25th OCTOBER 2019 ~ Right after leaving the airport, the first pit stop was Rumah Makan [restaurant] Timpo Duluk for lunch. The first item we saw was a large and tilted fishing boat before we had to climb up the stairs to get to the main building.
This should be a popular eating place on the island. There were two huge traditional houses welcoming us. We were amazed with interior decoration of the restaurant as it was like a mini gallery exhibiting some items we used to have during our childhood - including vintage cars and a scooter.
While waiting for the food to be served, I ventured out of the building and found big cages housing squirrels and birds.
We were very happy with what we saw, obviously. We were easily entertained by almost everything.
The food cover adorned with crochet knitting instantly impressed us even before the content of the tray was revealed to the hungry tourists.
The food was good and one of the traditional dishes we had was Sup Gangan - fish cooked in gravy with pineapple.

There was a souvenir shop at the restaurant which was an indicator this place was frequently visited by tourists. So the shopping activities started real early (for the ladies).
As for bored children, there was a playground for them to run around freely, climb up and jump down.
I have a feeling that the food here is slightly pricey but who would complain when everything is good. We spent quite some time at this place before leaving for our first real attraction.
