Look at that! Look at that! Can you see it? Alright, let's do it.
Time to pick up our Dahmakan order.
We got out order and it smells delicious!
So a little bit about Dahmakan, it's a
really interesting concept. They actually call it a cloud kitchen. So it's a
company that was a start-up from here in Malaysia. They give you a list of dishes
you can order from on the app. So it is about maybe six or seven dishes.
Maybe a little more dishes. You can order desserts. You can order drinks.
You choose what you want and you can even schedule the order ahead of time. So
that's what we did. They came at a perfect time. When it comes to mashups you
know it's kind of a hit or miss thing, right. So some mashups can be
incredible some mashups can be a little crazy. This one was just too intriguing.
It's like the best of both worlds. Beef rendang lasagna. Whaaatttt.
When you look at it, it actually looks more like a Greek
pastitsio because you have that layer of creamy
bechamel on top but what got our attention was just those shredded
lime leaves. Lime leaves is one of our favorite herb aromatics we're ecstatic to see
that. And shards of lemongrass I would assume. Yeah looks like that.
They're everywhere. Have you ever seen beef rendang lasagna with shards of
lemongrass and garnished with lime leaves on top. We're so excited to eat. Let's makan!
It's not too much noodle. It's too much beef rendang, which is a good thing.
This is a beauty. Look at that. Look at that. Can you see it?
Oh man this is amazing. Let's get down with this beef rendang
lasagna. I already see Jumi loves it. I'm excited. Let's get down. Let's get
that creamy bechamel bite with the beef a little bit of the noodle right there.
There's the bite. The perfect bite. Smells incredible. Why am I torturing myself like this?
Wow.
That's crazy. I'm totally not used to having that flavor of beef
rendang and lime leaves with dairy. That creaminess. So that's really interesting.
Gonna try also the beef rendang by itself. So this is minced beef you know
classic like you would see in a lasagna or a pastitsio. Let's try it by itself.
That is full of flavor with those lime leaves. These lime leaves are everywhere. So I like
this texture. First time having beef rendang in more of like a minced beef
kind of texture. And then you combine it with that creamy bechamel and it's got the
cheese here, but it's not too cheesy. I appreciate that. That was one of the things
I was a little curious about was how was it gonna taste with all the cheese. It's
a really nice balance of cheese creamy and then that aromatic beef.
This really is like blew away any expectation flavor-wise. It is excellent
It is amazing. Props to Dahmakan for coming up with this kind of idea. It's a
fascinating one.
What I noticed too about this beef rendang lasagna it has like a real
home-cooked kind of quality to it. And that is hand in hand with Dahmakan.
Dahmakan is supposed to have more of that healthier home-cooked kind of
flavor. So it's pretty cool their concept. They cook everything
in-house and then they deliver it to you like a Food Panda or Grab Food would except
this is coming from their kitchen. Really interesting idea. Also have Nasi
Kunyit. This one smells delicious.
Ayam rempah. Yeah so we've really eaten our
weight in fried chicken here during our stay here so far. We even made a whole
video about delivery fried chicken from local chains. Check the video out we'll put a card
right here for that. Yeah we got it with turmeric rice. The chicken - oh god the chicken and
shards of lemongrass. Maybe that's why we couldn't find lemongrass in our local
grocery store supermarket because they have it. Lemongrass is just everywhere in
here. The sambal, the pickled cucumber the sauce
The ayam rempah you know it literally means spiced chicken. Whole
chicken leg here. So you have that thigh and drumstick combined. Really nice it's
really we love the dark meat as you probably should too. So it has all these
spices on top see the shards of lemongrass looks like there's
coriander seed there too. To get the full flavor of this, you just gotta go right in
and eat it right off the bone.
Very nice flavor of that lemongrass. Got some scallion here, got the
coriander seed. It's not too crispy though but the flavor is there. Gonna take a
nice mound of this rice.
This turmeric rice is so good. It's so fluffy and we love that you get the little leftover
pieces of that fried chicken rempah on there. So you get the coriander seed,
you get the lemongrass, you get all the crunchy bits. You get all of it onto the rice.
That's how you got an even better bite.
Gonna try a little bit of this spicy sauce. Smells really good.
Has that kinda fishy smell. I see it looks like shards maybe of lemongrass in there too.
Mmm. It's got a little bit of sweetness to it too. Almost has like a
flavor of like sweet soy sauce like kecap manis kind of flavor. Mix them with a
little fishiness and then the spicy combine that all together it's a really
nice sauce. It's a little bit on the thicker side really nice
Adds a nice tangy crunch to contrast with the rest of the dishes it was a
really nice one here.
Without further ado. It's kueh time.
So I've actually have a crazy craving for
kueh for quite a while now. It's actually really hard to find on Food Panda or Grab Food.
Couldn't find anywhere that sold like Nyonya style kueh. So we were really
happy when Dahmakan had it on offer. So the key is too when you have
Dahmakan, it's good to order the night before you wanna get your food because
stuff will sell out. We've noticed I monitored it for a few days. Some of these would be
gone. We got well pretty much all the ones they had. We have nona manis, it's
the green one here that's made with pandan. We also have the nona manis
durian. Our kueh lapis. This is what's awesome about these kueh. So they are really
attractive looking look at that. Now we have our classic kueh talam here. Green
with the pandan. Really excited. Now which one do we try first? Gonna try this first.
I love durian.
But if for you it's otherwise you can try, but I don't think you'll like it. But I
love it. It's got that durian taste that coconut cream. Salty, creamy, perfect. Seeing
how much you love it makes me want to wait til the end to have it. Gonna try the pandan
manis first. Feel we have a lot of pandan flavor here. I kinda wanna
stick with that before I get to that durian. I wanna work my way up to the durian.
I feel you really smell that pandan aroma that coconut milk. Let's take a bite.
I love that coconut custard cream inside. That coconut custard cream in the middle
is so nice. It has that little saltiness to it which is really interesting.
Actually gonna go with the kueh lapis next. So if you saw in our video - our New York
City Malaysian food video up here. We actually ate this like savages when we
first tried it. But a lot of you in the comments told us you can feel it layer
by layer and that's we're gonna do this time. So that first pink layer tasted more
like rose syrup kind of taste. This white layer definitely has more of like
has a bit of coconut but the rose syrup flavor is really strong here.
This like a mahjong. A mahjong stack. Do you agree?
You got the top layer here is more dense. It's actually heavier and the bottom
layer is bouncier. So the white layer a little bouncier than the top.
That bottom layer is giving it the saltiness. Mm-hmm. What's nice about kueh is the sweet salty combinations.
It's perfect. They're not too sweet It's time for the moment of truth here with
this durian nona manis. You really smell the durian when you get a whiff.
You taste all that durian in here. It really is like biting into durian.
It is perfect durian flavor. Intense. If you don't want to get an actual durian if
you want to just get a really strong flavor of durian and have it mixed with that
coconut cream, order this. It's delicious. This one is the favorite. It's really good. It's like packed.
Great Dahmakan experience. We're really happy with our
meal. Definitely not gonna be the last time we're gonna have it to order
from there. We got our savory, we got our sweet. If you're in Malaysia, let us
know have you ordered Dahmakan before? We're not being sponsored by them for this video. Nope.
We just wanted to really give it a shot and order a lot and review it. So let us
know in the comments. Have you ordered from Dahmakan before? If you have, let us know
what's your experience been like. What are some of your favorite dishes you've ordered
from there.
And thank you to Puri and Sue, Malaysian locals friends of ours for
introducing us to Dahmakan. Yeah they made a whole video about their Dahmakan order.
Check them out!
Thank you so much for watching, guys!
