Detention Room PIK : Being Detained Has Never Been This Good

"There's nothing better than a good friend, except a good friend with chocolate."

I practically lived by the quote this afternoon. I called out my college friend who hasn't been in touch for quite a while. The last time we met was in a wedding where I would be busy queueing for kambing guling while he's out there picking up chicks. That being said, we have a lot to catch up. Detention room sounds like a perfect place for two former sophomore badboys. 

Stories upon stories was brought up while sipping on Hot Milk Chocolate. One that particularly interest me was how he's a changed man now. That and also the fact that the cocoa was served at right temperature and wasn't powder based. Meaning, it's melted from pieces of chocolate bar. This resulted in a creamier texture than your instant Cadbury or the popular malaysian Kakao. 

Hot Milk Chocolate - IDR 30k

This friend of mine used to be a verbal hard-headed spoiled punk. I remember I used to be the one preaching him, now the wheel has turned. To hear his life-changing encounters in a much mature tone is good news. As good as this BYOB Burger (yes, you could build your own burger here!).  Mine was a soft bun burger with single beef patty, topped with onions, cheese, and BBQ sauce. The only thing missing for me was the lack of texture play. If only there's an option for crispy pork bacon topping, it would've been heavenly! 

Oh, did I mention the wedges on the sides? Skin on baby! I've always been a fan of potatoes. I even had an extra platter of Fries Nation. It's a mix of shoestrings, curly fries, and wedges. All in one bowl. And for IDR 24k it is definitely worth it.

As we munch on, I couldn't get my attention out of my friend's Deep Fried Chocolate Bar. I had it the other day, you could see the picture on my twitter @Wanderbites. I could still recall the sweet sticky Snickers bar half melted on the inside with extra chocolate dressings on the outside. It was sinfully scrumptious, although I believe the world is still divided into two, Team Snickers and Team Mars. I'm on the second team. That means, I'd still vote for deep-fried Mars bar in Australia's Bondi beach anytime of the day. Which side are you on? 

*burp*

Are these too much for lunch? Not at all. It is worth every space in my belly and a two hour well spent. Remember what Dono-Kasino-Indro said at the end of their movies: "Makanlah sebelum makan itu dilarang."

Bye now Biters. Don't forget to let me know here or on twitter @Wanderbites if you're on Snickers team or Mars team. ;)

Flapjaks - Pancakes, Crepes, & Kuta Sunset

Clean white interiors in combination with striking red lines and furnitures. So contrasting, as if they were enthusiastically inviting every passerby to come in and have a bite. I was a victim. Haha. I mean who could walk away from a drooling display of pancakes-mockup lined up beautifully on their wall. Its almost like I can hear them whispering "Eat me, I know you want this pile of chocolate ice cream on your mouth, don't you?" 

And long story short, I stopped from my afternoon walk, sat down and have a look at Flapjaks menu. While the waiter continuously promote their pancakes, I have a feel that they won't be that good, and so I fell for their Chocolate & Peanut Crepes. Beware, some mouth-watering pictures ahead!

And just when you think you can handle yourself from drooling. Here's another teaser. HAHAHA. I'm just that devilish today. If I'm going down with these fat, I'm taking everyone with me. =p

Alright, enough sillyness. I have got to say this is one of my favorite dessert while staying for five days in Bali. You can simply tell how good it is by the generous amount of toppings. Not to mention hidden layer of sweetness. Yes! If you uncover this particular meal, you'll have at least five layer of goodness.

First, the toothsome chocolate ice cream. Second, spongy cream mousse. Third, crunchy ground nuts. Fourth,  chocolate sauce and small chocolate bites. Fifth, savory sugary pancakes. And Sixth, the extra chunky peanut butter. Tell me you don't like this one, then I got to tell you, you just don't know how to have fun. =p

Scrumptious, especially for the sweet-toothed. However, this could be too sweet for some. In other words, proceed with care.

When I finished with this, it was almost six pm. I've got to go and catch the sunset, but I was just too curious with this one drink named Bok Choy. Weird name, but it turned out to be one refreshing drink with a unique twist of flavor. With a good mix of a host of veggies and fruits, it was healthy as well. Anw, that's not the real reason I ordered this, I have to say I have a weakness for anything green. Yes, now you know. =p And as you can predict, here's the green drink. 

As many has come and enjoyed Flapjaks, I, too would like to recommend this place for those who are in their vacations. Good foods on a holiday would make a perfect mix. I can't wait until the day I travel again. Here's a quick snapshot of the sunset in Kuta that day, right after I finished with Flapjaks. I hope you like it.

See you when I see you,
