Let him take you! It's the second best place in the world for eating, after Singapore. We lived in Thailand for many years, and even today you can get a great dinner for less than $3! Every night the local sidewalks turn into restaurants as the vendors set out tables and chairs next to their carts, and on some streets you can walk for miles and never be more than 20 feet from a vendor's stall!

I have been to Bali quite a few times if not for a while, and the wall of warm humidity that hits you when you step off the plane in Denpasar is soaked in aromas, some of which are food-related... one of my fonder memories of Bali, that arrival (almost a "coming home" feeling).

I think Bali is the most beautiful country I've ever seen, and the eating there is great too. The variety of Muslim-influenced cooking is wonderful when combined with the exotic local spices of Indonesia. We always bring back fresh black peppercorns when we visit! They smell sooooo good!

Fresh veggies and such are in slightly short supply at the moment, with the floods

Not knowing much about the geography of Oz, are you in a flood area too? I thought Noosa was at least 100k north of Brisbane. I hope all is well for you!
