Lawyer falls in love with diving guide in Bali, opens Balinese food stall with him in Singapore

They say the way to a man’s heart is through his stomach. It works for women too, especially when the cook comes in the form of a bronzed diver who makes a killer sambal and grilled fish.

The first time Suka invited her home for dinner, he devised a makeshift grill in the courtyard of his family’s traditional Balinese home, using bricks and bamboo. There, he grilled her a small tuna fish which they shared with rice and heady sambal matah, an iconic Balinese-style sambal made with shallots, cili padi, coconut oil and lime.Sparks flew between the ex-diving guide and lawyer while the latter was holidaying in Bali.

Juliana, who works flexible hours as an international corporate lawyer, comes by the stall regularly to help him out. Compared to being a diving guide in Bali, Suka says being a hawker is equally tough. “When I worked in a diving centre, it also required long hours and hard work. Sometimes, I work all month without rest. As a hawker, I work hard but this is my own business,” said Suka.

Each set is served with a stick of satay lilit, urap , half a hard-boiled egg cooked betutu-style, and a portion each of their sambal matah and sambal embe. Extra portions are charged at 50 cents; understandable, considering the high prices of shallots and chillies these days.MUJAIR NYAT NYAT ORIGINAL, S$14.90; FEEDS 2 PEOPLE
