so let's just give it a go, i have no idea what to expect
that's not...
good evening guys! so we are currently at sudirman street
which is a pretty popular street food area here in bandung
and today we are joined by Rhett and Claire, we are going to be doing a collab video
and trying out 10 different food here in bandung
so hope you guys are excited, i hope you guys are hungry, let's head out!
so first impressions is pretty hectic,
there's a lot of vendors here on the sidewalks, on the streets
and as you can see there's cars and motorbikes driving through so you gotta be careful
watch out for them as you pick your food
honestly though, i think Rhett is gonna get the most looks tonight with his huge camera rig
-is that what we're gonna do? -frog legs!
-all right you want to? -sure
we're gonna try a soup version and a fried version
-oh you eat the soup version! -are you okay with spicy?
tidak pedas (not spicy!)
so we are starting off tonight's dinner...
how should i say this? with a bang, yeah!
-have you had frog's legs before? never?
i've had it once in a proper restaurant in the united states and
it tasted like chicken from what i remember
so let us see!
this will be a different experience because it's right on the side of a street
they're frying it in a wok and we're also getting a soup version as well
which is apparently supposed to be kind of spicy, so we'll see how we handle that one
honestly though this is really cool experience, oh she's bringing the food now
-that looks good! -yeah it looks good, looks like chicken
and she's now about to make the soup for us
so excited this is actually a big portion honestly i'm surprised
we're gonna first try the crispy version which he's fried up in the wok
-it looks like chicken, i think, so.. -it smells like chicken
it smells like chicken as well
-i really didn't expect me eating this tonight -especially for the first dish
first dish: frogs legs!
okay ready? one two three
there is a small bone in there, wow
chicken! can't tell the difference between this and chicken
-seems like claire is being brave tonight -yummy, it tastes like chicken! fried chicken!
-i didn't think you would like frogs! -kfc!
i don't know if we're paying for that but we'll find out in the end, i guess
because we didn't order that
there's so many frog legs here right now, this is too much
there's just too many frogs legs on the table right now, this must be like 10 frogs or more
see what he thinks about this
oh my god you can literally see the whole frog, like..
-oh the soup is really tasty -she recommended it yeah
not spicy that's good
literally it's chicken it tastes like chicken and it's not a spicy soup, it's a sweet soup
it's very yummy
-190 -190. why so much?
-i don't know, apparently this place is expensive
-a 100 each? -190.
must be a delicacy of bandung, or the foreigner price, yep!
i'm really enjoying all these food vendors that are literally lined up along like the sidewalk basically
so you've got a few bakso places you got a kari ayam back there
a dessert place right next to it, very traditional
and literally all the vendors pretty much know each other so really cool to see that
so one of the things we've noticed so far is that on this street specifically
the prices are a little bit more compared to what you would pay at a typical street food market
but maybe that's just because it's a pretty popular area
i mean frogs leg 200k for a street food, that's crazy!
but overall the two foods that rhett and claire have tried though have been pretty affordable 30k each
so you can definitely find affordable foods here on the streets
but some of them may be a little bit more expensive than what you would typically pay
all right so this is surabi, this one has specifically...
it's basically like a pancake and it's got looks like chocolate and condensed milk on it
-looks very good, it almost looks similar to martabak -oh my gosh you can see the steam
yeah it's like a fluffy pancake with chocolate and condensed milk on it
i love it it's really good, really good dessert
-what do you think? -it's delicious
-it tastes like martabak almost -a little, it's very nice
if you guys want to know how much the price is for these it's roughly about 10k less than a dollar
so we are now heading down to the main part of sudirman street
which is like a food court area with lots of little restaurants out here
and we're gonna see what's open because it seems like when we did a first lap around this place,
not many of the stores were open, so hopefully we can find at least one dish here
-there's so many places here
-you're getting all the looks! -yep, it's okay!
after getting bombarded with people asking us if we want to try their food, their restaurants
we've stopped at a soto place to get soto bandung, which i haven't had yet
and apparently in each of the different provinces, there's different types of soto
just a little bit different and cooked a little bit differently
apparently this one in bandung has a clear broth compared to like places in bali
so we're going to try that out see how it tastes
and for your reference this place charges 35k per bowl
oh wow yeah! yeah it's not what i expected
the presentation on this is on another level compared to a street food vendor
we got radishes, soy beans, parsley, maybe some green onion as well as chicken and the broth as well
so soto bandung is a little different compared to soto ayam that i've had in bali
in bali they put a lot of vegetables cabbage
and the broth is actually pretty similar except for this one it's a little more spicier
and of course guys if you want to try it come to sudirman street, it only costs 35k
-oh wow! wow! -it's weird right?
but it's got like a tough center like nuts
yeah this is sweet potato so it's got like the jelly outside
and on the inside it's like a tough like nutty flavor
you should try this! it might be different than what you had.
-oh! different! -good or bad? you like it?
-you can still taste the sweet potato though -this is yummy!
Rujak Ulek, that's how you pronounce, it looks delicious though
i have no idea what to expect
that's not...
hmm is it chocolate?
i don't know what he put on it
yeah i literally took a mouthful of it
oh indonesia! why do they add chilies on everything?
i can't imagine what would have happened if i said "yeah give me spicy"
even the indonesian is telling it's spicy
oh man! but the fruit is good! on the positive note
alright guys, so we just finished trying out the first five foods here at sudirman street
in bandung indonesia
