In Balikpapan there is few good restaurants, well this is one of them.. my first choice seafood restaurants after Dandito, they served many seafoods but i recommend the crabs, because they specialized in this menu..

Price is expensive and no credit card is accepted here so you need to prepare cash money, food stocks is very limited so you have to booked before you come there..... Crab in black pepper sauce is very recommended

Your visit to Balikpapan (or East Kalimantan) is not complete if you never eat the crab of Kepiting Kenari. Delicious! Our favorite is Black Pepper Sauce. They take the order for box package for traveling with plane too.
