(This venue is closed.) Kingfish, at the fore, was the buttress for my tiepu djen ($10). Ringed by vegetables including cabbage, carrot, and cassava and crowned with a dollop of cassava leaf sauce, this rendition of Senegal's national dish was unusually composed. (Oddly spelled, too. The restaurant's owner, do note, comes from Senegal's southern neighbor Guinea.) Though the rice was very good and my plate, soon bare, I prefer more abandon in the presentation.
