Manggis in Canggu

🎶 Yesterday, I indulged in deep-fried delights until my stomach protested. It’s like my insides formed a picket line: “Enough of these Crispy Tofu” But then, my dear friend swooped in with a magical dinner, healing me instantly. So tonight, I’ll waltz back to the fryer with our zesty Wasabi Croquettes.– because life’s too short to deny your taste buds a wild tango! 😄🌱

Doing Our Thing, Sippin' Our Way 🥤🌱Unapologetically us. – take it or leave it.

Caramel Biscuit Frappuccino
Coffee blended with oat milk, Biscoff spread, Oreos and vegan cream, topped with pretzels, biscuits and vegan whipped cream.

Banana Chocolate Biscoff
Milkshake Banana, biscoff biscuits and spread, coconut ice cream and Manggis milk topped with vegan whipped cream.

Godless Choco Brownie Shake
Coconut & chocolate ice cream, homemade almond peanut butter, chocolate brownie cake and Manggis milk topped with vegan whipped cream

Here's a close-up of our Indonesian ice cream, or as we call it, es puter. Yes!! Of course, it's coconutty, because it is made from coconut! Just imagine a scoop of coconut balls, topped with homemade caramel sauce because why not?

Two gals, two laughs, and two sandwiches that are more ‘special’ than my last Bumble date night. Because, trust me on this, Netflix and our Sandwiches are not a good idea. 🥪😂

And for the beverage? Our Tamarind Squash. A homemade concoction of tamarind paste and soda water that’s stirred to perfection. It’s like cola, but with a zesty twist that’s all our own! Give it a whirl and savor the flavor!

Yooo! How was your weekend?
Ours was a combination of productive and lazy! So it's perfect! I know this caption has nothing to do with the picture.. again. Because who reads captions nowadays, when there’s an endless stream of pics and vids on your feed, right? So here’s another one for the pile. Enjoy! 😉

Alright, let's give it a whirl:

"Behold the majestic twirl of our Spaghetti al pesto e limone! We'd call it a dance, but let's face it, it's more like a culinary tango. Basil pesto, lemon zest, spinach - they're all joining in on the pasta party. Vegan parmesan on top, because why not? Gluten-free? Sure thing, we're feeling inclusive today. 🍝✨"

I just asked ChatGPT to write a caption that’s all wise and conscious and here it is: 🤣

'In a world filled with different traditions and beliefs, animal sacrifice has been a part of many cultures for centuries. But as we grow and learn as a society, we're starting to question the ethics of this practice. Do we really need to take another life to express our devotion? Are there alternative ways to nurture our spiritual growth and connection? When we take another life, we're not just killing an animal. Aren't we also destroying a potential source of love, companionship, and joy?

Let's examine the moral implications of our actions and strive to align our practices with a deeper sense of empathy and respect. The choice is ours. We can either continue with this practice, or we can choose to create a more compassionate and inclusive world for all beings.'

We didn't hire a salesperson for these cheesecakes because they can totally sell themselves. Go ahead, give 'em a try our Blueberry and Biscoff cheesecakes – or not, no strings attached. 🍰🌱

Our May Special: Aromatic Ginger Soda. It’s like a hug from your quirky aunt—unexpected, slightly spicy, and leaves you questioning your life choices. No alcohol, just existential musings. Cheers, fellow wanderer!

So here we are, almost a year and counting, and our Chicken Shawarma Pita is still reigning supreme. No secret sauce, just plain good food doing its thing. We could write a long love letter to it, but we'd rather let you taste the story yourself. 🥙🌱

When our menu is so extensive, it’s basically a trilogy. But don’t worry, there won’t be a pop quiz later. You don't need to memorize it, we’re not that cruel. 📖🤓

Remember, we’re all about that laid-back vibe – like a hammock swaying in the breeze. Enjoy your Monday friends!

🍜 Shirataki Ramen: A bowl of tangled noodles, colorful veggies, and tofu swimming in clear homemade veggie broth.

Who’d have thought? Our brunch superstar for half a decade is this unassuming plate of scrambled tofu—a simple and humble mix of tofu, English spinach, sundried tomato, and seasoning. 🤷‍♂️
It’s like our restaurant’s secret handshake: “Welcome to mediocrity—population: us!” 🙌

Yep! 📸 Another post that makes you question our photography choices. I just moved to a new place over the weekend, which is why I haven’t posted anything lately. But aything can be content nowadays. So when I was walking around the new neighborhood, I saw these three guys doing pole climbing. I think it’s a common extreme sport in Bali—I mean, with the height and high-voltage adrenaline?⚡🔥

I know, it is too VEGAN! But hey, we’re not here to judge. Try it out, and if you survive, let us know. Hahahaha But give it a shot and then tell us: Is it really? 🌱🤔

Raw Ravioli
Beetroot ravioli filled with spinach and cashew cream, topped with basil pesto and vegan parmesan, served with mixed salad

So, our regulars finally decided to step out of their comfort zone. Two days ago they looked at the menu and said, ‘Give me the Mint Kiwi Lemonade.’ I mean, it’s only taken them since 2020 to realize we serve more than just food and caffeine. 🙄 But hey, better late than never, right? Now they’re sipping this refreshing concoction, and I’m just here thinking, ‘Welcome to the party, pal. We’ve got mint, kiwi, and a dash of ‘about time’ in every glass.’ Cheers! 🍹

🌱 April Special: Polenta Lentils Salad 🌱

A chill combo of Tahini Polenta, Tomato Salsa, Black Lentils, Quinoa, and Watercress. Basil Oil, Coriander, Radish, and a sweet surprise of Chopped Cranberries. Gluten-free. Add Tabasco if you’re feeling wild – or not, we don’t really care. It’s cold, it’s fresh, it’s perfect for Bali’s heat.

Just another casual Monday where we pretend to write down your order but really, we’re just doodling. 😌📝✨

NotYourRegular Avocado Toast! It’s got all the greens and beans to make you feel like a responsible adult, even if you’re not.

Brunch so simple, you’ll think we forgot to try. Our Manggis milk flat white is like a warm hug for your insides, and the croissant? Well, it’s flaky on the outside, but aren’t we all?

Manggis milk is our homemade blend of oats and cashews, dressing up so convincingly as milk, you might just start questioning reality.

Here’s our turtle friend’s been vegan since the Jurassic period. No trend following here, just good ol’ fashioned herbivory. Our ‘speedy’ friend, showing us how to take life one flipper at a time. No rush, no fuss, just pure ocean chill.

March’s fling with our Mala Noodles: a hit and run or a dish to stay? Tell us, should we make this a forever thing, or are we saying ‘next’ to make room for more?

Customers? Check. Team? Present. Effort in this caption? Minimal. Happy Sunday!

A no-frills, honest breakfast setup: a golden croissant and pain au chocolat, accompanied by the classic duo of butter and the eternal debate: to jam or not to jam? Or maybe join the peanut butter rebels! Or, even better, both?! End your internal conflict and embrace them all.

Selamat pagi! Happy belated Nyepi Day!

Survived Nyepi with just a few cat scratches and have mastered the art of silent meditation (napping). Who knew doing nothing could be so exhausting? Turns out, doing absolutely nothing is the new extreme sport.

How did your Day of Silence go? Catch any ogoh-ogoh action, or were you too busy not being busy?

Back to business today - cooking up a storm and flashing smiles. Drop by if you miss the sound of human voices… or just need a decent meal. 😉

Today’s agenda: pretending to be productive by posting this. Achievement unlocked: Master of Useless Updates. 🏆

I want to see if my boss actually checks my work or not.

Oh, you missed the Melasti parade? No biggie, it’s just the pre-game show to Nyepi. There I was, stucked at the Kerobokan traffic light, a whopping 40-minute timeout from life. And what did I do? Did I seize the moment to capture the cultural spectacle? Nah, I was too busy practicing the ancient art of laziness to take out my phone.

Instead, let me paint you a mental picture of… a field. Yep, the one right in front of our restaurant. It’s the kind of view that makes you question our photography choices. Who needs another field pic? Certainly not me. Or you. Or that guy over there. 🤷‍♂️ but hey who needs a photo of Melasti as well? Who cares anyway hahaha

Fast forward to Nyepi in a couple of days. Plans, you ask? I’m all set for an epic day of… absolutely nothing. Just me, my bed, and the cats, floating in a sea of unproductivity. 🌿⚽

So, what’s the moral of the story? Life’s too fleeting to whip out your phone every five seconds. Unless, of course, it’s to snap that drool-worthy meal 🌴

Close-up of hands skillfully navigating fork through a vibrant bowl of Mala Noodles, complete with steamy vegetable broth, shiitake mushrooms, vegan beef, wontons, bok choy, tofu, and a fiery Szechuan sauce, all crowned with fresh leek and a sprinkle of white sesame seeds.

Have you given our March Special a whirl? Or are you too cool for food that’s hot in more ways than one?

Behold the Godless Choco Brownie Shake - A devil-may-care shake that’s ditching the pearly gates for a dive into chocolate decadence, topped with a halo of vegan whipped cream just for kicks. Because who needs salvation when you’ve got chocolate? It’s sinfully good, and we’re not even sorry.
