            Paga is not only well known for its beach but also for Wogi. Do you know what Wogi is? Is it familiar to you? Wogi is special fish that you can only find in Paga because this kind of fish only appears in coast of Paga. It is made of small red fish that mixed with chili, garlic, onion, lime and basil leaves.

            If you have planned to Maumere on Christmas holiday, I suggest you to add your destination to Paga. In addition to exploring the beach, you can try to eat Wogi. The red fish for Wogi only appears in December every year. So you can enjoy Wogi just one time a year. And you just spend your money only Rp. 10.000 to have a bottle of Mberse, another name for Wogi.

            As information, Wogi is not cooked; it is just mixed with vinegar. It is so delicious when you eat it with cassava, banana or sweet potato. Wogi can be keep for a week or more if you put it in a refrigerator.
