The Paon Restaurant, Bali Collection, Nusa Dua Bali, Indonesia

On our first night in Bali, we explored the immediate area surrounding our hotel in Nusa Dua. We found this restaurant (after choosing from a dozen other restaurants) in Bali Collection, an open-area concept mall.

It was amusing how some small girls dressed in traditional balinese outfits put flowers in the ears of all the dining customers.

We were attracted to this restaurant because there were a lot of people eating there plus their ambience was very inviting. We availed of their set dinner for two. I forgot what it was called but its comprised of indonesian favorites.

Clear Chicken Soup with noodles for starters. Very light and refreshing. There was so much chicken meat it can actually be considered a meal for those light eaters (but not for me haha).

An assortment of seafood, grilled meat, chicken beef and vegetables. What a feast!! I loved every bite of it :P

Finally, we had ice cream with banana fritters for dessert. All in all, including taxes, the set meal was around IDR 250,000. Thats around SGD 30+. Not bad for a 3-course meal including cocktails.

Photo op with the little girls hehe. They were also dancing the "Barong Dance" to the delight of the diners.

Bali Collection was quite nice. It was surprising that high-end shops like D&G, Paul Smith, et al, can be found in the mall. There was also a grocery where we bought food for breakfast since the buffet breakfast at the hotel was ridiculously expensive and not worth it.
