Kantin
Kantin is the Indonesian word for canteen and it's reflective of the small, casual diner that Kantin is.
What sets Kantin apart from other, similar Indonesian restaurants in town, is its focus on the Minahasan/Manadonese cuisine of North Sulawesi. Manadonese food is known for its generous use of rich spices, spicy condiments, a wide variety of proteins, and European-influenced baked treats.
Signature dishes at Kantin include bakmi ayam rica (Manadonese spicy chicken, fried wontons, and bok choy, on a bowl of noodles), nasi iga sapi panggang (sticky, caramelised grilled beef ribs on rice with sambal manis pedas), and udang woku santan (prawns in Manadnoese spices with coconut gravy).
Or try the nasi kuning Manado for more of a mixed plate. It's fragrant toasted coconut and turmeric rice served with a hard boiled egg, spicy caramelised anchovies and peanuts, garlic crackers, cucumber, sambal terasi, and your choice of protein.
