48 hours in Capella Ubud
Day 2
🌿7:30am morning TRX
The next day, I woke up early and arrived at The Armory for a morning TRX class, just one of the many free activities offered by Capella Ubud to staying guests.
第二天，我起了個大早梳洗准備去運動。Capella Ubud 有不少無額外收費的活動可以參加，比如早上的 TRX、瑜伽等課程，地點都在這個舒服的室外健身空間。
A few other guests also woke up early for this energy boost to start the day.
跟我一起上課的還有一對日本客人以及一對澳洲客人，大家都很努力啊～
After the workout, I went back to the tent for an outdoor shower before scooping up the still asleep husband for breakfast together.
運動完畢，回家洗個舒服的戶外淋浴，再把睡夢中的 A 先生給叫醒一起吃早餐去。
🌿9:30am breakfast at Mads Lange
Breakfast was served at Mads Lange*, a semi-outdoor restaurant facing an expanse of forest green, just sitting there feeling the breeze on my face was pure pleasure. In addition to breakfast, Mads Lange also does traditional Indonesian cuisine for lunch and dinner (which we will experience tonight).
*The restaurant is named after Danish spice trader Mads Johansen Lange who contributed greatly to the development of Bali.
早餐在 Mads Lange，環境開闊，涼風拂面，望出去滿眼綠意。這家餐廳命名自對峇里島有貢獻良多的丹麥香料貿易大亨 Mads Johansen Lange，除了早餐之外，中午和晚上也提供傳統印尼料理。
Love the fan design and the beautiful tapestry up on the ceiling depicting Balinese myths.
天花板上精細的挂毯上描繪著峇里島的神話，風扇也很有當地風情。
In my previous post I’ve mentioned that not a single tree was cut down during the building of Capella Ubud, so it’s no surprise to see a tree growing right through the deck of Mads Lange like this:
上一篇有提過 Capella Ubud 築造過程中不砍伐任何一棵樹，所以在不少建築的中間會有這樣一顆樹突然冒出。可能是爲了美觀 + 保護，還圍了這樣一個可愛的小草裙。
For breakfast, we started with glasses of morning start (yellow tumeric, lemon, tamarind, Balinese brown sugar) to wake up the palate.
早餐，先來一杯由薑黃、羅望子、檸檬做成的 morning start 將胃喚醒。
Followed by some Balinese breakfast: martabek telur, ikan goreng, nasi campur…fried baby fish, chili sambal, banana leaf rice, chicken satay, all delicious!
再嚐點峇里島特色早餐 – martabek telur、ikan goreng、nasi campur…雞肉沙爹、香蕉葉米飯、炸魚、辣醬，都很美味！
We were reluctant to leave this terrace even after breakfast, so we ordered a cup of Balinese coffee to prolong the stay…
飯後仍舍不得離開這個露台，再點一杯峇里島咖啡慢慢喝…
By the way, this is chef Matthew McCool mentioned in the Api Jiwa article. This is the man to find if you are looking for good food in Ubud.
順便介紹一下在 Api Jiwa 篇提到的澳洲主廚 Matthew McCool，到烏布要吃好吃的，一定要來 Capella Ubud 找他。
🌿12:30pm lunch at Locavore
The only reason to lure us away from Capella Ubud during our stay was our lunch reservation at Restaurant Locavore, #42 on this year’s Asia’s 50 Best Restaurants. Originally I wasn’t able to get a booking because I looked too late, but somehow through the Capella Ubud connection, they were able to give us two seats (woohoo!). More on Restaurant Locavore in a separate post.
Note: The drive from Capella Ubud to Ubud is about 20 minutes. There are free shuttles everyday at 10am, 1pm, 4pm; you can also ask the hotel to arrange a ride at anytime with additional fee (around 20 USD/one way).
這兩天唯一離開 Capella Ubud 的理由，是去烏布鎮上吃亞洲 50 最佳餐廳排名 #42 的 Restaurant Locavore。其實當我想起要訂位時官網上已顯示客滿，但通過 Capella 的人脈最後幫我弄到了位子，也是驚喜。這頓午餐，我會另外開一篇分享。
注：從 Capella Ubud 去烏布大約要 20 分鍾車程，每天10點，1點，4點有免費班車接送，也可以請酒店特別安排車子接送（單程大約20美金左右）。
🌿5:00pm chill in the pool
Lunch at Locavore turned out to be much longer than expected, and it was already 5pm by the time we got back to the resort. Last chance of the day to soak up some sun in the salt water pool with a bottle of chilled bintang.
吃完 Locavore 後回到酒店已經5點了，把握下午最後的陽光在鹽水按摩池裏泡個澡 + 喝杯冰涼的 bintang 啤酒。
On another note, Capella Ubud offers free laundry service up to 4 pieces/person/day (dry cleaning not included). The gym clothes I wore this morning to TRX already came back fresh and clean by the afternoon!
對了，Capella Ubud 還有免費洗衣服務，限每人四件（不含乾洗）。我早上運動完後送洗的衣服下午就乾乾淨淨地回來了，明天早上的瑜伽課又可以穿啦。
🌿7:30pm dinner at Mads Lange
Back at Mads Lange for dinner to try their newly-launched rijsttafel. But before we talk about what is rijsttafel, can we just admire, again, how beautiful ceiling at Mads Lange is?
晚上，回到 Mads Lange 試試他們新推出的 rijsttafel。在解釋何爲 rijsttafel 之前，不得不再次贊歎一下 Mads Lange 的美麗屋頂，從這裏就可看出在打造 Capella Ubud 時設計師花了多少心思。
Ok, so, rijsttafel. This dutch word literally means “rice table” and is a style of elaborate meal adapted by the Dutch during their occupation of Indonesia back in the days. It consists of rice accompanied by numerous (sometimes as many as 40) side dishes served in small portions.
回到 rijsttafel。這個字其實是荷蘭文，意思是 “rice table”，是荷蘭在佔領印尼期間發展出的一套印尼菜的獨特宴客吃法。爲何叫做 rice table 呢？因爲這是一種用多道小缽菜來配飯的吃法，在大一點的宴客場面裏，小缽菜甚至可以多達40多道。
Everything is served all at once, filling up the table instantly.
上菜的時候是這樣一股腦兒地，相當澎湃。
We had sambals, satay, fish, pork ribs, fruit, vegetables, pickles, nuts, desserts…an abundant and delicious selection of Indonesian cuisine.
我們當晚吃到的菜色裡有各種香料和醬菜、雞、排骨、魚、香料、沙嗲、水果、蔬菜、甜點等..集合了印尼各地的特色料理，非常豐盛而且美味！
The rijstaffel was so tasty that we ended up finishing almost everything, despite being still half full from the long lunch at Locavore. To sooth the stomach, a pot of camomile tea back at the tent before drifting off to sleep…
結果因爲吃太多了所以晚上肚子不舒服（真是哭笑不得 😂），一打電話至前台，服務人員馬上就幫我送來安撫腸胃的洋甘菊茶。喝了兩杯後，才舒舒服服地睡著…
Day 3
🌿7:30am yoga
Another early day at The Armory. Our yoga instructor had already prepared yoga mats, water, towels etc. for us. A few deep breath, and commenced our morning practice…I couldn’t have imagined a better way to start the day.
又是早起的一天。抵達時老師已精神滿滿地幫我們備好了瑜伽墊、水、毛巾等，深呼吸數次，開始晨間瑜伽課程。能這樣能量滿滿的開始一天，真的很棒。
Followed by a nice shower and hearty breakfast just like yesterday, then we barely had enough time to check out the pool and enjoy a few last moments in our tent before heading to the airport. Though I really wasn’t ready to leave this little piece of paradise, I could only reassure myself that I’ll be back again soon…
瑜伽後和前一天一樣吃了早餐、去泳池邊晃一晃、在房間裏躺一躺，就到了不得不離開的時候。酒店已幫我們算好去機場的時間，提前安排了車子送我們。雖然依依不舍，也只能告訴自己日後再回來啦…
After staying at Capella Ubud for two nights, I would definitely recommend adding a third if time allows. To tempt you even more, there’s currently a “Stay 3 Pay 2” package available on Capella Ubud’s website, something to take advantage of if you are looking for a getaway from wherever you are.
Enjoy the stay :)
老實說在 Capella 只住兩晚太短了，要不是事後還有事情，真想再住第三晚，更悠閒地體驗度假村裏的各個細節。Capella Ubud 的官網上有 “Stay 3 Pay 2″（住兩晚贈送第三晚）的 package，到今年年底截止，有興趣的人可以去看看細節（Capella Ubud 首頁菜單上點擊 “offer” 就可以看到這個優惠了）。
Enjoy the stay :)
