What the creator captured
Mark Wiens was deeply impressed by the complex preparation of C'est Bon, particularly the technique of frying fish and then lighting it on fire to achieve a smoky char. He marveled at how the flavors of caramelized onions, hibiscus leaves, and dried seafood saturated the rice. His most memorable moment was sharing the massive communal feast under a tree, noting the incredible depth of flavor provided by the local locust beans and spicy chilies.
