Indulging in the breathtaking view of Mount Batur while relishing the delicious Nasi Goreng at the newly opened Oculus Cafe in Kintamani. The moment you step inside the cafe, you'll be transported to a world of aesthetics - from the warm lighting to the tasteful decor, every detail has been carefully thought out to create an inviting atmosphere. But the real star of the show is undoubtedly the view of Mount Batur, which can be enjoyed from every corner of the cafe. And let's not forget about the food - the menu at Oculus Cafe is a delightful fusion of Indonesian and Western cuisine, with something for everyone. I ordered the Nasi Goreng, a classic Indonesian dish that was bursting with flavor. If you're a coffee lover or a foodie, or simply looking for a place to unwind and soak in the beauty of nature, Oculus Cafe is a must-visit. #travel #awesomepic #mytripvlog #tripblazers #cafe #foodie #bali #kintamani
