From beach cafés in Bali to brunches in Melbourne, I spill the beans — literally — on what’s worth the hype and what’s just overpriced avocado toast.
These restaurant reviews are honest, experience-based, and family-tested. You’ll find places we’ve actually eaten at — not just bookmarked or scrolled past — from casual cafés to special-occasion dining.
Expect real opinions, drool-worthy photos, and practical tips that actually help. Along the way, you’ll also get mum-friendly verdicts like:
“Would eat again… with or without kids.”
Because food worth leaving the house for should come with honesty, laughter, and zero regret.
After a long, heat-filled day in Ubud, Bebek Teba Sari offered exactly what we needed — a floating gazebo, rice fields glowing at dusk, comforting food, and the rare luxury of not having to decide anything. This wasn’t about spectacle or trends. It was about space, softness, and letting the day settle.
On our final night in Ubud, we wandered with no plan and found Pasir — a calm, flavour-driven restaurant blending Balinese ingredients with Mediterranean technique. Thoughtful dishes, a warm upstairs space, and one unforgettable dessert made this an unplanned meal we still talk about. A quiet standout in Ubud’s dining scene.
Tegenungan Waterfall is one of the most accessible waterfalls near Ubud — but with kids, access is only half the story. This is our honest experience visiting Tegenungan with children, navigating the heat, the steps, and why pairing it with Omma Dayclub turned a potentially exhausting stop into one of our most balanced Ubud days.

Somewhere between lunchboxes, laundry, and toddler tantrums at airport security, I lost “Sid” and became just “Ma.” Eat Play Travel with Sid is my journey back, through food that feeds the soul, laughter that fills the room, and adventures that remind me who I am (and how much chocolate counts as self-care).
