Words and photography by Will Meyrick

Will Meyrick

With Scottish heritage,
an Australian accent
and an Indonesian home,
the ‘street food chef’
Will Meyrick isn’t easily
categorised. With five
buzzing restaurants
under his belt – Sarong,
Mama San and the hip
new Hujan Locale in Bali,
E&O in Jakarta, and the
recently opened Mama
San in Hong Kong –
and a lust for culinary
travel that keeps him
on the road much of the
time, what you have is
one busy gastro-maestro.
Will’s favourite go-to
dish at home? Indo Mie.

The famed pa’piong
burak manuk, a traditional
chicken dish.
Ikan pamarrasan soup,
a hearty and healthy Torajan
fish dish perfect for lunch.
Extremely hot katokkon
chillies are prevalent in the
traditional markets.
