Just got back from Bali, and my DMs have been blowing up! Everyone's asking if I know a place that's a one-stop shop for dinner and nightlife. Anjay! You've definitely asked the right person. My experience at ShiShi in Seminyak this time really opened my eyes.
The moment I stepped in, I almost thought I'd walked onto the wrong movie set. Giant LED screens wrapped around the entire wall, playing super rhythmic music. It felt like I was eating in an aquarium from some cyberpunk movie[1], the atmosphere was turned all the way up. Just a heads-up, there's a dress code here. If you dress too Chill, you might be stopped at the door. Girls, remember to dress up nicely before you come![2]
Dinner is the Foreplay, Fuel Up Before the Main Event!
We went for the All-You-Can-Eat dinner. They give you a small menu, and it's a tapas-style, small-plate format[3], so you can be bold and order everything you want to try!
My Order's Hit and Miss List:
👍 Hit List (Go for it!):
👎 Miss List (emm... it's okay, but not necessary):
To be honest, while it was good overall, I felt the quality control was a bit inconsistent. The seasoning on some dishes was a bit too strong for my taste, and the desserts were sickeningly sweet[4]. Also, the ordering rule is a bit annoying: you can only order three dishes at a time and can only add more after you've finished. During peak hours, the serving speed will make you wait so long you'll start questioning your existence[5], so you need to be patient.
- Oysters: Insanely fresh! With that sweet taste of the sea, I polished off several plates all by myself.[6]
- Grilled Tenderloin: The quality is on point, and it's cooked just right. Meat lovers can order this without a second thought.[7]
- Half Moon Scallop: The texture is springy and chewy, and the seasoning is very unique. Recommended![8]
Listen up! Tips to Save Money and Avoid Pitfalls
Here comes the most Mantap part of this meal! After dinner, you can use your wristband to get into their nightclub upstairs for free, saving you the entrance fee! Just so you know, guys have to pay 350k for a ticket to get in alone!
Overall, if you're looking for a place that can both satisfy your cravings and let you experience Bali's nightlife, ShiShi is indeed a hassle-free and cost-effective choice. The price of one meal covers two activities. No matter how you do the math, it's worth it
- Book! Book! Book!: Important things must be said three times! This place is super popular; you basically won't get a table without a reservation, especially on weekends.[9]
- Price Difference: The buffet price is different on weekdays and weekends. The difference is about 100k Indonesian Rupiah, so go on a weekday if you want to save money.[10]
- Best Time: I recommend booking a spot for 8-9 PM. The ingredients are freshest at this time, and after eating, you can go straight upstairs to Nongkrong. The timing is perfect.[11]
- Club Levels: There are several floors upstairs, each with a completely different music style. The second floor is Techno, and the third floor/rooftop is R&B and Pop. There's always a vibe for you to dance to![12]
- Immersive cyberpunk aquarium! Giant LED screens & pumping music instantly set the vibe! [1]
- Post-dinner, wristband means free clubbing upstairs, saving guys 350k IDR on tickets! [2]
- Dinner is a Tapas-style buffet! Small portions let you feast, especially on the explosively fresh oysters – sweet, briny, and addictive! [3][4]
