This part is the continuation of the first part, also the second part of the whole Media Familirization Trip by Sheraton Bali Kuta Resort *clap hands*. This post will be about the main event of the trip, it's the launching of Feast's Sunday Market Brunch!!!

Just in case if you skip the first part, you can read it HERE!

First of all, gratitude! I feel so honored and fortunate to join the launching, because it's the debut and it's always exciting to be a part of something new and celebrating it. A lot of expectations run along the improvement of this event! I smell success even miles away from Jakarta.

With the concept of Sip, Savor and Shop, Feast's Sunday Market Brunch will transform traditional brunch with an open-air market of delicious fare, handmade crafts and services from local farmers, artisans and vendors. Located alongside Kuta’s famed Beachwalk, Market Brunch at Feast is the ideal occasion for families and community to gather before enjoying a day in Kuta. Feast Market Brunch will feature endless array of culinary journey and serving and an option of Duval Leroy Brut Champagne, fine wines or home crafted fruit and tea inspired beverages.

Loving the fact that they have special area for kids <3.

The Market Brunch will offer close to 20 live stations and buffets featuring fresh fare that will appeal to even the pickiest of palates. Guests will enjoy familiar tastes while also discovering new favorites. Typical offerings will include fresh artisanal cheeses and sliced meats; hand-picked fruits and vegetables; fresh-made sushi made with local fish; Japanese Teppanyaki; Middle Eastern treats and delicacies; seafood barbeque with the day’s catch; as well as more traditional brunch fare like eggs made-to-order and fresh pastries. Sweet treats include Illy’s fresh coffee and gelato, freshly made breads and pies, and Bali’s own fantastic Pod chocolate. Kids will especially enjoy the nugget station, that will serve varieties of choice.

Obviously, I ate like a crazy baboon on the event, because they were so mouthwatering, especially the seafood station! Let's explore the food!

Going to start with the seafood station located outdoor, just when I looked at the gianormous lobsters, I am hooked! One of the best things about joining this Sunday Market Brunch is the privilege of eating as much seafood as you freaking want! I had myself two river prawns and Barramundi fish, have it with the super Dabu Dabu Chili, you'll fall in love! To be honest, it was one of the best Dabu Dabu chili I've had period.

Not the most photogenic dish overall but tasted superb!
Barramundi cooked and seasoned lovely! Don't forget to have it with Dabu Dabu Chili! Don't forget!!!

River prawn <3.

Not to miss, the fabulous buffet selection inside! SLURP!

I have been to a lot of buffet restaurants and to be honest I am tired of the unstable taste of most buffets! but I am brave enough to declare that the food served in Feast restaurant is mostly fresh, controlled flavor stability. Surprisingly, the Asian station is my favorite station! I love the Thai courses! They seemed like they mastered in it.

Note to remember: the food that I am showing you guys here is not their regular served menu, each and every week, Market Brunch is trying to serve you different touch of creativity and selections of culinary from around the world. That's why you should come to this lovely event and have yourself a lovely treat <3.

Fresh fish to start, when I eat in a buffet restaurant, I always fill myself with the raw food first, I think they're just the proper appetizer for me.

Suckling pig with super juicy meat!

Chocolate Brownies is another favorite of mine, loving the smooth texture and rich chocolate flavor.

Chocolates with various flavors. My favorite was the rose and sea salt caramel :).

Strawberry Shortcake

Spinach noodle. The noodle is so fluffy and rubbery in a good way, the soup was decent but you can address the seasoning the way you wanted it.

CHOCOLATE FOUNTAIN for me to swim in (if I can).

Make sure you try their lovely Oxtail Soup (Sop Buntut), the meat was super juicy!

Iced Coffee from Illy. This might be small but this one received a big purple heart from me! So freakin tasty!

Another privelege, free flow of champagne! Now this is fancy.

Open each Sunday from 12 noon to 3 pm, Market Brunch will feature a variety of live stations and buffets emphasizing tapas and small bites so guests can sample and savor a wide variety of Asian favorites including those from Bali and beyond. The dynamic menu will change each week based on the seasonal availability of local ingredients. In addition, Market Brunch will feature retail stalls selling fresh produce, groceries and pre-made items to go – perfect for guests who want to explore Kuta Beach and Bali for the afternoon – as well as live entertainment from local bands and DJ’s, not only that, on the grand opening, there's a showcase on wine creation! Everyone's allowed to jump on the freaking grapes!!!

This deliciously rich experience is priced at just IDR 270.000 per adult and IDR 175.000 for children ages 4 – 12. The price includes Illy iced coffees, Dilmah teas, fresh-squeezed juices and more. A selection of locally-crafted beers, fine wines and signature cocktails are available for an additional IDR 200.000 and free-flow Duval Leroy Brut Champagne and wines from Starwood Wines of the World selection is available for an additional IDR 450.000 only. All prices are quoted in Indonesia Rupiah and are subject to 21% local government tax and service charge.

Just like its concept, when eating is too mainstream for you, here comes the shopping part! You can bring the lovely ingredients you're having home, just like a real market, only here, everything is fresh guaranteed and premium. Some of the items sold here are imported cheese and sausages, fruits and veges and fresh seafood! Now you can have the glimpse of the fabulous Sunday Brunch back at home.

I embed a video for you guys to watch, it's from the first Feast Sunday Market Brunch which I joined. FYI, I am in the video even though for like seconds only (LOL). Love the capturing of this video, the documentary crews must did an awesome job!

Thank you Sheraton Bali Kuta Resort for letting me and some friends to be a part of the grand launching of Feast's Sunday Market Brunch! It was freaking splendid!!!

Stay tuned for another part of my trip to Bali, this ain't over yet ;).

Feast Sunday Market Brunch at Sheraton Bali Kuta Resort

by Hans Danials on 09.23.00

This part is the continuation of the first part, also the second part of the whole Media Familirization Trip by Sheraton Bali Kuta Resort *c...

I must have had smacked my little head on the pavement when I received the invitation to join "Media Familirization Trip" in Sheraton Bali Kuta Resort. I was really happy when I received the invitation, it's like my spirit's already somewhere in Bali right after I finished reading the email until the day I was in Bali.

This trip was definitely one of the fabulous highlight in my blogging venture! Especially for the chance to visit Bali and spend a couple of days with new friends from the Indonesia and Singapore medias and bloggers. They were really nice people.

I am going to separate the whole trip to some parts and there will be tons of photos because it's almost unfair to the other photos not shown in the blog, also, lots of pictures won't hurt ;).

They flew me with Garuda Indonesia, it was a good short flight. Anyway, I cannot help not sharing the meal I ate that day because it was really delicious. I chose "Lontong Ayam" for the in-flight meal. The chicken was very moist and juicy! The opor sauce, which tasted more like a nut sauce was decent. The lontong itself was very fluffy, kinda expect the consistency to be thicker. If you're lucky then you'd probably getting this for your in-flight meal.

I couldn't just sit inside and not documenting the enormous clear blue sky with simpson clouds everywhere around. The view was the best entertainment during the flight.

Perfect gradation of blue.

I had an amazing service right from the moment I landed at Ngurah Rai International Airport to the end of my trip. The team from Sheraton has arranged everything smoothly: from the events, the transportation arrangement, they literally made "working" just a word. It was a real vacay!

Bali is undoubtedly one of the most favorite's tourist destination, both local and international, and Kuta beach is the top notch paradise for surfers along with the 5km sandy beach. Sheraton Bali Kuta Resort is definitely in the perfect spot. Super easy access to the beach! It probably took me less than two minutes from my room to the beach.

The lovely dancers greeted us with the dance and flowers to the ears <3.

I barely even check myself in, everything's organized and I didn't even need to bring my heavy-ass luggage to my room, so we were ushered to FEAST to have lunch. FEAST is Sheraton Bali Kuta Resort's buffet restaurant (they also provide Ala Cartes). I am going to tell you more about FEAST on a separate post, but here's a picture as a teaser.

After lunch, I was ushered to my room and holy smooch I was super fortunate to be put in the front facing deluxe ocean room! My room located right at the very center of the hotel and I got the privilege of the view worth getting jealous of!

The bed is so large (king size ehm) it can fit up to three people! The bed was very comfortable and the blanket was just my ideal blanket and I happened to own one at home. It made me feel a little like home a bit despite my own room's a little unorganized! I love the touch of white to the room, it adds up the vibrance to a whole new level. Somehow white neutralize the soul of the room.

The room is completed with a comfy chair and a LCD TV with access to your favorite local and international channels. I watched E! my whole stay and didn't change the channel even once, and only if you care.

A large bathtub for a relax and soothing bath experience. My whole body can fit in and I'm around 1.75m so you do the math.

The view of the room from the bathroom. Don't worry if you're not comfortable having an open bathroom because the room's prepared with a curtain for a more private bath experience. Since I stayed alone in the room I didn't need to cover anything, especially when you can dip yourself in the bathtub and watch the TV. It sometimes doesn't get lovelier than that.

The hotel gave me free complimentary of their signature breads with four of their lovely "Color Your Plate" purees. Sheraton Bali Kuta Resort is promoting this campaign entitled "Color Your Plate", so basically they're encouraging us to put more food with colors, by meaning natural vegetables and fruits because they are keeping the bodies healthier, more balanced and as the prime source of vitamins. Applause for that.

I counted and the hotel also provided the room with 6 bottles of mineral water so in no way you'll be dehydrated. Even at a certain hour, the service staff will visit your room to ask if you have enough water drink supply. Service is awesome!!! Told ya.

We were given 40 minutes free time before moving on to the next schedule: RESORT TOUR! So I just took photos, cleaned myself and changed the outfit to a more relaxing set.

The meeting point was always here in the Sheraton Bali Kuta Resort lounge. This area is the more traditional are of the hotel from the ceilings and the sculpted crafts, still mixed with a little modern touch.

Gorgeous view of Kuta Beach from the lounge. The blue sea never turns me off!

The view of the pool area taken from the lounge too. Infinite pool facing the ocean. What's seriously better than that?

We toured the whole resort starting from the restaurants, the spa, the ballrooms and others. The restaurants and the spa are going to be on a different post so stay tuned for that. Anyway, I can show you some other parts of the hotel tho.

Ballrooms living room.
The Sahid Grand Ballroom is large enough to accomodate up to 500 guests, so you might consider having your wedding receptions or general meeting here.

After touring the resort, we were gathered at the BENE rooftop for a sunset gathering! BENE is an Italian restaurant from Sheraton Bali Kuta Resort, the look of the restaurant rang classy and fancy.

Let me introduce you to some of the fabulous people I got to meet during the trip:

Emma from Detik Food

Ayu from Esquire Magazine and Ajeng from Dewi Magazine

Flowing canapes all the way. This one is real good.

We were given complimentaries of flowing Sangrias, mocktails and cocktails. This sunset gathering is a semi-party.

Loving this Sangria, they put cherry tomatoes inside the drink and it worked!

First day of stay, first sunset to enjoy! The sunset was really breathtaking I snaped like 50+ photos on the same object.

Right after the Sunset Gathering, we were ushered for a dinner that's already being served by the lovely Chef Rossano. He's such a fun chef and I can totally see his passion for cooking from the way he directed us and explained us with all the course.

Say hi to Chef Rossano :)

Just like what I've mentioned before, BENE is a such a classy restaurant, every little detail of the restaurant looked awesome and the ambience was really fancy. Just look at those fabulous plates, they're all custom made for BENE. Love love!

We were given cold towels with relaxing fragrance from the leaf inside.

I can't show you all the food from the dinner because everything is on a sharing portion (that's the concept of the restaurant: sharing is loving!) so the physical look was honestly not really tempting to be photographed and the room's also really dark, but however, the taste was F A B U L O U S! I recommend you guys going here for a dining session with your family. A nice intimate dinner would be lovely <3.

Barramundi di Pomodoro con Patate Arrosto e Mista
Barramundi in tomato sauce served with roasted potatoes and salad.

Loving this one. Purple heart! Barramundi cooked perfectly with crunchy skin and it didn't have the stink left. Tomato sauce is a decent company to the fish.

Cioccolato Broadway con Coulis di Mango
Chocolate Broadway Mousse with Mango Sauce

Super lovely dessert lah! The mousse literally melts in your mouth the moment you put it in. One scoop from the middle all the way to the bottom and you'll find a surprise of a mango sauce inside. Awfully in love with this.

After a lovely dinner, we're given free time for whatever we wanted to do, so I got back to my room, took a bath and went for a little walk at Beachwalk Shopping Centre, which was located right beside Sheraton Bali Kuta Resort!!! They even have an access straight to the mall! Another advantage of staying here...check!

With that, that's the end of the first part of my fabulous trip to Bali with Sheraton Bali Kuta Resort. See you guys on the next posts because the more fun parts are about to start! You haven't seen anything yet.

Leaving you with a photo of the fabulous Kuta Beach!
