smokers which seem to plague every outdoor eating area on the island! Boo smokers!  We start things off with some cool drinks - a refreshing watermelon juice with mint for The Boy and a Ginger Fizz for the lady (that's me).

As much as we LOVED the local food in Bali neither of us could pass up the chance to indulge in a burger - cos we're greedy little piggies that LOVE junk food (and we're not ashamed to admit it).  That said, these burgers were the furthermost thing from junk food - they were GOOD, really really good - almost better than the life altering burger I had at Shake Shack in NYC last year. YES, that good.  My cheeseburger was simple, yet delicious - the patty was so juicy and the bun was soft like a pillow. The Boy was pretty happy with his deluxe burger - crammed with mushrooms, cheese, tomato, lettuce + onion jam.

After a few moments for our burgers to digest we move on to dessert. The Boy loves that he's able to order a Pavlova in Bali - now that he knows his favourite dessert is available in here I think he wants to move to Bali!  I settle for big slab of moist Carrot Cake after seeing it land on someone else's table which I help wash down with a Masala Chai Tea.

Almost more fun than the cheeseburger were these neat "towels" we were given at the end of the meal - pop the dry, compressed towel in a bit of water and POOF, you've got yourself a refreshing hand towel. Yes, small things amuse small minds.

And there we have it - our last meal in Bali. It was wonderful, yet sad all at the same time. Sigh.

Biku is at Jl. Raya Petitenget No. 888 Petitenget.
