This is our Chili Sambal Stingray. That’s right. It’s a stingray. And its unbelieveable. Grilled, perfectly charred and then baked in an aromatic banana leaf bowl and complimented by a spicy flavorful chili sambal and a grilled half-lime, it will be something you must ask for.
So come in, try the stingray, vibe to some A Tribe Called Quest and bask in the goodness.
