todays episode I will exploring one of Indonesia's
favorite delicacies
in Indonesia there's two things that Indonesian people cannot
live without rice and noodles
at my first noodle spot this eatery has been serving
mix karet since 1970 in Jakarta I'm Marisa Nicole now let's get this noodle
culinary started
miss I have a question
mie karet is originally from what city?
from mangga besar (prominent area in Jakarta)
really? yes...
first on this noodle series is Bakmie Karet and I believe karet means
rubber so I'm guessing the noodles that I ordered our rubber noodles and just by
looking at the texture they do look very thick
and whoo.... and whoo... you can
definitely tell that they are rubbery
look whoo.. and ooh... I can't wait to try and
they are topped with all these green onions
ooh.... mmm.... it smells so fragrant
and then another thing to mention is on the top
is bits and pieces of chicken and it is organic chicken so ayam kampung
and they give you a yummy broth on the side
this is something that I noticed in
Indonesia they give you the bowl of noodles mixed with the meat and then on
and usually on the side it always comes with soup
a side soup
lets eat guys
whoa.... I cannot get this
whooa... this is a huge chunk and you can tell that it's
a little tough so I'm gonna try to eat it first
they're definitely rubbery
and its too dry
I am going to add a little bit of the soup
they also have
wontons inside and green vegetable and I am going to pour a little bit of that soup
to add a little bit of wetness to it
and hopefully it makes the noodles
easier to eat
oh... yeah... that is better
whoa... mix it up
Wow
mmm... that is good I definitely love it with that broth
the broth is really light
but it just adds a little bit wetness to the noodles and it makes it a little bit
more delicious
just the broth of the soup I think it's chicken
broth which I like it's really yummy and another thing is they have a
lot of toppings they have white pepper here and a lot of different chilies look
at that
and then some green onions
I'm gonna add a little chili to my
noodles and I hope I'm picking the right chili hopefully this is not too hot
or not too spicy
mix all that spicy sauce in it give it some color
I am going to try the organic chicken whoa.... look at that
mmm... that is delicious
the noodle structure it's really rubbery but it's very unique and
honestly it's not as rubbery as what I thought it was gonna be looking at the
noodle texture it looked a lot more rubbery but adding that broth to it
makes it a lot easier to eat and that spicy sauce added with the
noodles is whoo.... it's really good
mmm...hmm...mmm..
okay here's that organic chicken
mmm... that is tender for organic chicken usually organic chicken that I've tried
is a little bit more tough this is tender
I'm going to add a little bit
more soup and then also add some vegetables to it and then they have some
wonton here whoa.... look at that
mmm... I am going to try that wonton
that's good
the wonton is a little sweet
mmm... but its good
mmmmm.....
you definitely need more of that soup to go with it and to make it easier to
just slurp those noodles
so one thing is if you put more chili sauce it always makes your dish
even more tastier
and more spicy
okay so I recommend for everybody to try this version of bakmie and they have
many locations throughout Jakarta so definitely check it out and eat it you
won't be sorry.... it is whoa... it is tasty
now I'm heading to try one of the noodle delicacies from Bangka Island
okay so right now he is pouring the soup broth right in here and there's a big pot
of the broth right here
he has the noodles right here they're yellow noodles
whoaaa... right in here... yes...
that is the broth right? yes...
okay so I'm at another spot and I ordered bakmie bangka and bangka is from
the eastern island of Sumatra
okay so it is a bowl of yellow noodles here and the
noodle texture is thin and they're curly noodles and they also give you a lot of
pieces of ground chicken ooh... that looks really good
some green vegetable also
there's a lot of bean sprouts ooo....
okay so on the side is a bowl of soup which is
chicken broth and looking at it
it looks a little oily you can see the first
layer is.. it looks like its oily
lets eat
the noodle texture is good I like it
and these are more automatically I taste a
more sweeter flavor than the first noodles that I tried
okay I'm going to add a little bit of this broth
okay and I did notice right over here they have tons of bottles of different
sauces there's different bottles of chili and then I believe this is a bangka sauce
I think a sweet soy sauce and then I'm not sure what this is right here
another bottle of chili this is the huge bottle and then salty soy sauce
I like my needles a little peppery
that is good these noodles are definitely sweet and then also the
chicken is a little bit sweet
I'll show you there's a little piece
mmm... yeah the bits and pieces of the ground chicken is sweet actually
basically this whole dish is sweet
I like the noodle texture
one thing I want to point out these noodles are more soft they're not
rubbery but they're not very hard noodles I would say it's soft
and because it's sweet I'm going to add some chili sauce to balance out that sweetness
just stir it in
oh that's a whole lot better mmm...
its so much better with the chili sauce
just alone it was a little bit too sweet now it's perfect I get more of a spice
going on with my noodles mmm...
I like it
actually compared to the first noodle place I tried I prefer the first spot
the reason is why is because this is more sweet and the other one wasn't as
sweet I prefer it less sweet but you definitely have to add the chilli sauce
to balance out the sweetness if you like sweet noodles you'll like this one but
in the first place it was just more of a neutral flavor it's worth trying
that was another good noodle dish from bangka and I devoured my bowl
I finally got to try noodles from bangka I got to scratch it off my list and try it
another culinary dish here in Indonesia
this wraps up today's culinary
adventure until then keep living keep exploring keep eating
bye
okay so right I'm gonna be reading the comments from the
comment section I picked a couple of comments to read the first one is from
Yohana Devy
how to stay slim with all the food
you had eaten in Indonesia cuz I got my body weight for 2 kilograms just giving
a thumb up on your video
what 2 kilograms up by giving my video a thumbs
up Wow..... I mean it's really hard to stay slim in Indonesia because there's so
much culinary here but I definitely have to balance it out with like a little bit
of fitness and eating healthy once in a while like right now I'm having a
healthy snack which is asinan
it's not probably that healthy but
I mean it's not carbs
mmm...
the next one is from Sapi Terbang
this was very
interesting when I was reading it
FYI badak is rhino now in bahasa that's
why the logo is rhino now
and that's drink called sarsaparilla
fun fact: cap badak soda is already a hundred
years old the production of course not that bottle you drank there lol
and sarsaparilla is still count as different varieties of
root beer that's why they both have similar taste
after watched you now I crave some nasi goreng and cap badak
soda in the middle of the night welp poor me LOL
thank you sapi terbang for sharing this interesting fact with me I had no
idea when I was drinking the badak drink it was a product
that many years old 100 years old that's a long time and now I figure and now I
know why it tasted like root beer because it is a variety of root beer
it's a version of root beer and I really like it and thank you for sharing with
me I learned some really interesting facts from you thank you
okay this one
is from siran syach
I am acehnese and padangese man my personal
opinion acehnese dishes not as spicy as she told about
maybe an average level
of spiciness padangese dishes more hot more spicy
and let me tell you the
secret ingredient ssshttt... whispering
curry powder or curry sauce
okay so this is
really interesting I didn't really know that padangese and acehnese dishes
are that spicy especially padangese dishes are more spicy than aehnese I
still haven't tried enough acehnese dishes to know that padangese dishes
are more spicy but that is a very interesting fact and thank you for
sharing it with me and I wonder if that really is the secret ingredient curry
powder or curry sauce is it really?
okay this one is from Lah Mbuh
okay I'm gonna put it up right here so you can read it and basically what he was
telling me was that he worked in a Acehnese restaurant before
and working there they never shared the secret recipe of the acehnese dish so I
think that is very interesting
and a matter of fact if you have a secret
sauce a secret recipe that is smart because the owners or whoever owns the
restaurant is not supposed to share their secret it's supposed to be a
secret right even the staff doesn't know so it stays a secret that is so
interesting and actually it makes sense so thank you for sharing that with me
okay so I didn't have too many comments so I just picked a couple to share with
you guys but the next time I really want you guys to comment
so I can pick more comments to read I really have fun reading them and just
sharing them with you guys so make sure you comment I want to read your comments
so that completes this comment section and I will see ya next time bye bye
