Our kitchen serves guests with the freshest ingredients available, prepared with a fusion of Indonesian and international flavours. Barbequed seafood, local dishes and tropical fruits feature prominently on the menu as well as a variety of fresh vegetables, free-range chicken and eggs from our farm on Bintan.
Dining
The daily menus are put up on blackboards in the dining room and changes according to the seasonal availability of ingredients from local markets. The emphasis is on the freshest ingredients prepared simply. Barbequed seafood, local dishes and tropical fruits feature prominently on the menu.
The team in the kitchen is happy to tailor them according to any specific dietary requirements. We just ask that you let us know in advance. This also helps reduce food waste which is important given the neighbouring communities are less fortunate.

Cookbook
After years of guests requesting for recipes from the island, we decided to compile our favourites into a cookbook. Island Life: Recipes from Nikoi and Cempedak Islands was published at the end of 2023 and is available for purchase in various locations: online, on the island, in bookstores across Singapore and Indonesia, and as an eBook. The collection features our beloved recipes along with stories from our islands and beyond, and is currently in its second edition.
