eddyv 08:15 UTC 14 Jan 2009 | there's not a massive variety but you certainly won't starve! I met a vegetarian tourist when I was there and they had no trouble finding suitable food | 1

If you want to eat the local cooked food, "Lap Lap and Tuluk" they all have meat in them. They are basically tarot with coconut, meat and spinach in the centre. You can also tell the locals in pigeon that you can't eat meat --"Mi no save kai kai meat!" The local pubs and restaurants won't have problems understanding English. Happy holidays in paradise! | 2
