Everybody loves meat that's been cooked for at least 12 hours in a rich beef gravy!
tonight we're taking you to a restaurant called Nook in Seminyak
trying some of their delicious Indonesian dishes
okay so we find ourselves at Nook with 3 delicious Balinese dishes we've
ordered Soto Ayam, Beef Rendang and Gado-Gado
All 3 of these dishes you
would find in most menus in the Warung's right across Bali but we have tried a
lot of them and this place does them the best a really cool thing about nook is
its overlooking the rice fields and on hand on a nice day when it's not raining
its postcard perfect as you sit here and eat your curry today is actually a
really good day for curry I'm going to try the Soto Ayam first now Ayam is
chicken in Balinese and Soto is soup. Now this looks a bit different has some
lemongrass ginger and garlic really really strong fragrances throughout so
it's really really delicious
that's so good
definitely some chili true here you can see there's a couple of strands of chili
it's a little bit of fragrance going in there a little bit of spiciness coming
through I really enjoy that now a classic thing with Soto Ayam is you
always get the half boiled egg I just love that I love egg in my soup that's a
really really cool thing
Soto Ayam is definitely one of the everyday dishes that you're gonna find
people tucking into on the side of the street or in the Warung's and it varies in
quality I guess we came here because it's as good as you're gonna get
they used bean shoots in here with these really thin I guess what I would
describe is like almost vermicelli or in rice noodles that just work it's a
really good texture in here they just mingle in together and you're never
really sure whether you're having noodle or being shoots so being a chicken soup
there Ayam Soup there is a little bit of shredded chicken throughout. Not enough to
sort of be overwhelming in terms of the amount of meat in there but it's just a
really good flavor like you think of like a childhood chicken soup this is
this is what I'm channeling from this thing right here
they have a little side of rice
that works really well the broth is so so fragrant with a little bit of rice
I'm not sure I wanna share this with you next up we'll hit the gado-gado
first thing that grabs me about the Gado Gado is it looks beautiful I've
always thought that about gado-gado it is a cold dish. No more talking
about salad you don't make friends with salad you just eat it
okay first thing he knows beautiful peanut sauce
but very strong chili I believe there's some lemongrass in here too
look my little friend mr. egg egg is in here too
again got beans shoots, shredded carrot and also some cut-up carrot in there too
have a little bit of like a bed of lettuce down low in the tempeh and the
tofu and orders marries together that peanut sauce is for me the star of the
show in here and there is definitely some poke in there that that's more than
enough chilli I lover
this is more than your average salad it is a meal and you can sit down and eat
gado-gado as a main course or just as a little accompaniment if you're looking
for a salad to share and you've got a group of you I would get a gado-gado
because you know every layer that you dig down there's something else I have
some green beans here and I believe it might be spinach or some other green and
tastes so good though
the thing I like about tofu
is the consistency and it doesn't really light you know it takes on flavor
it doesn't really bring flavor to the dish just sort of take on what's in
there so that peanut sauce this works so well with tofu did I mention the bean shoots
Beef Rendang - it's like someone needs to do a drumroll because I've been
looking forward to Beef Rendang for a while we've had great versions and some
average versions right across Bali definitely varies in quality come here
because this place just makes it so so good as you can see this is really yummy
gravy and it soaks up unbelievably with the rice
It's like a really rich gravy it's not too spicy you can get some really spicy
rendang around. I believe Malaysia have some really hot ones. But in Bali it's
not too overwhelming and the beefs been slow-cooked so it just melts I'll show
you what I mean you can see that there's just so succulent this beef
that just melts in your mouth I love spices and there's definitely some
cardamon in there some star anise is in there too there's definitely the chili
bit coming through I don't know what else is in there it's yummy they do it
well that is my favorite guys come here this is pretty reasonable in price for
what we're traveling on a budget and this is quite affordable for us to come
in and get a few dishes put them in the middle we just share them as we go get
the rendang that's just like the star
That's amazing!!
that is delicious peanut sauce is absolutely off the charts
So good!
I think we say so good on the awful! 🤣
tasty delicious
