    Sebastian Cafe – Kissimmee, FL

    Thank you to my mentor, Orlando Rene Perez, for taking me to this local restaurant for some awesome Latino food. I used to live near kissimmee so I haven’t seen this place since I moved but I’ve always wanted to try it. They offer Colombian comfort dishes and lunch specials.

    Inside, the restaurant is cafe-style.

    You can see the open kitchen and chef making lunch.

    The portions are fairly large so the price for what you get is not bad at all. I would definitely recommend checking them out.

  • Lomie “Amen” Pinangsia – Jakarta, Indonesia

    Lomie “Amen” Pinangsia – Jakarta, Indonesia

    We had to leave Bali and get back to Jakart for my event at Institute Kesenian Jakarta (Jakarta Institute of Arts).

    After the event, Joshua took me to this area in Jakarta Barat (West Jakarta) to try some local, legendary food – Lomie “Amen” Pinangsia.

    This place specializes in Lo Mie. I think many American-Chinese fast food offers Lomie but it’s definitely not the same.

    According to locals, this place has been selling Lomie for more than 40 years and is part of their food culture’s history.

    Josh also showed me this new street food I had never seen before, called Kue Ape or serabi which means tittie cakes because apparently it looks like breasts.

    It’s like a pancake with a soft and fluffy center, surrounded with thin and crispy crepes.

    It’s a very popular traditional street food commonly found in Indonesia, especially in Jakarta and other major cities.

    They put the pancake in a bag which reminded me of street snacks from my childhood.

    Location:
    Lomie “Amen” Pinangsia
    Jl. Pinangsia Timur No. 12A
    West Jakarta

  • Jinbaran – Bali, Indonesia-

    Jinbaran – Bali, Indonesia-

    On the last day in Bali, we decided to do some shopping.

    The Havaianas Sandals outlet was having a huge sale so we were able to cop some great deals.

    At lunch, we ate one Bali’s famous pork dishes. It was delicious!

    Team Foodies!

    The set up for dinner was amazing! We were able to watch the sunset while eating seafood.

    The Jinbaran sunset was beautiful and totally worth the trip!

    Thanks Josh, Budi, and Rendy for an amazing dinner before heading back to Jakarta.

    Krisna was a good place to stop by. It had a huge gift shop and everything you need to bring back home for friends and family, plus prices were very reasonable.

    Time to say goodbye to Bali. It was a wonderful and memorable trip. I can’t wait go back again.

  • Garuda Wisnu Kencana Cultural Park (Ungasan) – Bali, Indonesia

    Garuda Wisnu Kencana Cultural Park (Ungasan) – Bali, Indonesia

    Thanks @buditandiono for sending me these pics since I accidentally deleted all my Bali pics from my last day.

    I couldn’t wait to see the Wisnu statue.

    This place was awesome!

    Garuda is a bird creature from Hindu mythology that is a mix of eagle and human features.

    In the park you can also enjoy the famous traditional Barong dance performances.

    The park workers were nice enough to take pictures with me.

    The ticket price wasn’t bad at all. It was a nice place to check out and learn about Balinese mythology.

  • La Laguna – Bali, Indonesia

    La Laguna – Bali, Indonesia

    This place was inspired by horses and Spanish Gypsy heritage. It took almost two intense years of designing by Gonzalo and Sandra Assiego.

    Located on the sands that border Berawa and Batu Belig, when you walk on the beach, it looks like a mystical, fantasy world. The lagoon opens out to the expansive Bali shoreline and their famous Bali sunsets.

    There was a club where you could get drinks.

    There was lots of seating to just sit and relax.

     

    The sunset was stunning!

    This wooden bridge is a popular spot for photo ops.

    You’ll definitely want to check out this cool place if you stop by Kuta in Bali. For more information, check out: https://lalagunabali.com.

  • Habitual Quench & Feed – Bali, Indonesia

    Habitual Quench & Feed – Bali, Indonesia

    Before heading to the beach and hanging out with a couple friends from Jakarta, we decided to have a quick lunch which was a place located near a farm.

    It was cafe with a very western style feel. I loved the garden set up. 

    The interior was clean and simple. I really liked the lighting fixtures.

    There was a small view of the kitchen.

    They served breakfast and had a good drink selection.

    Their fries were cut thicker, which is my favorite, and the burger was juicy and tender.

    The food, presentation, and dining experience were all great! I would definitely recommend checking them out.

  • 2019 Mercedes-Benz GLA 250

    2019 Mercedes-Benz GLA 250

    I finally got my dream ride — the 2019 Mercedes-Benz GLA 250, which is Luxury Subcompact SUV by Mercedes-Benz GLA-Class. I’ve always wanted a small crossover car.

    Since it’s a small crossover car, it’s pretty average sized compared to a SUV but still has decent room.

    Overall, the price compared to other models, was a good deal.

    It’s good for a small family and since we’ve recently welcomed our baby girl, Neesa, we have plenty of room in the back for her.
