One fine day, me and two colleagues decided to try out a well known (to Sudanese of course) restaurant famous for its fresh fish.It's right on the other side of the capital city, in Omdurman. About twenty minutes drive from the city centre.
While crossing the river, we could see the land below the bridge very fertile as it has the Nile River besides it.
Nobody's there as Sudanese people would have been there much earlier. As we were there for lunch, it doesn't clash with the local lunch time which is usually around 3pm.
Nothing spectacular of the surrounding area. Lots of desert sand.
This man took the fishes and dipped into their self blended sauce / gravy.The fishes were snapped from the nearby Nile River.
Can be rest assured that the fishes in the Nile River is very different from those found in Klang River near my Kuala Lumpur home.
Thereafter, it was thrown into the basin full of flour just before it was.
Deep concentration on the discussion about the meeting that was held just before we adjourned to this restaurant.
The piranhas that we have ordered.It looks like one but we don't know what kind of fish was that. We just swallow it. It ends up the same thing for whatever kind of fish we eat .... hehe
My colleague ordered ten fishes and surprisingly we finished all of them.Together with three big pieces of bread and three bottles of mineral water, it cost us 33 Sudanese Dinar (US$16.50).

wow you had a lot of fish.
with all those sand, i think you could create a sandman :)
So it's just fish, fish and nothing but fish? I prefer to eat steamed fish - these are fried, right? When it's fried, you can't make out what kind of fish you are eating.
So it's not really piranhas? Haha! I thought piranhas supposed to eat you, not the other way round : )
tikno - it only resembles a piranha fish. never tried piranha before but wondering whether it can be eaten or not.
