Jenggala Ceramic Bali

July 29, 2011

I’ve been interested in Jenggala ceramics since my first visit to Bali, wherein my husband and I visited their outlet store in Jl. Sunset. Then I found them too expensive because the crazy cheap shopping in Manila was still fresh in my mind. My interest was renewed when I read this post on Chuzai Living – I wanted the Jenggala milk carton creamer in white. I went to this seller and the Kemang branch of Jenggala Ceramics. They didn’t have it in white (they did have it in cow print) and the prices were expensive (It’s cheaper in the Uluwatu factory for sure). So last week in Bali I went to their factory and showroom in Uluwatu. It was worth the trip!

After 2 years of drooling, I finally got a nice tea set  and salt and pepper bowls. Unfortunately the sets for their popular white/cream line were not complete so I just mixed and matched. They had the white version of the Milk Carton Creamer… but guess what?! I didn’t buy it! =) I realized that the the opening was so small, it will be hard to clean! I try to balance out practicality and aesthetics so I went for the one with a wide opening below.

  • Sugar bowl with wooden cover Rp 70,000 or 7 USD est.
  • Wooden spoon Rp 40,000 or 4 USD est.
  • Large milk jug Rp 90,000 or 9 USD est.
  • Kendy Teapot Rp 330,000 or 33 USD est.*
  • Tray or Rectangular plate with lines motif (34.5 x 14.5 x 2 cm) Rp 120,000 or 12 USD est.

For the Salt and Pepper Bowls I bought the wooden tray it came with but I also bought a bigger the lines motif ceramic tray, because I wanted to buy a toothpick holder. Since they were all out except for 2 designs that didn’t fit with the set, I just made sure I had another option. I’ll visit Jenggala Kemang soon to check out the toothpick holders.

  • Lines Motif tray small Rp 80,000 or 8 USD est.
  • Salt and Pepper pots (they called it small curry dishes) 2pcs  x 60,000 = Rp 120,000 or 12 USD est.
  • Wood base 50,000 or 5 USD est.
  • Salt & pepper spoons 2pcs x 20,000 = Rp 40,000 or 4 USD est.

MORE THAN JUST CERAMICS

They also sell other household items like pretty dining table linens. I love the polkadot prints though my tastes are more conservative. I bought 3 sets of their cream pure cotton table napkins. This will be a nice and more formal alternative to the thicker ones I had made in Chic Mart.
If you have kid they can enjoy pottery making classes while you are doing your shopping!  Pottery making is inside the Cafe area (right side when you enter). Men will love having their wives shop in the Uluwatu showroom too because they can sit, relax have a coffee or a meal at their cafe! (If they don’t want to do pottery with the kids! =P)

AWARD WINNING DESIGN

Interesting to note that the KENDI COLLECTION won the UNESCO Award of Excellence for Handicrafts in Southeast Asia 2010. It is one of the 19 products awarded. Jenggala Ceramics has the distinction of having 2 out of the 19 winners. The other product is the most beautiful lunch box I’ve ever seen (it’s environmentally friendly too!) the RANTANG.

    Wow, I love the design!!! Absolutely beautiful! What a great find! I love what you got. I would loooooove to have it myself, too. The combination of the ceramics and wood is very chic. Thanks for the information. I would love to go to the store as well as the outlet (thanks for this, too!) next time I have a chance to visit Bali. I might take a loot at their store in Kemang since I don’t know when will be the next time we get to go visit.

      You are most welcome Kaho! Did you know that Japan is Jenggala’s biggest market? It’s definitely so YOU! =) I went to the Kemang store for the toothpick holder but they have very little stock (compared to the factory showroom where you will absolutely go ga-ga!) so I will be going back on August 15 when they have new stock. They are also pricier than the Uluwatu store, but still worth checking out! Let’s go!? =)

      Yes it is and it’s SO not complete. I just checked and they barely have complete collections. You will absolutely die in Jenggala Uluwatu! I’ve also been to the outlet stores in Sunset and Sanur. They have limited but even cheaper stuff – just check the defects. Some for me were passable so I went ahead and got a tray and 4 tea cups for my tea pot at Sanur. =) Enjoy!

          They wrap it with lots of thick brown paper. What I did is just empty my carry-on trolley and then placed my loot in there with some clothes for more cushioning. I didn’t check it in. BUT… if you buy A LOT then they have boxes you can purchase and they will pack it well for you.

SANTA CLAUS MAIN POST OFFICE So one really meanin SANTA CLAUS MAIN POST OFFICE

So one really meaningful part of our trip was @santaclausmainpostoffice which is right outside of @santaclausoffice.

🎄 @diplobaby wrote a postcard for Santa

🎄 He also wrote some postcards to his friends

🎄 I wrote a postcard to @diplobaby to remember our many firsts in this trip.

For the last 2 we were lucky that our hotel @glass_resort  had many FREE POSTCARDS  and STAMPS and we didn’t have to go to the post office. They conveniently sent it for us.

His close friends were happy to receive them and I also loved getting our own post. So cool!

Please don’t forget to LIKE this post to see more family adventures & travel tips!

SEEING SANTA Everyday is Christmas Day in @santac SEEING SANTA

Everyday is Christmas Day in @santaclausvillage_rovaniemi! 

While we were walking back to our hotel @glass_resort guess who passed by and was sweet enough to roll down his window to say high.

Roll down for the quick conversation. I’m glad I caught it on camera.

TD was pretty impressed that his car is also red. 😂

Mind you his facial hair looked totally real!

NIGHT OF THE MUSEUMS 2: For the 2nd Museum we cho NIGHT OF THE MUSEUMS 2:

For the 2nd Museum we chose
SAINT PETER’S CATHEDRAL ARCHEOLOGICAL SITE

🤍 Impressive cathedral even from the outside. If you are interested in the Church’s history, or even just history, this place is a must!

🤍 Off to the right is the stairs to go to another time, to see the ruins underneath the current cathedral. 

🤍 You get to see what was built here before the cathedral even up to the years before Christ.

🤍 I was really impressed with the mosaic tile flooring

🤍 You can see how Christianity evolved in Geneva over millenia 

🤍 There were a lot of deep wells. I wonder how they dug them out during simpler times? Some people even dropped credit cards. Be careful because once something falls out of your wallet, it’s gone. 

🤍 If you have fear of heights there are parts on the floor where there is a bigger distance from the ruin to the flooring. I got a bit scared in those parts.

🤍 We explained what we learned to @diplobaby and he was very fascinated with it. From the coins of the old days, the combs, how baptisms were done and how old these things were… he soaked it all up.

🤍 It’s so important not to underestimate our kids. If we share what we read and explain things to them even a museum like this is interesting. 

🤍 When we got out at 11, we walked back to the shuttle to get back to TD’s office. We saw some things like canons that made us realize how little we have explored of @ville_de_geneve! Must come back for more!

🤍 shuttle was like a private bus coz there were only 2 other people with us!

Night at the Museums is a great way to explore the city on a budget!
#UDWinGeneva #diplobaby #diplofamily #undiplomaticwife
NIGHT OF THE MUSEUMS 1: Last 13 May we went with NIGHT OF THE MUSEUMS 1:

Last 13 May we went with some colleagues & their families to check out Night in the Museums for the first time!

A FEW TIPS:

🤍 Doing the “Nuit des musées” is another way to see more museums in Geneva on a budget.

🤍 To avoid long lines, you can buy tickets online for chf10/adult. Kids are FREE.

🤍 BUT you might not get the pink lanyard/ID if the museums run out. No worries, nobody checked us.

🤍 Included in your ticket are FREE shuttle buses to take you from different points to another. So no need to buy regular train/tram tickets.

🤍 There are less people in the shuttles too, so this is good if you don’t like crowds. 

🤍 It starts at 5pm & ends at 12mn. But some museums close earlier

🤍 This year we started at 7pm and only got 2 museums done. If you get 2 in one night, it’s already worth it. 

🤍 Next year we will definitely start at 5 to see more museums.

🤍 And it’s better to schedule & book where you will have dinner, otherwise everything is totally full. 

🤍 For our group of about 20 (coz we were with 2 other families) we were able to get tables at McDonalds. 

🤍 If it’s rainy, use a lightweight hooded down jacket that can easily be folded like our favorite @uniqlo UltraLightDown Jacket. The cool thing about it is if you have not time to go to a coat check, you can roll it into it’s own bag.

NATURAL HISTORY MUSEUM @museum.geneve 

✨ We prioritized this because we knew the kids would love learning about the animals, the environment and even the crystals.

✨ It’s interesting because it’s also interactive. 

✨ It’s small but packs a punch and has several floors so the kids didn’t even want to leave. 

So happy we are exploring @ville_de_geneve more!

TRUFFLE TIPS When buying truffle products, it’s TRUFFLE TIPS

When buying truffle products, it’s important to know what you are buying. I’m not an expert but I’d like to share with you what I’ve learned over the years. 

Did you know that many TRUFFLE OILS only contain faux truffle flavoring?

⚡️Try to buy oils that contain small truffle bits to know that it’s a genuine truffle infusion. 

⚡️If the oil is clear (or even if it’s not), it’s important to read the ingredients list & make sure that it lists truffle/truffle infusion as an ingredient. 

⚡️Truffle flavor(ing) is not real truffle.

⚡️Black truffle is more common & cheaper than white truffle.

⚡️TRUFFLE SALT is cheaper but less flavorful than truffle oil. It’s great to layer on top of truffle oil when making truffle popcorn, eggs or pasta. But used alone the flavor isn’t as strong as time goes by. It’s good bang for buck though!

⚡️TRUFFLE POWDER is nice to have to give that truffle color, but not a must. It’s also more expensive coz it’s pure dried truffle.

Swipe to see how much we get them for at @tkmaxxat. We always go to @tkmaxxde when we go to Germany to get fancy things to fit within our limited budget.

As for the @turci_firenze traditionally infused truffle oil, we get them at an affordable price in @elcorteingles when we are in Madrid.

We don’t have it all the time, but when we want to treat ourselves at home we make our favorites:

1. Truffle popcorn for movie nights
2. Truffle scrambled eggs for weekends
3. Truffle cream pasta for special meals
