The average Indonesian has rice for breakfast but for us island visitors, don’t we love our bread in the morning? Bread, coffee, juice and we are all set for another day in paradise. Now, during your Bali stay, you should also definitely go indo-style on some days and have a bowl of ‘bubur ayam’ (rice porridge with chicken) or a plate of ‘lontong sayur’ (rice cake with vegetables in a spicy coconut curry) for breakfast, but on those days that you are longing for a taste from home. Here is an overview of Seminyak bakeries. There are quite a few excellent bakeries found in and around Seminyak, so you won’t have to travel far from your private villa to get your hands on your favourite bread, cakes, and pastries.
1. Croissants made in heaven and more @ Monsieur Spoon
