Trivia
[Difference] Unlike Chinese sweet/sour fish, the sauce is purely 'Fish sauce & Sugar'. Heated fish sauce loses its odor and emits a supreme caramel aroma.
Eating tips & etiquette
Eaten with the accompanying 'sour green mango salad'. The sweet-salty crispy fish and tart, crunchy mango create world-class harmony.
