Since I have been there the day before, I decided not to follow my friend. So what did I do all alone by myself?
Well, after the yummy breakfast, my friend left to meet up with the other two while I decided to go for a massage! Yes! A body scrub and massage to be exact!
I had the massage in my hotel room. It was an enjoyable two-hour massage and body scrub and I paid only 200,000 rupiah (RM74)!! Totally worth it, don't you agree?
After the refreshing massage, I actually felt like going to sleep, but it was time to meet up with my three friends for lunch.
We had lunch at Natrabu Restaurant in Sanur.
Do you like the three tiered umbrellas on both side of the entrance?
Natrabu, I discovered, is a famous Nasi Padang restaurant in Indonesia. They serve Minangkabau cuisine from Padang, a city in West Sumatra.
The special thing about this restaurant is that they do not provide you with a menu. I asked for a menu but they said they have none! So how to order?
Well, soon after we were seated, the waiters brought to our table a large selection of dishes!
OK, the selection of dishes were larger than what was shown in the photo above, but I only managed to take this photo! Oh, well....
We were supposed to pick which of the dishes we want! They would charge you only for the dishes you eat.
And so, we chose these....
We actually ate much more than what was shown above but I did not take photos of them all! That was because everyone was hungry and they could not wait for me to take pictures! Besides, none of my three friends knew I was a blogger! And I did not intend to tell them...haha!
My friends love the food, but honestly I did not find them that nice! It was not bad, but I certainly would not crave for them!
After lunch, we went to Pura Taman Ayun which our driver highly recommended. Well, as I love nature, the word "Taman" (meaning park or garden) sounded good to me!
Stay tuned for my next post on this famous Taman Ayun!

Nice 2nd day..
wow body scrub for 2 hours cost 200,000 bucks is a lot of $$$ hahaha. You must be in cloud 9 I presume.
Oh live menu huh!that's something new. food looking good leh. tQ
You didnt buy back the three tiers umbrellas? Something unique nice. tQ
How come you didn't spill the beans about being an avid blogger to your friends? Almost all my friends know I have a blog but not everyone reads them. That's ok with me coz not everyone has the time and space for blogging and reading blogs.
Mei Teng,
I don't tell (many of) my friends or colleagues, not to mention family members. :D
That's a nice place to have lunch.
What a nice way to spend the day eh? Massage then eat. Bliss... :)
But seeing the photo of the prawn sambal - my goodness! The oil!
Of course, my friends who are great cooks would say, you need to put plenty of oil to make the dish taste good.
