Five dishes to try at our table

Surfing makes you hungry. Here are five dishes our guests ask for again and again.

1. Ikan bakar: grilled fish

Fish from the boats in front of the homestay, grilled over coconut husks and served with rice, sambal and lime. Ask Martha what came in today.

2. Nasi goreng

Fried rice with a fried egg on top and prawn crackers on the side. Breakfast of champions before a dawn session.

3. Soups and stews

Spiced chicken soup (soto) and rich curries for rainy evenings, with plenty of rice.

4. Tofu, tempe and sambal

Crispy tofu and tempe with a spoon of fresh sambal: simple, cheap and addictive. Ask for mild if you are new to chilli.

5. Tropical fruit

Papaya, pineapple, bananas, and in season rambutan, mangosteen and salak. Best eaten in a hammock.
