It reportedly tastes beautiful and it is their best seller. But is the Bali Nine burger at Queensland's North Stradbroke Island's Fins n Fries in bad taste? Owner and head chef Cameron Tobin says "No way". "People have a bit of a laugh, but then I explain to them the theory behind it...

I've been following Putin's address to the Russian people. To alleviate the economic woes prevalent he has authorized an amnesty for all overseas money to be returned to Russia...no questions asked! Lots of Rubles were expatriated to many other countries to be laundered. I heard some to...

Take real passionfruit juice (Markisa) freeze it into ice cubes, take 4 or 5 in a long drink glass and add 3 fingers of Arak. Top off with sprite. Good sundowner and builds you up as it's knocking you down. Tastes pretty good too!

Today's acquisition of Crimea by the Russian Federation is surely of concern to people in the EU, and will surely have some repercussions for us in Indonesia. My first point would concern any military purchases (I read that RI are buying fighter jets) and Garuda's planned direct flight...

Found this hilarious report in today's Jakpost regarding the haze in Singapore. "It's disgusting, terrible." Dennis Wong, an IT at a foreign bank, said as he smoked a cigarette in the business district. "It feels very uncomfortable when you walk on the street." I contemplate...was he...

A couple of days ago I had lunch in Plumbers Arms in Jl. Semer, Kerobokan and noticed they now advertise Kilkenny Irish beer. It costs Rp65,000 a pint but I had a couple of glasses (0.25L) for about RP 30,000 each and it was a lovely brew and different from the lager style Bintang I usually...

The bar that allegedly served Perth teenager Liam Davies the methanol-laced drink that killed him is still selling potentially deadly cocktails to oblivious Australian tourists. An investigation by The West Australian has found that as recently as two days ago, Rudy's Pub served poisonous...

Has anyone tried the Bali Moon Vodka? I have heard that it is OK as well as a good price point,approx. 180,000rp(750ml). As that price is more than 50% cheaper than the Smirnoff, I would be interested in a personal review. Mansion House is nothing more than Brem with a 'Vodka Aroma', its pretty bad.

I am in Bali from July for around 1 year long project. I tried to setup something which I can call a small home here - and the home is always connected with good food, at least in my case. During around my 1,5 month stay I visited many restaurants across all price levels- in Seminyak, Cangdu...

I'm wondering for those of you that choose to drink Arak or other spirits in Bali if you're concerned about added methanol or poor distillation practices. It doesn't take much to seriously damage your health. I found a company that makes a field methanol test that can be used on beer, wine...
