MIND BLOWING Butter LOBSTER & FISH HEAD Curry! SEAFOOD Tour of Jakarta Indonesia

Hey guys, I'm Mike Chen, as I mentioned when I hit the media. What I love about this country is that we go to different regions, the cuisine also changes and today I am about to describe spicy cuisine and this is really very kind of popular food here emphasized by rich flavors like coconut and chillies. The restaurant we are going to now is like a virgin of something dense. I'll show you what I mean as soon as I get a feel for all this. right, that's why I said this place re

mind

s me of him, then there's a place where you get all these dishes, what's really interesting to note is that anything you don't want don't touch it, I guess you can't like to move it. aside, but if you touch it in any way, you are paying for it, but whatever is in front of you right now, this is all I want, including this majestic creature, this is a

curry

white snapper and of course I would never have fun. this restaurant my local friends who are right there don't want to be on camera, they told me they come here every time you guys come here every week.

I don't blame them because this seems absolutely ridiculous, this is what I was told is called marijuana sauce, not because it contains marijuana, but because it is highly addictive, it's like the crack from crack rolls in Korea, so it's supposed to that you should mix the red with the white and I'm just going to mix. a small part and that will be my little

fish

dipping sauce. I usually like to start with a colored part and get a good piece of meat from this region and that is very good to eat here, happy Indonesian for me.

Oh God. For me, being speechless happens in several different scenarios when I see the Grand Canyon, when I witness a sunset in Sedona and right now when I bit into this

fish

head

, I touched it with

curry

twice in my life, the first That time it was, of course, in Singapore. It's not going to compare to this, but the best curried fish

head

I've ever had anywhere in the world, let me get another piece to explain why this is so good in the first place, see? Take a look here, simply the splendid white meat of this fish.

You look at it and see how easily my spoon cuts into the meat. The fish is delicate, it's flaky, it's incredibly beautiful. Dip it in a little curry. Wayne bites, no need. Bite hard because that's how delicate the meat from the quarry is, it's almost like a poetic dance of food that goes crazy when you bite into it because what's deficient disintegrates in your mouth and mixes with the flavor of the curry, the same curry that it is. thing deserves. a prize, I wouldn't say it's not spicy at all, very subtle hints of spice. I've never had a curry like this before, it has such a huge lemongrass flavor, it's just a line in here that adds that beautiful citrus flavor and all that, but the fish just wants to get up and give it a round of applause, that's what What do you want to do with every bite I take?

I want to get up and give him a hand. It's absolutely incredible. I could dip anything in this curry. I know this is going to go, go with my rice, so a little more meat, look at this thing, gently scraping the meat off the neck of this fish, it's like when you put a spoon up to the apple, you scrape it, it's almost like you're making this smooth applesauce, it feels. like what I'm doing right now, just magical up here, this cheek, which is the best part of the fish. I'm so excited because if the necklace was already so cute, this is going to be even more so, so check this out.

It's like scraping baby food out of a jar. What I also love about this curry is that within a minute or so you get that subtle tingle that gets you excited from just a little bit of chillies, as there was a perfect amount of chillies here to not overpower the overly delicate fish. yeah oh-ho-ho that's a fish you'll want to kiss every day you're like the best fish curry hands down that I've never eaten in my life I gotta get it if your work comes to Asia I gotta get it oh sorry I gotta Try the sauce, it was so good that I forgot the dipping sauce, so the red and green sauce is not very spicy and there are some like little bits of

seafood

in here, yeah, little bits of fish in here with some chilies, this is sour, a wonderful citrus flavor.

Up the Bravo fish in this selection. I'm going to give it to my friends now to get together because I don't want this to go cold and it's going to be very sad. Okay like I said these are a bunch of other dishes that are available here and this is supposed to be something really unique there's a fried pigeon this is a very tasty little burp oh yeah I left it out too long you know rush means a little bit dry and the little legs are small but the meat has huge flavors hi spooky this could actually be better a little bit of hot sauce and this is the sauce that comes with some for the popcorn oh that's good you guys are so small that the curry and spices penetrate very deeply into the meat of the little bird a little chili brings out that flavor even more that is a delicious experience in itself this is called Bala dog and this is the first time you know they are eating beans stinky beans, which is a very popular item here and well if you're wondering why it's called stinky beans, come smell, this is one time you'll be glad vision smell hasn't been invented yet.

Oh hacks, it's such a strange smell, it smells like onions, oh man yeah, when I first came. It was ditch, but because it's a bean, I couldn't expect it to be a little stringy, a little soft, it's not, it's actually very crunchy. That strange smell spit all over my mouth and I got my surprise there. it's the popular beef dish made and it's probably the only Indonesian dish I've tried in America mm-hmm foods that change flavor when you chew nachos you before my favorite types of dishes my elders put them in your mouth, doesn't know I'll be honest, but I didn't realize.

How about two or three seconds after you take that fourth or fifth right, all the glory of that meat satisfies your senses, entices your taste buds and then you can taste all the spices like in I'm here to take the sweetness out of the coconut milk , but actually the spices are almost almost, it's like five spices, it's a glorious gastronomic experience. I mean, this is a transformative dish, no wonder it's one of the iconic dishes of this country. I'm just telling you. 100% honest and honest reviews, it's that good, at least here, it's that good, okay, so you can see we have tons of plates to eat on a request to clean up on this food day, this has not finished, look at it a little, said Rath. the restaurant I rented this gentleman was doing a popular Jakarta street food this dessert is called poi a Pain it's like a small pancake shaped like a UFO and there are three different types of cakes and I have this one look at this thing like I said shaped from UFO UFO, well this one is a little broken, but pandan flavored, tender moist pie lettuce right in the middle, almost looking like shredded meat, clawy guys and shrimp, look up gently, makes a little wafer abroad. the inside is very moist and airy, very nice pun flavor, the lotion is hoarse, this is medicaid, this is called quick hit, skip to chomp chomp, sorry coconut, how delicate, i guess this kid dips it in the sugar you just gave me, oh, but really.

Well, I know it's melted cocoa nuts, Eva. I'm almost, I have like a paste here and the reason I get a lot of sugar is because you need it, there's a little bit, there's no sugar taste here, except for a little trust. salty even and that sugar also provides a nice crunch this is the third masterpiece of this gentleman plague juban little pink pig yes, small, tiny, without layers of different shapes and sizes, let's chocolate on top, I think all this with a little bit of ice cold, it even warms you up. I know, thank you very much.

I say that because, well, there's mochi in my drink and, by the way, it's also on one of our t-shirts. If you want to see our t-shirts, the link is below. This is the famous Nazi. Oh duck, everyone's been telling me again, yelling at me no less to understand why I'm here in Indonesia and this is just another one of those dishes like nasi lemak. I had Singapore coconut rice and a wide variety of vegetables and meats. surrounding it like the planets around the Sun, this place is really known for its deer hunting, so I also bought some chicken satay, so to eat this I think we're going to have a little evening and combine all the ingredients, I just want try this. rice less coconut Raja is known so far I don't care, this whole dish was just rice and crispy onions on top, I don't care if Oh, excellent chicken sausage, sweet and such a juicy sausage, although some, but sauce, some eggs, chicken. the skins will take a bike all inclusive there's some burping you're not hard really really crunchy I love the dishes dad has a lot of things different types of texture it just keeps everything really interesting you know we have the rope that has a bunch of little mochi balls in China very carefully, most of the balls actually don't eat that much, they're Chinese mochi balls, they're going to crumble a little more.

I was waiting for this. I wanted a good satay, oh yes, and I don't even like travel. I love everything about this, right, a little agender. You see how my fork sinks into the chicken meat without much effort. Look how that breaks. It tastes like hell, not spicy. You can only show the fire that is in this little piece of chicken, it is

butter

y, its sweetener is at that perfect point where the more you heat it, it will not suck in your stomach. This is a great meal. I think that by itself it has everything right now, some needs have something. of crunch they have some carbs it has the beautiful rice in the middle backup dancers I know Beyonce if this is the star of the show right here don't rule it out until you try it if I ever come back here and play it again another like five orders of this no, we're just going to go to town what a happy day of food you've had so far you want to go to one more place, let's go to the last place.

I see that others took me to eat layered

seafood

, this place is quite amazing, so if you know anything about fish or can identify which fish tastes good by looking at it, you can choose your own seafood, you can choose your

lobster

and finish what you you want, and this is one of the most famous seafood restaurants in Alta. Carnot, here's a treasure trove of a scene, oh look at this, I mean basically everything you want is here, you've got mud crabs,

lobster

s, a bunch of different types of fish, okay let's stop being grumpy, this one Place also has a small spice bar, it's friendly.

Cool because it re

mind

s me of a hop hop place, so for the fish we have a dwarf Bonnie and this is something that is really native to Southeast Asia. Beautiful fish. Check out this salted egg on fried fish skin to make the fish skin really crispy. First time I had a fish skinship and just salmon by the way this is so push it be nice we need a little spice with their stuff a little sun balm hey Chris Bean but with a salted egg and everything fried, you must have some spice. It is perfect with sambal.

I have never tried this fish before. It is a popular fish in Southeast Asia. I love the way they cook it. It looks like the way they cooked my fish in the Philippines the first day I was there. Wow, it's hot. Oh, this. The thing is perfectly fried, they pushed me to the office. I am not so beautiful, flaky, juicy and tender meat. All that fish I've eaten in this country so far, you really can't catch it. They cook it so well, it's so clean, a little bit of sambal is needed. however, he gives me a sweet soy sauce and I dip it hey, that's it, yes, together, that's perfect with the stretch, the meat of the fish is almost sweet on its own.

I'm just going to add a little bit of chili, oh no, I don't need chili. it's a little bit of sweet soy sauce, this is a home run, and this is how the locals eat this fish, so in addition to the meat, you grab the tail and then snap it. The isinglass cookie is better than most cookies you've ever tried because it really, really. well a slight insight is a fresh fish cracker who knew this is amazing now let's get to our crab. I've been waiting, this is like one of their signature dishes here and I've made the crab cooked anyway, but never with this. lots of garlic, that finger lick was so good I almost forgot about the crap for a second, dip it again in this spicy garlic and pepper sauce, a little lime, forget about all the other crabs you've ever eaten in your life together with black pepper crab.

I haven't had any other crabs in Singapore since then and it blew me away as much as this guy here. We already know that it is fresh crab. The meat is succulent, it is slightly sweet, very tender, but this garlic sauce has a garlic and pepper flavor. Spicy basically everything that's good in the world is in the sauce here this is on par with the pepper crab I had in Singapore 100% I really didn't think another crab dish could stun me, what does that tell you? I'm going to put this on my list of foods I must eat in Indonesia, so if you are a tonisha, put up your card, you come here, you made this, you guys need this and this will be one of thebest, if not the best, crab, why every year in life?

Trust me, this is a

butter

grilled lobster, so instead of just dipping the lobster in the butter, then grilling it with the butter that was dropped with the fork, well, let's see if a restaurant is just amazing, what lobster can taste so good with butter. I thought it just looks. like a normal lobster I thought: I'm so sorry. I doubted that the crab would be amazing but there is something so simply delicious about the lobster that I am going to add a little citrus and I am going to dip this bite in the sambar that they gave me, this thing was created by a crazy food genius, this is like the sea sweet right here, it's incredibly sweet and tender and juicy, and in the middle of all that you get that nice, tasty creamy buttery flavor, see all the little bits of charcoal here, you can change the actual grill and some of you might To think it's a bad thing, no it's not, they get that slight touch of fire along with just a little bit of bitterness to take away. about the sweetness of the lobster, we take the lobster, we take it and we dip it in the garlic sauce.

Oh lady, the lobster meat is sweeter than the crab meat and then we dip it in that sauce. It has that gorgeous smoky, spicy, spicy, garlicky flavor. the lobster meat just drops a bomb of flavor, you still get the sweetness and the texture, all that gray stuff going on here, that's happy to eat, put it on your food list, this is one of those places, especially if you love seafood you should calm down here today another great day of food the most amazing hickory fish I have ever tasted seedless peanut butter satay and now this I also want to say that I feel like Indonesian food is completely underrated, Completely underestimated.
