Thank you so much What are the different cultures that you would find mixed into the Indonesian cuisine because they're so many so the Main ones are Dutch, Chinese, Japanese, a lot of Arabic and Indian. And liwa-tan is a feast that you eat with your hands. It's on banana leaves and it's for celebrations It can be for anything from celebrations to Gatherings mainly. Ron, you're actually Filipino, right? Oh, yes. I've had a Kamiyan dinner before the Filipino one It does it kind of look similar. Our countries are pretty close together So there's a lot of a lot of influence back and forth, right? What are we looking at here? We have asanam salad which is an Indonesian slaw, yellow turmeric rice Which is turmeric with lemon grass steamed into it with coconut milk. We have Balinese street corn We have satay ayam, which is chicken skewers. We have tempeh. Tempeh is very popular in Indonesia What we have here is our introduction if you will to Indonesian food So the sambal sambal is refers to the dipping sauce to find all over Indonesia There's thousands of different versions, but what we have here is our sambal dabu-dabu It's kind of like a salsa sambal bijo, which is green sambal. Sambal nanas, pineapple sambal, my personal favorite Next to that is a very traditional sambal terasi, which is shrimp paste sambal So right here is our house turmeric pickled vegetables in Indonesia. It's called patata. That has a lot of influence from Arabia Enjoy guys. Alright, man. Thank you. You got the flower petals in the water Okay, dip our fingers and you mostly and you got to eat with your right hand, right? Yes, traditionally I'm trying the pineapple sambal pineapple one. I'm gonna go with the original This is like the traditional og one right here a first of many sambal bites. Cheers Sweeteners of the chip balancing out with that strong shrimp flavor dude I'm gonna try this a kind of the oh the salsa style one. Yeah. Mmm. Wow This definitely kicks with it I took this a pickle de gallo looking salsa and I was expecting the tomato taste But there's definitely less tomato and more kick go on with the beach a little bit. Yeah Oh, it's very fresh. Yeah, this is the beach. The green ones like salsa bear a little so far I like the shrimp the taste isn't overpowered by the spiciness the spiciness is what I noticed the most But this one the shrimp comes through for me I put it's like the pineapple pineapple you get a little sweetness in there So we started with a slaw on the rice combo for on the rice throwing a little pork in there Wow, so the chicken skewer chicken I'm dipping it in the saute sauce guys Carl, I like that peanut sauce. It's actually some other peanut sauces I've had actually taste too much like peanut butter, but this actually has like a true peanut taste You guys let's move on to the work keep this pork. Oh my gosh, so this is crispy pork. Let me dip this Mmm. Yeah, our pork is crazy. We got a dip the pork and one of these sambals I'm gonna dip it in my favorite one things using the chip. You're gonna put the meat in there I'm gonna load up a chip with some of these pickle veggies right here That's the rice in there. There's something about eating with your hands I feel like you get more in touch with the food to a certain extent. Oh, hell yeah Palms start sweating up and then it adds more flavor to your food So as you as you're eating more spicy food, you're sweating more your hands are sweating That's next level. That's very traditional Nels food gonna taste like basketballs And things gonna taste like whatever lore he was spinning on I'm going in That's good Just think about I just a pineapple chicken one thing I really like about the food here is that you could pair it With pretty much anything and it just tastes really good. You know, this is like a fermented soybean cake kind of thing Okay, so this is like block chopped up. It's fried Tempeh Mmm. Oh, wow. I like that. Oh my house had a very strong nutty taste. Yeah, tell you this You guys want to feel alive? Maybe you guys are going through a lull in your life You guys are just feeling like everything's playing come get Indonesian food wake you right up Another thing I like about doing the feast style is that, you know, we just have random friends rolling through Kasi And I got to introduce you guys to one friend. We got Clarissa. She is from Indonesia from Jakarta You familiar with all these foods So this is even a style of food that not everybody eats because you haven't even had it that many times Indonesia is a really big country. It's the fourth biggest country in the world Yeah, just like America is a really big country and there's a lot of variety from neighborhood in neighborhood That's the I am Rujak right there grilled chicken next to that is the Little Bilado, so Bilado is kind of like the Chili's relish So this is a fried egg, right like a fried hard-boiled egg It's a hard-boiled egg twice. Yes twice cooked You know Chinese do twice cook pork as twice cook that open Wow, oh no, that is a little authentic reaction from them. No, you love hard-boiled eggs So good Yo, I don't even know I've ever seen an egg with a bigger yolk Well, I'm ready to read the I eat the I am. Oh my gosh, the chicken is just falling apart like yo Wow thing yeah, you asked for something that was of native Indonesian Pellets yes, oh man first my hand. Oh, you know, I'll join you thing. I'm good. I'm doing this is Okay, it's got three different kinds of red chilies in there and it's russet. So it's it's up there Sambal by Jack Deep red deep red like the chili taste is really flavorful off top But I will say right when the back of my throat it would numb So I'm numb right now in the back. Okay, really? I like that rush out first. Yeah It wasn't like hot ones like trying to shut you down It was very hot, but still with the taste like trying to be very tasty and I would say very enjoyable Okay, all right, okay Yeah, the Balinese corn still get this corn That sounds good sambal butter man That roasted flavor No, the butter is kicking bro. No, yo, that's spicy But the spiciest bite because I had that the chilies on top. Yo, you guys this lewaton feast was amazing What was your guys's favorite thing? I like the different variety of sauces that comes with the meal You have your options about what you want to eat for the meal. I like the egg man The egg that's like the first time I ever ate an egg that style. Yo, I'm never mad at fried chicken And that was my favorite. I think this goes well with all of these sambals But did you know this is not even all that we're gonna try today Because they got some dishes crazy They got some next level dishes that we material that we have to have here at Kasein We got some dishes at the next table. We're gonna go over there and it bomb Okay, we got some other dishes here that we are trying I've never seen these look really fancy. So what do we look at that man? You already see in the tempé now We just kind of elevated it a little bit more. That's a lamb curry That's a lamb neck very meaty. Oh man. That's a very specific part of the lamb Like he's a lamb neck. My head chef eats go a lot of the Thai influence. So the curry is very Thai but what you have here very delicate is a snapper ceviche the sambal matta is one of the other samples It's a raw sample. So you got the lemongrass shallots red chilies and Lime you can still see a lot of the traditional Indonesian elements in this even though this probably doesn't look like Traditional food. Yeah, this is made in-house. It's made in-house grilled bread grilled bread guys toast Have you had lamb neck before? Nelson fang lamb neck ever. No, I've never had Slab with a mushroom here. Cheers Cheers I definitely see the Thai influence kind of got that like coconut. Yeah, the skin is super super Tasty and it's super soft on the inside. It's so good. This is skin on the outside was crispy But the inside wasn't overcooked trying the raw sambal ceviche. I love sambal matta, man No, you guys the Asian ceviche almost tasted like Peruvian but more Asian We got Zach here. This is the pan seared premium striped bass with the sambal matta verb salad Pickled kumquat. I think it's star fruit if you're lime oil. Seabass kick as I a seabass That's my favorite line to ever have seabass in it. It's all a star fruit. What's a sea bass? Star fruit seabass? What's a sea bass? Oh Good. I really like that The lime sauce it's some of that big goring here. This is a fried duck This one yeah, okay. Yeah, that's right because when you first crack it for the table show show like is that duck is that chicken? Is that the duck or the chicken? Oh my gosh. Oh, I'm packing this duck bite right here anything else Should I sprinkle it with some lime sauce on this boy and that sauce and a sauce? I spread on it. Sambal Ijo is actually my favorite sambal that I found out so far. No good. Oh my god Mmm, I love about the fried birds that we had today. The batter was not too thick Like there was really not really any batter at all. Oh, yeah You can do some heavy lifting. You can make a lot of things good. We had a feast Sure did. What was your favorite man from this round? I'm gonna have to say The duck the sauce plus sauce the sauce is crucial. I was a big fan of the lamb curry I see walked into the building like where's my duck? No, the lamb curry by far I think that I was actually really feeling that star fruit a man I got to go with the Duck, what are your major takeaways? I definitely would say that this is the upper Indonesian food the way they presented back home wouldn't be as presented as this way This is my legitimate first time eating Indonesian food and I've got to say, you know It kind of blew my mind. My major takeaway is that you know culturally Asians got healthy good food I would say there's a lot of flavors, but I've never had it put together in this way before Man, I love to see how the cultures are interconnected and you know We were talking about like the similarities between Thai Filipino Indonesian I love to see it because sometimes I think about the similarities sometimes between like China, Japan and Korea And there's so many like loan words and shared dishes there, too But at the same time really its own unique identity a lot of people don't realize that Indonesia is a huge country There's a lot of islands. There's a lot of people Forth most populated country in the entire world So if you think about such a populated country, of course the food would be diverse and delicious All right, everybody Thank you so much for watching that Indonesian food episode man.
