A Near Eastern soup, brimming with shallows cod simmered in silky coconut milk.

As usual, I always give you alternate cheap food for your BiS if you are doing a lower level raid or not the latest content. Yep, this is the alternative for that! Coconut Cod Chowder is a cheap food on the Market Board; I would buy it rather than make it myself. It is so cheap and the best food you can get for Machinist if you are doing a lower level content!
