We stop at a small local restaurant right by the water serving classic Minahasan food. The menu has everything โ pork, fish, vegetables โ and one item that instantly caught our eye: foki foki. We had no idea what it was, but we ordered it anyway. Turns out it's a delicious local eggplant dish, served alongside freshly grilled sate babi with rice and sambal. Simple, fresh, and absolutely worth stopping for.
