Warung Local
This Canggu restaurant is where you go when you want to taste the heart of Bali. The food here is all about the classics like Nasi Campur and Mie Goreng, done right. Everything tastes fresh and authentic, like it’s been made by someone’s grandma. The rendang was especially amazing, with tender meat and spices that had us scraping the plate. It’s a spot where the food speaks for itself, and it’s perfect for anyone looking to get a real taste of Bali’s culinary roots.
Bali Sandy Resort
This resort was our little oasis in the heart of Kuta. It’s a budget-friendly spot, but with a beautiful pool and tropical gardens that made it feel way more luxurious. The rooms were simple but comfy, and it was awesome to be just a short walk from the beach. We spent our days lounging by the pool and our evenings strolling to the beach to catch the sunset. It wasn’t just a place to stay. It truly felt like a home away from home.

Crumb & Coaster
Crumb & Coaster quickly became our go-to for breakfast in Kuta. The coffee here is top-notch, rich, smooth, and the perfect pick-me-up to start the day. We would love to come back just for the avocado toast, which was so tasty, super fresh, and loaded with toppings. The whole café has a cool, laid-back vibe that made it easy to linger over breakfast and plan our day there. It’s one of those spots that just gets everything right, from the food to the atmosphere, making it just perfect.
Hotel Mahendra
This hotel gave us exactly what we needed. A clean, comfy place to crash after our days of exploring Denpasar. The rooms are basic, but the staff more than makes up for it with their warmth and helpfulness. They were always ready with a smile and some great tips for getting around the city. The location is super central, which made it easy for us to dive into the local culture and check out the markets. It’s nothing fancy, but for budget travelers, it’s a solid choice that feels like home.

Warung Nyomam
A little gem and one of those places you’d probably walk past without noticing, but trust us, you need to stop in. It’s a tiny, family-run joint where the food is as authentic as it gets. We grabbed a seat at a small table, and when the satay hit the table, we knew we were in for a treat. Perfectly grilled, smoky, and packed with flavor. The nasi goreng had just the right amount of kick too. It’s the kind of place that reminds you why simple, local food is always a win.
Writer's Club & Wine Bar
The Writers Club and Wine Bar is a cozy spot in the heart of Chiang Mai, perfect for writers and art lovers. It offers a mix of Thai and Western dishes, a welcoming atmosphere, and regularly hosts art exhibitions, especially showcasing Myanmar art​.

Rumah Makan Kedaton
This restaurant was recommended by a local who promised us the best Balinese home-cooked meal we could find, and they were spot on. The rich spices and tender meats tasted like they had been slow-cooked with love, just like a home kitchen would. The sambal is no joke, spicy and addictive. It’s one of those places where you walk out feeling like you’ve just had a family meal.
Happy bar
A super fun and cheerful spot with great music and drinks. It’s a lively place to party with friends and enjoy a fantastic night out. You’re guaranteed to have a great time here

Staying at Feudo Frammasi was incredibly peaceful. Surrounded by olive groves and vineyards, the whole place felt calm and relaxing.
