Starting out as bassist for the 80’s music band Housemartins long before he assumed the Fatboy Slim persona, Cook then began his career as a studio engineer. Continuing to seek fame, he went on to form an electronic music group called Beats International creating the hit single ‘Dub Be Good To Me’ in ’89. Several years later, he formed another group, this time with vocalist Ashley Slater to Form Freak Power, known for their catchy tune ‘Turn On, Tune In, Cop Out’. Finally finding it in himself to make a solo album (albeit under the alias Pizzaman), Norman released the highly popular ‘Pizzamania’ album before taking on the Fatboy moniker. In his career as a DJ as well as a studio engineer, Norman has been lucky enough to work with big name artists such as U2, Madonna, Beastie Boys plus many others. Under the Fatboy Slim guise, Norman has seen his biggest hit with ‘The Rockafeller Skank’, topping charts and even becoming the theme song for the FIFA 99 video game.

Beberapa tahun setelah itu dia kembali membentuk grup lain yang bernama Freak Power bersama dengan vokalis Ashley Slater yang melejitkan hits ‘Turn On, Tune In, Cop Out’.

Jakarta Insomnia
interesting fact: Did you know that 10 to 15 percent of adults experience severe or chronic insomnia? Insomnia is one of the problems that plagues people living in a big city. Jakarta’s inhabitants are often seen past midnight roaming the city, or at home with the lights on, exhausted but wide-awake. Here’s what you should know if you’re getting tired of tossing and turning on the bed at 3 in the morning: What are the symptoms? If you’re experiencing difficulty falling asleep, or constantly awakening during the night and having trouble getting back to sleep, you could be suffering from insomnia. People with insomnia also suffer fatigue, irritability, anxiety, and even depression. What causes insomnia? There are a whole host of problems that cause insomnia. Insomnia occurs due to job related stress, competition to get ahead in business, or financial insecurities and the constant craving to earn more than the next person. The cause of insomnia also includes prescription medications such as antidepressants, heart and blood pressure meds, and allergy meds. Also, the logical perception that too many sleeps or naps cause insomnia is true. Other than that, a person that is addicted to watching late night TV shows with emotive contents and crime shows also exhibits marked symptoms of sleep deprivation. Natural remedies to beat insomnia: Set a sleep schedule and stick to it. Use your bed for sleeping only - no TV. Keep your bedroom cool, quiet, and dark to create a restful sleeping environment. Avoid excessive late night parties. (I think a few nights out could be OK. Ed) Avoid late night TV watching. Unplug! Get TVs, computers, cell phones and other electronic equipment out of the bedroom! Practice relaxation exercises like yoga for a few minutes everyday. Don’t nap. Avoid large meals before bedtime. Avoid caffeine and alcohol. Avoid drinking too much liquid before bedtime. Seek help if your bed partner is noisy (snoring). Count sheep (it really does help). Listen to calming music. Try not to worry in bed.
If these tips don’t help, maybe it’s time to contact your local physician. But, there’s no hurt in trying, right? Good luck! And sleep well. (Dini Siregar)

Rise and Shine and Start Again
Feature
Feature sempat merilis album perdana yang diproduseri oleh Glenn Fredly. Namun rupanya niat bebas merdeka lebih membuncah di dirinya sehingga pada 2008 ia resmi pergi dari Pasto. Dengan didukung oleh sebarisan sejawat, di antaranya arranger tenar David "Tities" Salanggamo, Bayu berhasil melahirkan single solo pertama yang ditulisnya sendiri bertajuk "Inner Beauty" pada 2009. Bayu bilang bahwa memang sengaja memilih menerbitkan single dulu ketimbang album sebab yang penting baginya bukan tentang seberapa melimpah lagu yang ditulis kemudian dirilis tapi sekental apa hati dan perasaan yang dilibatkan di lagu tersebut. Oh, bukan. Bayu Risa bukan anak kemarin sore di urusan berkesenian. Pria bernama lengkap Bayu Purwadi Risakotta ini bahkan telah aktif menyanyi sejak ia kanak-kanak. Di usia 10 tahun pemuda kelahiran Depok, 6 Oktober 1983, ini sudah melanglangbuana ke barisan negeri jiran di Asia Tenggara sampai jauh ke Amerika Serikat bersama kelompok vokal tempat dia bergabung. Berangkat remaja, sepak terjangnya di urusan bersenandung makin menjadi dengan tampil rutin di beberapa kafe serta banyak acara sekolah. Pasca lulus sekolah ia pernah berkiprah di band bernama Ever Nine. Sampai akhirnya akibat jatuh sakit pada tahun 2005 Bayu harus berpisah sementara dari blantika musik. Dan begitu pulih, segera saja ia diminta bergabung dengan Pasto yang sontak melambungkan namanya menjadi artis yang cukup diperhitungkan. Bersama Pasto pada 2007 Bayu Bayu Risa has made impressive moves since he was a kid. At the age of 10 he traveled around many Southeast Asian countries and even to the USA to sing with his vocal group. During his high school era, this Jakarta-based singer was actively performing in cafes and school shows around town. He went to Bandung after he graduated and got busy with a band called Ever Nine. After quite a long break due to illness, he was asked to join Pasto, which helped develop his reputation on the Indonesian music scene significantly. While he was still in Pasto they released an album produced by Glenn Fredly in 2007. Despite Pasto’s ever growing fame, Bayu Risa decided to quit to pursue a solo career.
Baru kemudian di tahun 2010 saat Bayu berjumpa dengan Joseph 'Iyub' Saryuf, ketika kontak sosial berujung pada kerjasama musikal, akhirnya berwujud pada kemunculan album debut Bayu Risa, Rise and Start Again. Sepucuk album nan eklektik di bawah label Sinjitos Records yang berkelana di jazirah pop, funk, R&B sampai space disco dimana Iyub menjabat menjadi produser. Sekeping album bertaburkan 10 lagu yang merefleksikan apresiasi tinggi Bayu dan Iyub pada musik apik serta perspektif giving back to the people. Lagu andalannya, "Percaya", juga melejit merajai banyak klasemen tembang di media-media musik wahid. Single itu pula yang mengantarkannya menjadi penampil utama di dua festival prestisius, Playground dan Soulnation. Paling mutakhir, bulan ini kabarnya salah satu lagu dari Rise and Start Again segera bakal menjadi theme song dari salah satu operator telekomunikasi seluler nasional. things really started moving when he met Joseph Saryuf in 2010. Joseph then became his producer, and helped him to release his first full-length solo album under Sinjitos Records called ‘Rise and Start Again’. The ten compositions on the album are an eclectic mix of musical genres, from beautiful pop melodies to funk beats, from sexy R&B grooves to spaced out disco. The single ‘Percaya’ performed well in many prestigious music charts in across Indonesia. The single also helped Bayu to secure a position at the two major national music festivals, 'Playground' and 'Soulnation'. Recently, one of the songs from ‘Rise and Start Again’, was used in an ad campaign by a national mobile phone network operator.
In 2009 he released his first single, ‘Inner Beauty’, which attracted a good amount of success. However,

80’s Shuffle Dance Making a Comeback Recently sighted in Melbourne (and subsequently dubbed ‘the Melbourne shuffle’), shuffle dance is making a comeback. In origin, shuffle dance is a rave and club dance from way back in the late 80’s, usually performed in the underground rave music scene of Melbourne, Australia. Shuffle dancers are usually referred to as rockers, because they tend to shuffle to rock music of the early 90’s. Now, not only clubbers are performing this dance, but nonclubbers also are enjoying the street dance. The style used now is what some people call ‘oldschool’, and consists of variations of T-Step and Running Man routines. Both are popular 80’s dance moves - indeed some of you may recognise the ‘running man’ from the videos and concerts of a certain MC Hammer and Vanilla Ice. It consists of hopping or sliding in a way that mimics somebody, er, running. There’s a clue in the name. Youtube is the perfect goldmine for this kind of stuff, so

pon first listen, I couldn’t stop myself thinking how close Fleet Foxes is to the mood and feel of Placebo. However, these Portland folk heads have richer instrument resonances, a more Baroque touch, and a much deeper graceful gloomy soul. ‘Sim Sala Bim’ is a folk travel ballad from medium to slow, a quiet acoustic riot. ‘The Shrine / An Argument’ is an 8 minute experimental instrument showcase, saving the album from becoming presumtuous. It’s a sweet album for the broken hearted, with a few suicidal notes for cheery souls. DK

From Sumatra island and the Batak singers to the Moluccan islands with Ambonese origin singers, so many areas of this country are known for their great singers. Some of these choirs even made it internationally by winning some prestigious awards on world choir competitions. If America has the glee club, then Indonesia has choirs that exist in Christian schools and churches amongst others. This month we are fortunate to experience two highly reputable choirs in action.
Padjajaran University Choir is the first to show their talents to the Jakarta audience with their concert called ‘East European Musical Delight’ that is planned to be performed on June 1st at Erasmus Huis auditorium. Conducted by noted conductor Arvin Zeinullah, this choir will present you with beautiful choral works composed by some of Eastern Europe’s most famous composers such as Antonin Dvorak, Gyorgy Ligeti and Zoltan Kodaly. It will surely be an interesting concert to see how this choir have mastered not only the melody and singing techniques, but also language barrier. Young and talented pianist Anselmus Angga has also been invited to participate in this upcoming concert. Those of you who are not up to speed on Padjajaran University Choir might be interested to know that this is one of the longest running choirs in Indonesia. Part of Padjajaran University student activities unit, this choir has been running for over 31 years and has received acknowledgement
both on national and international levels. ‘East European Musical Delight’ is part of their yearly annual concerts. The competiton for the event above is Catholic Atmajaya University Choir - better known as Gita Swara Jaya Choir (GSJC). GSJC is also considered as one of the most senior choirs in Indonesia that has been running since 1979. During their career, they have continuously receiving numerous awards from many celebrated choir festivals in Indonesia including winning three gold medals at the 10th annual Indonesia Choirs Party (Pesparawi). Under the direction of Lucia Kusumawardhani Tirta Pratiwi, GSJC is planned to showcase their incredible talent and voices in an upcoming concert called ‘Pastorale’ that will also take place at Erasmus Huis auditorium on June 4th. This concert that is organized together with the Rotary Club Jakarta Gambir who choose ‘Pastorale’ as their title and theme, referring to something of a rustic nature in music. For that, the choir has chosen some exciting and famous pastorale works from composers such as Saint-Saens, Britten, Finzi and Massenet. It is without doubt a battle that is not to be missed. Just three days apart, these choirs will show you why they have such a great reputation. It is a battle between voices, styles and singing techniques from choirs that are equally good.

This cozy coffee shop could just be your bolt hole from the chaos of the city.
It
was one of those rare slow days at work. So slow, that my friends and I decided to find a place to have a light lunch not too far from the office. We had heard about this coffee place on Jalan Wijaya from friends of ours.
The Coffee & Co really is a place for coffee lovers (well, duh…) with plenty of variations on offer. Priced between 15k-27k, you can enjoy an espresso, cappuccino, Americano, and latte, as well as a café mocha or peppermint.
From the outside, The Coffee & Co looks deceptively small. The bright blue façade seemed like a welcome respite from Jakarta’s heat. Inside, this place is actually quite roomy.There are several areas that have their own unique styles. There’s even a spacious room upstairs should you prefer to have a more private get-together. There is even a Vespa motorcycle inside the café as a part of the decoration adding to the funky informal vibe.
The frappes are quite the crowd pleasers with three kinds of frappe to choose from. The coffee based (choose from Java mocha, coffee toffee, or oreo delight), cream based (nutty buttercup, chocolate chip, green tea, or lychee vanilla), and low-fat fruit fusion (strawberry kiwi, mango berry, peach berry, or kiwi lychee). These frappes are priced at 27k.

Tea lovers will not feel left out, though. The Coffee & Co serves premium tea in a pot, with free refills for only 25k/pot! Have your pick of tea from alexandria, emperor sencha, jasmine queen, crème caramel, chamomile, French earl grey, grand wedding, or black tea. Quite an extensive selection.
end it all, the grilled banana with vanilla ice cream (18k) really hits the right spot.
We saw on one of the blackboards that The Coffee & Co also has a special ‘weekday bottomless cups’ promotion. From Monday to Thursday, for 50k you can enjoy non-stop refills for your choice of espresso, latte, americano, cappuccino, or café mocha. Not too bad at all…
The Coffee & Co is a lovely and cozy coffee shop with an equally lovely interior. With affordable food and beverages, this is sure to be a new favourite hang out in the south of Jakarta.
As for that light lunch, we decided on the crispy chicken wings (20k), cooked until a perfect golden brown. We also ordered the spaghetti bolognese (30k), and bockwurst sausage with French fries (30k). Should you prefer a more hearty meal, go for their bockwurst hot dog with bolognese sauce and fries (30), or the oxtail soup and rice (37k). To
There are also live music performances on Friday and Saturday evenings.This could be a good choice for a relaxing night out with you friends or loved one.

Is it possible to have a little piece of Paris in Jakarta? Mais oui! Bienvenue sur le Bistro Boulevard!
‘Bistro’
comes from the French word ‘bistrot’, and was originally a type of small Parisian restaurant serving hearty and homey meals. Bistro Boulevard is an incarnation of the French Bistro concept in Jakarta. It is a restaurant and lounge combining Parisian urban chic with the groovy, stylish decor of the old and exotic Batavia. Some of you may not be familiar with Bistro Boulevard, but if you mention its former name, then many will recognize it instantly. Yes, it is located where Buddha Bar used to be, but the interior décor has drastically altered from what it was back then. The DJ booth which used to be in the center of the room has now been moved outdoors to the garden area. Also, the front area which functions as a gallery has been expanded to accommodate exhibitions and other events. beatmag.com 056

Limitless Mystery, Sci-Fi. Director: Neil Burger. Writers: Leslie Dixon. Cast: Bradley Cooper, Robert De Niro, Anna Friel, Abbie Cornish, Andrew Howard.
Eddie Morra (Bradley Cooper, The Hangover) adalah seorang penulis yang sedang mengalami kriris dalam hidup, dan buku yang sedang ditulisnya tidak kunjung selesai. Namun ketika seorang teman lama memperkenalkan dirinya dengan obat revolusioner baru NZT yang masih merupakan rahasia, hidup Eddie berubah secara instan. Dia menjadi sangat pintar, bisa mengingat apapun yang dia lihat dan dengar, dan mengerti segala hitungan angka yang rumit hingga dia menjadi orang yang terkenal di dunia financial Wall Street. Kesuksesan Eddie menangkap perhatian konglomerat terkenal Carl Van Loon (Robert De Niro, Stardust) yang ingin memanfaatkan Eddie untuk meraup kekayaan lebih. Hal ini juga membuat Eddie diburu oleh sekelompok orang jahat yang ingin mendapatkan obat NZT dan menghadapi investigasi polisi. Film Limitless ini mungkin terkesan dangkal pada saat kamu membaca sinopsisnya yang sangat fiksi fantasi. Walaupun begitu, film ini ternyata malah menuai banyak pujian para kritikus karena penulisan skripnya yang bagus dan jalan cerita yang cepat dan membuat kita fokus sampai akhir film tanpa harus menguras otak untuk memecahkan teka-teki apapun. Kolaborasi sutradara Neil Burger (The Illusionist) dan penulis Leslie Dixon (Freaky Friday) ini ditambah dengan pemeran utama Bradley Cooper dan aktor senior De Niro akan sangat cukup untuk membuat kamu berfantasi untuk menjadi orang “tanpa batas�. Setelah nonton film ini, jangan berhalusinasi kalau tablet multivitamin kamu adalah obat NZT ya! An author, Eddie Morra (Bradley Cooper, The A Team) takes an experimental drug that allows him to use 100% of his brain. As he evolves into the perfect version of himself, he inadvertedly creates more trouble than he can imagine, making him the target for manipulative billionaire, vicious gangster as well as the police. This film is packed with action that engages audiences until the end credit titles roll up on the screen.

Seorang pembunuh bayaran, Curtie Church (Djimon Hounsou, Blood Diamond) disewa oleh seorang konglomerat untuk balas dendam ke sebuah kelompok mafia perdagangan seks di Thailand yang telah menculik dan membunuh putrinya. Dengan bantuan seorang pengedar senjata eksentrik, Jimmy The Brit (Kevin Bacon,

Mystic River), Curtie pun menemukan target pekerjaannya. Namun ternyata pekerjaan ini tidak semudah bayangan mereka ketika mereka menyadari kalau mereka terjerumus ke dalam peperangan antara dua kelompok mafia Thailand yang sadis. Selain itu, Curtie pun menemukan kebenaran yang kotor tentang konglomerat yang menyewa dirinya untuk pekerjaan berbahaya ini. Penasaran bagaimana jadinya ketika sutradara Thailand Prachya Pinkaew (Ong-bak) yang terkenal dengan gaya film aksi dipadukan dengan Kevin Bacon dan Djimon Hounsou dalam film penuh tembakan senjata berlokasi di Bangkok? Tanpa perlu banyak berpikir, film ini adalah hiburan yang ganas dan keren bagi kamu para penggemar film aksi laga yang senang menonton film beralur cepat dan tetap punya karakteristik. Duet aktor Bacon dan Hounsou pun keren dalam film ini di setiap adegannya. Bagi para cowok berdandanlah agak gahar dan ajak pacar buat nonton Elephant White biar kelihatan lebih macho! An assassin, Curtie Church (Djimon Hounsou, Blood Diamond) is hired by a businessman to avenge the murder of his daughter by white sex slave traders in Thailand. With the help of a ruthless weapons dealer, Jimmy (Kevin Bacon, Death Sentence), they find themselves caught in the outright war between two rival gangs in Bangkok and corrupt regime. From the director of epic Thai action film Ong-bak, this film is a wickedly entertaining action flick that has pace, action, style, and hardcore weapons… so tough yourself up with some bullets and blood, gentlemen!
The Big Bang
Mystery, Thriller. Director: Tony Krantz. Writer: Erik Jendresen. Cast: Antonio Banderas, Thomas Kretschmann, William Fichtner, Sienna Guillory, James Van Der Beek, Snoop Dogg.
Ned Cruz (Antonio Banderas, The Legend of Zorro) adalah seorang detektis swasta di Los Angeles mendapat pekerjaan dari seorang petinju Rusia untuk menemukan pacarnya yang menghilang beserta setumpuk berlian bernilai 30 juta dolar yang disembunyikannya. Jejak pekerjaan ini pun membawa Ned bertemu orang-orang dari aktor Hollywood dengan rahasia kotor, produser film porno, pelayan bar yang aneh, dan berakhir di konglomerat tersembunyi dan ilmuwannya yang ingin menciptakan efek Big Bang di gurun pasir New Mexico. Dibuntuti juga oleh tiga polisi picik yang mencari berlian curian itu dan makin banyaknya nyawa yang melayang, kasus orang hilang ini berujung pada dampak penghancuran dunia. Dengan genre asli neo-noir yang tidak perlu kamu cari tahu apa artinya juga, The Big Bang sebenarnya adalah adaptasi balik dari karya novel misteri “Farewell, My Lovely” Raymond Chandler yang terkenal dari tahun 1930an dan sudah pernah ada versi film sebelumnya yaitu “Murder, My Sweet” (1944). Film ini akan terkesan sedikit (notabene) aneh bagi yang tidak familiar dengan genre noir / misteri, tapi dengan adanya Antonio Banderas sebagai pemeran utama dan tipe gambar film yang dibuat vintage, film ini ada ketertarikannya tersendiri untuk membuat kamu tetap menonton hingga akhir hanya untuk tahu “apa sih?”. A private detective, Ned Cruz (Antonio Banderas, Bordertown) is hired to find a missing stripper but the job turns complicated and mysterious when everyone he questions ends up dead somehow. From the same director and writer of horror ‘Sublime’ (2007), The Big Bang is a remake of Raymond Chandler’s famous 1930s mystery novel ‘Farewell, My Lovely’. With its revamped neo-noir genre and vintage cinematography it might not be to everyone’s taste, but hard boiled crime fans will lap this up.

Five Things to Pack For Your Business Trip
Going on a business trip any time soon? We have put together a list of items that we think are absolutely essential for today’s business traveller. Most of the time business trip schedules are known way in advance, but most likely when the day of the trip comes, things are bound to get hectic and there’s nothing worse than leaving all those essential things behind...
Five things that are on our list to prepare for a business trip are: A black dress for all occasions from Satcas One thing that you need to always have in your luggage is the ubiquitous black dress, mainly because you can use it for all occasions; meeting with clients, working lunches or even a cocktail party with your colleagues. Don’t travel without it because it’s really going to be a your saviour. All you need to do to make it work for each different occasion is play around with the accessories. For a more professional looking result, add a pearl necklace and a pair of pearl stud earrings. For a more informal look you can try heavier accessories such as layering a few chain necklaces and bracelets.
Samsonite Cosmolite luggage, available in three different sizes. Where else would you pack your stuff other than this chic-looking and very lightweight wheely case from Samsonite? One of the newest luggage collections from Samsonite that won the ‘Best of the Best 2010’ award at the prestigious Red Dot Design 2010 event, the case is incredibly sturdy with anti-scratch surface and roomy inside compartments to easily swallow everything you need.
beatmag.com 060
Lancome UV Expert GN-Shield BB Cream SPF This BB Cream from Lancome feels very lightweight and it instantly brightens up your face. Perfect for livening up tired faces during a business trip. What we love the most about this BB Base is that not only does it come with broad spectrum coverage against UVA and UVB, but it can also be used as a makeup base because it feels so matte. If you simply don’t have the time to apply your foundation in the morning, you can use this on its own and set it off with your regular powder.
Hellolulu Shoe Case Even during a business trip we can’t live with only one pair of shoes. Instead of carelessly tucking spare shoes inside your luggage, just use this shoe case from Hellolulu. It keeps your shoes separate so the heels won’t get stuck against each other, and even has a spare compartment for your flip flops!
RoC Multi Correxion Makeup Remover One of the things that I despise about business trips is the grueling agendas that more often than not drag on until late. This can make it very easy to let your skincare regime slip, but thanks to the RoC Multi Correxion Makeup Remover it’s quick and effortless to remove makeup and cleanse your face at the same time. A perfectly convenient solution that really helps to keep your skin happy while working on a busy schedule.

In Searchof the Young Bloods As an educational subject, visual and communicative design is currently enjoying huge growth. Over 70 institutions in Indonesia now offer courses in visual communication design or graphic design study. However, the amount of design students remains relatively small when compared to the hundreds of thousands of graduates from other majors. For that reason, as part of Indonesian Graphic Design Award, TUAI were exhibiting final projects of students from around the country at FX Lifestyle, Jl. Jenderal Sudirman, PintuSatu, Senayan, from May 7 to 29. These artworks were classified into four categories; print, commercial, corporate and multi-media. This exhibition presents their artworks to the public to ‘test the water’ regarding the students communication skills. Communicating visually is not easy, and not everyone is blessed with the talent and sensitivity to process verbal messages using visual symbols.
The ability to balance reason and emotion sufficiently is needed to analyze various possibilities. Verbal messages are considered easy to communicate, but the ability to realise those messages visually is something altogether more challenging. The specialty of this subject has resulted in a significant trend in young people who are increasingly choosing to take part in relevant industries such as graphic agencies, advertising agencies, broadcasting, publishing, and others.

the Rockabilly representation of Bali, a loyal lifeguard and commercial star the man talked to the beat after his rock n roll routine. beatmag.com 082
Feature
To the locals, you are known as a lifeguard. When did you start and are you still doing it?
I hear you share wisdom on stage and on the daily. Are you a believer?
I’ve been a lifeguard since I was 17 – first as a volunteer and now a captain. It might sound like a hell of a long time but I never really get bored of it.
Yeah, I am. And I’m on a mission to spread the love!
Ever experienced a critical condition like saving life on the shore? I’ve had many such situations; the last one took place in 2009. I was trying to rescue a man by myself. I did CPR while still in the water and managed to get him to the shore, but sadly, he didn’t make it. Most of the time people overestimate their skills in the water and completely ignore the no swimming signs and our warnings. Other times our equipment fails so we can’t always rely on the machines. Just respect the ocean, man. Tell us something new about The Hydrant Our new album ‘Dirty Thirty’ will launch soon and we’ve been playing a lot in Bali recently promoting the new songs. This album totally represents the Bali youth energy! We also set up The Hydrant’s website so check it out at www.thehydrant.asia to get the news and updates on upcoming rockabilly events! If Elvis Presley was god, how would you worship him? Keep the spirit rockin’!
In terms of Rockabilly, are there any artists other than Elvis and Brian Setzer that the world should listen to? There’s so many great artists from old record labels - black & white, male or female. To name just a few: Gene Vincent, Johnny Cash, Eddie Cochran, Little Richard, Buddy Holly, Wanda Jackson.. Nowadays you’re seen in big TV tobacco commercials with an ‘adventure Indonesia’ theme. How good is Indonesia to you? Through this shooting I had the chance to go to so many amazing places I never knew existed in my own country. And that’s what I love about Indonesia – diversity, beauty and lots of hidden gems. How about Bali. How precious is it? Any errors you think we can make right together here? Bali is my home, I’ve lived here all my life and also seen it from outside. I love everything about it and if somebody doesn’t like it then GTFO! Shout Out to Beatmag

into the horizon. Chef Rio greets us amicably and wastes no time in sending out some of his personal picks to kick things off. To start we tuck into the prawn cocktail with avocado and Marie Rose sauce (65k++), the mixed seafood salad with Thai dressing, tiger prawns, squid and mahi-mahi (65k++) and the tuna salad with soba noodles, sesame seeds, cucumber and wasabi (65k++). It’s a tough call but I find myself favouring the tuna, Arriving from the mall side, you walk right which is seared around the edges and literally has through the large O of the Oceans 27 sign (which the consistency of soft butter. obviously doubles as an entrance) and onto a breezy terrace of wooden decking, tasteful white On to the mains, and two of the party opt to rattan furniture and comfy sofas strewn about the share out an Oceans 27 pizza (85k++), topped place. A shallow central pool houses yet more with chicken, mozzarella, and - to give it a slight tables and chairs where diners can relax, minus Balinese touch – sambal matah.
