You can choose the fresh fish/prawn/crab/squid then tell the cook how you want it cooked. Mirror rock cave is a bit far off. Ancient coral that forms giant cave, with feature a crevice that during midday will allow a thin sunrays into the cave creating an illusion of a mirror. And a coral that shaped like Mary (called Bunda Maria). Restaurants, mostly operated and owned by foreigners. Some resto have view to the sea and sunset. Exotic shop is the souvenir shop in the city in front of the airport. Amelia hills, round mounds like teletubbies hills. Amazing sunset view. Resorts, Atlantis On The Rock is scenic. Flores traditional clothings and real pearls.
