Malaysia II Day 15: Bali – KK

It was time to say our goodbyes to Bali, but before doing so, we needed to have another mie goreng/nasi goreng breakfast.

SPAGHeTEI!

Update: This restaurant has permanently closed. I did not and will not give up on my noodle journey in Vancouver. The time, I had Japanese spaghetti at SPAGHeTEI on Robson. I never had Japanese-style spaghetti before but I knew I wouldn’t be disappointed, as this was approved by my favourite fellow foodies (try saying that a… Continue reading SPAGHeTEI!
