Bali, a popular vacation destination for people from all over the world, offers a wealth of delicious food from all over the world.

Among the many areas of Bali, Ubud in particular is a place where, to put it mildly, every other restaurant is a gourmet restaurant. And it's not just imitations; there are plenty of dishes that truly capture the authentic flavors of local cuisine.
One of my favorite restaurants and frequented by many is a handmade burger joint called Pat Tony. Apparently, Pat Tony was opened by an Australian who loved Bali and insisted on serving authentic local cuisine.
The most important thing when traveling is food. It's not easy to live in a place where the food doesn't suit your taste, but this is the case. Bali is a perfect destination for a family trip, with its abundance of delicious restaurants.am.
- exotic culture

- low prices
At the current exchange rate, 10,000 rupees is about 844 won, and it is generally listed on the price tag. If you subtract one '0' from the rupiah, you can calculate it in Korean Won. For example, 20,000 rupees is calculated as 2,000 won.
Because in general, the price in a typical restaurant in Bali is 16%, including service charge (6%) and tax (10%), so the calculation above is generally correct.
Of course, it varies greatly depending on the product you purchase, but the prices of daily necessities, clothes, and restaurant food that we purchase a lot are much lower than in Korea, so it is a very good environment for Koreans to live for a month.
