Hi Adam,

I’ve been watching your YouTube channel Sanur Diaries since I moved here nearly 4 years ago and have always appreciated the insight you share.

I just watched your recent video “a viewer accused me of faking reviews” and noticed your comments about Titi’s Bar around the 6:35 mark.

I just wanted to clarify that Titi’s Bar isn’t what was suggested in that segment. The name is often misunderstood — “Titi” is actually my partner’s name, and she’s been running the bar for 12 years (probably the longest serving landlady in Sanur)
The sign has been there since 2014, but over the past 3–4 years we’ve worked hard to change the image associated with the name of the bar even going to the extent of renaming it Titi’s Kitchen & Sports Bar (sign to be updated soon) to take away the stigma amongst westerners in general of a bar called Titties bar.

We’re very much a family-friendly venue. Every Friday we run a fish & chips night (5–9pm) which is hugely popular amongst expats and tourists that regularly sees 50+ covers, with plenty of families and kids coming in. We also serve a full expat menu through Expat Eats Bali — all homemade by Titi and her family — we even deliver these meals to places like Bali Palms Resort (Candidasa) and Tulamben Dive Resort.

We also show live sports daily and will be opening early for the upcoming World Cup with breakfast (bacon & egg rolls, coffee, tea), which again brings in a lot of families.

So when it’s described as “not really family-friendly” or “not the sort of place you’d bring your kids,” it doesn’t reflect what the bar actually is today. Comments like that can have a real impact on a small business that’s worked hard to move away from outdated assumptions tied to the name.

You’re more than welcome to come down, meet Titi, and see it for yourself — we’d love you to try the fish & chips and form an opinion based on the actual experience.

Feel free to reach out via Titi’s Kitchen & Sports Bar Facebook page if you’d like to chat directly.

Hope to see you in soon 👍

Mate haters will hate just keep doing what you do we love it.

Not once since following this channel have I ever thought you're selling out. Although my time in Sanur is coming to an end, this channel has been a lifeline  during my stay here. Loved when you walked past Betty Bake was the first coffee shop I visited as we stayed just opposite

Nice stroll down to Mertasari Beach. Cant believe some idiot is making assumption that you were being comped. Just keep doing your thing brother. Best non-Indo youtuber in Bali. All power to you Adam. Terima kasi. Coight inbound 18 June

I can certify that a lot of the places he has recommended as very good are just that as I have been watching for well over a year and just came back from 18 days in Sanur where I visited a dozen+ of his recommendations.

You always look for positives Adam and that's a priceless and rare attribute online.

Your reviews are excellent and you always acknowledge that people have different tastes when it comes to food, accommodation, travel, and lifestyle.

Keep up the good work  
👍

I just found your channel and I'm binge-watching your videos. I've never even been to Bali and have zero interest in moving there but I love hearing people's stories of living their dream and thinking outside the box. Keep up the great content. 😎 🇦🇺

Some friends who posts lots of videos on the Tube told me that when they reached a certain number of subscribers and lots of views some idiot will inevitably insinuate things, it seems they've nothing better to do... you shouldn't worry too much, looking at all the good comments you get for these useful topics you tell the community about. In fact, I find your channel very informative, full of first hand experience, keep the good work !

///  IGNORE THE NEGATIVE TROLLS... who are so totally miserable that they exist to attack innocent people.

Hi Adam,  my wife and I did the same walk yesterday morning, tide coming in, with thought  Muntig Siokan took you to the kids playground on the other side. We were just to the right of the old JetSki rental place when a couple of dogs started coming towards us in an aggressive manner. One of the locals who has a daughter studying in Perth quickly put a stop to that. We were grateful and sat down with his group and talked for an hour. Then out to the point, along the sandbags aground to Mertasari carpark and started the beach footpath walk towards Pantai Sidhu, great walk, great meeting locals and it’s all thanks to you giving us a snapshot before we arrived. Mate, there are haters everywhere because it’s easier to try to pull people down than get off your arse and go do it yourself. Based on your recommendation we are loving Kamboja Homestay, Gardenia, Happy and Baby Monkeys, just to name a few. Keep well,
Cheers
George

Definitely don't listen to haters mate.  You do a great job and it is appreciated 👏  I love how respectful you are to the Balinese and how you show a lot of the smaller businesses that could use a boost.

Keep up the awesome work. I am a new subscriber and totally enjoy watching and learning about Bali from your videos. We are heading to Bali in a month. First time overseas. Will keep an eye out for you.

Hi Adam,
Another great review—don’t worry about the small stuff. There will always be people who criticize others. Keep up the excellent work, and please continue making videos, even though I know they take time to edit.
I also read the response from the owner of Titi’s Bar. While you mentioned what kind of place it might have seemed like, I probably wouldn’t have gone there based on the name alone. That’s exactly why videos like yours are so valuable. It was great to see the owner respond so positively and clarify things.
My wife and I will be visiting Bali for the first time in 30 years from 19 May 2026, and we’ll definitely be stopping by Titi’s Bar!
This is a perfect example of how your content educates viewers and helps people discover local places with a better understanding.
Once again, keep up the great work.
Mark

I thought Icon seemed to have many Indo tourists. 😊 Great to have you back. Cant wait to be back there ❤

Always interesting and educational

I agree with the title and you make it so interesting.  Thank you as always Adam. 🙏
Dr Juni - great to see that hat again 👍🏼

Love the kites, last year I saw about 20 guys launching a large kite , they had so much fun.

Great video, once again Adam.Don't worry about the "haters" I for one know you never,ever expect "freebies" .I also can testify how much you have promoted local businesses......and not ones just in the tourist areas.Your videos do really help visitors and expats navigate ,not just Bali but also the whole Indonesian experience.You are a vey hard working Youtuber putting out a LOT of content.I also know how good your editing skills are.I would not have the patience to do it.
As for "Sanur is the best place in the world"? hey............"Once you go Sanur, all the other places lose their allure"😂

One thing I used to do to help with editing is lift my arm in air when I need to cut that part. Makes it easy to visually know which bits to splice and cut.
Otherwise, great videos! Love to watch them every day!

Love your channel, keep it up. Great info, great help for us tourists. Will be back next week.. 👍🏽👍🏽
