i really have a feeling that the area that we've come to for today's video is an expensive area
and i feel like my ten dollars is not gonna go very far
and the reason i think that is, well, as soon as you see a tesla parked in the area in indonesia
well you get the feeling it's gonna be expensive
okay good afternoon guys and welcome back to jakarta
before we start today's video i want to say a quick thank you to rachel and christopher
the newest members to my youtube channel
now as you can see right behind me i am walking through the streets of jakarta here
very typical no sidewalks
now for those of you that do live in jakarta you might recognize the area
so we are going to be exploring PIK today
so PIK is basically the new version of chinatown here in jakarta,
it's located right in the very north end of jakarta
and we're gonna see how far ten dollars can go here in jakarta
now i expect this to be a sort of expensive area,
so i'm not sure how far my ten dollars is going to go
compared to
if we were saying to go out into central jakarta into the street food markets down there
so we are gonna walk around chinatown, explore, see what there is to do here,
what there is to eat and then we're gonna dive into some food
this is a really cool area got a lot of chinese influence for obvious reasons
but i'm just looking at the prices on the stalls, roughly about 30k - 35 k per plate
i think we have found our very first dish that we're gonna be trying today or tonight
sorry forgot it's already night time
but i think we're having a breakfast dish, breakfast ready 10k or 15k, or 12k?
that's really affordable!
oh, they only have this one starting from 12,000.
so found some new friends today and Anastasia, remember from the last video?
let's see what we got!
so basically this is all vegetarian
we have cassava leaf and then we have cabbage,
with like curry cabbage and then we have the jackfruit
okay and then some potato crisps on top
that's really good
i feel like a lot of it, oh my god, whoa i didn't expect that, wow
i feel like a lot of the indonesian dishes at least it has a lot of like similar ingredients
like the rice, the spiciness yeah and the vegetables too
oh wow, with the chips!
i don't know if i mentioned this this is all vegetarian which is very uncommon for me
because i typically love meat, pork, beef, chicken
this is all basically potatoes rice jackfruit and cabbage and cucumbers
all right
all right guys we are off to a good start, that was a lot of food actually, surprisingly
i don't know how i'm gonna finish off the day without eating ten dollars worth of food
so wish me luck! i think we're gonna now head out leave here this area
because a lot of this area is chinese influenced indonesian food
so we're gonna head back to the original market where we saw the Tesla
because a lot of that area has more indonesian, more local cuisine
and that's exactly what i'm looking for to eat today
we gotta walk through a bathroom to leave here, wow!
the entrance to this place is a bathroom!
why don't they have a regular entrance
i have no idea they close it
so just out of curiosity, is this the very first place that's going to flood if it rains?
no, I mean.. not really
you think it'd be the very first place because it's so close to the sea
they have the pumping system
interesting
okay so next thing on the list is going to be soto betawi
you guys a lot of you recommended that and we found a little stand right here,
cost 50k total so we're gonna go ahead and try it
roughly we've spent so far about 62k overall
so while we're waiting for our food to come out, we're gonna go ahead and find something to drink
maybe some juice or something, - something refreshing
so we'll see what we got here
oh they have like fruit soup
it's like fruity soup
yeah you actually ate it with Kintan! - yeah i had this with Kintan, i remember that
that let's do apple & melon
oh it arrived whoa that's a lot
so you said this one's more expensive, why?
because they use milk. - regular milk instead of coconut
it makes it more expensive okay,
probably the area as well
okay yeah! - fair enough right? - yeah!
so typically how much would
it typically cost then? - maybe 20k - 20k for this
but because it's got regular milk instead of coconut milk and we're in PIK,
it cost a little more
okay coconutty, this is not spicy
no? - no. maybe i haven't put enough sambal, we're gonna go a little braver
i mean it's pretty thick
yeah the sweet one
okay that's better
it's a little more spicier
i really didn't taste the spiciness the sambal on here, no, i didn't taste it
they put in like thick skin, right? what is this?
that's the crackers. - crackers?
it's called emping. - emping? yeah! - okay.
and chili, which i can't taste for some reason
and what's beef in bahasa? -sapi
sapi? okay, and sapi. but yeah, it's got all kinds of vegetables in here
carrots, spring onions, coconut or not coconut, just regular milk and beef as well
really good! i'm assuming beef broth?
this is probably the best soup i've had here
in indonesia. - no way? yay!
because i've had bakso, yeah bakso is literally my favorite
and then soto ayam too, but this is number one so far
okay good!
ugh, i regret biting into that chili
the apple juice is really good though, wow
okay while we are heading out in search of our next dish
one thing that i've come to love about indonesian food though,
is that they add a lot, well not a lot, of spice to where you can't handle it
but they add just enough spiciness to the dishes to where your mouth is feeling pretty good
i accidentally ate a chili and oh my god, i was crying
do you want any like organs? - oh yeah sure, i'll whatever.-okay
it's really really cool how he's making it so he's basically spinning it with his hand
and then he's dripping the batter on top of it as it's heating up
and just swirl it around with all the ingredients
so he's putting in cheese, condensed milk, and chocolate sprinkles
and then he turns the handle as it spins around and heats up and then he flips it over
basically like a pancake almost, so cool how he does this!
thank you, let's go! - let's go eat
all right so the ten dollars is completely gone
we've ordered all the food that we have in front of us is all that we have left to eat
so we have nasi pedas, right? - satay padang
what is this one again? - es poding - es poding!
and the last piece is the lekker. so these are really popular among children apparently
and really affordable only 2 500 per piece,
but you got to get 10 of them so i'm eating three of them
and yeah let's go ahead and start eating , I'm hungry! i'm still hungry!
yeah, so these are beef skewers
this includes cow tongue - and usually also intestinal
and maybe intestines sometime, i'm not sure what's gonna be in this one now but
okay so i know exactly how to describe this, the sauce literally tastes like gravy
yup really good love this actually. this is actually better than satay back in bali
- no way? - yeah. - yeah it's like a different type of satay
like i've had in bali satay ayam and they've had satay babi
yeah but this is better
and this costs 25? - 35 yeah highly recommend this one as well
all right i'm gonna start this dessert before it melts away
okay so we have nuts, we have chocolate sprinkles, and what is it?
it's the coconut ice cream basically and then the tapioca and some bread as well
it's really! good! - yeah? it's really really sweet though
yeah you have to eat it until like the bottom
oh okay so i just tasted the top when they just taste so sweet
i can't get to the bottom, the spoon is so tiny
what's at the bottom?- that's from tapioca - tapioca? - yeah tapioca
that's so cool! - they can make it from agar agar as well
i can't describe the texture
they put jello, bread and ice and a lot of sugar, so i'll be awake probably until midnight tonight
because i ate so much sugar tonight
now the very last thing is lekker, i was waiting for her to say so i can repeat it
so it looks like a crepe almost, with some chocolate inside, some cheese, I believe
condensed milk yeah i forgot about condensed milk
it's really crispy yeah, it's like a sweet cracker and more sugar exactly what i need tonight
and only 2 500. - yeah, each
all right guys so that is going to conclude the food night
i am so full i can't eat anymore, i'm so glad i didn't eat this morning
this place is actually a really cool place to come out
it's really modern, really new and there are so many options for food here
and they're pretty affordable
now i'm sure you can go down to central jakarta and get it for much cheaper
but today we had an awesome time here in PIK and the food was amazing as well
now they've got everything from indonesian cuisine to korean to chinese food
they got a few beer stalls out here as well and juices and desserts
so anything you can really think of they have it here and it's very affordable
had an awesome time, the food was great
and we're now gonna head home, nice and full.
so i really hope you guys enjoyed today's video
something a little different, different area
highly recommend you guys come out to the PIK area, it's really new, very brand new
