Sky Garden Rooftop Lounge Legian : Bali Nightlife

Roxuai : Sky Garden Rooftop Lounge Legian Bali

I love this place! Very nice (and big) place, cool crowd, hugeee variety of music. Whenever I go to Bali, Sky Garden is always the first in my to-do list. The FDC is pretty cheap too!. Very very recommended for you who want a great rooftop experience and different choices of music.The rooftop of the famous Legian 61 buidling in JL Legian is the main party venue of Bali. Legian 61 is the hotspot of partying but the roof top Legian Sky Garden 61 (oficially caled Sky Garden Rooftop Lounge) at the top of the six story buidling is the most packed of them all as this is where most of the action for foreigners, particularly the young and hip australians and other caucasians and a smattering of Japanese, chinese and koreans go to.

This multilevel palace of flash flirts with height restrictions from its rooftop bar where all of Kuta twinkles around you. Look for top DJs, a ground-level cafe and paparazzi wannabes. Munchers can enjoy a long menu of bar snacks and meals (salads, sandwiches, pastas and the like). Most, however, roam from floor to floor posing with posers and having a blast. Despite the gloss, it can get quite rowdy at night when Kuta starts thumping.

The Sky Garden top floor buffet is impressive, a mouth-watering display of barbecue sauced roast chicken, assortments of salads and pastas, and smoking skewers on a blazing grill. There are many seating options to choose from, with comfortable padded benches and long tables around the edge if you’re in for the view. Or, for more mingling you can opt for the long table in the centre under a single tree with bar stool-like seats. Behind, a large projector screen plays action movies with captions, with music provided by the DJ. Legian has a pretty impressive skyline, something we hadn’t realised until we made a trip here.

The rooftop is always crammed full of people and many drunk chicks and local indonesian girls dance at the ledge in the middle of the rooftop garden. there are many tables and chairs around the place but since it is packed full of people standing, you can hardly move as you dance to the live DJ hits of Trance, House, Club, RNB, Hip Hop hits that starts at 6:00 pm to 3:00 pm everyday.

Roxuai @ Bubba Gump Shrimp Co Kuta Bali

The concept of the restaurant, besides the shrimp of coz, the movie forest gump itself! They even show the movie at the restaurant. The first thing you see when you past it is a big cabinet giving you displays of the food, of course the food isnt real its plastic, but they give you a display of some of the food you get so you know what you are eating which is a good idea. Plus you also see the big shrimps at the front on both sides of the entrance. When you walk in its like a tour you go through these little like walk ways with all information about the movie called Forest Gump which that is why the restaurant is named after the movie, so it gives you some infomation that maybe you never new before.

There's a 4 types of food that made with shrimp which is, fried shrimp ( like tempura ? ;p ), popcorn shrimp, shrimp in skewers, and shrimp ball. This dish served with french fries, coleslaw, and 3 types of sauce which is tartar sauce, mayonnaise and the sour sweet sauce ( I'm not sure what sauce is that ;p ). The four of it was taste nice and fresh. But what i like the most is the shrimp ball. Crispy outside, but moist and savory inside. Yum! Besides their great and large portion of food, they also shares a very unique ordering system. As seen in the picture, when we want to order, we just lift the plate into red with the signage "Run Forrest Run", and the waitress will come to you to take your order. Very efficient we might say :).

Fantastic atmosphere staff have energy enthusiasm and great sense of humours. good food a little expensive in bali terms. but... so enjoyed it that it's well worth the extra $$$!!! If you don't enjoy having a joke or fun don't bother if you like fun new experience it's a must do once at least. Had a good experience with their service and food earlier at The Curve, so we decided to have our lunch there. It's located outside of the Sunway Pyramid main entrance, so you will need to make your way out the shopping mall and it is on the left side as you exit. You will never miss it.

Favorite Dish:

I love seafood especially the Shrimp New Orleans,so in other worlds i like the prawn dishes but here is some of the menu for you:

Did you know?

Bubba Gump Shrimp Co. also provided entertainment for kids and adults alike. They had the catch the mascot game and also trivia about the movie. So for those of you Die Hard Forrest Gump fans, brush up your skills and take this ultimate challange!

Roxuai : Beautiful Sunset at Kuta Beach

Kuta Beach has added value as a place to see the sunset. Each day, the beach is always crowded by foreign and domestic tourists. Sunset in Kuta Beach, Bali Almost every corner of Kuta filled with travelers. White sand stretch of Kuta is a "giant carpet" for tourists lie down and enjoy the atmosphere of Kuta. Many of the activities you can do at this beach. You can do surfing, sunbathing, or just chatting. Well, at noon foreign tourists vying to blacken the bodies in the court of Kuta Beach.

Roxuai : Hard Rock Cafe : Kuta Bali

Bali has been the primary focus of Indonesia's tourist industry for quite some time. The only Hindu society in Southeast Asia, lively religious observance now permeates every aspect of modern Balinese life. When in Bali, people also like to worship at the great shrine of Rock 'n' Roll, the Hard Rock Cafe Bali, where rock gods and royalty alike are honored. Hard Rock Cafe.

Hard Rock Cafe : Kuta Bali

Like what i've said, the main party place of Kuta and Bali is at JL legian area and the main Beach Road (JL Pantai Kuta) has a more sedate nightlife as only a few good bars in in there and the most famous is the Iconic Hard Rock Cafe Bali, located in the entrance of the Hard Rock Hotel Bali.

I love this place. The bartenders, waiters and waitresses are so friendly that they don't just serve you with a smile. They strike a friendly conversation with you. I was here for some drinks with a friend on our first night in Bali. After dinner, we headed straight to the Rock Shop to buy some souvenirs from this beautiful island. Got me a Hard Rock Bali shirt.

During the day, it serves as a restaurant serving various meals that hard rock is known for and starting at around 9:00 pm, it becomes a bar and there are live bands playing with no cover charge starting at 10:30 pm to 1:00 am everyday. this place is for avid rockers and curious foreigners and more of the older set rather than the younger set in the JL Legian Area. the entrance of the Hard Rock Cafe is beside the Rock Shop of the Hard Rock Hotel.

The venue features a main dining area upstairs which is open for lunch and dinner, while the lower stage area and bar sets the atmosphere for guests who wish to dine with an attitude. Hard Rock Cafe Bali has a 450-seat capacity and nightly live entertainment staged in front of a stained-glass Elvis image.

Next to the Cafe is a merchandise store, the Rock Shop, where you can buy official quality Hard Rock Bali T-shirts and collectible pins. One-of-a-kind Rock T-shirts designed by artists like Bon Jovi, Green Day and Shakira make the T-shirts top shelf items. Specially designed Hard Rock collectibles include pins that display rock personalities, from the Spinning Bike and Rock House Series to the Roller Boogie collection.

To public visitors, those not staying at the adjacent Hard Rock Hotel Bali, parking may be a slight issue. Across the road is the Kuta Beach parking space that gets crowded during special concerts and events, therefore public transport is the most practical way to arrive.

Roxuai @ Alila Villas Uluwatu Bali

The new generation of luxury resorts in Bali are ultra-exclusive and very design-oriented. One of the prime examples is Alila Uluwatu. Heralded as the latest Sustainable Luxury Resort in Bali, Alila Uluwatu was built using mostly local materials to reduce its carbon footprint and its impact on the local environment. Even the landscaping was done using mostly local native plants.

Staking a stylish claim on Bali’s rugged Bukit Peninsula, Alila Villas Uluwatu is a cool, contemporary cliff-hanger of a resort which delivers dramatic eco-friendly design in a jaw-dropping setting. Panoramic views over the Indian Ocean complement architecturally striking pool villas, each with serene, minimalist interiors, seductive outdoor living spaces and personal butlers on tap. Stir in a top spa, fine dining and legendary surfing, and it's a delicious cocktail.

The Architects

The architects are WOHA from Singapore. Borrowing heavily from Carlo Scarpa, they have created a design that is simple in planning, yet very rich and stylish in details. The basic forms are rectilinear, augmented by careful detailing to give depth to the structures. Courtyards, sun-screens and gazebos are designed to catch the light and provide visual interest, besides serving as tranquil hideaways for the guests.

As with many Bali high-end resorts, the location is purposely remote and difficult to find. This small road seemed to go on forever before you reach the resort.

The main entrance porch - typically understated, except that here you have a whole coterie of hotel staff to greet you upon arrival.

The Alila Uluwatu is a resort which once you arrive, you don’t want to leave. The rates start at around USD 650 per night, so it is not cheap to enjoy such luxury - but it is definitely worth the money for the location, spectacular design, exclusivity and service. I would definitely stay here if I could afford it !

Cool Facilities :

Free WiFi throughout, library with books, DVDs and computers, spa, gym, yoga, gift shop, gardens. In rooms: personal butler service, flatscreen TV with satellite channels, CD/DVD players, preloaded iPod, Spa Alila toiletries, minibar, espresso machine, TWG Tea, private pool.
