Fried Crispy Fish with Green Mango & Coconut Salad
This salad will blow you away with its taste bud-awakening flavours and variety of textures with green mango, coconut and our Malaysian Chilli Sambal. The texture of the green mango is crisp and crunchy, and the flavour is sweet but sour, a little like a green apple. It's just amazing when shredded and prepared in a salad like this.
