Me & Kay had a chance to dine at the so-called Bora Asmara (what a romantic name, huh), a charming Balinese-themed restaurant, nestled at the sleepy Sg. Penchala. Kay get to know about this restaurant after he found an article in The Star few months ago.
First impression? I love the way this place is called.
As we stepped through the wooden doors,.we were impressed with the beautiful decors. The setting is just lovely with beautiful water features, rustic wooden tables and chairs, lit stone lamps, and Balinese decor tastefully placed around the outlet.. A waiter came an offer us a seat. I actually have a plan in mind to seat in one of their private hut called ‘Bisek-bisek’. But we had been given just a small table (reason being that’s the only table left, as other empty tables are reserved/booked).

We ordered pecel lele, bali dancing fish, tomyam…mmg sedap!! Sambil makan ada bandboys yg datang nyanyi dari table ke table ala2 batak band la…
Collection of food not too bad with reasonable price. Both local and western. Concept? Full 100 % Bali
Ambience memang cantik…makanan pun sedap..actually tempat ni untuk orang yang suka makan sambil bersantai-santai..lepak-lepak dengar muzik…mmg bestla.
The Star's reporter make her comments about Bora Asmara :
As you step through the wooden doors of Bora Asmara, you will be greeted by the sound of the gong, the Balinese way of saying welcome. Your ears will be treated to soothing sounds of the traditional Sundanese Gamelan sounds that can be heard in the background. The setting is just lovely with beautiful water features, rustic wooden tables and chairs, lit stone lamps, and Balinese decor tastefully placed around the outlet. Customers may choose to dine by the ponds at the elevated main lobby, al fresco on the open terrace, inside the formal air-conditioned Bale Gede dining room, coffee lounge, or in one of their many bisek-biseks, private huts with Balinese-thatched roofing that fits six to eight people. You’ll have to make a reservation as these bisek-biseks are very popular with the customers.
