We will be going to the Bali Hai in July and would like to know what is supplied in their kitchens. We plan to do a lot of cooking there to save some $$ hopefully! What is available regarding pots/pans - utensils - knives - is there a blender?? Wine opener? Can opener?
Cheese slicer?
Anything you suggest bringing?
Is there dish soap? Sponge?
Thanks so much. I really appreciate it.

Patti would be able to answer your question, but I think she's there right now. If she doesn't answer in a week, try again.

I actually took a photo of the "Unit Inventory Sheet" posted in bayview room # 1 at Club Bali Hai when we stayed there in 2006! (I knew it would come in handy for something someday!)
Here's what's provided in the rooms:
UTENSILS: 4 each: forks, dinner knives, teaspoons, tablespoons; 1 wooden spoon; 1 spatula; 1 large knife; 1 can opener; 1 cork screw; 4 steak knives.
GLASSWARE: 4 water glasses; 4 wine glasses; 1 large pitcher
DINNERWARE: 4 each: dinner plates, salad plates, cereal or soup bowls, coffee cups, saucers; 1 large salad bowl.
COOKWARE: 1 large saucepan, 1 medium saucepan, 1 small saucepan, 1 small skillet, 1 large skillet
KITCHEN APPLIANCES & FURNISHINGS: Microwave, Coffee machine, 2 tea towels, 1 dish scrubber, detergent, 1 waste bin
OTHER: Ice bucket, grater, cutting board, small broom & dustpan, 2 ashtrays, waste basket (bathroom), strainer, toilet brush.
(Additionally, there is a two-burner electric stove, but no oven, and a half-size refrigerator.)
.............
Housekeeping was pretty strict about checking this list, posted over the sink, and if you break something, you will be charged for it. (We broke a small drinking glass while there, and paid 600 CPF for it.)
No cheese grater, no blender. We did bring a small collapsible cooler for beer/sodas/juice (not enough room in the small frig), and filled it with ice from the machine in the lobby with no problem. Another thing we found helpful was bringing a small tablecloth (or a large cotton, not rayon, pareo would do) for the table on the patio, to prevent wetness from ice drinks condensating on it. Bring small plastic jars of spices if you are going to cook a lot -- especially garlic! -- because spices are expensive in FP!
I hope this helps!

Thanks for more cooking supply tips Barbara. I have a well-worn pareo to bring as a picnic cloth.
Hamara said that the shrimp farm on the road to the belvedere from Opunahu (sp?)Bay opens to the public on Wednesdays at 10 am to sell their shrimp in kilo bags. He said to de-head them, stick them in the fridge to chill and then de-shell and devein them. Someone also mentioned bringing bamboo skewers as they are hard to find (they are very light to pack and cheap here...great for grilling shrimp, fish, vegetables and pineapple chunks...we have a bbq available at 2 places. Are there bbq's at CBH?
Also am bringing a cutting board mat-like thingo. Hate them for use here at home but they pack easily and weigh nothing and are great for picnic use.

For great spices we use Penzey's.com as rhey sell their spices in 1/2 size jars. Spices are expensive like Barbi said and most times very stale.

What a great help! Thanks so much.
One more question...would a Foreman Grill (small one) be a good idea to bring? It's pretty light, but not sure about the voltage and using a converter with it.

IslandBreeze, I would leave the electric grill at home. Unless it says it's compatible with 110-240v electricity, you are going to need a voltage converter as well as plug adaptor, and all of that adds weight to your luggage, plus, you are more likely than not to blow a fuse in your bungalow! Most places will have a small BBQ or hibachi to loan you; I'm not sure whether CBH has one available? (Patti will be back from CBH within the next week and can answer more fully about what's at CBH!)

I can vouch for the Penzey's. They import and grid their own spices, and for some reason they're cheaper than the grocery store. MMMMmmm good- especially their blends. Sunny Paris would be excellent on those shrimp.
