Dining in Sanur Bali: Why Over the Moon Stands Out

Pete: 00:00:01

Hi and welcome to this episode of hey Georgie.

Pete: 00:00:03

Where we're going to treat you to a little treat called over the Moon, a little restaurant in Sanur in Bali.

Pete: 00:00:13

So, hi, I'm Pete and as you've probably gathered, Jane and I do travel to Bali quite a bit and we like to.

Pete: 00:00:26

And as you can see, I find example of eating just a little bit too much.

Pete: 00:00:31

But hey, that's life.

Pete: 00:00:35

So we tend to stay in the northern area of Sanur.

Pete: 00:00:38

So that's up near Sindhu Beach, Sindhu Night Market and on Jalan Tamblingan, the main strip in Bali.

Pete: 00:00:48

Just on a bend just before you head towards the market.

Pete: 00:00:52

There's a great restaurant there called over the Moon.

Pete: 00:00:56

We've been going there now for last three trips on a regular basis.

Pete: 00:01:01

We stayed at the Aquarius this time and we didn't have breakfast, so we were out every morning.

Pete: 00:01:07

So one morning we went there for breakfast and we had, well, Jane had a cereal bowl, I had eggs Benedict and they were as good as standard egg Benedict as you would like.

Pete: 00:01:22

But we also frequent there for lunch and dinner or just a coffee just to pop in.

Pete: 00:01:30

They make a very good coffee.

Pete: 00:01:33

But yeah, with the meals they are exceptional in the sense that they're just enough.

Pete: 00:01:41

They're not over the top like you can get in some places.

Pete: 00:01:44

They're fairly reasonably priced.

Pete: 00:01:46

You're looking at about.

Pete: 00:01:50

Let me go and have a look on their website for you.

Pete: 00:01:53

So one of the things I do have there quite often is the Chinese style pork belly bao buns.

Pete: 00:02:04

And there's 70,000, so $7 Australian plus 15 and a half percent on that because a lot of the restaurants there have the government like our here in Australia, GST and a service charge.

Pete: 00:02:23

So it normally comes somewhere between 15 and 16%.

Pete: 00:02:28

Some of the places have it included, some of it don't.

Pete: 00:02:31

So over the Moon don't include it.

Pete: 00:02:35

But all their food is excellent.

Pete: 00:02:37

Now there is one drink.

Pete: 00:02:41

Their coffees are great, can't argue them.

Pete: 00:02:43

But they have their signature lemon iced tea.

Pete: 00:02:48

And the beauty of that is that you get a flavored ice popsicle in it.

Pete: 00:02:53

So you can have orange, strawberry and all those kind of things.

Pete: 00:02:57

So it's pretty, pretty nifty idea.

Pete: 00:02:58

When I first ordered it, the girl saying, would you like a popsicle?

Pete: 00:03:03

And I'm saying, well, no, I don't need a popsicle, man.

Pete: 00:03:06

I just need the iced tea.

Pete: 00:03:07

And then with language barrier it all clicked and I said, so the icy pole goes into the iced tea and she goes, yes.

Pete: 00:03:16

And then I Figured it out from there and we had a bit of a laugh and it was on for young and old then and we were just having.

Pete: 00:03:26

And every time I went back in and ordered the iced tea, she'd just smile and laugh.

Pete: 00:03:30

The staff very attentive to everything.

Pete: 00:03:37

They.

Pete: 00:03:39

Their English is quite good so it's better than my Indonesian so thank God for that.

Pete: 00:03:45

And it's open from.

Pete: 00:03:50

Just let me double check for you but I'm pretty sure it opens at 8 and closes at like 10.

Pete: 00:04:01

They do have a happy hour happy have 40k and 55k cocktails.

Pete: 00:04:11

So that's from 4pm onwards.

Pete: 00:04:14

If you go to Bali you will see that they have cocktail many hours.

Pete: 00:04:26

So yeah, the over the moon's open from 8am to 9pm It's a little bit of a funky place.

Pete: 00:04:33

I'll show you some photos of that and a little bit of a video into the entrance but comfortable chairs.

Pete: 00:04:41

A lot of nomads go in there, digital nomads and do their work.

Pete: 00:04:48

There's plenty of power sockets and everything there.

Pete: 00:04:52

Fairly decent WI fi I must say.

Pete: 00:04:55

But yeah, it's a.

Pete: 00:04:57

A great place.

Pete: 00:04:58

I do all of my Reviews out of 10 because I can then break them down into food and drink and everything.

Pete: 00:05:05

But this is a good solid seven and a half I've had.

Pete: 00:05:10

Probably just one little bad not.

Pete: 00:05:13

Not bad but not a super duper meal there.

Pete: 00:05:18

But the everything else is excellent and outweighs that one disappointment.

Pete: 00:05:28

But the ambience, location.

Pete: 00:05:33

I will say this about location.

Pete: 00:05:35

You do have to look in a bit so it's not sitting right on the main street on the footpath there's just a fraction bit.

Pete: 00:05:42

So if you're walking south from Sindhu Night Market it's on the left hand side just before Bali Made in Bali.

Pete: 00:05:54

There's a shop on the corner and you'll see it just set back in there a little bit.

Pete: 00:05:58

But all I can say is over the moon with their food, drink and atmosphere.

Pete: 00:06:07

So hope you enjoy it.

Pete: 00:06:08

And there we go.
