RTA,
Sounds as if you have done the hard yards. I hope you finally got to where you wanted to be in the first place.
I can think I can agree on $7 per course, but fishheads indicate you have a cast iron stomach or drink too much! Starvation can do strange things to a man?
I think for such a meal a few sticks of satay and a cool tiger would be recommended for the more squeamish of us who had the good fortune to enjoy expat terms in Asia.
Let those who follow benefit from your knowledge and experience rather than having to relive the misery!
