Jamie Oliver to launch new Italian restaurant in Bali

[balinews]

Jamie Oliver is set to launch his Jamie’s Italian restaurant brand in yet another country, with a restaurant in Bali, Indonesia on the cards.

The Jamie’s Italian group has partnered will Hotel Properties Limited (HPL) on the project, and building applications have already been submitted to the relevant authorities.

If all goes to plan, the restaurant will occupy a site adjacent to the Hard Rock Hotel Bali in the tourist hub of Kuta, and it will open for business at some stage next year.

“I’m really excited at the prospect of bringing Jamie’s Italian to Kuta Beach in Bali. We’re thrilled to be working with HPL again, who are absolutely fantastic partners,” said Oliver.

“Beautiful food and some really amazing cocktails coupled with sun, sand and sea – what’s not to love?”

Never did understand this Celebrity Chef thing - especially if they have published a cookbook.

Why would I go to a "Celebrity" resto and pay megabucks for a meal cooked by a guy (that has probably also never met the Celeb) that is only reading it from a cookbook that I can read too?

Unlike many here (apparently most here burn water) I can actually cook pretty well.

There is an occasional 'karaoke bar' not more than 150 metres from my place where a Bintang besar will set you back 45K but you get a nice 'cuddle a lot' while you are drinking it in the onshore breeze while 'relaxing' in the bamboo structure they might call outdoor seating
The Customer Service Treatment is a ten out of ten attentive from the '7' older one and zip from the '8.5' and aloof younger (nicely slim) one

The venue was originally named 'Rasa Sayang' and has been re-badged to ROCKSTAR
Still did not boost sales so I fear they will shut the doors once again

I can brag I have been there even though it was only the one time

I left my calling card just to be polite
The older one of the two contacted me a month later and said she was coming back early next month and wanted to see me again
I said that's fine - I will ask my wife if she does not mind
Well, that put pay to that 'unwanted interference'

A lesson to us all on how not to get laid in Bali.

Unfortunately, I already seem to be pretty good at that.

Seems like ignorance is bliss in your case
That is, not much 'exposure' to what can go wrong
Just try to imagine how many times you have 'avoided' problems

Karaoke bar girls, massage girls and, of course, cafe girls are to be avoided because of Chlamidia, HIV and UTIs
It's that simple

However, a SYT that works in an apothek or the Library or a Law Firm, etc, that is, not in a risky job, is a different proposition

Ma, get the gun there's a critter out there really needs shootin!


Just to add a little more zest to an already trashed thread: does anyone (other than PSW) know where I can get the film showtimes for the Galleria 21 Cinema for what's showing now?

I've just spent a fruitless hour looking online and I know they don't run the cinema as a business(sarcasm alert) but nowhere can I find the showtimes...

I am interested in renting one of your local friends. Do you have a photo of her?

The day Jamie/Ramsey et all can turn out a low calorie fried Mars bar recipe, I'm sold.
Nah as it happens that particular delicacy is more or less confined (TF) to the Weggy community, those wonderful people of Ayrshire who consider both Vodka and Cornflakes as essential food groups, often consumed together.
Hopin' the Chilli offer still stands, but delayed until December Marko

Cheers mate, I do believe that was a young maiden I knew very well about a year ago.

Yeah it left an impression on her too.

Just after the photo she chucked herself over the edge.

There is a bit of cash involved. Melbourne people paying $1,000 to scalpers for a meal at a celeb diner that's yet to open.

Good Food - Table scalpers target Heston Blumenthal's The Fat Duck

Strange times indeed.

Not if they watch that video they won't - did you see how dirty his fingernails were? Euuu! Don't want his fingers any where near my grub thanks.
