I am Marissa Iskandar and today I will introduce bakso
a national dish and Es Pisang Ijo to some of my friends visiting Indonesia
for the very first time
mmmm.....
I want to smell
oo yeah that one has a very good smell
o yeah
yea
its not spicy or anything? no its not spicy
its just sweet soy sauce
just add this to it
its almost like a little bit of mexicanish you get the chili you get the lime
I like the smell its nice
and usually here like before we eat we say selamat makan
SELAMAT MAKAN
so what does that mean?
lets eat, lets eat together
slurp..... slurp.....slurp....
mmmm........
how's is it?
mmm....it is so good
really?
its just surprising
honestly?
the texture is different
the texture is very different but the taste is excellent
mmm uhh...
mmm.....
so he's gonna add the spicy sauce to it
its in there, I usually regret this
lol.....
but it adds to the experience
slurp.... crunch....
ahhhh its gonna be hot
I already feel it
hahahahahaha......
normally I feel it 30 seconds after but when I feel it like right away
so I won't try to answer your question, okay hahahaha
the thing is its in the broth so it just goes into your whole mouth, so it just soaks up ya
it's not like if you bite one chili
it's just gonna be part of your mouth on fire here is the whole mouth just
I just had a little bit but
so what do you
think overall of this dish for both y'all?
I think its really good
Obama definitely has good taste
its good right?
so definitely these meatballs surprised me
but I like them and then when you throw the spiciness in there it just
adds another kick you know you get to experience the Indonesian cuisine in another way
cuz its they really like their spices so is this another way to enjoy it and
if you are not really adventurous it's really easy to eat and really good too
and then for me this is just one of my absolutely favorite dishes to have here
I love it flavorfully packed
its like ice cream in a cup
almost like rice with green I
don't know I can't describe I don't know what it is there's sauce there there's
this green thing it looks like theres I don't know what's in it but
okay I'll help you out so what it's called it's called ES PISANG IJO
and what it is its a mixture of shaved ice topped with strawberry syrup on it and
this white stuff over here is called bubur sum sum and it's kind of made from rice
flour and then they add sugar to it it's kind of sweet and then right here
is the pisang which is banana which is inside and then it's topped with green dyed dough made from
rice flour (correction sago flour)
it's pretty cool ugh?
alot is going on here I smell the banana
it looks really colorful
so if y'all like snow cones in the US I'm sure y'all like this, yeah it looks like a snowcone
because its shaved ice
you eat the shaved ice and you just grab a bite of the banana
alright so she is more of the sweet person
mmmm....
mmm...
hahaha...
it's cold? a brain freeze coming? yes
its waking you up
yes it tastes like kinda of like a milkshake almost in your mouth
really????
yes ya like really milky and fruity with the syrup it's really good thou
a very sweet taste , its really cold
now you try it Carlos
hahaha...
mmmm.....
yeah mix it together
mmm...
it will give you a different texture
mmmm... ehmm....
MMMMM........
It's way to big for my mouth
mmm... ehmmm... its nice right?
mmm... ehmmm....
hahaha....
I feel like its like ice with pudding maybe the texture
yeah it's like a snowcone it melts in your mouth right away you feel like a
milky taste and then when you combine it with the banana here you get a
banana taste and it just changes it up
definitely
mmm... ehm....
like ketchup and french fries like
you gotta have them together
hahaha....
its really good
no yeah I really agree
the freezing side is like woaahhh....
it's really cold ugh ? its really cold yeah
but its really good
I really like the white part it's creamy
yeah it's very creamy
what is it? rice flour or
its made from like rice flour and they
add different kinds of sugars in it to make it sweet
okay ,its really good
but the texture is so different
mmmm.....
hahahaha....
I really love the banana the banana is so good
mmmm... ehmmm....
