While Jesse surfed the famous Bali beach breaks in a late afternoon. I strolled around the beach where I crossed paths of sun worshippers’ and female hawkers selling exotic snacks out of straw baskets. The women were friendly and welcomed snap shots of their food. Fish rubbed with spicy sambal, along with a small fried fish and roti bread.


A mix veggies salad of sliced bitter melon, green beans, fried shallots and mashed avocados.

Sun worshippers on Seminyak beach.



did you ask for recipes?
Hello, the veggies in the salad were flash blanched, shallots sliced then deep fried til golden. Mash the avocados then mix in the veggies and shallots, and season with salt.
For the fried fish and roti bread. I do not have the recipe for the bread, but the fish was deep fried til dry crispy. The sambal is a chili based sauce. There are many varieties of sambal in Indonesia, but it is typically made of fresh chilies, garlic, shallots, lemongrass, shrimp paste and lemon juice.
Great pictures! Love the one of the “sun worshippers.”
Thank you!
