Bali Laguna

Had dinner at Bali Laguna at 华山路, the popular Indonesian restaurant in Shanghai. The food was pretty much alright for those who had never tasted authentic Indonesian food. I personally feel that it's kinda sweet.. After all, it's made to cater to the local taste as it could only get good ratings when the local likes it..

The ambience was great though with fine dining-cum-bar concept. The view was no doubt wonderful- sitting in the middle of the park with a nice pool, you wouldn't even remember that you were actually in Shanghai! Okay I'm exxagerating :p But the view was real fantastic!

One drawback is that the price is ridiculously expensive. That explains the crowds of 95% being foreigners.. A glass of es teler, es cendol or coconut costs RMB40 (Rp 50,000!!), while meat dishes (chicken, lamb, beef) are around RMB 68 and seafood from RMB 98 onwards.. Dessert costs around RMB 40/plate.. The serving is pretty small, enough only for 2-4 people.















Wonderful eh ;)
