\"SURFINGThe island is surrounded by coconut trees. It is no surprise that the locals incorporate coconut milk in most of their cookings. <\/strong>But that\u2019s what makes these foods so special and are not quite like the ones you taste in anywhere else!<\/p>\n

As you go surfing in Nias island<\/strong>, here are the must-try dishes and beverage! Jot them down because these delicious phrases might not be easy to memorize.<\/p>\n

Harinake<\/strong><\/h2>\n

The distillation takes about 6 hours to complete with low heat \u2013 creating steam during the condensation process.
