Soto Bang Amat
Banjarmasin's most famous old Banjar soto shop, by the river, where you can arrive by boat for a bowl of chicken soup with rice noodles and rice cake.
Banjar soto is a signature dish of South Kalimantan, a chicken broth simmered with spices such as cinnamon and clove. It is served with shredded chicken, rice noodles, egg and ketupat rice cakes, and lime juice and chilli sauce are added before eating. The old Amat shop stands on the riverbank in Banwasi district, on the Martapura River, with a plain setting and wooden houses over the water. You can take a klotok boat and land at the pier. It is often the brunch stop after visiting the floating market. The shop also serves satay with soup. It is inexpensive per person, and at peak mealtimes you may need to queue.
