TIPS

No restaurant in this location. You have to go to Dampier or bring along food supplies from Waisai or Sorong. Some diving organizers also provide catering.

It is very difficult to find exotic food from Papua, unless you are familiar with the traditional way of cooking as practiced by Papuans. They place their sago, sweet potatoes and meat on burning stones, and let it cook under a bunch of leaves covering the stone pit. An hour later, you are set to enjoy a most interesting meal with the locals.

Matoa fruit is also said to be special as a delicacy in Papua. It tastes sweet and has the aroma of a rose as you crack it open.

Raja Ampat is very close to the Moluccas, and it is not strange for the cuisine from the Moluccas to be the daily fare. Do try Ikan Bumbu Kunig (yellow fish curry) or Ikan Asar Bumbu Colo-colo. Papeda is the most well known staple food in Papua and the Moluccas, made of sago flour.
