Cool Places: Kafe Topi, Organic Cafe in Ubud

Greetings!
Here we are on today's post about Cool Places in the town. This time we are still talk about a cozy place in Ubud, Kafe Topi.

Kafe Topi is located in Nyuh Kuning St., Ubud, Bali, managed by Japanese owner on the next of Sopa Garden. It has a very unique design that is very organic, like the cafe offers for the foods and drinks. Kafe Topi offers not only for vegan but also for everybody. The menu is not as many as usual cafe. We tried the Chicken Gyouza here and taste nice. The service also fast, friendly, and great.

The dining area is made of bamboo that is built like a gazebo inside a garden. The roof is made of dried grass. Sometimes if you're lucky, you can see some cows running on the small path besides the cafe.

Kafe Topi is not big but offers a cozy place to spend the day. The place is separated into 3 areas: the kitchen, group dining area, and some seats at the bamboo gazebo. All the part of the cafe is surrounded by the garden.

That's all for today! We do hope you all enjoy the Cool Places list by House of Smichi. Thank you for reading!

Cool Places: Seniman Coffee Studio, Ubud

Greetings!
Cool Places on House of Smichi is back again with another review of hangout and great place to spend the times. And since we are still in Bali for next months, we will review some of the great places around Bali, especially in Ubud.

This time, we're trying the famous coffee shop in town, Seniman Coffee Studio.

Located in Jl. Sriwedari, Ubud, Bali, it's a right place to spend the times in the afternoon and having a chit chat with friends. The place isn't too big enough so they're separated the cafe into two part of  the building that is opposing each other.

So we tried the building in front of the main cafe. The specialties here is the cold beverages, from milk to chocolate. We tried the Soy Milk on Ice and Bali Shot (Kintamani Bali Choco mixed with Almond Milk) and they are sooo delicious and fresh to drink in the middle of the day.

The Cold Brew studio is less crowded, so you can use your times to relax and chill out here. It has a very beautiful industrial concept bar and a unique chair made of plastic that combines with wood to make them sophisticated.

And it has a very nice spot to enjoy your beverages while seeing the activities on the road. Sometimes, when there's a Balinese religious ceremony, you can see Balinese people bring their offerings to the nearest temple.

People at the Seniman Coffee Studio are really friendly and helpful! You can enjoy your time there.

That's all for this week's Cool Places. We'll see you again on the next edition of Cool Places around Bali, especially Ubud.
Hope you enjoy our review!

Color Therapy: Balinese Offerings Color Palette

This month House of Smichi is still working on a project in Bali and had a chance to see Balinese people celebrate their religion's ceremony. And what we found interesting was this colorful offerings as the ceremony's offerings. It is made of few colors of flowers: purple, orange, green from leaves, red, and pink.
And here are our inspirations of the day.

Enjoy our rainbow interiors!
Well, basically rainbow color is matched with white as the main colors of the room. The neutral white can reduce the "noisiness" of colorful spectrum.

But also, you can set rainbow color with the darker background.

And you can find rainbow color best in Moroccan interior style.

Let's meet again on the next post of Color Therapy.

Color Therapy: Rice Terrace Color Palette

They said, green is the main natural color in the world. Luckily, House of Smichi lives in a tropical island which has evergreen plants. And few days ago we took a walk in a beautiful area in Ubud, and found the hidden gem inside Bali. This view only one of many rice terraces in Indonesia. That's why sometimes Indonesia is being called Emerald of the Equator.

Enjoy the inspirations of the day!

Usually green is match with wooden brown, white, and black. Sometimes, the combinations also match with gold, pink, blue, and purple.

Green always gives a fresh feeling to the room. Though it's only by the color of the sofa's fabrics or simply put the living plants inside the room. Also, make a big windows to let the surround nature and plants become the part of the room.

See you in our other colors therapy session! Of course we are still take the inspirations from Bali's nature.
