They serve a fabulous fried fish with a blow-your-head-off thick gravy garnished with fried basil leaves. You must visit this place should you be in that part of the world. But it's not easy to find on your own because it's hidden next to a small river. Can give you directions if you're interested.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37209246.post-41314401711587510252007-04-13T21:34:00.000+08:002007-04-13T21:34:00.000+08:00tigerfish: It was my first time eating it.
