Continuation of Restaurant reviews.....Veggie reviews too J and Massage experiences!!
12. This night we decided to use our free voucher provided by the Dynasty, for a free Themed meal. Tonight's theme was Pasta and Pizza. Our Voucher was for 2 Adults and 2 Kids, we gently put forward that as we didn't have 2 kids under 12, that our 17yr son, would eat the same amount at 2 kids, and our voucher was then changed to 3 Adults! I had veggie lasagne and veggie pizza, were both great. Also the small choc cheese cakes were lovely!!
13. Green Garden again....
What a disappointment this night was... Place was busy as usual, and I think we happen to get a new waiter... I ordered Veggie Spring rolls, asked as usual if they contain meat...nope... as you guess, yep did contain chicken, had already eaten one when I discovered the chicken, they tried to convince me that it was egg!!. Apology was that at the restaurant that the waiter used to work at, their spring rolls were veggie!! Ordered Stir Fry veggies with peanut sauce, got stir fried bok choy, 5 bits of carrot, 2 with black marks on them, small mushroom, and no peanut sauce... Son ordered Sweet and Sour Prawns...received Sweet and Sour Pork..sent it back and asked for prawns, again apologies from another waiter this time. Total bill (cant remember other orders) 455400rp = $60.70 wont be hurrying back there... Score 1/10
14. Aromas Café
Had waited the whole holiday for this dinner, as it's a Vegetarian Restaurant, my guys had to go without their meats. I had Guacamole Dip 20,000rp, Spinach & Goat Cheese Cannelloni 51,500rp. Son had Nachos 49,500, and hubby Aroma Pizza 53,500rp. 1 Sprite 12,500rp, 3 Bintangs 21,500rp each. My meal appeared after the guys had finished their mains, my cannelloni was only ¾ cooked, what a shame, I had really been looking forward to this meal. Also Bintang is the only alcohol that is served there. Aromas toilets are really clean too! Total 319,935rp $42.65. Took doggy bag home to Benny and jenny again!
15. Golden Lotus @ Dynasty
We have never eaten here before, and was pleasantly surprise on the lovely décor, and food!
I had Spring Rolls which were really nice. On their menu they had 'fake Chicken' so after confirming that their fake chicken was really fake, and not real chicken, was then told they don't have any L so I ordered they Tofu and Veggies, which were ok too. Spring rolls 35,000rp, Honey Pork 55,000rp, Prawn stir fry 75,000rp, 1 Rice 50,000rp, 2 Spring waters 15702rp, 1 Orange Cooler 26446, 2 small Bintangs 56,198, The total bill came to 457799rp = $61.00 (My meal was a buy one get 1 free, from Dynasty voucher) Score 9/10
16. Last night... Grace Kellys @ Dynasty.
Restaurant smelt very smokey, which was a bit of a turn off, if you don't smoke! I ordered the Nachos, but they contained meat, so then ordered the Veggie Wrap, nope, not available...so settled for the Spinach and Cheese pie, which was pretty tasty. Son had Pie and chips, hubby had sizzling steak and veggies. Not sure of the cost, as I cant find the bill LOL Score 6/10
Hair braiding...
As I have terrible curly hair, this was on my to do list asap. Went to the market at the back of the Dynasty and Lulu Big Bum and Big Tit (so her business card says) pounced on me asking if I want my hair braided, my nails painted and my feet scrubbed! Ahhhhh I will come back later today, I promise. We had settled on 400,000rp for hair braids.....I arrive at her stall at about 4pm (not knowing that she goes about 5pm....learnt this the hard way!) She starts with my hair, asks if I would like to pay upfront, mmm nope, will wait till done if that's ok.... 3 girls 1 hour to braid in extensions. Meanwhile my feet and nails are being painted 100,000rp ( Yep that was my BALI GOTCHA moment, as we all have them, found out later could get nails done for ½ the price!!! Oh well) - Hair finished by 5.30pm, went back to room, and what a crap job!! Lol bits of hair not braided etc.... So 2 days later had it redone with LILY, at the markets behind the Dynasty. 4 ladies took 4 hours to braid in extensions, settled on 350,000rp, I had over 100 tiny neat braided extensions, fabulous job, so paid 400,000rp = $53.00. My braids lasted 2 weeks, and I was asked several times where I had them done. Great Job Lily! But remember if it takes 4 ladies 4 hours to put them in..... its gonna take you a lot longer to take out by yourself!! Mmmm nearly 2 days!!!!
Massages
Well my son was in heaven receiving daily foot massages from the foot Masseurs around the pool at the Dynasty. After being massaged daily for about a week and a half by the same lady, my son was asked if he had a girlfriend, 'nope' he replied. The lady then went on to tell son that she had a daughter who was 20yrs and would he 'like'?? 'Ahh no thanks'. I have to admit that this was a bit off putting, as in a way we expected this from outside the Dynasty, with regards to wanting girls, but didn't expect it here.
My Body Reflexology and body massage. Jl Kartika Plaza Kuta.
As I had seen reviews on here about this place, we looked forward to giving it a go. It wasn't hard to find, as there is lots of ladies handing out brochures to different Massage & Spa places, on the street.
So son and I had a 1 hr massage for 65,000rp each $8.00. Gee these girls have such strong hands!! Digging and prodding into our tired muscles...nice but did hurt in some spots!! The place was really clean and nice, also it rained whilst we were there, which was nice to listen to whilst being massaged!
Yathy and Beauty Salon. Opposite Bali Ratu Spa. (Pink Pamphlets)
We had passed these young ladies every day whilst shopping, and they seemed very happy and friendly. They also seemed to take a liking to our son! Yelling out to him across the street, telling him he was a 'Sexy Boy!' well this certainly didn't damage this ego!! Hubby and I decided to have a 1hr massage, which was really great @ 50,000rp $6.60. Place also nice and clean. Only downside was, that just before I was finished with my massage, she whispered in my ear, 'I want your son'....mmmmm paid and left!
Sari J Salon Next to Bali Ratu Spa (Green Pamphlets)
All 3 of us decided to have a 1hr massage. The girls across the road from Yathy Salon were upset that son was not going to their spa!! Yelling out 'Oh sexy boy, come over here for massage' Not likely!! Lol
This place was clean and air-conditioned too. We had a full body massage with oils.... This was the best massage we had, we were all really happy and relaxed! 60,000rp per person. My lady was so great that I gave her a 50,000rp tip!
Massage on the beach with Carmel, behind the Dynasty.
20,000rp = $2.60!! for a back massage, was value for money, Carmel did a great job. Was a bit surprised to see a rat run out of the bushes on the beach near us, but hey that's Bali!
