Скачать или смотреть $0.30 Meatballs at Makassar's Crazy Night Market 🇮🇩

I visited Makassar's Cidu Traditional Market and it was one of the craziest night markets I've been to.

It was actually less crowded than the Kodam night market in Surabaya, but the difference was that Cidu night market is on a street with heavy traffic from vehicles.

As you walk around Cidu market, it's not just other people that you need to watch out for. You have to be careful not the get run over by a car or motorbike.

I started my foodie adventure by trying some of the local meatballs. For 3 balls of Bakso Ayam it cost only 5,000 rupiah (just over $0.30).

The chicken meatballs had a very chewy texture, like it was half minced chicken and half tapioca or some ingredient like that. Covered in the special sauce, they were very tasty.

The local Makassar people were very friendly at this market. The girl who had a stall beside the meatball vendor offered me a free chocolate banana pancake. Yum yum!

I washed that down with a mango juice, but the vendor I bought it from may have upsold me. He had the mango juice priced with two options, 5,000 and 10,000. I guess that's for small or large.

He refused to sell me the 5,000 size and made me take the 10,000 one. I don't know what he was saying. Maybe that the small size wasn't available, but I don't know how that's possible. Couldn't he just make the same drink as the large size one but use half the ingredients?

The juice vendor made the drink with fresh mango, but as usual he added loads of condensed milk and syrup. I think all juice vendors in Indonesia do this as standard, so if you want a natural drink you need to tell them before they start making it.

After I finished with my drink I wasn't empty handed for long. Some kids carrying a basket of fried food convinced me to try a piece of fried chicken for the low price of 3,000 rupiah ($0.20.) As you can imagine, for that price, it wasn't great. It was all skin and bone with hardly any meat.

Needless to say that I was still hungry after that. I went on the hunt for something tasty-looking that I hadn't tried before and found Indonesian Kebabs. It wasn't anything like what I was expecting by the name "Kebab."

I enjoyed some cheap sushi and then a traditional Indonesian snack called Gogos Bakar to finish off my trip to this crazy night market. It was a fun but exhausting experience.
