“ Well this is one of the classic and iconic Makassar resto in the city. Located right in the heart of business area, easy to reach and close to downtown area. Food itself are top notch. Try Ayam Panggang RM Ujung Pandang, that's the grilled chicken with their secret recipe which is the menu you have to order during your visit. Nasi Goreng Ujung Pandang, fried rice with tomato sauce really really nice, amazing how they fried it dry, so nothing to worry about the oil and cholesterol level ;) I actually have stop eating rice, but facing this menu... well, this is something I cant avoid to taste :ppppp Chicken satay also in my order list, see how thick and fat the chicken cutlet, thread onto skewers and grilled over a gentle heat. Your tongue will dancing over these menus. Well that's my term of how you enjoy these amazing foods ;))) ”

“ I am not too impressed with the place a bit run down need badly to be upgraded. It is always nice to see a neat proper clean building. A new paint and a bit of decoration will help modernize the look..the food is OK ate hainan chicken but the meat is a bit hard and overall just OK for me.... I hope they pay attention to details but they have karaoke upstairs ..cute.. ”
