Here the fish and squid are sold by weight or portion and flame-grilled to perfection with a sweet, spicy sambal sauce. The selection includes shoals of different fish and squid, with a supporting cast of kangkung (water spinach) and aubergine dishes. Grab a spot at the shared tables and tuck in for a quintessential Padang experience.
