Baby Code is the undersize version of the extremely ef-
fective ORC Code, designed to outperform in highly pres-
sured environment for wary fishes. Do not be fooled by its
diminutive size because this baby still retain all the fan-
tastic action of the bigger Code, including the Magnetic
Transfer System which allows for greater casting distance.

The Abu Garcia

Fantasista
Aurora
Testing Grounds: Barramundi Pond, Jugra
Series: Fantasista Aurora
Model: FAS601ML
Opponents: Barramundi
A bu Garcia has this series of rods that I love;
the Fantasista series. Soon to come is the all new
Fantasista Aurora. Fans of Abu Garcia will remem-
ber a reel called the Abu Garcia Revo Aurora, a
beautiful reel designed by Abu Garcias Japanese
product team years ago. Lovely.
11
Combination Of Two Greats
The Fantasista Aurora is a combination of both us-

ing the strength, lightweightness, sensitivity, and
feel of the Fantasista rods, and the beautiful co-
lours of the Revo Aurora reel. Combining both of
them brings about a very beautiful rod that fishes
really well; like a well designed exotic super car,
the kind of car you go to when you get bored of the
Ferrari.
Well Balanced
The Fantasista Aurora is a very well balanced rod.

It is lightweight and goes well with light weight
reels. I tested the rod with my favourite spinning
reel, the Pflueger Patriarch. It was certainly a
match made in heaven.
13
High Quality Components
The Fantasista Aurora comes with high quality com-

ponents by Fuji. It comes with the beautiful Fuji
TVS reel seat that allowed for more feel and better
sensitivity. The Fantasista Aurora uses Fujis new
concept KR guides (Semi Micro Guides) of which
provides for the added advantage of tangle free
fishing.
^Fujis KR Concept Guide.
15
Good Sensitivity
The Fantasista Aurora is made using high quality

graphite blank that is lightweight and provides for
high levels of sensitivity. Combining it with the Fuji
TVS reel seat adds for better sensitivity as it allows
for more contact to the blank.
Field Test
The Fantasista Aurora cast exceptionally well.

With a tip that has very low amounts of wobble
during the cast, every cast is confident and accu-
rate. Casting distance is also very good getting
very good distances.
17
Fish Management
The Fantasista Aurora manages the fights well too.

We took our Medium Light (ML) action rod to do
battle at the barramundi pond in Jugra, Selangor.
We battled a few good sized ones weighing close
to 2kg and it has enough backbone power to easily
manage them. Definitely more than enough power
needed for a swift victory.
Summary
The Abu Garcia Fantasista Aurora is definitely a

rod I will definitely get for my fishing. It is light-
weight, sensitive, cast well, fights well, and it
looks darn good. No reason to not get one other
than the issue has to do with a tiny bank account
and shallow pockets.

Pflueger Supreme XT
P flueger has always been on the lighter side of

things and the same thing can be seen with the Su-
preme XT of which Pflueger claims to be the light-
est in its class. Its light weightiness is achieved
with the use of a magnesium body and rotor, light-
weight carbon fibre handle, and ported aluminium
spool.
Modest Design
When it comes to design, the Supreme XT is modestly

designed. Not too flashy and not too loud, this reel may
not create a commotion but its subtle metallic candy or-
ange linings on the gun metal coloured aluminium spool,
and the sporty looking light weight handle holds hints of
its character.
25
Casting Abilities
The aluminium spool comes fitted with rubber which al-

lows braided lines to hold on too and not slip. The Su-
preme XT is not a sleeper. With braided lines filled in it is
ready to take on fights and the tough aluminium spool is
not one to crack under pressure.
Smooth Performance
The Supreme XT is a smooth performer. It is smoother

than some of the reels that carry a higher price tag. The
smoothness is unlike some of the more high end reels
that feel almost vacuum like. There is a hint of connectiv-
ity of the handle to the gears. Just a hint.
27
Ready For The Sea
The Supreme XT comes ready to take on the finned crea-

tures of the sea. It comes with 10 HPCR (High Perfor-
mance Corrosion Resistant) bearings to resist the cor-
rosive qualities of saltwater, and a sealed carbon fibre
drag system that blocks out water, and provides for what
Pflueger claims to be a 14lb max drag on this size 40 reel.
Lab Test Line: Berkley Nanofil
Poundage: 17lb
Back at our lab we put the Supreme XT to the test. With a

14lb max drag target we pushed up the drag and the tor-
ture begun. It easily touched 14lb and then it maxed out
at 18.5lb; very impressive. The drag remained smooth
with no sticky feel.
29
Field Test Line: Berkley Nanofil
Poundage: 17lb
To test the Supreme XTs prowess in the real world

we brought it to the Natural Exotic pond in Rawang,
Selangor (Malaysia). We pitted it against the some
of the hard fighting predators that lie in wait for a
battle. We cast our baits near the pillars of the res-
taurant that sits on them.
Good Control
The Supreme XT had a few fights being able to man-

age the Amazonian red tail catfishes that took our
bait. There is enough drag to pull the fishes out of
the danger zones. The drag is also smooth even on
high drag. There was no sign of stickiness from the
drag even after a few fights.
31
Summary
The Pflueger Supreme XT may be a modestly design

reel but when it comes to fishing, it is by no means mod-
est. It is smooth (both cranking and drag), it has a strong
enough drag, and it fights well. One more thing I like to
add is that it lays lines in the spool well too. So, here you
go... a reel in a simple modest package.

The Abu Garcia

Veritas 2.0
Testing Grounds: Natural Exotic Pond Rawang

Series: Veritas 2.0
Model: VRTC662-5 (Medium)
Opponents: Amazon Red Tail Catfish
T he first Abu Garcia Veritas rod came about some
8 years ago and it was a hit. Abu Garcia recently
launched the Veritas 2.0, a pearl white version of
the earlier Veritas of which was plain white. But
there is more to this new 2.0.
37
A Rod For Stormtroopers
If you are a fan of Star Wars you will know why I

call the Veritas 2.0 the rod for Stormtroopers. The
pearl white and black design of the rods conjures
up images of Stormtroopers. It simply suits them
well. Not many superstitious folks like white rods
but personally I think the Veritas 2.0 looks good.
Components
The Veritas 2.0 comes battle ready with lightweight

Titanium alloy guides with SiC inserts which is
great for heat distribution (reducing line fatigue)
which translates to reduced line wear and tear. It
also comes with quality EVA grips and Abu Garcia
designed extreme exposure reel seat that allows
for more blank contact and thus better feel.
39
Blank
The Veritas 2.0 uses what Abu Garcia calls the Spi-
ral Carbon Core. The Spiral Carbon Core is simply
a strand of carbon that is rolled within the blank
from one section of the blank to a lower section (tip
to butt). This creates a spiral after it is rolled. This
is said to improve the break strength of the rod.
Overall Balance
The Veritas 2.0 that I have is slightly tip heavy

which is good since it is a casting rod. Fixing a
reel to it brings the weight back a little and light-
ens the rod slightly. Overall it feel good in the
hands while fishing.
41
> The rear EVA handle of the Veritas 2.0 looks good.
> The aluminium end cap of the Veritas 2.0.
43
Field Test
We took the Veritas 2.0 to the Exotic Pond in Rawa-

ng, Selangor, Malaysia and pit it against the gladi-
ators there (Amazon red tail catfish). The rod cast
well shooting our baits right into the zone where
the red tails waited. Before long we were in battle.
The Amazon red tail catfish may be hard fighters
but the Veritas 2.0 stood its ground.
The Veritas Spiral Carbon Core blank took the
beatings well and has enough power to punch
back, turning the heads of the gladiators away
from the snags. The battles didnt take long on
high drag setting.
45
Summary
The Abu Garcia Veritas 2.0 is a good rod with

enough fighting power. It is also a reasonably light
rod. Some people may not agree with the colour
white but I personally like its cosmetics. More im-
portant to me is how it performs and it has done
well. Calling all Stormtroopers, it is time to go catch
some fish.

Introducin The Asian Angler
I am Batman (deep husky voice)... and this
is my reel. I like all thing black but black alone
is boring. I like mine sporty too and the inven-
tion of carbon fibre has been a blessing. Not
only does carbon fibre look sporty and cool; it
also is light weight. That is why I chose this reel,
the Penn Fierce II.
51
Sporty In Black
Just like all of Batmans toys, the Penn Fierce II

comes in black, with black carbon fibre strips on
the rotor and the handle. It comes with a black EVA
know that is contoured for a comfortable hold. The
bail arm and wire is black and built thick.
Lightweight
Since I carry lots of equipment with me whether

fighting crime or fishing; my tools need to be light.
The Penn Fierce II is pretty light comparing to
other reels within the same range. I believe most
of you will like it light too.
53
Tough And Strong
Looks and being lightweight alone will not be good

enough for the fishing I do. I want a reel that is
tough and strong. If youve battled villains the like
of the Joker and Penguin youll see that weak tools
will not be of help. I do not underestimate the power
and strength of the fishes I am targeting too. Ama-
zon redtail cafishes are no softies and so are grou-
pers; lets not forget the mighty giant snakeheads.
Braid Ready
My friend, Spidey or Spiderman uses webs to

help get from one place to another fast. Strand for
strand his web is said to be 10 times the strength
of steel. Thus why I prefer braided lines and use
them all the time. Diameter to diameter, they are
about twice the strength of mono. Maybe more.
Hence why I prefer to use braid ready spools and
this reel has it.
55
Take It From Batman
Well, if its good enough for me, it should be good

enough for you too. Oh, there is one problem. The
new Penn Fierce II is not in the market yet. It is tar-
geted to be launch mid 2017. Guess you will have
to be patient and wait for its launching. Meanwhile,
happy fishing.

Baby Code
B aby Code is the snack sized derivative of
the popular and extremely effective Code sink-
ing pencil lure.
The smaller framed Baby Code is designed to

be used in highly pressured environment for
wary fishes. At 48mm length, this lure is going
to be killer in environment where fishes are fre-
quent by luring anglers and waters which have
smaller bait fishes. Fishes will be less hesitant
to take a bite at this innocent looking lure.
59
Weighing at 4g along with the built-in innovative
magnetic weight transfer system, allows the Baby
Code to have unbelievable casting distance despite
its tiny appearance. Even with normal setup and
baitcasting gears that are meant for heavier lures,
this lure can still fly!
Do not be fooled by Baby Code diminutive size
because it still retain all the fantastic and erratic
action of the bigger Code, including its seducing
fluttering fall action. Making the Baby Code one
of the most action-packed lure that fishes cannot
resist in finesse size.
61
Available in 7 known attractive color, the Baby Code
will definitely be a successful fish catchingweapon
of choice for finesse anglers and everyday anglers
alike!

Volante
UV
63
T he Rodford Volante Slow Jig is widely ac-
cepted as the best Slow Fall jig in the market
since its inception by MGFA during late 2014.
The amazing body profile of Volante is best

known for its ability to fall faster than most slow
jig in the market which often plague by the issue
of not dropping fast enough to reach the strike
zone. Once at the bottom, the crazy erratic ac-
tion made possible by Volante is hard to dispute
and is easily one of the most fish loved jig once
it is pitched, long fall or simply just jigging at
normal pace.
The versatility and fish catching ability of the
Volante, including its ultimate economical price
eventually made it to the jig loved most by every
saltwater anglers in the region.
65
Boasting the best Glow In The Dark paint that glows
the brightest and longest for such an wallet friendly
jig, the Volante will now finally comes together with
UV coating as well to make it the best of the best
slow jig ever made! This feature packed slow jig is
a must have in the future to fish in all water condi-
tion to achieve best fishing result!
Featuring the ever complete line-up from 30g,

Penn
Fathom
Reel
Testing Grounds: Pulau Jarak
Series: Penn Fathom
Opponents: Snappers
T he PENN Fathom reel is a lightweight power-
house of a reel. Being a full metal body reel it is
built tough to handle the hard fighting fishes as
well as the corrosive properties of seawater. It is
not only built tough, it also looks tough.
69
Precise Gear Alignment
Being a full metal body reel, the side plates are

not only tough. They keep the gears in precise
alignment even under heavy loads allowing the
angler to go into battle with confidence battling
monsters.
Smooth Drag
The drag of a reel is crucial when battling a fish,

especially a trophy fish. The Fathom comes with
Penns proven powerful HT-100 drag system that
stays smooth from the start to the end of the range
helping the angler subdue fish after fish.
71
Fast In Its Class
The Fathom may not be the Ferrari of reels but

it is fast. It has a gear ratio of 6.0:1. If modern
day low profile baitcasters are the Ferraris, the
Fathom would probably be the Ford Mustangs;
fast but not as fast yet more muscle.
Playing With
Gladiators
We took it to Pulau Jarak (Jarak Island) on the

west coast of the Malaysian Peninsular to see
how it performed. It took on snappers after snap-
pers without giving up. It performed well through-
out the test. It remained smooth under pressure,
handled the brutes well with lovely drag, and help
land fishes.

The Asian Angler
Introduction To
Bottom Fishing Baits
B ottom fishing is one of the more relaxing meth-

ods of fishing. All one need to do is to find a fishing
spot, cast the bait in and wait for a bite while chat-
ting with friends or reading a book; if youre not in
a competition that is.
Baits are important as they are what we use to at-
tract fish and entice them to bite or what we an-
glers call take the bait. There are various baits for
bottom fishing and they can be broken into dough
baits, natural baits, and live baits.
In this issue let us take a look at dough baits and
some of the fishes that can be caught using dough.
97
Dough Baits
Think of anything and everything made of dough

and you will not go wrong. Dough baits are simply
baits made using dough. Examples of dough baits
include bread (and buns), biscuits, chapati, dough
balls, etc. Yes, they all entice Fish but there are
certain things that can be done to up the effective-
ness of these baits.
Dough To Bait
Dough comes in powdered form. Dough alone is so

very boring. Most fishes wouldnt even take anoth-
er look let alone bite. Imagine eating pizza without
anything on it. Adding flavour makes the pizza ed-
ible. Adding cheese, salami, olives, pineapple, etc.
turns the pizza into am irresistible mouth watering
meal. That is what you need to do to entice Fish.
99
When it comes to dough baits there are many things
that can be added. Amongst the usual are chicken
feed & fish pellets mixed with tapioca flour; one of
the formulas I used to mix during my bottom fishing
years long ago. I have caught plenty of fish using
this mix.
Although it will leave your hands smelling like chick-
en feed for days, fishes like various carp and catfish
species, tilapia, etc. do fall prey to it. In fact, the
smellier the better. Unfortunately, non angling col-
leagues will remain just that; colleagues, as they
will not be able to understand why on earth you use
chicken scented perfume.
101
Bread
Instead of getting your hands dirty mixing your own

dough you can use bread. Gardenia works better
than the cheap variety but our brand conscious fish-
es has since fallen in love with Masimo and they
want the one in green packaging. It is unbelievable
how anglers used to debate this.
Bread alone catches fish but adding scent will cer-
tainly improve your chances. Certain scents like va-
nilla, pandan, banana essence, etc. work. One thing
that has been a killer scent (to me) is the oil from a
can of tuna.
103
Here is a tip... kill two birds with one stone. Buy a
can of tuna in oil and a loaf of bread. Pour the oil
out into a different container. Take the tuna and
and make sandwiches. Add the oil to some of the
bread that you intend to use as bread. Now you are
ready to picnic and fish at the same time. Yes, I am
speaking from experience.
I have caught lots of fish doing so. Amongst them
are various catfish, some cichlid species, and brown
snakeheads (paypond). I have used these oil added
bread as fish attractant also known as ground bait-
ing, and they work like magic.
105
Other Scents
Fruit essence, fish oil, salt, belacan, and a host of

other scents work, some better and some lesser.
You will have to experiment and there is a reason.
The reason is that fishes at different ponds have a
special little liking towards certain food and these
fishes will take baits with that scent more readily.
That is why anglers that keep catching fish at a
certain pond keep their dough baits formula a se-
cret. Use the same formula in another pond and he
may not be catching fish.
Commercial Dough Mix
There are dough baits that have already been mixed

available in the market. All one needs to do is add
water and one is ready to fish. Yes, they do work.
Then again let me stress that they work better at
some ponds and not so in some other.
107
Summary
Dough baits are great baits to fish with. They are

effective but certain factors other than the baits that
you use play a part as well, such as diets, water
conditions, pond environment, and of course luck
too. So wear your lucky shirt or underwear on your
next bottom fishing trip.
^Fish oil capsules are good scent to use to
attact fish to your bait.

Junior Anglers By Amirul Irfan
Fun with the Berkley Powerbait

3.8 Saltwater Slinky Shad
O ne of my favourite baits to fish with is the 3.8

Berkley Powerbait Saltwater Slinky Shad. The Slinky
Shad is a deadly swimbait when it comes to Striped
Snakeheads. The Slinky Shad is available in two siz-
es which are 2.8 and 3.8 to fit multiple situations.
The Slinky Shad works well on multiple retrieves. One of
the easiest ways is a straight retrieve. My favourite way to
fish it is fishing it weightless in weeds and lily pads. This
Striped Snakehead took it right after shaking it on top of
lily pads. I used a 3/0 Mustad EWG Hook and rigged the
Slinky Shad weedless.
111
This fish slammed the Slinky Shad right after it
dropped from grass. The clear colour with silver
fleck is my favourite as it matches natural baitfish
colours. Snakeheads even eat it even if it is laying
motionless.
This snakehead blasted the Slinky Shad in thick
hydrilla. Eventhough the Slinky Shad wasnt in
the water this snakehead went for it. Matching
the hatch and fishing during prime feeding time
early in the morning was key.
113
This 45cm Striped Snakehead gulped the Slinky
Shad in an open area between reeds. The area had
baitfish congregating which caught my attention. A
quick cast with a stop and go retrieve fooled this
fish which is my biggest for the year. I also noticed
that this fish was recaptured. I released it 10 days
earlier after landing it with the Berkley Powerbait
Kasumi Craw.
Passing the Slinky Shad through key points like
grass islands and structure are good approach-
es to produce bites. This 30-ish cm snakehead
came from an area with a lot of reeds. It missed
the Slinky Shad for roughly 3-5 times before I
finally managed a good hookset.
115
This snakehead took the Slinky Shad just a me-
ter in front of me. A great ending for a great birth-
day quick session. I dropped the Slinky Shad over
some grass and a solid whoop sound was a sig-
nal to set the hook hard with my Abu Garcia Revo
Rocket and Abu Garcia Veracity Pro 10-20lb.With
30lb Berkley Super Fireline, a solid hookset was no
problem. The feeling of making a solid hookset with
a solid fish at the end of the line is amazing.
All snakeheads in this article were released.
Let them grow bigger and give other anglers a
chance to catch them and who knows you might
catch them again as well. The snakehead I re-
captured had a little increase in weight. Re-
capturing it was beyond my expectations and it
drives me to continue releasing snakeheads for
future fun.

Lumut, Perak,
Malaysia.
Interesting:
A secluded
peaceful para-
dise.
^The lobby of the Swiss-Garden Beach Resort Damai
Laut.
A s an angler I have visited Lumut many times.

Lumut is a doorway to many good fishing spots the
likes of Pulau Sembilan (Nine Islands) and Pulau
Jarak (Jarak Island). However, I have not gone there
just for a holiday with my family, unless we intend to
go to yet another island called Pangkor Island.
119
A Paradise In Lumut
^A night shot of the swimming pool and waterfalls.
Recently I stayed at the Swiss-Garden Beach Resort

Damai Laut in Lumut during my participation in the
Swiss-Garden Damai Laut Food and Fun Hunt, and I
must say that it was a pleasant surprise. The Swiss-
Garden Beach Resort Damai Laut is a paradise for
those wanting a place to relax.
The resort sits deep in a secluded beach area of Teluk
Kopiah Forest Reserve. Surrounded by greenery, the
Swiss-Garden Beach Resort Damai Laut offers fresh
air and relaxing sights, a good place to de-stress and
forget about life for awhile.
Lovely Room
I pay a lot of attention to rooms and bed (especially

bed) since there is where I recharge my energy for
the next days travel. Although we didnt get one
with the lovely sea view, I am happy with the room.
It is well decorated, comfortable, and more impor-
tantly; clean.
The bed and pillows offered a goodnights relax-
ing sleep (and naps) being comfortable and clean. I
slept well and woke refreshed. The air-conditioning
is superb as I love lying under a comforter in a cold
room. Thoroughly enjoyed it.
121
A basket of fruits placed on the coffee table wel-
comed is into our room. Not just the usual one or
two bananas and / or apples. This time we got three
or four bananas, apples, grapes, dragon fruit, kiwis,
etc.; a proper fruit basket.
Activities
There are lots of activities that one can do (or not

do). For the more adventurous there is the all ter-
rain vehicle ride of which is lots of fun, riding round
a sandy track. There is horse riding, a host of water
sports activities, jungle walks, etc.
123
Should you prefer a more relaxing holiday you could
take a dip in the pool, go for a massage at the Sa-
mara Spa, etc. If you suddenly feel the urge to tor-
ture your muscles, there is a gym for you to go to to
workout those muscles. They have a something like
a kids club too with scheduled activities.
A Mixture
Holes & Tees
Antique furnitures.
Just before arriving at the hotel one will pass a golf

course. This here is the Damai Laut Golf & Country
Club, a lovely place for golfers to put their balls into
holes, 18 of them in fact (that didnt come out right).
The par-72 championship course is designed by
Ronald W. Fream, overlooking both the river and
straits. For those who prefer the use of a buggy,
this here is a course for you.
125
I Need More Time
^Walking about the beach in the evening.
I so want to spend more days there but other respon-

sibilities took priority over extending my trip. Anyhow,
I will be back there again as I want to experience more
of the resort and enjoy my time there. Next time I will
be spending more time in the resort experiencing it
and perhaps, I will tell you more.

Spiced Pumpkin Cafe & Bakery
D oing the same thing over and over again seems to

be our thing. We usually frequent the same restaurants
over and over again probably because of its familiarity,
convenience, etc. Once in a while we look for something
different. If your once in a while is up, try this place
called Spiced Pumpkin Cafe & Bakery in Shah Alam,
Selangor, Malaysia.
Malaysian & Palestinian Love Story
It has been said that love knows no boundaries or bor-

ders and this here is proof. Although Spiced Pumpkin
Cafe & Bakery started with Nur Azizarin and Mas Zu-
hairin Zubir joining hands and going into business; the
story started much earlier.
Nur Azizarin fell in love and married her late husband,
a chef from Palestine. Nearing the end of his life, Nurs
husband handed over to her his recipes. Today, through
the hands, heart, and mind of Nur and her business part-
ner, Mas Zuhairin; her late husbands legacy lives on in
the delicious dishes served at Spiced Pumpkin Cafe &
Bakery.
129
Maghlubah Rice
One very delicious main course that we had was the

Maghlubah Rice that is cooked in a pot and brought
to the table. The pot is then overturned (like when one
turns over a bucket of sand when building a sandcastle)
and the rice with everything else cooked in it comes out
according to the shape of the pot.
In the mix came tender lamb (mutton), a mixture of nuts,
carrots, potatoes, raisins, etc. This dish is super tasty
and offers a good dash of cholesterol. For those worried
about cholesterol there is the option of chicken instead
of lamb. I enjoyed this dish thoroughly and so did every-
one else on the table.
Tres Leches
When it comes to desserts I like mine sweet and I think

I may have found a heavenly one in the form of Tres
Leches, Spanish for three milk a dessert that uses
three types of milk of which if memory serves me well are
evaporated milk, condensed milk, and fresh milk. This
sweet delightful dessert comes with a cake drowned in
sweet milk, topped with a slice of peach, strawberries,
and blueberries.
131
Kunafa
Another lovely dessert for those whose preference of

desserts are one that is lower in sweetness, the Kunafa
would be one to try. It is fried crispy shreds of orange
dough stuffed with a cheesy filling, and showered with
bits of pistachios. For those that like it sweeter, adding
syrup to it gives it the needed sweetness.
Pita Nachos
Now, if youre a big fan of nachos and you think Mexico

makes the best nachos in the world, here comes com-
petition. The pita nachos here are super yummy. They
may be a little saltier than usual but they taste delicious
having been fried with their special herbs and spices
(secret formula). This is a must try.
133
Certainly A Must Visit
^Yes, they do have healthy food too the likes of this salad.
Well, if youre in Selangor or Kuala Lumpur, I highly rec-

ommend that you have at least one meal here at the
Spiced Pumpkin Cafe & Bakery. It certainly is worth a
visit. Do not blame me should you over eat. Everyone
who ate there that evening over ate; a testament to the
good tasty food served.

Bali & Spice, Da-Men

Subang Jaya
I f youre got a big appetite and you love eating food

flavoured with lots of spices, why not take a trip to Bali...
errr, okay, I am just kidding. You can have lovely, tasty,
Balinese cuisine here in Malaysia and one of these res-
taurants Bali & Spice by Ole-Ole Bali.
Nice Setup
Looking for a place to eat one day we headed to a shop-

ping mall called Da-Men. We wanted to dine in some
place nice since we were celebrating a birthday and the
ambience of Bali & Spice caught my eye. Although it did
not look like a high-end dining place on Fifth Avenue, it
certainly looked nice.
137
Balinese Cuisine
I ordered Siap Bumbu or Balinese roasted chicken with

lemongrass marinate. The portioning was really good.
More importantly, the meal was delicious. The chicken
on its own tasted a little bland but the chilli paste was re-
ally good although tongue melting spicy. The vegetable
side it came with was lovely.
Another set we ordered is the nasi campur of which is
a mixture of Balinese grilled prawns, squid, fish, chick-
en, and sate lilit (it is like chicken satay skewered with
lemongrass). The food is superb. Every mouth full is ac-
companied by the bursting of flavours from the spices
used. The chilli paste can be quite a torture as it burns
the tongue but it taste so good one just cannot stop eat-
ing it.
139
Decent Prices
^The chilli sauce on the left is really a tongue burner.
Personally I find the prices there to be slightly above av-

erage but decent due to the portioning, ambience, and
good service rendered. When I have friends over and
I want to see them having difficulty walking yet happy,
this is where I bring them. Certainly worth every cent.
Location
^Tasty fried chicken dish. I cannot remember its name.
