We visited this place several times, firstly on the recommendation of our friend, then because of the growing fond of this place on the heart of one of us. One of the old shop in Makassar, they specialized on traditional snacks and ice cream, but they also offered home-styled menu here. We ordered gado-gado komplit (29 K), nasi kuning (53 K), ice tea (12 K), sarabba (22 K), egg tart (10.5 K), kroket (9 K), lemper ayam (8 K), and onde wijen (7 K) excl. taxes.

Imagine es cendol with one extra topping that you hardly see anywhere. It's banana wrapped in this green dough (not sure why) but it works! Food - 7 Service - 7 Vibe -...
