At Nikoi and Cempedak Islands, our food and beverage philosophy is simple. Wining and dining with us should be like a dinner party with friends. We want guests to enjoy our favourite local dishes, and to hear the stories behind them. This book is an embodiment of this; a collection of our most loved recipes, nestled among stories from our two islands and beyond. We hope they become a catalyst for creating cherished memories around your table, just as they have around ours.
