RM. Apong — Restaurant in Makassar

Most famous Chinese Seafood restaurant in Makassar. They have cooler box placed at the entrance for you to choose your seafood, (fish, crab or lobster). The frozen fish & lobster however doesn't smell fresh (fishy) to those familiar in eating live/fresh fish; the crab is fresh though as it's live. There is a few long tables here to cope with groups that usually come here rather than a few people or individual. The coconut here is huge. The Otak-Otak is different than those of Malaysia (fish paste with spices making it tasty), here is like Fish Paste made like Fish Ball texture made in long strips and you have to eat it with their lime spiced sauce (that is on the table that gives flavour) to get the full flavour. The Black Ink Squid dish is good as its fragrant. The big crabs are meaty and tasty, highly recommended. The Brinjal & Cockle dish are average. The Salted Egg Long Bean dish is below average. The Box Fish (Kudu-Kudu fish) is tasty & recommended as its only available in Makassar however do not order the Grill version as the meat will be dry & chewy; get the fried version to enjoy the...

When in Makassar, we cannot miss their seafood! One of the recommended seafood restaurant in Makassar that serves fresh and delicious seafood is Rumah Makan Seafood Apong. This is a Chinese food restaurant with seafood as their speciality. At their branch in Diponegoro Street, they provide private room on the second floor. During the COVID-19 pandemic, they give the "X" sign in some chairs, so that people cannot sit next to each other.

They provide variant of seafood dishes, from the mussel, fish, shrimp, crab, squid, also non seafood menu, such as satay and vegetables. Eating this seafood is suitable for sharing. And the best way is definitely eating them with rice 😃

My recommendation menu : Kepiting Saus Padang Ikan Kudu-Kudu Fillet (the appearance of the fish face may look scary, but believe me that the taste of the boneless fried fish along with the soft texture are so good! This is Makassar speciality...

This is where I want to be to explore the famous seafood of Makassar. Visitors, you have to visit this place. Among all other seafood resto, I -with no doubt recommend Apong. Open your culinary experince with Ota Ota, the famous grilled fish cake with special petis sauce.

You may be offered several weird fish name such as Papakulu, Titang, Baronang, not to mention Crabs with several spices : black pepper, oyster sauce, etc. Dont forget to order Kangkung Hotplate, it is Kale cooked in hot plate topped with squid, quail's egg, shrimp with very delicious condensed soup. I'm running out of time if I continue my explanation about this place. My only advice, just pack your things and go to Makassar and please stop by at Apong either lunch or dinner time. You...
