all right here we go slowly moving in traffic in a micro bus here in jakarta indonesia
so if you guys heard our previous vlog we described jakarta as part new york
part tokyo and part sao paulo brazil and when i say it like that it sounds like it might be
the best city in the world india and ivan is saying this part here almost like part india
so what could be better than that a little bit of everything
here in jakarta indonesia and with this in mind we are going to try nasi padang
which is a meal where you get to have a little bit of everything so it's interesting that nasi padang
is so many little dishes because typically on our channel when we do a food video it's one dish
but it's almost like nasi padang is a style of eating where you get to try a little bit of
everything so i believe i've never had nasi padang before although i've been to jakarta four times
and so here we go slowly but surely making our way i'm not convinced this
is the fastest way to go it seems like i could walk faster but we'll see if we hit a better uh
smooth section very very slow hello hello there you go oh yeah making friends at the micro bus
window on our way to nasi padang here we go this is something that we simply do not have in canada
so although for the locals this might be a typical experience for me this is very memorable and very
exciting now nasi padang is from a place in indonesia called mending cabal oh yes
and so i've never been there but it really makes me want to go there because not only is nasi
padang from there also rendong is from any cabal it's from padang actually there's a city called
padang there's a city called padang in sumatra so i've never been to the island of sumatra
stay tuned to our vlog series to see if we make it there although i think on this series
we'll stay mostly on java although like i said this is my fourth time in indonesia
and so i'm sure we'll be back and my goal would be to go to the birthplace of rendang
because as you know that is the greatest food in the whole world ever ever made
so uh we're going about about walking pace now in the micro bus and i guess it's an empty micro bus
it is the uh weekend it's early in the morning now so maybe the streets are pretty empty but with all
that being said come enjoy some nasi padang with us where we get to try a little bit of everything
hopefully this nasi padang has uh some chicken just like was in the back of that truck uh so much
to see and do and look at okay nasi padang next stop hello very good how are you oh yes yes yes
so much action out the window
i bye these micro buses so a bit of a shame no other passengers got on because it's really nice
to see some locals on the micro bus because they tend to get a really nice case of see
it say it syndrome what do you know see it say it syndrome no happens a lot of microbus what is that
so the word for indonesian is bulay yeah what the logos do is they see me they point to me and say
see it say it and i say you're right man here i am so a bit of a shame we didn't see anybody but
i think we're eating here yeah my dad has been skydiving let me go here well your dad's here
yeah fantastic okay next stop nasi padang with uh the chief himself that's my cannon
thank you hello okay fancy restaurant very nice
oh there's your dad there waiting for us oh fancy messy by them fantastic
getting hungry the front door is full of plates and dishes and good smells so that's my candy
all right so i've certainly never had nasi padang before
because i've never seen this i would remember seeing exactly 29 dishes on the table there's
three of us it's roughly 10 dishes per person uh we won't try all of them in this video and give
you a review of all of them because it'll be a seven hour video 29 dishes seems like a little
bit of everything lots of veggie naturally i see some economists which may be something i will not
attempt definitely chicken in more than a few and of course random which is one dish i am sure will
be empty when we're finished and so i guess we put a little bit of rice would be the right idea
don't go too hard with the rice because you've got 29 dishes what happens if we don't
thing finish think you only oh you only pay for what you touch so if we don't touch it it just
goes for the next person oh this makes much more sense i thought we had to attempt to eat 29 dishes
and i guess and i guess because we're a group we can make some deals like if i start this will you
help me finish it if i start this because everything we start we want to finish well
now i got it at first i thought this was uh this was like a competitive eating challenge
no okay so i guess we go for i am grandpa and rendon to start okay i'm gonna start
with this chicken it's traditionally from padang right pal what is it called
i am hop it looks like steamed chicken actually yes and
this is one of my favorite it's brain let me guess
cowboy yeah so i'm gonna put can i take the whole thing or should we
take the whole share i would like i would like a little bit of galbraith okay okay look
this is how the inside of a cow brain looks like it's very creamy steve it's good i like it creamy
creamy creamy okay first time drawing cupboard
oh i kind of like want to try all the dishes
there's so many choices even this one is good look this is a baladu what is it called uh
looks like is it meat or eggplant is it meat i think you like this one actually
okay you can't go for it i think you'll really like it where is the rendang by
the way right over here oh okay i had my eye on it right from the beginning
in indonesia it's a little bit dark or in padang from padang
it's like brown isn't it it's not red or yellow it looks so good
with that sort of red smells so good with the red oil in the bottom of the bowl oh it looks amazing
oh that looks good okay here you go so the ion pop has this kind of sambal
it's kind of like like curry somewhat actually it smells like curry like this
so now we gotta do yours all right so i've been dissuaded from i am grandpa in favor of the
typical boiled chicken with this uh sambal i've got some cow brain which is making me nervous
and i've got some rendang which is the greatest food ever you should go for one veggie runner okay
this is uh don't tell me this is cassava leaves cassava leaves oh you know already
it's getting good practicing okay let's go cassava leaves which is good to absorb uh
sauce oh that's a lot i like it is there a sambal for the casserole i might put i
might put the brains the brain liquid on the cause so this is typical green chili finesse
yeah but it's very complex up to you for me i skipped really quick
okay first thing we must try is going to be the brain uh feeling nervous feeling nervous
brain brain i feel like brain has got to be good for you it's the brain after all
bringing rice
actually very good it's actually really good so the texture like you said is like
creamy really the texture is very good and then the sauce they got is uh like curried
coconut milk sauce curry yeah
wow if my mom could see me now oh my gosh look at this side that's the brain side
i'ma just recommending green sambal but the anchovy flavor is probably in assembly no it's
not even anchovy it's not you promise yeah okay put it on the on the leaves
on the rice kkk so it seems to be a must with the green symbol um
oh my gosh the green summer was so good good right oh my gosh we need more of the green symbol
the green symbol is amazing this is it's quite spicy but the flavor is amazing actually
so there are two kinds there is the green which we've been avoiding the
anchovies and there is the red yeah oh my gosh that green sambal was good
spicy and delicious i think the green stumble will go really good with the um
cassava leaves green symbol and rice i think this is the winning idea eating with the hands
oh that's good oh that is five star eating the brain curry green sambal cassava leaves and rice
and you know what we're gonna do put some rendang in there so does this pattern um because there's
also satay patan yeah this is satay so also from padang yes so for some reason all of the
culinary innovation comes from padang yeah it's known for it's known for greed
so hopefully one day we can go to padang it seems like food heaven uh ivana is recommending this one
oh it's beef it's beef it's almost like a burger patty or it's not a burger patty but it's like
a jerky it's like a jerky that's been um sort of dried out and then soaked in oil
uh to be honest i can already tell you this is really good
how could it be bad spicy beef vegetables you can try the red sambal
which one do you like better oh that's amazing oh this is the star of the blanca really uh den deng
five stars let's be clear six stars and it comes with the red chili
so it's beef jerky with red chili and you mix it in with some rice
and it's very oily so it's almost like they dried the beef and then soaked in oil after
it's jerky that gets oil in it so it's simultaneously oily which is very wet as well
as dry from the jerky uh five stars let's be clear six stars den deng balado and valado is a place no
the the dish oh by the dough is a sambal and dan dang means like turkey and which one do
you like oh my gosh it's good with sambal you like better the green symbol or the red sambal
both good both good in the wrong way the green sambal and the ransom ball
have different purposes um can i finish the dendang balado sure
out of all that's the best one it's really good absolutely six stars and i will say the brain
is still surprising me in my head i thought i'm not going to like brain because of my boneless
skinless upbringing but hey brain is good no idea i'm trying to answer me it's so good
wants me to try it's good anchovy
you guys have been paying attention to our vlog you know that anchovy is something that's good
that i've tried to eat 50 times and i've liked it zero
it's crispy right oh man it's good this is the first angel the reason is the green
chili is so good so to be honest the anchovy flavor wasn't my favorite
but it was mixed in with the green chili which is so good by the way sweating
wow you are sweating i'm sweating a lot coming up okay okay let's finish eating
and then we'll give you our final review we'll see how many dishes we can complete
yeah 29 cane we might eat like six or ten we'll see spicy but delicious
i'm new to eating with my hands so i can't open the
i should have opened water beforehand also i don't know if it's normal i got the handle
of the spoon all dirty is it normal because i wanted more rice yeah i know look at this
also the camera is quite oily and greasy so good thing good thing the gopro was waterproof it's
very hard to foam here let's hope it's oil uh is it weird to ask them to open the bottle for me
they just wipe them just wipe it the problem is this is all the flavor i'm losing you'll get more
yeah yeah you know it's okay okay
that's fine still learning still learning yeah different steel look at that giant shrimp or prawn
is there anything else you'd like to try steve uh no i just want some napkins please oh not
afghanistan okay i have uh some more nut kids again maybe just the whole box
what a mess the this is the bowl of water for washing your hands you forgot about it
yeah me too just took me 20 minutes to get clean the bowls right there fail we didn't
destroy the whole place only this place right here we tried to control ourselves
so one two three four five six seven eight nine ten eleven twelve thirty four eight three sixteen
seven eighteen nineteen twenty twenty one twenty two so we only had like seven maybe eight
oh this one two maybe eight not bad pretty good not bad i wanted
all right so final price about 500 000 which is like 50 bucks in canada or 35 american
fare price and so final review of first time ever trying nasi padang what is not to like it's got
something for everyone meat or vegetarian spicy or non-spicy i will say i guess you want to go
to a nasi padang restaurant that's relatively busy so that each plate has been made fresh
it hasn't been sitting for a few hours but what's funny is we're trying to leave the restaurant now
and this is the reality of the parking scenario in indonesia especially in jakarta so our car
is on the back row this red car which means we've got one car in front of us
that whoever parked it here has left the keys with the owner but there's another car in front of that
one blocking it and quite often what happens is these cars that are the that are the third car
they're in neutral and the guy who's working here will just push it forward i think not in this case
because it's not even ground but uh it's been 10 minutes or so trying to leave i think this car
is about to move but very interesting in terms of the parking scenario in jakarta so there you have
it guys final review of nasi padang i would say it's good i would say the beef dish with the red
uh chili sauce was very good as well as the green chili sauce lots to love i would say
it was a five star experience and with that i think we're ready to go in a few minutes
good okay thanks for watching guys later
