Pallubasa is similar to Coto Makassar because this food is a food that has a gravy. The difference between Pallubasa and Coto Makassar is in the cooking process. The offal used for the Pallubasa filling is cooked for a long time.

Once cooked, offal and meat are sliced and served in a bowl. In addition, roasted grated coconut is also added to make the sauce thicker and more savory. One thing that makes this food special is the toping in the form of half-cooked free-range chicken eggs.
