The Special event is “Iki iki Bakngai” which is the food stall event held every weekend
Friday to Sunday and on public holidays.
There are so many kinds of seafood stalls that you’ll be spoiled for choice with Sushi, hearty
seafood bowls and seafood soup. We recommend having lunch of purchased sushi
