Gimme Pies
Our time at Daly River was awesome, but sadly we needed to hit the road and make the short 2 hour trip back up to Darwin. We decided to ditch the van and fly over the Bali for a week. Darwin to Bali was just over 2 hours flying time and to leave the van at the caravan park was only $10 a night which was a absolute bargain. Apart from chilling by the pool and sinking bintangs I was keen to check out this awesome 
joint in Bali and that was called Gimme Pies

had sagged a little in the middle, but apart from that you would be very happy with the fill in this 9.5/103. Flavour – The flavour was stunning !!! A whole shredded chicken, Bali spices including – chilli, garlic, turmeric, shallots, candle nut, salt and pepper. Every bite was beautiful and you could clearly taste every ingredient. The flavor had a little bit of kick to it, nothing major but it certainly added to the overall flavor. Loved it 9.5/10
4. Pastry – A combination of short crust on the bottom and a rough puff on the top. The pasty flavour was beautiful and had a real buttery taste to it. The top and bottom pastry were baked perfectly. Only negative was the stability was a little shakey, but the still held firm right to the last bite. Overall very good 8/10

Although we didn’t do much it was great just to chill out by the pool, sinks a few tins and search for some cracking little local restaurants. As soon as we get back to Darwin we will start punching back to the Sunshine Coast and start planning the next tour.
