nasi santan is the famous local dish here in selayar island
why they called it nasi santan or coconut gravy rice?
obviously because they cooked the white rice with coconut gravy

nasi santan goes along very well grilled fish, squid, or even fried chicken

another must have item in this dish
is a portion of sambal belimbing
a type of chili mixed with crushed peanuts and cuts of stairfruits

but beware, if you order grilled squid
likelyhood your fingers will ended up just exactly like mine :)

and this is local snacks from selayar island, keripik melinjo
fried melinjo, or gnetum gnemon, dipped in liquid palm sugar
