The World's Most Delicious Pucung Cork Fish Recipe, you deserve to try it

Previously, we have served a menu of rendang dishes, one of the typical menus of the Padang region.

This time we will present a unique dish of processed fish that is widely available in Indonesia, but this cuisine menu is identical to one of the tribes living in the capital city of Indonesia, namely the Betawi tribe.
