This Timorese NGO promotes environmental best practice in communities across the country and its office here does an authentic and healthy weekday lunch buffet under an awning with prowling felines eyeing up your leftovers. It's no-frills but good value. The vegetarian dishes are the best. Show them the plate once you've filled it, and they'll mentally weigh it to charge you at the end.
