The welcoming front yard of Puri Padi always attracts a second glance from passerby. After a tired walk around Jonker Street, one can be thrilled to see Puri Padi, mistakenly assume it as a spa because of the Balinese decoration.
Puri Padi (located next to Geographer Cafe at Jonker Street) is a Balinese accented home decor center cum clothing boutique. The display in the shop housed items ranging from cushions, household fittings, clothing, accessories, leather handbags, tapestries, wooden furniture, sculptures and other interior decoration items and handicrafts which are sourced from all over South East Asia.
Step into the shop and you will be transported to Ubud immediately. The serene and calm ambience separates the world in Puri Padi from the hustle and bustle human traffic outside. If you are looking for a specific decoration item for your Balinese themed house, this is the place to be. Or simply stroll along the towers of Buddha's head to find some interior design inspiration.
The prices are not as fair as what you can get in Bali, but it does make up to the shipping. It is reasonable to purchase one or two items. However, if you are remaking your entire house into a Balinese pad, it is still advisable for you to source them directly from Indonesia. Tips for those who are planning to buy two items or more, after the first purchase, you will be give a discount of RM10 for your next purchase. Don't pay the two items in a single transaction. Haggling of price is not available, unless you are getting a limited piece with huge price tag.
Note that no photography and food is allowed in the premise.
Operated in three pre-war homes, the owner have created a gem of sorts and credit must be given to him (or her) for preserving and conserving much of the original structures of the old dilapidated home. By saving such, visitors are able to see and appreciate the wooden framework and brick wall of the past era.
