EXTREMELY CHEWY NOODLES! Indonesian BRUNCH Street Food Tour in Jakarta Indonesia

Hi guys, I'm Mike Chen, very excited to be on another

food

adventure this time. I'm here in Jakarta, Indonesia, they wanted to come for a long time, but it's been like a monsoon, so I haven't had the chance until now. I'm very happy to be. There's a group of friends of mine here who I've known for quite some time, but she's never met them in person. They'll take me there. I have no idea where we are going. All I know is that there will be a lot of

food

and I'm very excited, so let's start this day, that's our food cart over there.

I see a little bit, hey, hey, okay, I'm here at our first location, my friends, very shy, didn't want to be on camera and we're at the keratin restaurant and right now it's all about

brunch

and when You eat

brunch

here in Indonesia a lot of

noodles

are involved so let's start with the first one, this place is supposed to be a great chicken and pork dish or cha cha

noodles

. Take a look here, some vegetables and sprouts just fell into the water. Look, those don't look like freshly made noodles. Oh my goodness, enter the Chacho port.

Oh, chicken covered in some kind of sauce every time I'm in a new country. city ​​I'm trying their local food for the first time. It's a feeling of anticipation right now. I'm just feeling butterflies. It's like I'm on a first date or something. It's called curly noodles. It looks nice. Simple, some chicken seems to be prepared in some kind of soy sauce rock and some chashu, plus Chinese pork rolls. What really excites me about this dish is this look at these noodles as soon as he took them out and threw them in the water, you can tell these were freshly made noodles and I confirmed it, they make these noodles themselves here, look at this, look how well all the sauce covers the rope and you Dalls this is a special bowl right here so it has both the chicken. the pork, which you know, come on, in a perfect world, you need at least those two mediums to have a noodle party.

I have trouble talking because it's never something. I have to beat this. My mouth is watering non-stop. Also check out this seasoning. Look. this is like a crazy pot of just chilis floating on top and vinegar, you know how much I love my vinegar when it comes to noodles and these noodles, especially with some pork and with a spicy chicken sausage, you need some vinegar to counterbalance that and this this will fit perfectly into that role and two more things that I want to introduce to you: a homemade hot sauce that they also have here for the noodles and finally, this thing that they call lard here and it's just dried pork belly. and pork skin and that will add that even light final crunch on top of the noodles that will practically make your noodle strips come true let me try these, it's the perfect amount of crunchy, it's not that hard, you'll like it, you know, touch . they pull your teeth out or something it's actually pretty mild oh man fat in the port just dances on your tongue it's time to start my

indonesia

n food adventure wow-wow-wow times infinite I mean, it's pretty much what I expected, the noodles that I feel are the star of the show really playa said al dente

extremely

chewy

, which is like the highest quality drama you've ever had and it's more of our soy sauce base flavor, so you definitely taste that ominousness and every strand of pork, slightly sweet soy pork. and the soy sauce flavored chicken is very permeated into the chicken, it is a little sweet, the flavor is very deep overall, this whole little crust is

extremely

good.

I mean, this is a flavor bomb and I'd already say it's getting a lot better, which. I get a little bit of vinegar and then a little bit of homemade hot sauce and we should be good. No, this is the first time we've invited the poor overgrown crunchies to the party. I know this is going to be good. I know it looks like I can protect your future, you heard right, every ingredient has the perfect role here, these poor noodles are like a Hamilton dish where every ash crinkles, a perfect display of flavor, you got your nice crunch from the greens.

The Sprouse Dean got a different crunch than crispy pork. Oh, in that crunch every time you bite it's like a firework shooting through the sky because it brings with it not only that beautiful sound, but that nice pork flavor melted all over the noodles and everything else in your mouth, you'll have a blast good with this latin guy, oh my gosh, I mean what better in a

chewy

bowl than not, there's a little bit of crispy pork, the answer nothing, oh, and by the way, the closer you get. to the bottom of this bowl, who knows better, because the bottom is where the vegetables reside, a lot of the crispy pork resides, so when you go down below and there's so much crunchy or crunchy pork here, then the noodles go They eat from above.

That's a good vibe. I love it with a big finish of a plate that sits at the bottom of the bowl. My favorite. It's like a hidden surprise. A cute little bowl of soup that cleans up the taste in your mouth a little. It is an Indonesian sweet. tea, you guys didn't realize, this is a good start for my dad, so let me finish this and maybe lose weight with another ball and then let's continue this food

tour

at location number 2, so total Madan, this will be a very traditional event. Indonesian dish here we are eating rice and coconut soup now I have had coconut rice and normal soup.

I have never eaten coconut. There is a Domino's Pizza. I do not forget it. Let's eat here. Oh, come check this out in addition to this soup. rice is obtained in this meat assortment, so here you have some chicken, this is chicken liver, I think it is wrapped in something, maybe also with chicken entrails, this is beef hearts, small potato fritters and regular cuts of beef, and he's cutting all of that for us. he comes the chicken with the tip of his knife, that's why I love traveling to different cultures, because okay, chicken and beef are everywhere, but the different ways people treat them and the different ways they serve them is just amazing to me.

I'm so excited to try all the different types of meat here, I mean this is so unique, it's Coco Soto shoes and the size is what I showed you before, different parts of the chicken, different parts of the meat, it's all here . so to complement this, you have some lime, you have the Samba sauce, you have the rice, you have these ancient crackers that are made of special nuts, some potato fritters, this looks like a wound, you know, but it's not, it's a fake udon, it's a wood on crackers which is actually like a rice cracker, it's very light and all of this can be dipped here or put here or Utzon alone, so the first thing I did of course is try the essence of this food.

This, the soup is really very thick and look at everything in here, man, it looks like a tribe in here too. Wow, that's interesting. This is not one of those dishes where the flavor profile changes once it enters your mouth. when I tried it, I even tasted a nutty flavor from the soup, you don't really show the coke like I didn't taste the coconut in the first maybe two seconds, three seconds, but maybe the second number five. Wow, but their whole trap has come from I mean, there are hula dancers dancing on my tongue, sambar sauce, which I love, it's spicy, now we're inviting some Chili's to the party, it's going to get a little wild, oh yeah, slap me in the face, well now yeah.

It doesn't really overpower the flavor of the soup, no, not at all, you still get that really amazing coconut flavor and I think the coconut flavor comes through sooner now that the lime and chilli are there, interesting little cookies, in full light, use it like a little. dip container here has nice little cracks open it's melting close melting that's a nice compliment yeah well interesting you could just let it soak in there and leave it all like you would soak up a dropper bottle. I like it a little more with a crunchy oh. One more thing now is supposed to add the Swiss sweet here, look at this, it's not like any soy sauce I've ever seen because look how thick it is.

They can't see it, probably because of their sugar. contained in the soy sauce and they told me to add a little soy sauce in this boom soup which was more like syrup than soy sauce and they told me to take my cookie and put some soy sauce directly on the cookie and took a bite. there's an amazing big difference Wow, it's not as salty as regular soy sauce so it doesn't overwhelm you, the salty flavor is a great combination. I mean, you never see party trays where you have some crackers and some soy sauce, but you should if you have this. soy sauce, well, let me dip this here.

I don't know, it's like you know what people do here, but I want to do it, so I think it's all absorbed there right now. mm-hmm, oh, do that when you come. Here, oh, that's great, these cookies are small, they're still a little sweet, they're no longer crunchy after you. Hmm, let me try the little potato fritters and I think this, honestly I don't know if this is what people do in Indonesia, but this needs. to put in soup for a couple of reasons. I think if I puree it I'll be able to have a little bit of potatoes everywhere in this soup and that will love my whole soup even more because the potatoes get mushy every time they go in. a soup, I think it makes the soup better, that means it's good, so now take some of my rice, go here and take a dip, yeah, hey, you know what I don't know if I was supposed to do that in the hope that he will think.

Wow, they should do that potato thing. I'm going to film what I want to hear. I don't know if you guys aren't watching this and just cursing my name right now or something Pastis like that. It's pretty good here, I mean. It makes this soup a little thicker, a little starchier, but it also makes it creamier. Look how thick it is, it's almost like potato soup. Now here, oh, let me have a big spoonful with all the meats so that B, the tribe, is amazing. really amazing mmm I don't expect it I'll tender it, that's fish, another thing about this you have a lot of chicken dinners and beets go into this soup.

I'm sorry, in this stew I just created, you don't know anything about the weirdness. there is no organic taste in this at all, all you get is the nice texture and taste of the meat, oh my gosh there is so much meat flavor, omg I tell you don't judge me until you try these potatoes in this soup they want. to smile you want to have a good day you want to have a good day of food put your potatoes in this soup this is a special appeared coming down what is a city where is this dish from once i bought coke Cherie is like is like a birch beer , yeah, it's like a birch beer, hmm, that's a root, some kind of root soda, okay, there's a lot more to come in this food ad, but so far, Finch has daily stops.

I'm going to give this a little more. individual attention, so we'll see you a little bit this round, we'll get back to the needles and this is obviously a Chinese implore noodle shop bak meatloaf bak means nose to me and it's because ya Mia, how can you nose? Let's try some oka noodles they are how cute this is the Kazami oh me and little quail eggs that look like little GA except for their little quail eggs and a little soup looks like chicken on top a little mushrooms in the noodles again it shows right away this is done here, yeah, look, it's not balancing a system, that's a sign of a really fresh noodle.

I mean, this thing just shines, it looks like a really simple bowl of noodles with some chicken. I guess this is just some chicken broth. The bottom of these noodles also smells, it's true, this smells so disgusting. I mean, such a crazy Romo chicken smell hits your nose as soon as this is near your face. I must say that I am really in love. with the texture of these noodles and that plus the wonderful flavor of the chicken, wait, I have to shake my neck. I mean, yeah, it's just chicken, but wow, it's like chicken on flavor steroids.

I mean, it's incredibly tasty in a chicken dish because it's little pieces. of chicken that has also absorbed a lot of chicken broth, it's such a tasty fighting sugar, it's funny because it's so hard to mess up this noodle-filled thing just for the sake of the noodles, I mean, such a good noodle that you can never eat too little of it. Ko eggs taste what I was going to pretend they are normal sized tea eggs and I'm this humongous Auto flavor that has penetrated the egg whites and soaked into the egg yolks, plus it's no sweeter than I think.

I would like it, but what the noodles provide more. an egg and cream factor, you're so good, these noodles are. I finished my half before I realized I should have put some chili in here, so let's do it, oh, I love this country too, it's the liberal use of butter, these crunchy. bits of pork whatever you go to a noodle shop like I have it in I wish all the noodle shops in the world had surpassed you guys have you ever seen a ringed pig before? Okay, from the looks of it, let's make some chili and a little vinegar Oh, a little bit of this chili sauce too, there's nowhere more noodles here to be touched by the chili, but that's the only thing which I ate most of.

They told me at the first noodle place, hello, crispy pink, fresh, attacked bysome Chili's. in my throat anyway like I was saying these little crispy pork pieces absolutely perfect with these noodles very well, I like it especially when I get to the bottom each bite a little spicy a little crunchy the pork pieces come out a little, you know Noodles, that's my life that's why I go to every different country different culture I explore I loved trying dirty little dishes Hi guys, in Indonesia, you are very lucky, but I think the biggest advantage of the noodle place is here in Indonesia, lots of little bits Crispy pork, OMG this is a must have I mean now.

I've had it, I'm going to find this in the US. I'm starting to add it to all my ramen dishes from now on, okay for the next place, we'll change it up a bit, we'll have seafood and this restaurant comes highly recommended by y'all, it's called Chi 1 2. They're all sub-links and as soon as I got here I was talking about something about the smoke coming from the grill of a restaurant outside the place and it's enough to make my heart palpite, so once we stay, you have some grilled fish, some mussels, some clams. It will be a great lunch number 4 and of course I will try coconut for the first time here in Indonesia and this is really great.

This is orange and coconut juice, so it's Corinne juice. Wow, we need to have a friend. Juice, yes, with milk, it's citrus. I can not wait. secret, of course, talking about my seafood, this is a fish with palm prints, this is the fish of the ocean. Wow, I mean, this is split in half, it's roasted over open flames over charcoal, look at this fish, I mean, you can tell it has a lot of spices. Here I guess this grows to perfection with a little char all over it and look how juicy this vicious look at this thing shines like a beauty queen.

What is that guys? I just ate about five bowls of noodles today and I just came. be around this right now without salivating some warning chlorine retention seems high with some chilis and it looks like a box out here oh this is lovely oh there's even more lovely i have too many good things in front of me i'm a little lonely i'm overwhelmed because i have something more than I really need to do. Do you want to unwrap a gift of food? If they do it. So look at this. Guess what's here. Normally, when you see a large amount of banana leaves, it usually has something to do with rice. or maybe there's a chicken there's a crab here are you feeling the emotional connection?

I like living now it feels like Christmas morning I'm sorry I didn't actually get any gifts on Christmas morning because we didn't celebrate it feels like Chinese New Year morning the sambar The sauce here is not enough to make me cry guys, ready for this. I hope they have eaten something before they see this because of my mistake. It's not just one Crab here, a couple of Crabs covered in sambar sauce. It has that beautiful onion and garlic aroma. Chilies mixed with a deep bulb roast this banana leaf sensation. I'll even know how to approach this right now, but before I move on to try all the other dishes first, the mussels.

I'm really confused, I don't know. If this muscle is supposed to taste like this usually, if we taste the muscles, they are extremely tender, right, this feels like it has been fried once you see what a difficult decision it feels like I almost got like a muscle Fraidy and it's extremely good. I just don't know what this is, just let it sit too long where it's supposed to be like that, yeah sorry let me ask you real quick, yes it's fried, first it's fried and then it's sautéed so I serve it as crispy muscle . inside it's still very chewy but I guess I have to say that Heckscher really works the muscles and there's a lot of flavor in this stuff and I think a lot of that comes with whatever this hot sauce is, I mean this sauce is balance the muscles at this time is not just pure fire, it has a little sweetness and the flavor is very deep, you have the tasty Ganesh set.

I said, a little sweet, tons of heat, definitely, some happiness jumping up and down in your mouth, it's so-so. Well, they are very liberal with the use of garlic. God bless you for that sacred cow. Sorry, holy muscle, this thing is driving me crazy right now. This fish, hello baby, oh look how cute it is, okay, it's so perfect. I love the smoke. of the fish, so all the spices that are on top penetrate the meat of the fish, each bite is so delicate that it has a lot of flavor, let me split a little lemon juice on this thing because with a fish that is already tasting this good with a little citrus, it will taste even better, the pulp comes off the skin effortlessly, so I dipped the fish in the summer sauce and it also comes with a sweet sweet soy sauce with a little chili.

I mean, it's hard for me to see this getting any better than it already is, but wow, a little more warmth, a little more happiness, that's my philosophy! Very good sweet soy sauce and chili. Wow, the sauce really brings out the smokiness of the fish and makes it a little sweeter, more robust and hence all the fish mom's flavor and she is a chili man who gets something as good as this on my first day here in this country, this excites me a lot because I was going to come back as the mussels I feel very bad leaving this aside but I have something else that I need to try I have to get to this oh that's why let's try the tamale oh great this is one of the best parts of crab I feel like Indonesian food I want to say again my The first day I still don't understand enough about this, but Indonesian food is what I like.

I mean the flavor profile in most of the dishes I've tried, it's really an aggressive in your face flavor that hits you to the ground and that I really respect and I love new Asian cuisine, let's try to cool down all the shells that have been given to me split so that the flavor can have access to totus meats, bites of crab meat, a little sweet, very garlicky, a very smoky flavor. You can change the amazing aroma of banana leaves into the crab itself, the crab meat is tender and sweet, it is absorbed, all that deliciousness is almost extinguished.

I dipped it in the crab meat every five, you're not missing out on that flavor, whatever you say, this is tender, that's an understatement, really yeah, this is one of my favorite parts of the crab, the joints here because we just take a huge bite, there's a lot of smoke and we wash all that down for the good guys, a simultaneous juice, yeah I had to pick my favorite, I don't even know. I think if I had to choose, I would have to go with the muscles because this is the most heaven sent muscle dish I think I have ever tried.

You have to do. There is a race for Carmen because these dishes require it. for you Bryce, put some rice in that sauce, oh I can put broccoli in there, they're still falling off, so good I'm not done yet, okay, I'll see you at the next place, okay, just a quick recap . today I went to choose, you know, a coconut soup place, a glorious secret place and this is my last last lunch, this is lunch number five, but even after all the food I ate, my appetite is rejuvenating. I am very excited. Seeing the food here, grilled beef ribs, they are so pretty, they smell so good, they look so good and this is not all, it is the soup version and I get a soup that goes along with teaching a huge ribs place beef.

I can't wait for him to dig. I can't believe this lunch number five I've never been so excited in my life. Let's start first with a grilled beef. Oh, look at this, you'll see a bone drop right here. Oh yeah, okay, we'll just say I'm not a fan. This one, the sausage is like a kind of sauce, a sauce with peanuts and there is something very sweet about it, but I love it, I mean the way the meat is cooked. All I'm tasting is just smoke, basically tasting the fire, let's use it to cook these ribs mmm.

I would really like it just without the sauce just a little salt and pepper cumin maybe some chilies and cumin anything is so fabulous it's a fatty mistake it's all Dino ribs should be and this water comes with a suit because well ya You know, it's pretty dry. I'd like to shoot, I think, honestly, take the sauce off it. Put the Dino ribs in the soup. Let me do that. Put that in the soup. Wow, not even the scouring pad, listen, the idiot has a great combination. Try this is D beef rib with soup and it has a lot. of dried onions on top I think this soup could be the same ice I think this is just it's just the ribs in this soup, so pretty much what I just did putting the ribs in the soup is basically this dish right here, not so much. butter, aha, here you have the fantastic smoky flavor of the ribs in the soup itself, this is good, a little citrus, let's add a little chili to this too;

It's definitely a good dish, wait, come here man, I'd really love to have crispy onions on top. This meat too mine is just a little crunchy. This version I feel is much better than a dry version. In the dry version you get more smoky flavor, but I feel like that sweet sauce ruins it for me. list a lot of the meat it also has a nice char this is a manga this is my favorite the connective tissue between the ribs look at all that skin and cartilage this thing is perfect it has the grilled onions on top also a little fat muscle this right here is a big bite I have to go on a trip Wow, first date, you know them, neva.

I've already tried some amazing dishes and all of this is really just a prelude because my food in this country is just beginning, as always. All the places I went appear in my box photo below. Many of you have been asking me about my teacher, so if you like this shirt and there are many others, definitely visit my store, the link is in the description box. below I think the link is also on the product shelf below this video so definitely check it out pick a shirt right now after eating this I will fall straight into a food coma I will wake up and then my El Food day will continue later today, so thank you all so much for watching this video.
