My
Labuan Bajo and Bali trip was splendid! I feel like I was in my most relaxed
and calmest phase I’ve been in my life for like the last one or two years.
Blogging life and routine has been so crazy. Maybe some of you can’t relate and
wonder how busy can a blogger be, not sure if I am gonna let you in on that
secret, but there are so many open chances and projects outside blogging too
that I am currently working, and juggling the working life and private life is
not always ABC easy but hey, a work is not a job when you have fun with it, and
plus, I can always have my days off Jakarta and travel whenever I want!
So
when I was in Bali, a lot of people recommend me to go to this newly opened beach club in Canggu called “La Laguna”, shame on me, I didn’t even know about it
before (and I didn’t do any research), so I guess when a lot of people are
talking about it, then it should be something! I stayed at Seminyak when I went
to La Laguna and it was around 15 minutes car ride. La Laguna is located not
too far from La Finca (actually walkable).
After
I took a quick look on their social medias, I just realized that La Laguna is
also owned by the same people who own La Favela, and yes La Favela is also BIG
in Bali, even though I never visited it before (I did pass the cafe several
times), but I did hear a lot of (mostly) good things about La Favela from
friends. There’s something about La Laguna that looks like La Favela, just so
vintage, gypsy, chic and quirky with vintage atmosphere, but in the most
amazing way! It’s just... pretty!
TAKE
THIS POST AS A PHOTO TOUR
There
are so many photogenic spots here, well actually, almost every corner of this
place is photogenic and instagenic. I love the raw but thoughtful concept of
this cafe/beach club and it’s almost impossible not to fall in love with such rawness and
natural beauty. This cafe/beach club is best to visit before the sunset hour so you can
walk around taking pictures of the place while waiting for the sun to set, and
since it is quite chilly in Bali right now due to the winter in Australia, you
can definitely feel the ocean breeze at their best during the hour.
Unfortunately it just rained on my visit so the sunset wasn’t really good L.
The
cafe serves mostly Australian-Mexican inspired food, I was really enjoying the
surrounding that I didn’t even bother to take notes of whatever I drank and
ate, but I must say that I was quite impressed with everything that I ordered
that day. The prawn and polenta fries skewer was amazing! Love the seasoning of
the prawn and the moist-gooey polenta fries, the pork sandwich was also nice:
seasoned right on spot with fluffy bread (didn’t expect the bread to be that
fluffy) and the caramel bowl fruits was very cute, but besides that, I think
the fruit was pre-sugar-coated (hmm) because you can definitely feel the sugar and
the wet texture. As for the service, the staff was friendly, just not that
attentive, probably that’s a thing to improve.
I can
definitely see myself coming back again and again to this GORGEOUS beach club! Must
visit when you’re in Bali.
