Naughty Nuri


Let me introduce you to Naughty Nuri's Warung (Warung is stall in Bahasa Indonesia.  Which pretty much is like a dodgy road side restaurant). Nuri's use to be a lot cheaper with the price of Rp.45,000 for a large portion of Pork Ribs. But now it's Rp.75,000 eeekk!! Too expensive for this kind of place! At least that's what most foreigners feel as they are profoundly shocked by the hygiene of the place.But still it's my favorite guilty pleasure. 

Yes I have to admit the atmosphere is not that great. You'll get home wondering why your clothes your hair even your undergarment smells like it's been smoked and during you're meal you will most definitely see a stray dog sitting close by. Or a rat if you're that lucky.

Naughty Nuri's Famous Pork Ribs

And they are also famous for their Matinis. I'm not a big fan of alcohol and therefore not a very good judge. I overall love this place, and would recommend anyone who visit to Bali to try this out.

Niluh Djelantik: Walk with Me

It sadden me to know how many people in the world aren't aware of Indonesian's better-than-good designer.  So I've decided to dedicate most of my blogs to a my Favorite Indonesian's Designers.

As a girl in her 20's I find it highly embarrassed and annoying that I can't get myself to wear high heels. I'm already falling and slipping with my ballet flats (on flat surfaces mind you) I can't bring the courage to wear such beautiful and sexy 10cm heels. I guess this restriction with heels cause me to be, a somewhat of a shoe fetish. With that being said, let me introduce you to...

Niluh Djelantik (formerly called Nilou), a born and base Balinese shoe designer. You can find everything from sandals to ballet flats to heels to wedges and boots here. All her materials and product are made right here in Bali. With famous names like Cameron Diaz and Gisele Bundchen wearing her designs, you know it isn't going to be cheap! But with such high quality and a life time guarantee of services (YES! she will repair you 5 years old shoe, right down to the leather) it's worth every cent! OH! Not forgetting the fact that its so damn easy to walk in her shoes, even in her heel!! It's so stable, so balance and so softtttttt~ Ohhhh the joy of finally being able to wear a 10cm heels *tears of joy* I personally love the fact that she use suede as a lining for her heels (N0 it does not smell after you wear it) It support and prevent our fragile feet from get blisters and all that pain! 

A few of my favorites (Yes I do realize the first row is 1 design in different colours)

If only I can learn from her! Ohhhh what great joy that would be for me~~! 

Address: Jl. Raya Kerobokan, Bali, Indonesia. (But it's also sold in 20 cities around the world! From Australia, France, New York and Spain) Way to go!
