What the creator captured
Mark Wiens was stunned by the gargantuan size of the premium river prawns, which he described as being the size of a human arm. He was particularly impressed by the unique signature dish of crab steamed with evaporated milk and the expert kitchen management of the owner, Kunoy. The highlight for him was witnessing the intense preparation of high-quality, massive seafood sourced from a deep family lineage in the industry.
