Coto HB’eNG — Restaurant in Sorong

I asked the staff if the coto came with rice. She said it came with with ketupat. So I ordered coto. The portion was pathetically small.. as if they are feeding a dog. And the taste was bland. I didn't finish the ketupat coz I ran out the bland coto. So I ordered cah kangkung. It was also tasteless as well and too much oil. C'mon.. this is Indonesian culinary, not some tasteless European food. But why's it tasteless. I ate coto before, cooked by my colleague's mother. And it was really good, not tasteless like this. Even a Mace's cooking in the corner of Raja Ampat tasted better! When paying in the cashier, it turned out that the ketupats were not included in the price despite the fact that it came together with the coto....

The food is basically a 3/5 for its signature “coto” (a kind of thickened soup with grilled-spiced coconut milk), the fish dishes are 4/5 and the side dishes like grilled meat a 3/5. This restaurant is a must visit when coming to Sorong, serving south-Celebes style dishes, specifically a local soup called “coto” and a sauted style broth...

Not sure if it is because I have been eating in Raja Ampat for the last 22 days but the meal was really good. I order 2 of their signature dishes, konro bakar and coto makassar. Both were delicious but I especially like the peanut sauce of the beef rib and think it is one of the best I have ever tasted. Highly...
