What's going on? Right now I'm at my good friend Mr. Hari's house.
An Indonesian guy I've known for a very long time. I've known him for eight years now.
And well,
I wanted to come out here and check out his new place.
And we are going to go have a little bite to eat.
I got good friends all over the world, even here in Indonesia.
And today for lunch we are going to go eat some babi guling (roast pork)
hello
So we're out here a little bit north of Canggu a little bit.
I've been in my villa for the past 3 days and haven't even left, so it feels go to get out.
I've just been chilling at home.
hello, can I see?
Nick, what do you want to drink?
ohh, uhh
I want to drink tea
That's my scooter
That big guy over there?
The Rolls Royce of scooters.
So let me introduce you really quick to Mr. Hari
I've known Hari for like 9 years now
On my first trip to Bali, this guy helped me out so much
He used to live down by Kuta, which is by the airport.
This was before Airbnb and Gojek, and so this guy
He found me a place, and let me crash at his place and he's just a great guy.
So this is pork, right?
Pork and some kind of soup.
We'll just say this, Hari is the kind of guy you want to know when in Indonesia.
maybe!
Itadakimasu!
And it's crazy, this guy is fluent in Japanese too
He's got 3 cute little triplets that live in Nagoya.
I taught kindergarten for 11 years in Japan
I never saw one set of triplets at my schools
Tons of twins
Never seen triplets
But this guy, he produced triplets.
That's crazy
Anyways, let's eat.
How is it?
Really good
let me wash my hands.
whoa that's really good
alright, this is the kind of food you have to eat with your hands, right?
never forget the mask, ya?
They'll fine you one million rupiahs if they catch you
and just like most Indonesian food, it's pretty spicy.
Maybe not for you
avoid this one
over here?
yeah, don't eat that one
do you eat it?
Yeah, I just ate it
it's not as easy as it looks
I have to practice
Ok, so Hari said to avoid this. But I think some of it got mixed in accidentally.
my mouth is burning
When you eat spicy food, and you drink a warm drink, the spiciness gets over very fast.
If you drink a cold drink, it makes it worse.
It makes it worse and longer
what is this?
I think pig liver
that's spicy too
Yeah, everything here is spicy
but the dry one maybe isn't.
this one?
looks like horumon (pig intestine)
intestine? I was right it is horumon.
too spicey?
It's pretty spicy man
that just tastes like a porn rind
I want to build one more bed in there, and this will be my view
that'd be awesome, right?
having this view right here? that'd be great
ok, one more bite
is the soup spicy?
not really
the soup is actually the appetizer.
and you have another warehouse over here?
yes, you see the pile of wood there?
so you might move? No probably just sometimes I'll be there and over here
just wherever you pass out you pass out
He let me stay at his place in Kuta 8 or 9 years ago
He had a bed downstairs, a bed upstairs, he had like a sofa that he slept on.
I asked him, "Why do you have so many beds?"
He said, whenever I get tired, I can just fall asleep anywhere
I was like, alright, that's a good point.
now my nose is running
Do you need a tissue?
I'm ok, thanks, I have this.
I still haven't even tried this, let's try it.
oh yeah that's good
this was the appetizer, you drink it first.
and then you eat the pork roast (babi guling)
actually, it's not spicy at all
it's got some kind of vegetable in it
Do you know this vegetable? it's actually from the banana tree.
Inside the tree, there is a soft part, and they slice it to make this
interesting, so this is banana tree and pork soup
Finally, my stomach is ok too
I had 'Bali Belly' (diarrhea) already.
your first time?
Actually, I got it in Jakarta, staying at my shitty hotel that had terrible food.
But finally, I'm ok. I wanted to come to Indonesia and eat food like this.
and not be afraid, you know?
gochisousama deshita
this would be Hari's humble abode right here.
a very humble man, but don't let it fool you, this man is doing quite well for himself.
He builds houses all over Bali
He's an amazing fashion designer.
Are you still making bags and things like that?
Can I walk around?
His place in Kuta when I visited 9 years ago was similar to this in a way.
This is his workshop, this is where he does everything.
It's his house and studio and everything.
He's an amazing drummer.
This is what he makes, out of crocodile and snakeskin.
When I went to his house the first time. There was this crocodile skin just laid out on the floor.
With paws everything. It was a sight to see for sure.
oh wow, it's a two-story place
oh and a little cat
Mr. Hari, he's an interesting man
Maybe later on we'll go have a look at one of his projects where he's building and selling a house.
We'll see if he can take us down there.
What are you driving?
A CB100, but it has a 150cc engine in it
So this is what Mr. Hari does.
He's the main man out here.
There are a couple guys down there, they're the ones that are leasing this property is what it sounds like.
They're building houses, they're going to build like a breathwork studio
Like a breath working workshop or whatever, kind of like the Wim Hof breathing method
He even said they're gonna build, maybe lease this land over here and maybe someday build a school.
They have families, they have kids, apparently, this is where they want to set up shop.
It's amazing watching them do everything out here.
Very different from Japan, very different from back home.
It's just all very hard manual labor
What were you explaining to him?
We're going to make the house with an L-shape
So we discuss how to make the roof.
and that would be Mr. Hari for you.
I had to introduce you to him.
Such an interesting character.
I think that'll be enough for one day
Thanks for watching, and I'll see you in the next one.
