About Us
Gumbu Gumbu bugang bulmba means eating place in the Yidan language. This cafe is the creation of Keith & Felicity who have spent more than 40 years using locally sourced indigenous ingredients to give a unique eating experience for those looking for a culinary adventure.
When I’m not cooking I get agitated, I have the need to cook, I was born to cook. So yes, this is a passion of ours and we just want to see visitors have a tasty experience of a menu that now has these locally sourced and native rare and exotic ingredients, that cannot be experienced anywhere else but here in the tropics.
