Warung Teras Tarakan — Restaurant in Tarakan

Great food! Ordered Crab, Snapper (Kakap), and Squid. The squid was goodly cooked, it was soft and easy to chew, something that isnt easy to achieve if you're not used to cooking it. The snapper was so so, but it wasnt "fishy" at all so it's also good.

The victor was the crabs, obviously, ordered with two sauce, black pepper and "kaltara" sauce. Well if you're used to eating crabs in Indonesia, it's somewhat like "padang" sauce, just different name. The kaltara sauce was delightful, I recommed you to order it. The crab was full-bodied so it was worth its rather pricy price.

The best seafood i ever eat!! Our guide in Derawan told us about this restaurant and also tell us that our president jokowi always eat there when he is visit Tarakan.

Udang goreng telur asin also pretty good. Buncis telur asin and sayur kangkung is the best! And the champion is es kopi goyang lidah with grass jelly, we drink this 2 and half glass per person...

The food is so tasty, I have to say they provide premium seafood with premium taste. We buy more than 10 types of food here and not even a single one found bad. But, the only thing that make me quiet unsatisfied is the service, I previously book an online order but they forget to put them on the booked list 🙃 Yapp, u know I have to reorder in place then wait for them serve the food one by one. Luckily they don't need a quiet long time to cook the food, just average bearable time. Despite of that, it is a must try food whenever you...
