Just say that or 'jangan dikasi gula' and you should be right.
Remember that waitresses change shifts and you have to tell each one as she appears.
Yes 'juices' normally contain pre-prepared liquid sugar mixture, so you must use the phrases as above.
Kecap Manis is not the only Kecap. Best say 'minta dikasi kecap asin' which is the bitter one and quite tasty too. There is even a
' Kecap manis sedang' which is medium sweet.
If you stay 14 days or more it is worth buying the kit for the 20 litre "Galon" which can be mounted in your room for constant use and filling travel bottles; leave it to your favourite staff member when you leave, or ask them to use it until you return.....@rp12,000 for
20 litres it is well worth it; initial outlay about 80,000.
Sunshine and I are both Type Two, she more tha I and it's important to take your tablets on time. Multivitamins from home are a must do; most vitamin supplements up there are flooded with sugar. Would you believe that Honey states as first ingredient, yes you got it right GULA.
Just use the sugar in the smiles and that is what makes Bali most enjoyable.
