  • 2012 2nd trip…Bali…in Fish-bone Biz Class…and sneak view of CX Long Haul Premium Economy Clas

     My very first time  visit and a Solo trip to Bali, Indonesia on CX’s very own Fish-Bone Business Class..

    Signature welcome drink….Oriental Breeze

     After take off drinks and Lunch services..

     Main course stir-fried prawns in Sambal with plain steam rice accompanied with Okra in Coconut sauce, fresh cut fruit

     Too full for Cheese and crackers, so umped to coffee and dessert…

     Landing into Bali airport

     

     Staying at the Alam Ubud Villas I chose to stay far away from the more popular places like Kuta, sanur….just to avoid the crowds….Ubud is about 1 – 1 1/2 hrs from the airport…giving me a very quiet, relaxing reflection retreat!!

    Welcome by the villa’s staff with flowers, a flower foot soak, and a refreshing drink…lemon grass and ginger….

     

    Villas Kunti which I stayed…with a private pool

     

     

     Since I was travelling alone, I’m afraid I don’t have too many food pics cos I could only have soo much food on each meal…

    Satay Combo as my dinner…

     Good Morning forests….

     Breakfast

     a short walk near by the Villa,  wow this Salak fruit is sooo sweet and crunchy

     After an hour swim, I had a 2 hours massage at my own Villa

     Tea time at the lounging area, deep fried bananas

     

     Dinner,  Amuse Bouche egg rolls with rice, a warm Chix Caesar Salad

     the Villa version of the Bali style Crispy Duck

    after a good night rest, Breakfast time again…..

     

     

     Then a full day tour around inner Bali, Monkey Temple…..what the hack they kept on staring at me……

     everywhere around you can find those sculpture manufacturer 

     Elephant Cave

     

    another temple…….where people can rinse their body and mind with the holy water…

     Buffet lunch over looking the active Volcano Mount Batur

     

     The visiting the  Coffee plantation and finally saw this little creature who helps to create the expensive Luwak Coffee

     Coffee sampling………

     Rice field visit, I eventually had to walk and crawl to the opposite….to take picture..

     in the mid-way…having the  fresh coconut juice….?

     

     back to the Villa having a refreshment  a deep fried veggie spring roll

     Dinner Amuse Bouche  Salmon skewer and a chunky Tomatoe  soup

     Finally seeing the sea again on the way to the airport the Kuta beach well known for the surfers

     

     

     remembering the victims of the 2002 incident around the Kuta Beach area

     Heading back to Hong Kong, the common use lounge

     they loves singing………so much..

     meal on the returning flight

    nearly an exact meal the only different was the fish….and the heating skill of the crew has lots of room to improve….

    Premium Economy Class for long haul flight

    Own menu

     an after take off drinks a choice of Champagne or Juices, a noise cancelling Headphone same as Biz Class

    The first row is the best, more leg room and the seat with leg and foot rest…just like the  very old Biz Class seat just not as wide.

     

    First Meal….the entree is actually the Biz meal…..with 3 choices…

     over night kit…and I looked wired after a good 6 1/2 hours rest……
