Even though I have not posted my JBR yet(trip 5th-22nd July), I just had to share our Bintang BBQ we had last weekend.
One of our group celebrated her 50th Birthday while we were away, so once home, we wanted to recreate our Bali experience for those friends back home who couldn't be with us in Bali.
We had organised the seafood, the nasi goreng, bintang singlets for all, banana leaves for the platters, chicken satay...only one thing was missing....the Bintang!
We were told time and time again by bottle shops, bintang not available in Oz anymore due to Indonesian regulations. OMG!
What to do???
Well, my friend Kerrie is an event planner and apparently you never say never, to an event planner! And after a few choice phone calls by her, we had not 1 but 2 cases of Bintang!
Our BBQ was great fun, and the children were suitably embarrassed by their parents dancing and singing. The bintang tasted fantasic and if you closed your eyes for just a minute....you could almost smell the incense and feel the heat!!
The piste de resistance was the empty Bintang bottles lined up along the railing...impressive!
The Birthday girl had a ball and we all were able to re-visit a tiny bit of our fabulous trip to the Island of the gods!
Now, back to work to save for the next trip.....
