This place looked so quirky and we'd walked past it a few times so decided we were going to pop in for lunch before leaving to go back to Kuta. The space was small and a little cramped but it was so worth squeezing ourselves in for. We both ordered the frozen, blended lattes to drink as we were heading back after and needed to be caffeinated. Jed went for the banana one and I picked the chocolate raspberry one. Mine was just okay. You could definitely taste the raspberry in it but I think mixed with the coffee it just created a bitter flavour. Jed's on the other hand was delicious. You couldn't really taste the coffee at all, it was almost like a Banana milkshake so we both highly recommend the banana one!
Initially, Jed was going to order the Bahn Mi (if I remember rightly, I could've made that up) but it was out of stock so went for the quarter pounder burger and it was gooood. The meat was delicious and well cooked so it was still juicy. The cheese and bacon mixed with the sweetness from the bread just made the entire thing perfect. The chips were simple but solid.
I went for the rica-rica. I'm really struggling to find the menu online and I didn't take a photo so don't quote me on this but I believe it is a traditional Bali curry. Not too spicy but full of flavour and veggies, it was a good order. It was nice but I had much nicer curries whilst in Bali which is why I'm not super excited by it but by no means does it diminish the fact that its a solid curry.
If I were to eat here again, I would probably go for a burger instead but if you're ever on Monkey Forest Road, it's worth jumping in here!

We Quit

-
Well, long time, no see! You read it - we quit. After months and months of deliberation, we finally did it. We’re spending the next 7 months travelling round Asia and then we’re moving to CANADA! At this moment in time we’re gearing up for the adventure of a lifetime and we’re excited to take you with us! We’ve created an entire Instagram that is going to be dedicated to our travels and you can follow it on @otterstravels. We’ve been thinking long and hard about what we want our travel vlogs and IG to consist of and we think it’s worth getting excited about! We would love to hear from you guys about what you would be interested to see while we’re out and about too. Otters Kitchen will remain fully in tact and we will be incorporating that into our videos along side our everyday adventures. Edinburgh is going to be our first stop. We have a whole 6 days to make the most out of Fringe 2019 and this is where our vlog adventure will begin (if we remember and get use to picking a camer...

Our Order River Phoenix £9.50 (Double cheeseburger, bacon, shoestrings onions, Frazzles, red chilies, Redneck BBQ, Bacon Bacon mayo, Smoky Bacon Ketchup) DTF £10 (Extra thick juicy patty, double American cheese, bacon, wonder onions, smoky bacon ketchup, dijon mustard, peppered mayo, pickles) Chilli Cheese Tots £5.50 (Tots, cheese, beef chilli, hot sauce, sour cream, jalapeno, onion) £25 8/10 After struggling to find Almost Famous on the Saturday, we were sure to find the place on Sunday. We had checked the menu on the Saturday and we were really excited to jump into it, especially after feeling the vibes as soon as we walked through the door. It wasn't too busy but you could feel the buzz. We struggled to settle on something for a while but my heart was telling me to go for the River Phoenix immediately purely for the Frazzles - I really wanted something different. The frazzles added a great texture to the burger, I just wanted more. It sounded like it was almost going to...

#40 Yard&Coop, Manchester

Our Order: Thighs, Blue Cheese Sauce, Salt & Pepper Chips £12.50 Double Mac £16 ( Two buttermilk chicken breasts, sandwiched with mac n cheese, crispy bacon, Dr Pepper BBQ and cheese sauces. Topped with two Dr Pepper BBQ wings.) Extra Buffalo Sauce £1 £29.50 9/10 After wandering round for about half an hour, looking for Almost Famous, we had no luck so we headed into Yard & Coop instead.  The place was filled to the brim and had a great atmosphere (and an ever better drinks menu). The variety of beers they offer is something and there was also a good few options for cocktails too. Both had nothing on the food menu though. Making a decision of something to eat was so hard as we both wanted everything on the menu, especially after seeing the food coming out of the kitchen. I was torn between trying the Dr Pepper sauce and the buffalo sauce so decided to go with the Double Mac with a side of buffalo because I'm greedy and refuse to regret not eating something. It was s...
