EXPAT. ROASTERS SEMINYAK - BALI

Hello from Bali! Just this week alone I have been travelling to three different destinations but as usual, Bali will always be my resort to release all the stress and find inner peace while eating good food, sleeping around being lazy in my villa and occasional cafe hopping. I am currently typing this post in my gorgeous private villa at Four Seasons (not showing off well a bit :P). I have always been a huge-huge fan of Four Seasons properties and I am so excited to share my experience staying here for you guys so stay tuned!
So I got the info from a friend of mine who told me that there was a new coffee shop opening precisely beside my all time favorite Seminyak cafe: Sisterfields. It happens that one of the owners of this coffee shop is also Sisterfield's owner, but you can't exactly say that this coffee shop is by Sisterfields. Expat Roasters was not exactly spacious and more to the petite category, but I love how this coffee shop looks! There is still an ongoing construction mainly on the top part of the shop, but overall I like just how clean yet unfinished look with a touch of minimalist and industrial vibe to it, and as expected, ojnce you stepped inside, you'll be greeted first with the lingering smell of coffee. Beautiful.

Here they roast their own coffee beans, and according to the barista, their house blend is Sumatera Aceh Gayo so expect to find bodied and acidic coffee. Range of the coffee options were quite common like White, Black, V60 Filter, Cold Brew, they also have Teas, Chai, Matcha & Chocolate drink selections with average price of IDR 35k, along with small range of pastries. Anyway, their White drinks are available in regular and large size with IDR 10k price gap only, IDR 15k will be charged if you fancy changing the full cream milk to Bonsoy (yayness they have bonsoy here!)

Soycap - IDR 52k (Cappuccino with soymilk)
Incase you wonder why my coffee is a bit messy, well I took this picture at their outdoor area and just when I opened the door while still holding my backpack and my camera bag on the other hand, my hand fuckin slipped, but anyway I honestly like how the coffee turned out, the mess made the coffee even more appetizing to my eye and at least there's still a bit of latte art left. I had their soy cappuccino (regular size - IDR 55k) and it was pretty light & nice with clean finish and nice washed out acid body character, while I honestly like Revolver's soycap version better, this was nowhere near bad.
If you're planning to have breakfast/brunch/lunch at Sisterfields, you might consider having their coffee here then proceed to have the brunch. To be completely honest, I like their coffee, I love the friendly service, but I had this love-hate issue with the location, well I am totally glad that it's located just beside Sisterfields making the empire seemed bigger (not to mention Bo$$man), but their existence might be a tad overshadowed by the big player which Revolver is that's located around the area, and you can't deny that they're good and highly well known by almost anyone, but confidence is the key and I feel that in them (after all why should be intimidated?), best of luck and continue to keep up the good performance!

TITIK TEMU BALI

HELLO FROM BALI!!! Yay!!!!!
   
If you�re wondering the purpose of me going to Bali, well aside from having fun (of course), I am here to bring the lucky winner from the Instagram contest that was held by Rinku and me a couple of weeks ago. The contest theme was �F&B on table� and in two weeks, we gained around 600 submissions and Karlina is the lucky winner selected to embark on a 3D2N paid expenses trip to Bali, which as this post is written, am currently here, laying on my uber comfy bed in my gorgeous hotel room in Sofitel Nusa Dua Bali and writing this post.

So today we went to this newly opened coffee shop which I have always wanted to go since its opening precisely a month ago called TITIK TEMU (written �.TEMU�), it�s strategically located at the heart of Seminyak just next to Tokyo Skipjack, opposite Seminyak Village, and align with the well known eatery (and personal favorite of mine: Sisterfields). 
First of all, I love the design of the building, while it�s strategically located, the location might be isolated and rather mysterious, but as soon as you enter the alley and faced by this beautiful little complex before your eyes (with Titik Temu becoming the most sought after), you just got a good feeling about that one. 
The design was simple with minimalist value and just wicked, I love how they connect the second floor with this wood ladder where you can actually sit around too. Ok it�s actually hard for me to describe it with words so I will let the pictures do the talking. 
If you really look at it, the whole building wasn�t exactly big, but the way they arrange the seats and function the area somehow created that �spacious� feel to it, and I don�t know why, but I feel like getting this �village� vibe (in a really homey way) while sitting around here, as the surrounding was green (they have this mini square park), the sun was shining and the eatery next door had this strong ethnic design about it which made it look like a home, you might not get what I am saying right now, but you might when you�re actually here. 

It was a short visit since we were short on time, and we only had some coffee and their Titik Temu Burger to share. I had their iced cappuccino (IDR 40k) - which is available in both classic and ice cream additional � I asked for the iced cappuccino with ice cream topping with no sugar and found the sweetness lovely, only I expected it to be creamier. Their Titik Temu Burger (IDR 100k) consists of beef patty, double cheddar, greens, a bit of sauce dressing and saucy mushroom on the side. The patty was quite tender and seasoned nicely, I just thought they can do better with an actual melted cheddar cheese, the one that I had was still �too firm� in my opinion.    
I just knew that their special is �MAGIC� but too late to know about that after posting the pic on my Instagram.    
Service was friendly and warm, I was honestly already sold by the architectural beauty on top of everything else. I am definitely coming back to experience what they have more in store. I heard they make good local dishes, but didn�t try that on this visit. Until next time Titik Temu!
