Speaking of food: Once a week during the high season (November to March) the resort puts on Kampong Sucimurni (which translates to "lifestyle experience"). It takes place on the lawn, and includes traditional games like
congkak (a board game),
batu seremban (a
traditional children’s game played with five stones) and
sepak takraw (like hacky-sack). There's also
martial arts,
music, and
food stalls with local culinary
delights like lemang (rice mixed with coconut milk), serunding (coconut fried with chilis), kopi kampong (coffee with condensed milk) and these dishes (sorry, I don’t know the local names):
fried plantains,
peanut pancakes and
porridge with seafood. It’s all free, and takes place from 3:30 to 5 p.m.
I sampled everything, so when dinner rolled around a few hours later I was not hungry. But how do you say no to foods you can’t get anywhere and taste so good?! There was even a not-so-friendly
monkey plucking coconuts from the palm trees.
