Soto Makasar Sabah


This soto Makasar is based on the soto found in Celebes(Sulawesi) but
my colleague cannot find it at Ujung Pandang, the capital ofSulawesi,which means that this soto or soup, is unique to Sabah.
You can find it at a chinese coffee shop next to Restaurant Melaka, atKampung Air, Kota Kinabalu.
At Kota Kinabalu, they give you the option of beef, chicken and cow'sstomach lining. This soto uses ground nut and rice water,which you canmix with noodles or compacted rice(nasi impit). This is the daughter'shawker stall.
The original recipe for this is from Sandakan resident who wasformerly from Java island, not Sulawesi. There, they give you moreoptions, which include more internal organs. Somehow it tastes betterat Sandakan than at Kota Kinabalu.
There are other places offering soto Makasar at Kota Kinabalu but theydon't taste as close to the original as this particular stall.
