| A nod to my beautiful Gili Air friends who own the tiny little restaurant by the side of a dusty track in the little village in the middle of the island. Sabar and his wife have made their own cooking implements according to their needs, inventing a hot plate specifically for their veggie pancake wraps, and experimenting until they had the perfect (secret) veggie mix to stuff inside. They have also built a mobile model for taking down to the coconut palm lined field for the regular island football matches. They have a funky little shack decorated with shells, coral and colorful paint and drawings where you can pull up a stool at any time of the day or night for a quick snack or a yarn into the early hours while watching the shooting stars over Lombok. Sweet and delicious memories. I hope I see you both again soon! |
