Queue two hours, an afternoon of diarrhea? Canggu's Hottest Gigi Susu: Red and Black

Every time I pass by Canggu's famous main road, there are always two groups of people outside Gigi Susu: one group is frantically queuing to take photos, the other is queuing to buy its face-sized croissant. It's gone viral on Tiktok, and has over 5,000 Google reviews with a 4.7-star rating. Seeing this spectacle, I thought, this must be Mantap to the heavens, right? Turns out... Anjay, this water is way too deep.

Is aesthetics everything? The vibe is definitely something to talk about

Let's talk about some unpleasant stuff... A double whammy for both my wallet and my stomach

A no-nonsense guide to avoiding pitfalls, take it, no need to thank me!

So, is it worth going? Here's my advice:

All in all, it's a place overly glorified by social media. Good for photos, not for serious foodies. If you decide to go, manage your expectations, and good luck, girls! 🤞

• 1. Purely for photos and checking in: Go for it, but don't have high expectations for the food. Remember to distinguish the queuing lines; there's a dedicated line for photos[7], don't queue incorrectly and waste time.
• 2. If you want good food: You can try the croissant, but I recommend dining in, it feels fresher than takeout[8]. Don't order coffee, you'll thank me later.
• 3. Best time: Definitely don't go on weekends! Come early on a weekday morning[9], there will be fewer people, and you can get a good spot.
• 4. How to get there: Ride your scooter🛵! Traffic jams are common in Canggu, car parking spots are incredibly hard to find, even though there's valet parking[10], a scooter is still the most convenient.
