today I'm gonna meet one of my
friends and we are gonna be trying barbecue here in Indonesia

Om Bule will be joining me today on this
culinary adventure
we're gonna be eating American food
so actually
Texas BBQ
that's right
where is Om Bule
hi...
hey guys
nice to see you
you too
we have been waiting for this moment
yeah.. we have been waiting to try BBQ
yeah
and where are we trying to barbecue at
well we're today we're at Biggies BBQ
yes
and I've got a lot to tell
well we both do
we've been waiting for this moment
yes
finally we get to try some good barbecue
exactly
and then also kind of compare it to back home
back home in Texas
exactly
Texas
so I'm gonna walk in right now
so i just arrived at biggies barbecue
and we're walking in right now
woaa... how excited are you
alright get ready
take a sniff
oh my gosh
it smells so good
it smells like barbecue
exactly
smoked brisket
hello
its a nice place
you can smell that nice barbecue aroma
and it smells so good
yea....
it feels like we are really in a Texas
barbecue joint
Biggies BBQ they have a lot of options on the menu
that will satisfy your barbecue craving
this barbecue joint owned by husband and wife
are serving up barbecue dishes here at Biggies BBQ
like smoked beef brisket
that is smoked in a smoker for minimal 12 hours then sliced and served
to heavenly perfection
also on the menu is their unique Texas inspired smoked barbecue pulled brisket burgers
that is a must try here
and like Om Bule said the moment has come
we are gonna try barbecue here
in Jakarta
that's right and we're not in Texas
right? no were not
we are from it
but this is about the closet you will get to Texas right here
definitely
when you walk in the aroma the smoke
yes
boom
it just hits you in the face right there
this is barbecue
yeah
you ready to try BBQ
yeah....
ya.....
its gonna turn her into a little Texan too
yes
lets get into it
okay so basically on the table we have
different styles of barbecue dishes here
and then we also have brisket burgers here
which is definitely unique
this is something that we don't really eat too often in Texas
no but actually what we usually do is we will take regular bread
and put the sliced brisket or chopped beef between the bread
yeah
and then
add either pickles, onions, or jalapeños and then with a cup of barbecue sauce
yeah
so but this is actually unique
and the thing that I actually liked about the concept
of Biggies here is they've taken a Texas specialty
smoked brisket
yeah
and they turned it into a fusion
they definitely have
yeah so they've basically they have adapted it to the tongue of the locals
and with the
Sambal Matah
that we have here
this is very different
very unique
and we'll go over this
and this is something you won't find in Texas as a side
usually you'll get like
Tabasco which they have here
yep
and barbecue sauce
they have barbecue sauce
and honey mustard sauce which is different
yeah
the story behind the
sambal matah is actually because it was a pickled condiment
okay yeah
and so according to the owner they said that the locals didn't actually like the pickles
because of the vinegar
oh
okay
because the bitter vinegar taste in that
and along with jalapenos and carrots and so on so they came up with
the sambal matah concept
which I think it's pretty cool and unique
I think so
I think so too
you ready
okay what do you want to try first
I'm like so overwhelmed
I think we will go ahead and go with the burgers
yes lets go ahead and go with the burgers
so right here we got the brisket burger
and they
have cheese, onion
caramelised onions
lettuce
and oh... my gosh that looks so good
woa....look at that
oh my gosh
lets eat
OMG....
Wow
WOW
it's so juicy.... it is....
it's very smoky
OMG...
l love the smokiness of it
yeah
I love how juicy it is too
my god I can't talk it's so good
I'm gonna try it with a little bit of the BBQ sauce
mmm
I'm shaking
are you really
I'm shaking... why?
I'm so excited
this is so cool
and when was the last time you had BBQ
omg it has been like seven years or something
I am so happy here
wow
mmmm...
omg
it's so good right
the brisket is really tender and it's very moist
it is just really good and it melts in your mouth
okay so we just finished the brisket burger and then we are moving to the big burger
and it is pulled beef brisket
wow
it's a hamburger with smoked brisket
yeah
and cheese
lettuce
cheese
everything you want in a burger
even onions
it's just really good and it's very crunchy
it is
from the lettuce
it's very good
there will not be any food left behind
not at all
I mean I can just eat it with my hands
next we're on to the next entree here
which we have is
I'll start with the good stuff here
we have smoked pulled lamb
okay
then we have the smoked brisket here sliced
coleslaw
which is all time favorite
mm-hmm
and mashed potatoes
yea the pulled smoked lamb lets try that
ready
wow
it has no gamey taste to it at all
no not at all
I mean you wouldn't realize that it's even lamb you'd think it was smoked
chopped beef or pulled beef
that's what I was thinking
it tastes like smoked pulled beef
it's so good
and it's very tender as well
now lets try some of the sides
yeah try the sides
so let's try some coleslaw
and this is pretty common in the states
we eat coleslaw with barbecue on the side
yeah it's like a must
yeah it's like a must coleslaw
lets try
I mean coleslaw is coleslaw you know where ever you go
but uh definitely
fresh-tasting
and a little bit like tangy almost
you can taste some black pepper in it
mm-hmm
you can taste the black pepper
I'm sure
there's some other spices that is probably secret but they won't tell us
but it is good
okay let's try the potatoes
oh my gosh
look at the gravy
oh.... I know
the color
they nailed it
Wow
that's good
they nailed it
yeah
they're not too creamy
yeah and you can tell they're freshly prepared
there not
like those
like the instant powdered mixes
the instant potatoe ones... the betty crocker
this is so good
and it definitely complements us eating the barbecue it pairs really well
so now to one of the best parts we've been waiting for
yep
brisket
okay ready for this
let's try it
don't put any sauce on it we have to try it by itself
we gotta to try it originally
oh my god it's so moist and tender
it's just keeps falling apart
so flavorful and melts in your mouth
it falls apart
Wow
and it's super flavorful without any sauce already
like honestly you don't need any sauce
that is how delicious it is on its own
the worst thing to do is just put a lot of sauce on it
but again it's personal preference
alright
so next we're gonna try the brisket here with the sambal matah
yeah
okay
which everybody knows well not everybody but a lot of our viewers know it
sambal matah actually comes from Bali
so we're gonna actually
this is kind of a fusion in a sense of smoked beef brisket Texas style with sambal matah
okay let's dig into it
and this is super unique
I've never had barbecue with sambal matah or chili sauce actually
so it is definitely unique
let's dip that in there
there you go
yeah
I'm gonna do it this way
and then I'm gonna put it on here
okay
you ready
ready
it definitely gives it a twist
a twist of BBQ
it's got a kick
a spicy twist
it is spicy
alrighty so we got some barbecue chicken right here
with a special marinade and we also have some macaroni on the side
coleslaw as well and the brisket right here
but we're gonna try the barbecue chicken
you ready for it
I'm ready
let's get into it
look at the color it's beautiful
you ready
okay
the skin is usually the best
oh and it pulls apart really easily
omg
it's super flavorful
you can taste the smoke
yea
and it is juicy inside
very juicy inside
mmmmm..... wow......
I want to try the honey mustard sauce
wow...
very tangy and it goes good with the chicken
yeah it does
it does
but honestly I like the chicken alone without any sauce
yeah
it's so good
the marinade on here is really good and the chicken is juicy like Om Bule said
I asked them earlier they do a dry rub on the chicken itself and then they smoke it
I don't know how long they smoke it for
but my goodness
this is a classic side dish
macaroni and cheese and this is very similar what we eat back home in Texas
o definitely
it's like you have to have mac and cheese with BBQ
let's try some
it's so creamy
very creamy
mmm that's the way I like my mac and cheese
the cool thing about it is the cheese is still it's very creamy
wow the kids would love this
even we love it
mmmm......
and the next best thing
that they have here is home-cooked chips chips
chips
okay this is different
potato chips home-cooked potato chips
okay chip home-cooked
yeah
that is good
it's really good
super crispy
wow
this is good
they should sell these by themselves
mmm
bag them up and sell them in the retail store
okay so right over here we have beef smoked tongue
you ready for it
let's go.....
it doesn't even taste like tongue
no it doesn't
I get a smoke flavor that takes over the tongue itself
so it tastes like beef
beef meat.. tastes like beef it doesn't like tongue
and I don't like beef tongue at all but I do now
so you'll have another one right
I am gonna have another one
okay you're going for the sambal matah and I'm going for the traditional barbecue sauce
yeah
Wow look at that
let's enjoy our tongue
look at that omg....
amazing
so it does come with some toast here
so we got some toast served with some mashed potatoes
you ready to try the toast
you know what this reminds me of
except it's not Texas toast
Texas toast is usually really thick
oh my god
this is really good
this would so make a sandwich for lunch or even like breakfast
also on the menu are Biggie's barbecue
huge dino sized smoked beef ribs that will leave any barbecue lover speechless with one bite
look at that
look at the color it's like nice and red
it's falling apart
yes so tender..... so tender
super tender
should we lick it first
oh my goodness
wait I need a moment of silence
just enjoy it
don't put any sauce on this
just eat it like this
it's really good
it's really moist and tender
and it just really melts in your mouth
if you thought the brisket melts in your mouth
well the ribs out do it
this really melts in your mouth
and they only have the ribs on the weekends
Saturday and Sunday
so its the only time you're gonna get these ribs here
so you'd better get in here
better get in here on the weekends
you definitely taste the smokiness of the ribs
right on the outside
my breath is gonna be like smoke now
so are we in Jakarta right now eating barbecue
it doesn't seem like it
is this real
it definitely doesn't taste like it
am I dreaming
all we need right now is like some country music in the background
and with the barbecue sauce its so complete
I can't even describe it
you guys just gotta come in here and try it out yourself
yes definitely
if you've been wanting to try barbecue here in Jakarta you definitely need to try
Biggie's barbecue here because the barbecue is phenomenal
sensational
and it is Texas approved
yeah it's Texas approved from two Texans
okay so this is the bone that we pulled the ribs off of
and look how huge it is

I mean this are not just your regular iga what we call here in Indonesia
no
but this is huge... this is massive
come here to Biggies BBQ
