Boat picnic with 500 Kois

Address: Kamandalu Ubud, Jl. Raya Andong, Banjar Nagi, Kecamatan Ubud, Kabupaten Gianyar, Bali 80571, Indonesia Price: 💰$60 SGD Rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Booking: reservation@kamandaluresort.com It was my first time in Ubud and I wanted to try something chill. I stumbled upon this experience and decided to booked it. This place was located 10 minutes from my hotel. It was super convenient! Right from the moment I drop off the bike, I was greeted by their guards and hotel staffs! Everyone was so nice and polite which is a great start to the lunch! There are several timing to this - 10:00, 11:00, 12:00, 13:00, 14:00, 15:00 or 16:00 for one and a half hours. As we already scheduled a sunrise tour that day, we decided to book the last slot - which is the best (the weather is cooler and no one else will be waiting for their turn to get on the boat). There are many photo opportunities but we were hungry so we only spent 2 minutes snapping before jumping onto the boat for lunch! They also provided a bucket of fish food to feed the kois, apparently it's good luck! There are 2 main courses you can choose: Seafood or Chicken. We both chose the seafood menu: 1. Poached prawn served with rustics crostini of tomato cherry, black olive, grilled paprika, green garden salad and dill dressing. 10/10 - was so juicy and big and the flavours complements each other 2. Balinese mix satay (fish satay lilt, squid and king prawn) - 10/10 The peanut sauce served with the satay was a winner! The satay were well seasoned and perfectly cooked! You can taste the grilled. 3. Tex Mex Wrap with avocado, tomato, Mexican rice and scramble egg - 8/10 It was delicious but by the time I reachef the wrap, I was too full! The wrap was well seasoned but definitely could use some crunch texture to elevate the dish. 4. English muffin, mozzarella and smoked salmon - 10/10 This didn't looked appetising but I was shocked at how well each element compliments each other! It was sweet, smoky and savory! For dessert we were served a Hazelnut chocolate crepes served with Banana, Strawberry with Aloe vera jelly and raspberry tartlet. 10/10 I don't have a sweet tooth but I finished it clean! For drinks, we both got the Strawberry Blast: A creamy cocktail with a blend of fresh strawberry, passion fruit syrup, Sprite. 10/10 - It was so refreshing and definitely goes well with the menu picked! I would love to make it here in Singapore! Overall I highly recommend this experience if you're in the area! Tip: I did a some research and found that it's cheaper to book it directly with the hotel. You'll save about $20/pax. #wheretogo
