Hi Marissa Iskandar and today I'm at a legendary place to eat Soto Betawi at a place called
Haji Mamat and it's a really popular spot to try this dish and I've tried it before
once I've tried it at the Jakarta fashion & food festival and I actually
entered a photo competition which I took a picture of Soto Betawi and I actually placed in the competition
but the first time I did try it , it was outside and the weather was
scorching hot
and so I didn't get to enjoy it as much
so I'm here again to eat Soto Betawi for my second time at a place to eat where it's really popular
so I just placed my order and my food just came out so just by looking at it it looks so appetizing
I mean I can already smell the aroma that is coming from all the
probably terrific ingredients so let's have a look
so right here is the
soto broth
and it looks really good it smells really good
Oooo... my gosh
ahhh.....
it smells heavenly guys now the soto broth
it looks like a nice yellowish orangy color
it looks very thick, creamy, and rich
so this looks like its action packed full of flavors and spices in it I can smell I think it's ginger
and maybe candlenut
candlenut in it and then I can smell almost the
coconut milk or it looks like it's creamy from the coconut milk and then right here
this is also the main part of Soto Betawi it is the meat which is beef meat, and it's just topped with
fried shallots
there is tomato and I believe
this is
chili
chili peppers
so this looks really good just by looking at it the meat looks tender
so we're gonna have to find out and wait until I take my first bite of this to see if it is really tender and
then also the way you eat it, you typically eat it with rice, which is nasi here in Indonesia
and then you can add a little bit of lime and top it in your soto broth to it so let's
try it, haha
so, this is Soto Betawi and Soto Betawi
actually originates from Jakarta and it is a native local dish here in Jakarta and
I'm at the right spot to try it for my second time and just by looking at it, it looks
amazingly good I'm so excited to try my mouth is already drooling because it just smells so good and
also, I did see a lot of people eating
the Soto Betawi with it is called ACAR
and it's just some mixed pickles and has carrots and onions in here
so I am gonna top a little bit off with my Soto Betawi
so I'm just gonna take a spoonful of it and
drizzle it on to my Soto Betawi
yeah....
okay, that looks good, oh it's really colorful
and you can smell that
fresh cucumber and it's gonna probably give it a nice crisp crunchy taste to the Soto Betawi
so I'm going to take my first bite of Soto Betawi
now
okay, so the first bite I'm gonna try the
rice with the soto broth and topped with the beef and a little bit of the acar
WOW..... OOOOOO......
MMMMM.....
WOAH...
WOAH....
I'm having a food orgasm, if you can have a food orgasm this is what I'm having in my mouth
the texture and combination of all the flavors is
unbelievably good
that was only the first bite
MMMM....
now I'm going to try the beef by itself to see how it is without the rice
MMMM...
Ooooo... man
Whoo, even the beef is really flavorful
it's really
mmm... it's really good
the meat is a little tough it's not very tender, but it is just enough for you to bite and to really enjoy it
it's good
WOW
MMMMM......
with the acar
with the soto it gives it a nice crunchy
texture to it as you're eating the soto it is amazingly good guys
WOW every bite that I take just keeps getting better and better
MMMMM.........
MMM...
now I know all of y'all watching y'all wanna eat this Soto Betawi because it is amazingly good
AHHHHH.....
MMmmmmm..........
mmmm.....
mmmmm.....
this is so good
MMMmmmm.......
I really recommend anybody that hasn't tried Soto Betawi you must try Soto Betawi I'm telling you
mmmmm.......
yummmm.....
mmmmm....
mmmm.....
its so good
amazingly good full of flavor
I can taste that the soto was cooked for a while full of seasoning and spices I believe there's some
garlic ,onion ,candlenut
and kaffir lime leaves in there
coconut you can taste the coconut the coconut
milk mixed in with the Soto Betawi is not too thick
it is still rich in flavor
creamy, but it is good
MMMMM.....
okay, so I typically don't add a lot of the sambal the chilli sauce to my dishes
but I am learning how to eat a little spicy sauce so just for my last bite
I'm going to put a little bit of the sauce
on
it
okay, so this is my last bite of my Soto Beatwi, how sad right?? its very sad
the sambal the chilli sauce gives it a nice kick to it
you can really feel the heat
to
of the chilli sauce mixed in with the Soto Betawi, I should of added it earlier
It's not too hot but it just gives it that nice kick to it that you need
okay guys so this completes my culinary food adventure for today and I tried a
amazing delicious meal that is Soto Betawi
so I definitely recommend for you to try Soto Betawi here at Haji Mamat
It is really good and it is located in Jakarta and it is a must try
