Trip Report Bonaire Trip Report, December 2019

[nippurmagnum]

M Our best meal of the trip was at Salatiga, which is the Indonesian restaurant underneath Osaka Sushi. We shared an Indonesian and Thai platter, and had a ridiculous amount of food that was over the top delicious. If you are an adventurous eater then I'd consider it a must try.

Thanks for a great report. My wife and I are returning to Bonaire in a couple of weeks, for a third trip. We have AWESOME memories of Salatiga, my mouth waters just thinking about the rijstaffel. I have become pretty much vegetarian since my last trip to Bonaire, but I will definitely make an exception for Salatiga.

How close to shore were the dolphins that you saw?

Thanks W/C for sharing both your thoughts and pictures. Sand Dollar is on our bucket list for a 2020 Bonaire Trip. Best diving island in the Caribbean that I've been to thus far. Disclosure: haven't been to Grand Cayman just yet. Waiting for a lottery win.

As someone who will be on the island in 10 days, I really appreciate your detailed report and great photos!

Have fun! I will also be there 10 days from now and staying for 2 weeks. I see you are from SLO. I am there frequently-- it is a paradise in its own right.

I recall my wife and I eating at the sushi place upstairs and looking down from the balcony to see what people in the Indonesian restaurant below were eating. When we saw rijstaffel we wished we had chosen that place instead. We gave the sushi place a try because we had read a trip report here that said they sometimes use local fish, but they did not have much local fish and it was all fairly poor sushi. Next time, Salatiga.

Awesome trip report. Got me reconsidering Sand Dollar for my next trip!.

Wow, never heard of Salatiga- it sounds great! We are big fans of Bobbejan's ribs. Leaving in less than 2 weeks for 2 weeks.
