We stopped by here cause this is one of the typical food in Balikpapan, named Soto Banjar.The price.arround IDR 30 K The taste is fresh but the portion is a little bit small

5. RM Selat Makasar Colonial, Batakan

From outside the building is quite interesting. It has a unique design with a touch of vintage. Very impressive. When we were entering the restaurant, we can saw some fresh fish (left side) and great wall looks like a photo booth  (right side). As you can see from the pictures, the interior is great and also the food.

9. Resto Apong Gunung Bakaran

Before we headed to the airport, we got lunch here. The food is great. What amazed me was the size of chicken satay, check the photos bellow


10.Bandara Sultan Aji Muhammad Sulaiman

Balikpapan has a big, beautiful, and clean airport. It seems to be renovated recently. When I sat waiting, I was approached by the officer. They asked me politely to answer survey about the airport, it turns out that they were having evaluation because Bandara Sultan Aji Muhammad Sulaiman was competiting to be in the best category of the world.

Have we had enough impact so far?
