Bali Trip 2

After dinner, Denny brought us to buy Terang Bulan. It is actually Bali version of Apam Balik. Basically it s pancake with fillings. We bought Terang Bulan with cheese and chocolate. IT TASTED REALLY WONDERFUL! Chocolate was sweet while cheesy was salty n fragrant... there were 2 different Terang Bulan-thick and thin. According to Denny, Holland Terang Bulan is the best. Apparently in Bali, piracy is a common crime too. We saw Roland, Polland, and many other similar brand!!

The next day, we went to see the making of Batik and silver. We also visited paintings shop.
Traditional Bali paintings are very complicated.. I spent a long time looking at this painting...

Then, we went Kintamani. It is a volcano area. The weather there was good as it was a bit chilly at noon.The picturesque scenery accompanied us for buffet lunch... It was a shame that we didnt get to go near to the volcano. Hopefully there will be a chance for me to go there again! When we were going to leave the place, hawkers selling souvenirs, drawing temporary tattoo kept on pestering us~~~ They just crowded around us, shouting "Tiga lima untiuk semua" etc~ We had no choice but to patronize a bit..
On our way down from Kintamani, there were many rice fields along the road. Bali paddy field is different with what we usually see in Kedah. As the rice fields are planted on hill, farmers had to make them into staircase-like columns so that water can be retained in the columns.
