Fast forward the night by the pool eating supper, it was the start of a beautiful morning in Bali. The Seminyak streets are not half as busy as Kuta, but the dead morning silence tells the story of the residents who probably had one too many to drink the night before. As weird as it seems, the stillness of the morning was even more enjoyable without the crowd. Merely 5 minutes from where I lived was another charming cafe where I was going to be spending the morning waking my stomach up for what was about to come for the rest of the day. Corner House in Seminyak is a boutique coffee spot serving up Australian style breakfast in the Kayu Aya Cafe Strip. But no worries, I was not going to go all Aussie in this tropical climate! The drinks were just to get my caffeine addict friends started thats all.
Our duration at Corner House might be a hit and run scenario as our stay was short, but it did not stop me from admiring its stylish setting! The bar counter looked reminiscent of a colonial bar counter from the past. Have to praised its handsome marble top too. Its distressed walls were particularly attractive when paired with its dark coloured columns and catchy fittings. Pictures of some potted plants by the table:

Decor aside, the drinks were “OK”. Food wise, it looked alright. You have breakfast burritos and a range of "Eat Pray Love" dishes like mueslis with berries, or acai bla bla bla. Alright, I'm having a dig at those health foodies out there but you catch my drift. In saying that though, if you are a Bali expat looking for a taste of the Australian brunch scene then Corner House is definitely a good spot to start.
