Bali Day 2: Trying the most expensive coffee in the world
After bidding Mount Batur and Hotel Surya goodbye, we then headed to Ubud. Another amazing town that anyone who drops by in Bali should visit. Spending a night here is definitely recommended. Everything is away from the hustling and bustling of town life like Kuta beach.
On the way to Ubud we did make some detours and the first stop was lunch.
Gahhhhh just realized the photo colours are off. So much for batch editing -_-!
The best part of our lunch was that it was buffet style. So we kept eating until the locals gave a weird look LOL.
They had this crazy spicy sate that i kept taking but once the fella preparing gave me a stare, i stopped. Hahaha. We were just spoilt we the amount of food.
The building that we were at is built right at the edge. Check out the unfinished metal pieces sticking out. After lunch we drove to a nearby coffee farm where we were introduced to the animal that is incharge of making the most expensive coffee in the world.
The so called mobile coffee maker, LOL.
We were given samples of what they make in this farm, from different types of coffees to chocolate drinks. Noticed the cinamon in the cup? They use that to stir, how unique is that 
Unripe coffee? ROFLMAO. This is where it all begins before it ends up in your cup of Starbucks or Coffee Bean.
Finally it was time for the most expensive coffee in the world to take center stage. Having one of the most kiam siap groups to date, we all ordered a grand total of ……… *drums roll*
ONE cup of luwak coffee ! HAHAHAHAHA
It was simply too expensive for us. More over it’s only a backpacking trip. So we all took one sip at a time and seriously, it look so pathetic. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
We then carried on towards Ubud and as we got closer we could the strong Hinduism architecture in ever household. In fact each house has it’s own temple and a priest would do prayers for each family. Super ganas !
We stopped by at a nearby temple and this is where devotees would cleanse themselves, something similar to cleansing in Ganges river.
After the temple we finally reached Ubud town. It’s a very quiet town compared to Kuta. I simply love their buildings. We were left to explore the town for half an hour and guess what we found ?
Babi Guling ! Sorry non halal for the next picture. I have always heard about this and finally we had the chance to try it out.
… and so what’s my verdict on Babi Guling? Over rated.
Probably we weren’t in the right store to eat it but i would take Siew Yok or Char Siew Fan anytime lol.
Keat Meng standing in front of the shop, hoping they would have a branch in Malaysia soon, lol.
We then checked into our hotel. Initially we were suppose to stay in a different place but last minute we were bumped up to this awesome cottage called the Sri Ratih Cottage. A huge leap from Sri Surya for sure. LOL. Everyone was excited seeing how the place was. I will write more in detail about this place in my upcoming entry 
After giving everyone their room keys, we had our welcome drinks and zoomed off for dinner.
Each place we stopped was specifically chosen so that all of us had the chance to photograph something nice. So for dinner itself we had at Panorama Bar & Restaurant.
Before hand, i gave them our names as an assurance that we would be coming and seeing that majority of us are chinese or in fact all of us are chinese expect me, hahaha, they prepared for us chopsticks. Ganas sial.
