And to drbruce & jogry;
the "open" times do seem to be flexible, went up there last Friday to show the place to some friends and the crew were just opening up at 9:20. And we are aware that they also take off a tad early some days.
The staff were thretened with a spanking if they couldn't manage to stick to the open / close times :roll:

Well I'll make it a point to stop by the next time that I'm in Bali. It gets to be hard leaving the house to go anywhere these days with all the traffic. Generally, it's much easier just sitting around the house watching the kids grow up and trying to keep my wife from spending all the money.

Aint that the truth!! Well drop us a post when your back on the isle. If ever in Sumbawa would like to see your Rancho?? I like those outta the way places!!

Sure thing stop by. We live in Sekongkang, one of the surfing areas of Sumbawa. No address, but we have a rather large house next to the Mega Arafa hotel. If you're a surfer, you'll love the area. If you like animals, you'll love the place. If you like the big city (like Kuta or Denpasar), you'll be bored senseless.

Speaking of Bedugul, I am off later this week for a few rounds at Handara Country Club. I’ll be playing with our friend Laurie from Ubud who used to be an LPGA tournament player. I know she is just going to spank me silly on the links. To add insult to injury she tees up at the white tees, not the red tees, so I will have no excuses for what will almost certainly be a very embarrassing defeat at the hands of a woman!
My dad always used to say there are two places where a woman does not belong. One is on the golf course. The other was behind the wheel of car. Sorry dad...Laurie is driving too! :shock: :shock: :shock: :shock:
I guess after all of this spanking me silly is over I will check out this Crackers Bar and attempt to regain my manhood. Wish me luck, or better yet...make lots of offerings wishing that her golf balls turn into eggs!

[quote=Roy]Is this place expat owned/operated?[/quote]
Yep, 'tis true.
In a friends partnership with Cracker Waterman from Mandurah Australia, and Don from the good old USA.
Initially, the concept was to "improve" one of the local dunnies so it would more suit western visitors to Candi Kuning markets, then it sort of got out of hand. There was nothing much we could do to improve what was already in place, too big a job, then we found an old house off the back corner of the markets, so thought we could convert that into a toilet block. Once again, a bit difficult, so bit the bullet and built a brand new block of dunnies, then thought "why not" & converted the old house into a bar.
Then a local friend Ingky asked if she could set up a pastry shop (she's trained in Aust & the USA) and the last bit of space was allocated to the AdoptA Co-Op widows to help them with sales, they needed a retail outlet.
It's a work in process, as the top deck will someday be some sort of eating establishment, along the lines of a steak house or such, and the missus wants to add a couple of rooms on the top so she has somewhere to escape to when she needs a break from yours truly.
