People always ask about the food we eat when we travel. Balinese food can best be described as rice with curry, spices and, depending on your choice, either tofu or meat, frequently wrapped in or on a banana leaf. Cocoanut and peanut sauces predominate. We never saw any chopsticks, they eat with spoon and fork.
Typically, we ate one meal out, usually around 2-3PM, breakfast in the condo, and snacks for dinner. For breakfast, our focus was on fruit. We discovered five new ones: mangostein, rombatune, palmello, water fruit, a new type of cocoanut, and our favorite – snake skin fruit. Below are pictures of our culinary adventures.
This cocoanut was soft and creamy, not the hard flaky type we are used to.

Here I am buying our morning eggs, they come in sacks.
Here is our morning fruit before they are pealed.
Gloria is holding our biggest surprise. This is an avocado and chocolate smoothie! Had to try this one, not bad. (They grow on you)
This was a medley I ordered for lunch. I could ID about half the items. All good though.
