Hi,
I've finally done my first Bali trip with my galfren.
Spend 1 Nite in Fave Hotel Seminyak and another 4 nites at Legian 101 Kuta.

We rented a manual transmission Avanza for 6 days for RM50/Day.
Since it's manual I let my galfren drive We drove without an international driving license and never get caught.

The traffic is horrible. A 25km journey may take 2.5hrs and there are a lot of motorcycles that just ride in the middle of the road while some trucks just hoard the fast lane. And the latest Open Source Map I downloaded is crap. It leads me to a few wrong places, eg. Naughty Nuri on both locations are totally wrong. I wasted some time and 60km travelling distance. Parking is almost impossible at Seminyak and Kuta, but I have no problem looking for a spot while visiting the temples. Parking rates ranges from 2000 IDR to 5000 IDR. Toll to some places is about 3000 IDR, but to the airport is 10000IDR
Eat,
Starbucks - They are everywhere. We did 6 Starbucks in 6 days due to the Hot weather. It's like a weather shelter for us. The one at Ngurah Rai airport is located at the Domestic terminal and have to walk some distance from International terminal. Don't forget to get a local Starbucks card, we get buy-1-free-1 for every Frappuccino. Reload value is 100000IDR each time. Starbucks Ubud has one that is facing a lake. It located near Oka Babi Guling. Beautiful. Prices range about 57000IDR

Coke Cola- Ranges from 4200IDR at Bintang Supermarket in Kuta, 10000IDR at convenience stall, 25000 at restaurant.

Bintang Beer - Their local beer, 20000IDR at Bintang and 25000IDR elsewhere. Taste very light but good to chill you down on a hot afternoon

Made's Warung Seminyak- I went to this warung twice after reading trip advisor. Ayam Totoo seems to be their signature dish. Good but not great. The Seminyak branch have better ambiance and more relaxing compared to the one is Kuta. Go to the Seminyak branch.

Naughty Nuri's Ubud - Pork ribs. We got lost after following Open Source Map. It leads to 2 branches, Kuta and Ubud. Both shops are non-existence at the location and we wasted many hours driving. We have to ask around to get to the correct shop at Ubud. It is near the Bridges restaurant. The ribs are super good. We did this shop  twice. The second time we drove 2.5 hours from our hotel in Kuta and return trip 2 hrs back to hotel. It's worth it.

Poppies Restaurant Kuta - We walked into Poppies cottages and it was a beautiful chalet. Walk further down the alley to their restaurant. 'Rice Platter' is a must try. I love it. Cost 220000 IDR plus plus for 2 person. It's sort of like a Balinese food sampling platter and satay ALL-IN-ONE. It has very relaxing setup and quite romantic.

Bebek Dengil Ubud- Was told that this is the best Dirty duck restaurant where bookings need to make 1 day in advance. We drove into this place to make a reservation after getting lost looking for Naughty Nuri's. We parked at the convenience stall next to it, only to be told by the security "Mintak duit rokok" if we park there. We left and leave our car to the Bebek Dengkil jockey service. We got a nice cabaña for 2 person with the back facing a paddy field. Beautiful and romantic setup, but food was so-so. Go for the ambiance.

Ibu Oka Babi Guling, Ubud - We did the one in the mansion called Branch 3. The setup is very spacious. We ordered their special not realizing that the babi guling already finished. As we eat, a kind Chinese Indonesian couple customer sitting next table asked the staffs why there wasn't any babi guling skin. They were told that it was already sold out but there were a few pieces left. The couple asked for it and pass us some to try.

Lia's Café, Jimbaran - Candle light dinner by the beach. Good seafood at an affordable price. We took set 3 with lobsters, prawns, clam, crab, vegetable, rice, and 2 Bintang. If you go early, do get a table closest to the beach. If you go at 8pm and later, it is advisable to get at least 3 tables back. The reason is, while we are there eating, the tide rose and the first table customers were splashed. Not a fun thing when you have to move after half way into the meal.

Stay,
Fave Hotel Semiyak - Clean, and comfortable. Friendly staff but hardly speak English. Breakfast variety were limited. We got a pool facing room and it was okay. Small rooms but enough. 5mins walking distance to Seminyak main road where all the stoppings are located, and 700meters to the beach.

The Legian 101, Legian - Love this hotel. It's right in Kuta town main street. Walk 1km to the beach and Beach Walk mall,  short distance to the Bali memorial and pubs. Breakfast varieties are very much more. Staffs can speak very good English, Starbucks and ATM are just right below the hotel. The pool party are fun with loud music, but turned down after 10pm. ATMA spa is excellent, 3hrs for RM120. High security hotel with bomb check on cars droved in, and bag check before allowing to enter hotel.

Visit,
Beach Walk, Kuta - New malls with cinema at Kuta beach. Lot's of Asian eateries on the top floor including Char Kwe Teow.

Uluwatu - Temple next to a cliff. We watched Kecak dance here right before sunset. Watch the dance for the experience.

Bedugul/Bratan - Drove uphill to visit this temple by the lake. Calm lake with nice scenery photos.

Pura Ayun - A simple temple with pagodas in various height. Can skip if you are tired of visiting temples

Tirta Empul - Temple where people baths in holy water. It's nice to take a dip on a hot day

Tanah Lot - Bali signature photo location. We took lots of photos here. We were told to make a donation, and clean with holy water before allowed to walk up the rock. When we walked up, we were told that the temple is not for visitors. It is advisable to walk to another side of the temple to the right where there's a hole under the bridge leading to a smaller temple. Sunset photos are much nicer here

Pasar Seni Sukawati - An art market. We over paid RM60 for a small piece of wall hanging art.
