 Oh! He did it first. I don't know why they would do that. What's going on everybody? Welcome to a very special Indonesian episode of Fung Rose Food. Now we have covered Indonesian food before, but there is still a lot that we have not covered. And we are back in the 626 with special guests Richie Lee and Tan Tang. Thank you so much for joining us. This video is going to be really interesting because we're not only going to be showing you guys some new dishes that none of us have ever had, but we're also going to be comparing dishes. Noodles and noodles, beef with beef, chicken and chicken. I have been to Intercarta before. From my experience, this place feels very, very authentic. Let's go! Thank you so much for clicking on that food video. I got to give a big shout out to our sponsor, Blue Apron. Blue Apron is a meal kit service that makes it super easy to get fresh ingredients and step by step recipes delivered to your door. Making it super duper convenient for you to come home and just put together a delicious meal. I think a lot of the reason why people don't cook is the whole preparation process where you got to go to the store, you got to home go buy a bunch of stuff. You got everything in the box. Today we are going to be cooking three different Blue Apron meal kits. We're here with Alfred. We're actually using your kitchen right now. So thank you for having us. Let's have a little competition. I am in charge of these sweet and spicy udon noodles. You are in charge of the cod and coconut curry bowl. For the competition between David and me, you're going to be the judge. I'm pretty hungry so... You're hangry? I am actually quite hangry. Well, let's see if we can help Alfred go from hangry to happy. A quaint little bottle of rice vinegar. Asian style aromatic. Yo, that Asian aromatics, bro. Make that just a fragrance. You sure? Because this looks too good. The hairs are actually standing right now. That's a meal. I'm going to stay right here in my kitchen and eat that all day. That was so good. And the judgment between these two dishes. When I first had this, I said, oh my God, that was so good. I got to give it to my boy right here. Let's try this beef dumpling. The crispiness is just taking it to the next level. Big shout out to Blue Apron for bringing people from hangry to happy in the most convenient way. And definitely check out the link in the description box below because the first 50 people to sign up will get $50 off their first two weeks of Blue Apron. And now continue to watch this video. Peace! This is an Indonesian product. It's made there. This is like the Indonesian vitasor. The tea, jasmine tea. Sometimes when you get tea in these type of boxes, they're overly sweet. But I like it's less sugar. Tastes kind of healthy. Mine is actually really good. If you've ever had the apple soda but without the carbonation. It's kind of like a maranellis. Yeah, it's like a margarine. Mine is the earthier jasmine that I've ever had before. Got it, got it. Alright, lemon. Cute. That actually does taste like VLT. So I pretty much got the Indo VLT. Round one is the Indonesian dish battle. We got me GM. I like the name. This is the me tek tek. The reason why they call it tek tek is because that's kind of the sound that the hawkers stalls make when they're selling it. When they're getting their hands to let people know that they got it. Tick, tick, tick. Alright, let's go on the noodles. Round one. This is really interesting because it's like a stew noodle. It's delicious. But my thing is that I would almost like to pick an identity. Either you're like a soup broth noodle or you're just a stir fry. It's kind of like a wet stir fry. I like the ambiguity. Alright, so we have the tek tek. That was the dish I never had. This is the me GM. I've had a dish similar to this. So this me GM is a little bit more of a dry noodle. But you have the soup on the side. We got two chicken noodles. I like them both. I'm rolling my first love, man. The me GM. Really? I'm with David. I'm with David. I'm going with the tek tek. The tek tek has way more like boom, boom, boom. This is like almost like two. I would say this is the me GM. Tastes like something you can definitely make at home. Yes. This one a little bit more complicated. I'm rolling with the tek tek. In the Indonesian noodle battle between the tek tek and the me GM. It's a draw. Here we have on my right side, we got beef rendang. Beef rendang. The classic curry of Indonesia. Okay. One of my favorite curries in the world. This is called the deng deng. Now this is a dried beef. So obviously it's going to have a different texture. Alright guys, this is the battle between the meats. I'll get a little bite. Oh my, I see why this is part one of your favorite curries. In the world. I've never had it like this. It melts in your mouth. Yeah, sometimes those parts of the rendang can be tough. Yeah. Deng deng. The deng deng is good. It's an interesting dish. I'm not going to talk about texture, okay? Obviously it's dry, it's not as moist and wet as the rendang, but flavor? It's up there. It's more tender than I thought it was. I'm going to go rendang because that one right there is part one of the top five curries. I'm rolling with deng deng. Go with the rendang. I'm going with the rendang. In the battle of the Indonesian beef dishes. Rendang's the winner. Alright man, we dive into the ocean because we got a battle of the fish. Here we have two of the same fish, both pampanos. So this one is the fried, although, and this is the grilled bakar. Look how beautiful that is. Fried pampano. Alright, I'm sorry man. That is a good fish. Wow, it is so tender. That was incredible. Here's the grilled pampano. Okay, okay. Where's the pampano? Wow, that looks different. So the fried one is softer because you know, when you fry it, it kind of keeps all the moisture in. But when you grill it, they had to cut the fish and then some of the moisture came out. When it comes to fish, I am really big on texture. This one was all sauced up and fried. It could come off being sometimes too soft and kind of mushy. Which is why I'm going with the grilled. I'm going with the grilled one too. I'm going with the grilled one. This one actually gave me a vibe of like eating with my parents. Alright, on the fish pampano battle, it's a draw. It's a draw. You can't go wrong with either. Alright, next up, we got the Indonesian fried chicken. I am premise. We are going to be comparing it to western style fried chicken. Yeah, off the bat, though, I gotta ask what type of piece are you guys? When it comes to fried chicken, I'm a thigh. You used to be a drumstick. I used to be easier to eat. But thigh meat tastes better. I'm a breast guy. I eat well, but you act like this. I love it how they put the little crisps on top too. Alright, one more. That's gotta be the best I am premise I ever had. You know what I love about a lot of Asian fried chicken? It's that it's not heavily battered. The juiciness, it was marinated. Did you guys notice when you ate the chicken? There's just like coconut flavor. Battled the I am premise, it gave the fried chicken. We just had to do battle with previous fried chicken for sure. You did it. This does not make you want to come here after watching this video. I just don't like it. It is that. Alright guys, the I am premise won too easily. So you gotta give it some competition. This is called I am mantega. This guy was like, no. I am premise is not the only Indonesian fried chicken. This smells so good right now. Man, the juice is flowing out of that chicken. This has a sweet butter sauce. What are you guys thinking? This is a tough one. I'm gonna go with this one right off the bat. The sweet butter sauce really did it for me. I'm going with the I am premise, the classic. I like the I am premise. That's actually one of my favorites. I'm going with the mantega. My first bite was better than my first bite of the creme. You know what? Draw. There's too many draw. I suggest a tiebreaker. Cameraman game has, okay, hold on. I'm gonna leave you out. Let's look at this one more time. Yeah. Try it. Try it. You're sexy like a bite. Come on. And down. Yeah. Between the I am premise and the mantega, mantega wins. You win. The next round is gonna be beef and vegetable. Wow. Now we got two different forms. Obviously this is oxtail and vegetable soup. Okay. But this is your ground beef and vegetable pancake. This is the martabar. Crayon. Come back. Round bar. Bite. I don't really like this martabar. Beef, egg, some vegetables inside. Really soft, pastry outer. That was delicious. There's a reason why they provided these peppers with this. So I'm gonna take a bite of each and then give you guys, you know. He did it first. Look at him. I don't know why they would do that. The um... I think you need some of the next dish. So the oxtail and vegetable stew is the saap buntai. It looks very hearty and healthy. Alright guys, let's sip the soup first. Just a little cinnamon in the beginning. Yeah, not the flavor you think. The oxtail was falling off the bone, man. Very different dishes. Hard to compare. Similar ingredients. No, yeah. I'm going with the martabar. I agree with David on this. I thought the pastry element was excellent. Excellent. I'm gonna go with the stew. I actually really dislike outer fried. I'm going with the stew too. It's so between the Indonesian beef and vegetable dishes. It's a draw. This is the cold Indonesian salad, the gado-gado. Meaning mix-mix. And here we have the kang-kang belikan. Okay, kang-kang. I've been overall impressed by Wong Jawa house. Bye. The flavor's there. I would have liked it to be a little more like refreshing tasting a little bit. I'm gonna say some opposite. I thought it could have been spicier. Very saucy. It was held down by a lot of garlic. Yeah. Let's see what's going on with the gado-gado. Okay, the mix-mix. This is a pretty different dish. It has a mixture of tofu, green beans, hard-boiled eggs, hard-boiled egg, lots of peanut sauce. And you're the only one here who has never had a gado-gado dish. What's your take on that? I would say it's good. I'm not sure if all the flavors blend together. I could taste everything almost individually, like the bean sprout, and the peas, and of course the hard-boiled egg, and then the shrimp chips. My thing about gado-gado is always that it has such a strong peanut flavor. And if you're not trying to eat that much of it, it is gonna be hard to eat a lot of it because it's all soaking in the peanut sauce. Okay, Richie, you're rolling with the belikan. The belikan. The belikan. The belikan. The belikan. Guys, we are rich, and I'm going with this one as well. The belikan. Guys, this might be the first time that it's a unanimous decision. I'm rolling with the belikan. Okay. All right, you guys, thank you so much for watching that episode of Fun Bros. Food. That was the very first time we've done a battle. A dish battle. A dish battle. I liked it. My major takeaway was that I've had Indonesian food before. Yes. But today, I had a bunch of dishes I had never had before. Yeah. So it just goes to show you there are so many layers of depth, and that's one tier and another tier. Yeah. So it was doped to leap another tier. I thought it was a really cool experience. After we were eating the dishes, they're so different from each other that it really had me like envision where someone would eat this in Jakarta, in Indonesia. I couldn't name one Indonesian dish before today. This was a good warm-up for us to go over there and set maybe a higher bar over there. I thought it was really cool to have this kind of battle one-on-one of the dishes because it kind of revealed something about each of us when we were defending ourselves of like, why this dish is better. So it was a really good conversation to have because sometimes when you just go in on food, we kind of talk about the food but we're not trying to convince each other and make our case for the dish. So I thought that was really fun. Thanks for watching that video. Subscribe to Richie's channel. Shout out to Tans. Follow them all on the social media down below. Turn on your notifications, please.
