Saturday afternoon I had an appointment to meet Brian Moore fom Perth Australia. Brian is in Bali for a couple of weeks and as usual, is staying in the Kuta area. Being fans of the game of pool, we agreed to meet at Kori Restaurant on Poppies II in Kuta.
Kori Restaurant was built with the idea of being an oasis in the middle of Kuta. A kori agung, is the stone capped archway, that separates the middle and inner courtyards of a Balinese temple. Passing through the gate at Kori Restaurant, you step into another reality, with elegant staff in black lace kebaya’s. One of the parts of Kori Restaurant I like, is the pool room. Brian and I met at 6pm and he ws immediately very pleased I had suggested Kori. The pool room is cool, complete with a large pool table, jazz music and access to the bar. The deal is you rent the table for 30,000rp for 1 hour and get a free large Bintang. Sure there are cheaper places to play pool, but for me its worth it, just for the peace and quiet. Brian kicked my ass, he’s a shark and I hope we’ll get the chance to play again.
Brian will be heading to Gili Trawangan next week, a place he finds suits his style, being a social person, with a seriously relaxed personality.
