Wayan Bliss Hotel

Ash and I stayed at Wayan Bliss Hotel deluxe room for one night during April 2013. This is not the usual Balinese theme; I like the colorful surfing concept for a change. This is also a modern hotel with touch-screen lift buttons. The room is clean and tidy and the beds are comfortable. They also provide Wi-Fi in the room. Bonus point!

Wayan Bliss Hotel is about 15 minutes’ walk to Legian beach and the major shopping places (turn left when you step out of the hotel). We also explored the right side of the hotel. There were much fewer restaurants. The road towards the beach is definitely more happening! But do pay attention to the sidewalks as the pavement is uneven and some parts of it are broken.

We like the location of the hotel as it is quiet but still within walking distance to the tourist area. The hotel also provides complimentary one way bus service twice  thrice daily but we did not have the chance to utilize it.

There was a joke between my friend and me – “they surf, we also surf”. Except that we surf the Internet. We knew there was going to be Wi-Fi in the room and brought along our netbook. The hotel has also thoughtfully provided 2 Macs at the lobby for guest's use.

We tried the spa at the hotel - Wave Senses Spa and Reflexology. We paid RP 100,000 for a 60 minutes Balinese massage. The spa room is spacious and clean. The friendly staff at the reception helped us made the reservations.

It's worth the money paid!

The last photo was randomly taken when we strolled to Legian Beach. How apt for this post, isn't it?

Lim Seng Lee Duck Rice - in Teochew style!

It was only 4.30pm on a rainy Saturday. But it was almost full house in the coffeeshop and there was a long queue for takeaways.

"What is your order?" I heard a familiar voice behind me. It was the friendly uncle who always takes the orders and payments.

 

At Lim Seng Lee, there is no menu. Every table has the same dishes - braised duck, egg, duck internal organs, sambal kangkong and tofu. My favourite is the sambal kangkong and the tender duck meat that goes very well with the sweet vinegar chili and the dark gravy. The gravy also goes very well with both rice and porridge! Perfect combo!

This place has got a rustic feel!

The total bill came up to S$29.50 for the above (inclusive of 3 bowls of rice and 2 sour plum drink).

Unfortunately, after 45 years in business, the owner has decided to retire in June 2013. Do give this a try if you havent!
