HALAL food in Sanur, Bali

Bismillahirahmanirahim

:::In the name of ALLAH, The Most Gracious, Most Merciful:::

~PATIENCE IS VITAL~

I love staying at Sanur Paradise Plaza Hotel & Suites. It's one of the most beautiful hotels I've ever enjoyed staying in. You should try it! And as usual, I love to eat. And here are the list of some of the restaurants I've visited during my stay.

BUMBU DESA
Jl. Raya Puputan No 42 Renon-Denpasar
Open: 10.00-22.00
Recommended menu: Gurame Goreng, Ayam Bumbu Desa, Sambal Goreng (free sambal with lalapan that is a must try)

PONDOK KURING
Jl. Raya Puputan No 56 Renon-Denpasar
Open: 10.00-22.00
Recommended menu: Nasi Bakar, Gurame Sambal Mangga


NATRABU ( the restaurant is located only a couple of kilometres away from Sanur Paradise Plaza Hotel.)
Jl. Bypass Ngurah Rai
Recommended Menu: Ayam Gulai, Ayam Bakar, Terong Balado, Telor Balado, Singkong, Rendang Sapi


I've not been to the ones mentioned below but in a pamphlet that I took from Pondok Kuring, these restaurants are said to be halal. One even has a Majelis Ulama Indonesia certificate on it. Perhaps, if you are here, you may want to give it a try:

SIOMAY deeBali
Jln. Cokroaminoto No 320 Ubung, Denpasar.
Open: 10.00-22.00
(has MUI Certificate)



TOP GUNG
Jl. Teuku Umar No. 168 Block 1,
Depan Fave Hotel Denpasar-Bali.
Open: 12.00-24.00

Mie Goreng MAKASSAR
Jl. Teuku Umar No. 65C,
Dekat Simpang Enam.
Open: 11.00-23.00

The pamphlet I mentioned earlier is actually produced by Hallo Restaurants, a delivery service that offers food order and delivery from any of the restaurants listed in the pamphlet to nearby hotels/villas/residences. To order you may call them up at: (0361) 218 2000/3000.

Just a warning though, it may be difficult for calls to get through. And the prices per dish are more expensive than at the restaurants but they don't charge extra for the delivery service. However, their extra charges overall may be cheaper compared to the cab fare to and from any of the restaurants.

STAY POSITIVE!

 Bismillahirahmanirahim

:::In the name of ALLAH, The Most Gracious, Most Merciful:::

~PATIENCE IS VITAL~

I read this poem earlier today. It's worth sharing. Have a read.

I asked for strength and God gave me difficulties to make me strong.
I asked for wisdom and God gave me problems to solve.
I asked for prosperity and God gave me brawn and brain to work.
I asked for courage and God gave me dangers to overcome.
I asked for patience and God placed me in situations where I was forced to wait.
I asked for love and God gave me troubled people to help.
I asked for favours and God gave me opportunities.
I received nothing I wanted.
I received everything I needed.
And my prayer has been answered.

Faith Takes Time

 Bismillahirahmanirahim

:::In the name of ALLAH, The Most Gracious, Most Merciful:::

~PATIENCE IS VITAL~

I know God can heal all things...
broken lives and broken wings.
Only He can mend a heart
that time has torn apart.
As the seasons make their turn
there's a lesson to be learned.
Broken wings take time to mend
before I learn to fly again.
~Finding Hope when life's not fair, page 151, by Lee Ezell.

If you are feeling down and disappointed, I suggest you read this book. It's great! I love it so much.

*Hugs to all*
