Timorese food. Nom nom!

Timorese food is a marvellous melding of southeast Asian and Portuguese flavours. So delicious! The country also has some fantastic fresh fruit and vegetables. I've come home inspired and eager to try cooking many of the dishes we tried. The delights included ...

Fresh coconut (with bamboo straw!) at the Australian Ambassador's residence

More local goodies at the Ambassador's dinner party

A wonderful vego lunch spread at the Alola Foundation

Plantain, sweet potato, cassava, tomatoes, chillies and

hot, sweet black coffee at Belola School

Mee goreng and pizza at Black Rock Restaurant

(Ahem) weird combinations from the breakfast bar at Novo Turismo Hotel, Dili

Fabulous flavours at Agora Food Studio

Delicious dinners at Kirsty's home

Fried breadfruit! 

... and banana juice. Really ;-)

Next post ... the wrap.
