There are two seafood BBQ restaurants on the outskirts of Tekek on Tioman Island.
We have been there twice and both times one was crowded and the other empty.
There appears to be no real difference between the two.
Normally it would come down to reputation and repeat business. However in this instance the patrons are predominately tourists and are only on Tioman for a few days at a time.
I put it down to symbolism.
The guy hovering over the hot coals, at the popular spot, has a hat and it’s a very symbolic hat.
