Six of us plus a 2yo went to the Padma Bali Balinese night, held weekly. We went on June 1st. Total bill including drinks was R1.073million - about $23 each. It was a smorgasbord under the stars of incredible variety. Hot and cold food, all Balinese/Indonesian, by the tonne. There were 4 young women and one boy aged about 12 in full traditional costume who danced to a gamelan orchestra of about 15 players. Quite a few present wern't staying at the hotel. It was a great evening. After the dancing there was a quartet of Sumatrans playing a double bass, 2 guitars and bongo type drums who sang briliiantly, going from table to table playing requests. We will go again next time we go to Bali (soon, I hope)
