1st Impressions Of Bandung, Indonesia 🇮🇩 (Better Than Jakarta?)

[@KenAbroad]

Bandung made a really good first impression 🙏 My previous Jakarta video where we explored the old port ➡️ kzbin.info/www/bejne/o6XWY5ipmtd5icksi=NUHJzrLGw24HBgrJ

01:40 Hi Ken, i think, that you had been to Georgetown / Penang, isn't it? Or also i have seen similar than this in Vietnam. At both places they have a similar version (passenger in front) but with a bicycle at the rear. Do these wonderfull Rickshaws doesn't exist anymore?

[@globomanni8407]

15:43 Not only in Indonesia, but mainly in the Muslim countries are more smokers than in Non-Muslim countries. That's what i saw after visiting 140 countries

[@KenAbroad]

Thanks a lot for explaining 🙏

[@oxoelfoxo]

i didn't know cassava leaves are edible! they don't contain cyanide like the roots?

[@rizkyachmad4605]

@@oxoelfoxo Yes, Indonesian people do eat cassava leaves, locally known as "sayur daun singkong." While cassava roots contain cyanogenic glycosides that can be toxic if not properly prepared, the leaves have lower levels of cyanide and can be safely consumed after thorough cooking, which typically involves multiple washes (3-5 times washes) to remove any remaining toxins and a cooking process that takes approximately 20-30 minutes to ensure safety.

Your open and friendly vibes are coming back to you through the locals Ken. You are cordial, respectful and trusting, people can feel that and want to share themselves and their country with you.

I would not have thought about combining those particular ingredients...cheese, chocolate, and peanut sauce but would definitely try it.

Hai Ken...!!! Long time ago I've been to Bandung (I think around 2009) and it's good to experience different culture... but I love to be in Solo and Jogjakarta more because it's kind of more "nature" vibes...

I'm curious, if you're sitting in the front, how do the driver see the road ahead when driving? In fact, almost East Asian countries prohibit smoking in public places, so the smoking population is really very small! The beef Randang looks delicious and it should have a strong taste! The peanut and chocolate toast looks delicious, I’ve never seen such a thick toast sandwich also! Thank you very much for sharing! 👍😄🙏

The driver seat is slightly higher, so he can see the road above our head

Actually “rendang” is originated from Indonesia. Even also “Batik” is also originated from Indonesia. Suggestion to you, you can try the kinds of food in each city of Indonesia by the same name but it has the different ingredients and so it has the different taste. Each area has the different style.
