Portion: big

Short review: This restaurant has many branch already. You can find it in Jakarta, Surabaya and other city in Indonesia. Yet, if you visit Makassar some day, you might want to tried the taste from the original branch. One of the best grilled ribs in town! they only serve two menu of dish, grilled ribs (konro bakar) and soup konro. My favorite is their Grilled ribs, highly recommended if you aren’t allergic to hot peanut sauce. It’s served along with aromatic soup rich with spices and herbs. The place is pleasant and pretty spacious, although it needs some hygiene control.The peanut sauce taste is a more spicy and taste awesome, the ribs are very tender and fresh.

2. Mie Titi

Portion: big ( and it’s bigger if you take away, able to share with 2 people)

Short review: This restaurant has many branch already (about 3 branches just in Makassar). You can find it in Jakarta as well. Their popular menu is their noodle, it’s kinda similar with ifu mie (Chinese dish), but the crunchy noodle is smaller. The owner is a chinese descend so it was not a surprise. If you like crunchy noodle dropped with thick soup, abundant veggies and meat with a little taste of egg, this dish is for you. The service can be bad when the restaurant is busy, but they often serve the food pretty fast here.

Price: per JAN 2016, ± IDR 35.000-40.000,-

Portion: big

Short review: This restaurant has opened since 1980s, their recipe has been inherited from older generation. Susilo Bambang (SBY), a former president of Indonesia, like to eat this yellow rice.
