The first, Coto Kuah Hitam Makassar, this type of Coto is commonly found being sold outside the Makassar area and is most often in demand because of its spicy taste that makes the tongue wag. You can try this type of black sauce in several famous places in Makassar, such as Coto Nusantara and Coto Gagak.

Grilled konro, is served with an abundance of peanut sauce with a crisp smoky aroma on the outside and soft meat on the inside. As for processed Konro Soup, it has a softer texture than beef ribs. This dish is the most suitable to accompany your dinner in Makassar City.
Makassar City Mandatory Snacks at the Muda Mudi Restaurant
Okay, after having a heavy meal in Makassar City, it's time to enjoy a snack at one of the typical Makassar snack basecamp restaurants, namely the Muda Mudi Restaurant in Makassar City.
It is mandatory to order Jalangkote here, even though they are often said to be similar to pastels. Jalangkote is different from pastels because it has a thinner and slightly sweeter skin texture than pastels. For the filling for jalangkote, there are various kinds of chicken, beef, goat, fish, and even horse meat. To enjoy jalangkote, we need a sauce to go with the spicy and sour taste.
It's incomplete to eat a snack without enjoying the freshness of Pisang Ijo Ice or Palu Butung Ice which will add to the completeness of your vacation in Makassar City.
