Sulawesi Cuisine at Mt Austin Johor Bahru
1/2/17
Sulawesi Cuisine attracted my attention awhile back hoping one day to try it out. Well blessings comes when timing is right. Last Wednesday was the day. Somehow God just orchestrates our appointments and timings so well. This restaurant on that day happened to be just next to the confinement centre that my friend's wife and newborn daughter was staying at.
Actually we already had our dinner before going to the new born baby so thought this was not the time. But that restaurant was emitting tasty aromas. We went to the confinement centre with another friend. Saw the baby and pronounce a blessing over the family and we left. After leaving, this other friend Calvin asked if want to go makan, well why not. As we were walking, we ask him where to go, he said there..Sulawesi Cuisine.OH yeah ha !
What did we order ?
Dish #1 Was the Ayam Goreng. This was succulent, juicy and crunchy. Reminded me of the fried chicken we get when we eat Ayam Penyet. Delicious.
Dish #2 was the grilled Ikan Pari. According to my friend, they "bakar" the ikan/fish using coconut husks instead of the usual charcoals. This gave the fish an attractive aroma and it looked so fresh. We were shocked at first when the dish arrived. Because it was huge but the plump flesh was causing me to jump for joy inside my heart. 
We also had a kangkong belacan as our veggie dish. All the dishes were indeed delicious and yummy.The stand-out dish for me was the grilled fish. We had a great time feasting and also sweating profusely as every dish came with an assortment of sambal condiments. Each sambal variation had a different taste and texture. I especially loved their sambal hijau with tiny ikan bilis.
I thoroughly enjoyed this dinner which also makes me want to go to Indonesia one day..especially Jakarta..dreaming of Soto Betawi.
