For years now we cook about 1/2 the time we are on island. We get tired eating out every night so with my wife being Italian we do pasta a couple of times. It's very easy to make in a limited kitchen you get at most places. Pizza to go is another reasonable dinner with a salad from produce purchased at the market. Although I am not a big fan of pizza in the Orient area (because I live and work in an area with fantastic pies) I shut up because I'm on vacation. Another good alternative is to get a whole rotisserie chicken sold at the small store in the village but you have to get that early because they are gone by 4 pm. A few years ago I bought a cheep grill at the Ace but the meat sold on island is not that good so we don't do that anymore. Some nights a baguette and some good salami and cheese will do if we had a big lunch.
One of our must haves wherever we stay is a table setup on the balcony. Nothing better than breakfast or dinner with a nice tropical breeze
