Yes, Eggs on everything. Eggs are a good cheap way to get protein in many countries around the world. In the USA Eggs are a luxury nowadays. In the countryside of a poor country, eggs are the poor man's protein. If you don't have your own chickens in a poor country your neighbors do. Buy or trade for those eggs.

[@SetuwoKecik]

Indonesians' most popular protein sources are eggs, fish, and tempeh. But in 2000s chicken meat gets more affordable as well here.

That dad with the mustache got a great tongue! Lots of his analysis of the ingredients were correct just after tasting it the first time. I wish he tried Indonesian spicy dish since Mexico is known for their spicy stuff also. Something like fried chicken or fried catfish with sambal and fresh veggies AKA lalapan.

[@DenUitvreter]

He also picked up on the shrimp in nasi goreng. If that is because of the trassi, a fermented shrimp paste which is more like a general taste enhancer and amplifier, that's a really good spot. As the Indonesians in the Netherlands say 'no nasi without trassi'.

[@catbitmaster8216]

Gado-gado is usually just the fried tofu with vegetables without rice, so it really is more like a salad. The style I am more used to usually comes with shrimp paste and peanuts as a dressing. Also, on jellies in the es chendol, I would just like to add that, in Southeast Asia, agar (derived from seaweed) is usually used in place of gelatin, and has a firmer texture when the jelly solidifies (and we have a jelly desert often just called agar agar that can be flavoured with fruits, coconut milk, etc.) with a firm texture and stronger structure than, say, jello, for example.

Did you guys know in Manado (one of the city in Indonesia) we do have Enpanadas which you guys mentioned several times in the video? we called it Panada.

[@guest-eg3zx]

The difference is empanada has beef and peas as its fillings and panada usually uses fish and rice noodle or laksa

[@ynnos5555]

The Spanish & Portuguese being neighbors share some culinary stuff like Empanadas so it’s likely a Portuguese influence. In the Philippines & Latin America it’s called Empanadas. Panada is also sometimes used to described it informally in the Philippines. Depending on the region the fillings varies like beef, chicken, pork or veggies.

[@45yk4]

Yes and Manado's panada has a very soft deep fried bread as the pastry and lots of spicy, herbed fish as the filling. So so good!

[@KilanEatsandDrinks]

Yay, finally! I'm really happy to see their honest reaction! 👍 There are, in fact, eggs in that cake! 😁 I approve their choice of _bika ambon_ because it’s made with exotic spices like makrut lime leaves, turmeric, etc. and has a unique texture thanks to the addition of palm wine (if it's authentic). Combined with coconut milk, it makes the kind of savory desserts we prefer in Indonesia but might taste weird to foreigners. There are a wide variety of fried pastries in Indonesia, adapted from Portuguese, Spanish, Dutch, French, and British culinary influences: panada, pastel, risoles, karipok, etc. I won't even complain about the lack of authenticity in all their dishes because they had to work with what they have there. There must be a reason why they serve _gado-gado_ and _sate_ with rice, probably to cater to their market or because they don't have the means to serve the proper condiments. All in all, I'm just glad our papahs can try our food! 🥳

[@SetuwoKecik]

as an Indonesian hotelier training in Malaysia for 3 months, I dare say Malaysian rendang is more suitable to my taste. the chef in the hotel where I trained know exactly how to make it. I love how he put very thin slices of lime leaves to the caramelized coconut milk, making it more fragrant.

[@hanifarham9458]

Pempek is the general name of this food. I'd like to tell you a little bit of history of Pempek/Empek-empek. It came from South Sumatera and first introduced to public when South Sumatera's capital of province, Palembang, blessed with a lot of river fish, especially in Musi River. So, one day some Indonesian-Chinese merchant tried to make use of that fish so that it wouldn't go to waste. They took the fish meat and mixture it with flour and other ingredient, after that they make texture from it and then boil it. This food is categorized as an appetizer or snacks, depends on what kind of Pempek you served. The one that you served called Pempek Kapal Selam (translated as Pempek Submariner in English😂). Kapal Selam consists cucumber, shrimp's powder as condiment on top of it, and a larger pempek that filled with a whole boiled-egg. You can add yellow noodle (sometimes served with a little bit of rice noodle) if you like it, but their name will be changed as Rujak Mie/Rujak Pempek (Noodle Rujak/Pempek Rujak). Why it is called rujak? I'll never know for sure, in fact, that so-called rujak pempek is not even a rujak 🤣 (Rujak is a type of dessert/appetizer that consists of chopped fruit, typically tropical fruit like pineapple, watermelon, melon, cashew fruit, jicama, starfruit, etc and served with palm sugar sauce that sometimes can be mixed with chili). As for other kind of pempek, they typically have smaller size with so many kind of flavour and ingredients. I believe that anyone who enjoys fish stick or any processed fish food would also love Pempek as their comfort food when they are bored or else. So, come and visit Palembang if you would like to try a lot of Pempek variation 🤍

[@pakngah3715]

es cendol is a great summer drink, because its not too sweet, its made using palm sugar and coconut milk, along with the green jellies made from rice flour flavoured with pandan, hence the green colour (then it is strained using a form of metal strainer and then cut, that is why its shaped like an elongated droplet) premium versions with additional topping like jack fruits, beans, or even durians also exist

[@abwilliam6290]

Wow, they even got bika ambon! whoever did the research nailed it on the head, there's lots of culinary varieties from different regions. If you guys ever decide to do something like this again I suggest cuisines from eastern Indonesia, papeda from Papua, betutu chicken or babi guling from bali, rica/tinorangsak/woku pork or tuna from Manado, or the various soups (coto, sop saudara etc) from Makassar.

I like how different cultures associates ingredients differently, for example how the dads associates peanut sauce with peanut butter because that's how it was commonly consumed as a dessert-adjacent food, while in indonesia peanuts and peanut sauce specifically are more often associated to savory dishes. Another cases similar to this in indonesia is how breads are seen almost always in the same regard as cake, or cheese is a primarily dessert or snack ingredients.

[@ramandikaproject]

Some info about Pastel and Panada (Empanada): Indonesia also have the "Empanada" which we call Panada. Pastel and Panada have the same shape. The difference are in the ingredients Pastel: The wrap is more like thin crispy pastries, and it has vegetables fillings inside. Panada: The wrap is more like thick soft bread, and it has meat fillings inside (chicken, beef, or fish).
