Steamed Ginger Fish @ Dili Beach Hotel


This would have to be one of the healthiest options at the predominantly pizza- and burger-focussed Dili Beach Hotel.  The tom yum soup is another good option, as is the garden salad, if you’re happy to eat like a bird.

This dish, with its crunchy, shredded veggies (carrot, ginger, spring onions) atop a portion of steamed white fish bathing in a gingery, peppery broth was a saviour for me during a four-week stay in Dili earlier in the year when every meal I consumed was from a hotel or restaurant.  I could very well have come down with scurvy if it wasn’t for this burst of nourishment.  The white rice it is served with adds substance to the spoonfuls of the broth that you slurp up at the end.

Cleansing.
