I haven’t talked much about the fantastic resort in Bali to which we recently went. It is classed as 5-stars, but over the years I have been in many 5-star hotels and resorts and I have never seen anything come close to this one. But more of that later.
Today I want to tell you about one of the restaurants in the resort. It is called Koral and it is a joy to behold. The food is amazing, the presentation is in a class of its own but the piece de résistance is the fish swimming around and coming up to the glass, so close almost on your plates and eating with you.
This was a constant show and at one stage a diver went down into the water among the fish. They detected no threat and so ignored him. He came over and tapped on the window beside us. Unfortunately, that was in a video and I can’t upload videos here.
There was a short arch through which we walked to get to our table. Here there are six tables and the fish swim around and over the heads of the diners. Unfortunately, we were told those tables are booked at least four months in advance.
JB standing in amazement watching the fish doing their thing and ignoring us. For once I was speechless.
So a wonderful meal that came in a close second to the fish entertainment.
I couldn’t resist buying a book that describes the fish swimming around us. I know that my No3 grandson will love it.
And now JB is back in Wellington
