From the mud pool, we drove north to Lautoka, Fiji's second largest town. En route, we stopped at Ramlu's, a local curry house colocated with a gas station, for a satisfying fish curry which cost FJD8. When I consumed his wife's chapati that morning, Sam assessed that I could handle local cuisine and that he didn't need to bring me to dine at tourist restaurants, so he felt comfortable taking me to this spot.
