Eating Mpek Mpek in Indonesia | Indonesian Food

[@adebachtiar8293]

Pak Martin, Kalau makan Mpek-Mpek, caranya makan dengan sendok, taruh satu potong mpek-mpek di sendok yang full dengan sausnya, masukkan ke mulut dan sendok sausnya lagi, baru di kunyah di mulut sama mpek-mpek tadi. Atau kita gigit mpek-mpeknya lalu kita hirup sausnya pakai mangkuk kecil, is the best! Saya orang palembang, jadi begitu cara orang Palembang makan mpek-mpek. You have a nice family.

[@emilyjane4524]

ah memories. first found your channel by watching this video. i fell in love with your family's personalities. kind, humble. Love you guys!

[@veeslatwilson709]

Your family is awesome, love they way they try different things in Indonesia!

[@DANMARK579]

qm jg awesome @Christiane Meygarani Slat 😍 😘

[@kasiati-uu5oy]

Welcome to indonesia mr....semoga perjalanan anda bersama keluarga menyenangkan n bs menikmati kuliner indonesia.....good job mr

[@andrian2727]

itu makanan khas PALEMBANG - SOUTH SUMATRA, bpk bisa brkunjung kepelembang kapan2...dsana surganya masakan melayu

[@dendymitem]

Awesome guys... I like it when "bule" keep an open mind about Indonesian food and culture. You've got there 1 more subscriber. Keep it up

[@MegaMalik90]

should've put the sauce more generously, Sir. Some people even use it almost like broth.

[@MartinJohnsonOffGridLiving]

Next time

[@ciputgal]

Yeah he said it exactly what i have in mind..😁

[@thepinkcarousel]

+Andyrfa Yup, it's actually for the broth not sauce. Also, although the broth is called cuko, but the original one is made using tamarind and not cuka (vinegar), so it's not gonna hurt your stomach if you eat a lot of it.

[@jumatulaini5695]

sekali-sekali jalan-jalan ke palembang... karna di sana asalnya mpek-empek.. itu kalo saya di sini (palembang) bilang sausnya (cuka/cuko) kalo warga palembang kalo makan empek-empek itu cukanya d seruput (d minum sedikit-sedikit)

[@tonieflca3031]

that's good food Mr Martin. Empek empek is made from the fish meat and combined with powder then steamed. For eating you just put the sambal empek-empek which is made from chili, palm sugar, salt, salt shrimp, and then terasi. Of course don't forget to add fresh water to make it be one.

[@andis566]

Ini sebenarnya makanan Asal Sumatra ( tepatnya sumatra selatan / Palembang ), tp saking terkenalnya makanan ini hampir ada diseluruh indonesia pak Martin , biasanya ada semacam sayur Tek Wan juga, kalau di yogya ada pempek bu kamto letaknya dibelakang toko ramai malioboro , saya orang yogya Pak Martin tp sekarang tinggal di Malang jawa timur , silahkan pak Martin dan keluarga jalan jalan ke Malang , ada banyak masakan enak di malang

[@tbputera]

I love your vids, subscribed! Your family is so adventurous for trying out Indonesian dishes and your wife speaks excellent Indonesian..

[@endarijiwandini9169]

mpek2 itu dari palembang pak. biasanya dimakannya roti ikannya itu sampai terendam di dalam kuahnya. karena di jogja mungkin cari mpek mpek yang enak agak susah ya. bisa dihitung pake jari. kalau di jakarta cari mpek mpek yang enak lebih mudah karena lumayan banyak yang jual makanan itu

[@dennychryzt7953]

if you like exploring indonesian food,.. you must try "jejamuran resto".. you can find all kind of food which made from mushroom/jamur... such as sate jamur, gulai jamur, oseng-oseng jamur etc... it's located in jalan magelang km 10.. ( you can search in google maps)... trust me,.. it's so delicious...☺👍

[@MartinJohnsonOffGridLiving]

+Denny chryzt Thanks

[@satya.atmaja]

+Denny chryzt can't agree more! paling suka sate jamur dan tongseng jamurnya.

[@firarottenapple]

pak martin, aku punya saran tempat jual mpek-mpek yang enak di jogja, namanya mpek mpek nyonya kamto. ikannya terasa banget, kalau uda siang bakal penuh . aku sendiri bukan orang jogja, tapi selalu beli di mpek2 ny. kamto. satu lagi, coba mpek2 kulitnya pak.... untuk tempatnya ada beberapa cabang, tapi aku sering makan di cabang malioboro. silahkan di googling aja pak. 👍🙆

[@MartinJohnsonOffGridLiving]

thanks for the tip.

[@ubanish]

if you like mpek-mpek fish cake (more of the tapioca/cassava (singkong) flour than the fish though), you should try otak-otak. its also kind of fish cake, but definitely has more fish in it. its wraped in banana leaves then steamed or grilled, eat with the sauce too

[@eugeniaherkamto6342]

Aloha and good morning guys! O my goodness, I missed mpek-mpek with sweet, sour and hot sauce..........olala.........

[@rasnahberutu2747]

itu pakai kuah.. sampai penuh dibuat... agar enak... kalo mau lebih rasa asli lagi beli mpek2 dari palembang... makanan mpek2 berasal dari palembang

[@foodiction256]

We love this video! more Indonesian food video please :)

[@nokegita]

Pak Martin, finally you've tried empek-empek :D that sauce's called cuka' (choo-ka') by the way. if you wanna try the best empek-empek in Jogja guy you could try pempek Mc Oji (Mang Ojik) in jalan taman siswa, it's next to pempek ulu mang pari. (not too spoil but, you can try both of 'em, ps: better place doesn't always have better taste :D) Salam untuk Bu Julie, Sarah and Seth :) thankss

[@안딘나]

yeay food video. saran pak martin, kan pak martin suka ke amplaz nah di situ ada empek2 nyonya kamto yang enak. klo mau yang lebih murah dan juga enak bisa datang ke mepek2 ulu bundar di samping mirota kampus ugm atau di seberang amplaz

[@remajasenja4098]

Pempek yang paling enak yah dipalembang, kota asalnya... Datemglah kepalembang sir

[@unknown-cl1yo]

Hello om martin,aku punya saran kalau makan itu harus berkuah,jadi semua nya harus tertutupi kuah,jadi disiram aja pasti enak,kaya yang ibunya bilang,dimakan dengan kuahnya.

[@MartinJohnsonOffGridLiving]

Oke! Terima kasih atas saran.

[@Donnykuntadi]

ya betul, pempek dipenuhi itu emang wajar.. tidak usah malu2 tuangkan kuah sampai secukupnya itu ehehe..

[@nurulcanada8664]

i really appreciate to all of you guys,you love love our food

[@mcbiwazowski841]

Itu bukan roti ... soalnya itu terbuat dr tepung sagu dan di rebus baru di goreng dan cara makan nya itu di siram pakai saus nya (btw itu bukan saus namanya tapi itu namanya cuka pempek) jadi pempek nya harus disiram banyak" sampai pempeknya rada tenggelam itu baru enak!! 👍👌

[@yoenikitchen3138]

pak martin dan sekeluarga hebat..suka semua makanan indonesia. sangat bangga.

[@bobnugh]

For most Indonesian, whether a restaurant has a tasty food or not could be seen from the number of the customer coming in. I personally won't gamble to eat at that restaurant like you did in this video, like where is the other customer?

[@bobnugh]

Oh and the sauce is supposed to be poured into the mpek-mpek like a little more than you did until it all covered.

[@poophim2590]

I have been watching your channel since last year and enjoying it. Your family seem so down to earth. I thought you and your family have moved back to the US. How long are you planning to stay in Indo?

[@MartinJohnsonOffGridLiving]

+Rizelle Elle i dont know.

[@yohanespanama6091]

makanan saya waktu SMP murah karena bisa di keteng (berat nettonya bisa di perkecil dalam plastik) dari harga sesungguhnya di ukuran piring bapak pada tahun 2004 yg lalu.

[@Yefaramifu]

Klo di palembang yg eeg namanya pempek telok klo yg kyk sosis namanya pempek lenjer, saus itu namanya cuko. If u want taste real pempek come to palembang there is alot of varian pempek, not only 2 like u were eat.

[@PeterID]

pak martin, kasih sauce (kuah) tambahkan yang banyak ke piring, more and more.. thats good

[@teddyagusdwilardi7277]

nice video sir, can't wait more videos from you & your family

[@enyongbae]

0:46 Tempatnya sepi. Tips pak, kalau tempatnya sepi dan tidak menyediakan daftar harga, jangan makan disitu pak, biasanya harganya nembak -__-

[@orion2089]

+enyongbae yaa ntar totalnya 400rb lgi

[@fransyosef4171]

yup betul sekali, tempat makan yang tidak mau menampilkan daftar harga menunya pada umumnya (tidak semua) harganya cenderung diskriminatif.

[@DANMARK579]

tmpt yg sepi mlh terhindar dari warung mkn dgn penglaris pesugihan yg rame tp dgn bantuan air liur&air kencing jin @enyongbae yaa

[@dodeehar6057]

Mr. Martin, how to eat pempek, you have to pour a lot of sauce into the bowl, so that the pempek is submerged, so each bite will bring lots of sauce, next time you have to try the Gaby brand, because the Gaby brand has more variants

[@nasrullhabib]

this food is from Palembang. A traditional food from my hometown. maybe one day if we able to meet each other. I'll bring some for you Pak Martin 😊😊

[@desyyo987]

I love Empek empek, my father is from Palembang so my mother loved to make them when i was little before i moved to United States . I am glad you guys like them but i can tell you guys still don't enjoy them so much it takes a while to get used to :-)

[@MartinJohnsonOffGridLiving]

It’s pretty good stuff.

[@ikahartawan1124]

tampaknya anda memang jatuh cinta ya dengan kuliner indonesia.... hahaha....empek2 is my fav one.... you should try es teler, es campurrr.... combro, misro, cilok dan lainya....

[@fakyu9346]

Sebenarnya nama aslinya adalah "pempek".Ada banyak versi pempek seperti pempek lenjer,kulit,keriting,telor,doss dan lain lain,dan nama cairan hitam yang pedas itu adalah "cuka".kalau yang dimakan Bu Julie dan Sarah adalah pempek "kapal selam" karena bentuknya yang besar.Cara makannya juga salah.Cara makan yang benar adalah tuangkan "cuka" ke dalam mangkuk,makan "pemepek",lalu minum "cuka" secukupnya saja. :)

[@sol9742]

Mpek-mpek / empek-empek / pempek are one of my favorites :) The ones with egg inside is called "Pempek Kapal Selam" (kapal Selam means submarine, idk why they named it that though, lol). The ones that are long-shaped with nothing inside is called "Pempek Lenjer" (read: lend-jair). There are also other varieties such as Pempek Keriting ('keriting' means curly), Pempek Tahu (tofu), Pempek Lenggang (it looked like omelette, but also eaten with vinegar sauce like regular pempek), and many more. I never heard or tried the ones with sausage inside (maybe that's the restaurant's special menu?)

[@luckyindo5765]

Finally u eat empek2. Itu makanan terkenal (famous) di indonesia.dari sumatra selatan. Hahha.. Bkn roti tetapi tepung campur ikan.

[@user-ws2zx3om8v]

Most delicious pempek in jogja is pempek ny. kamto. They open in ambarukmo plaza, jalan gejayan and many other places.

[@MartinJohnsonOffGridLiving]

Thanks

[@oliviareynata8023]

+Riding Java sedikit saran kalau makan mpek mpek enakny kuahnya di masukin semua

[@PransPuth]

Maybe you have to try Pempek Nyonya Kamto in Malioboro Street or somewhere else ... I think it is the best one Pempek in Yogyakarta. Pempek is not bread but it called 'kudapan'. You have to add more sauce as if you eating soup.

[@icanhc]

impact-impact

[@chandra7681]

+icanhc lol that's accurate

[@nurultrianingsih2215]

+icanhc Hahaha.. for a second, I didnt know that he actually said empek-empek

[@33_samueldanuegasaputra70]

hahaha

[@icaakywitjackson3301]

lols xD

[@dianprayogo7444]

Impact punch!

[@hervieanputra2032]

palik enak itu mpek" pak raden pak martin. mungkin ada dijogja. dan kalo makan pempek cukanya disruput yang banyak hehehh

[@kwonglie5]

HI..................................MARTIN...........................................ROCK FISH.................. FOR EMPEK EMPEK................. ENJOY YOUR LIFE..........................................FROM BOISE IDAHO USA

[@ChildrenSongsGuera]

Mr. Martin seemed to be enjoyed while eating empek-empek, ... by the way what camera you use to record this all...

[@joski929]

how long have you been living in java , lovely family , your kids are different than average american kids .. they are so calm and seem enjoy everything in indonesia . i used to live and work in america , but now in bali , let me know if you come and would love to show you around ...

[@ksumamur]

Malam2 gini liat Pak Martin sekeluarga makan mpek2 saya jadi ikut laper.

[@griselda5606]

that's a kind of pempek. the pempek that you eat we called it "kapal selam" but originally pempek didn't put saussage in it. and it's also already dried i see, you should try orginally pempek from Palembang city. pempek isn't bread actually.. and the main material is minced fish, better when used belida or gabus fish. and in Java you'll never find the originally taste of pempek i sure. maybe you and your family can visiting Palembang city in Sumatera island sometimes:)

[@Prayudha88]

Kesalahan : 1. Penjual tidak kasih tau cara makan pempek yang benar. 2. Pak martin dan keluarga makan di tempat yang sepi sekali. Kalo mw coba makanan baru pertama kali harusnya cari yang rame.

[@TheDanhen]

mpe mpe d siram dg kuahnya jd maknyosss...

[@ribkaelsie2231]

yummy submarine impact-impact :D...glad to know you and your fam love the Palembang's delicacy

[@SethSetiadha]

ya you should put lotsa sauce make it like a soup. my fav is the "keriting" and "kulit"

[@aguskalandra5158]

Mpek-Mpek yang enak sebelah ramai mall malioboro pak martin..

[@Maiene]

Dude you need to drown the mpekmpek with the sauce, it will taste better, my opinion though

[@MartinJohnsonOffGridLiving]

Awesome! Thanks!

[@dedyirawan4711]

+Martin Johnson when you come to indonesia again?

[@hamzahfanzuri131]

it's work with sauce... but that not a sauce ... actually thats soup... 😂😂

[@Mayatemil]

hamzah fanzuri more like dip ..not soup... please dont give inaccurate translation

[@aquaveridian]

you should try 'lenggang', its a variation of mpek2, some kind of an omelette with bits of mpek-mpek in it.

[@esfandiaribhaktiari3854]

[@andrianleonidasgaming155]

if u interested coming to palembang . i can show u more food and centre pempek create here martin . :) . and palembang is not familiar city for holiday . but u can googling about palembang for early if u wanna try. so many place u must go and history place so well . about palembang traditional food more 80% flavour from fish meat .

[@machikuimpact]

My fav empek2...u should try empek2 nyonya kamto,, the best taste in Jogja 😙

[@stylefair8846]

orang bule tidak tahu cara makan pempek yang benar itu gimana,mungkin diberitahu sama si ibunya, bahwa makan pempek itu dengan kuah cukup banyak bersama timun/bonteng,itu baru benar dan nikmat. pempek itu dari tepung terigu dan sagu yang digoreng,soal rasa sangat enak dan renyah ,yang paling terkenal itu pempek palembang!

[@blackjacktildie]

+Carolina Quira lagian kok aneh kuahnya kok dipisah gt ya sama yg jual, gw seumur" makan pempek di tempat makan gt pasti selalu dicampur lgsg kuahnya dr sono, paling sambelnya aja yg dipisah kl kurang pedes.

[@stylefair8846]

ank mdn kurang diminati mungkin...padahal enak rasanya.

[@stylefair8846]

***** biasanya kalau dipisah bila mau dibungkus makan di rumah. mungkin ini permintaan pembeli atau memang isi sendiri kuahnya bila mau makan.

[@daniellajerdan9645]

pak .. bikin saya lapar saja, di Grand Forks ND nggak ada mpek mpek hehehe..makan pake saus empek empeknya pasti enak

[@budimanjo8070]

Try to come in Palembang city sir.. best Pempek in this city

[@harwindho]

have you tried, Ayam betutu Gilimanuk? and plecing kankung? it's spicy, and I think the restaurant at Jl Palagan

[@MartinJohnsonOffGridLiving]

+Harwindho Satriohusodo maybe not yet.

[@harwindho]

+Riding Java you should try then 😁

[@Herrykardjono2013]

Basically it's like FISH CAKE. The one that you like with the egg inside is called KAPAL SELAM or SUBMARINE in English :-)

[@nTo-vlog]

dear Martin, next time pour the sauce until it drowns the mpek-mpek. Actually it is meant to be soupy like. It shall taste much better.

[@madew9555]

pak martin, saran saya kalau mencoba makanan khas daerah itu mesti mencoba yg paling enak dulu agar kesan pertama pada makanan tersebut bagus.

[@angelasewamotorpalembang9087]

Go to Palembang, South Sumatra-Indonesia Palembang people cook the best mpek mpek. I bet you gonna eat more than 10 mpek mpek.

Waaah pempek, my fave. U hv lived in Indonesia for a long time, but u never tried pempek? It's from Palembang and in my experience, most foreigners I know love pempek, but they love it fried. I prefer the boiled/steamed ones :) The big one with egg inside is pempek kapal selam or submarine pempek. My all time fave is pempek tunu or grilled pempek.... I have some videos of pempek in my channel lol....

strange mimic when you say "taste good". i use to eat pempek @ kaliurang, bulak sumur. I like the crispy one, the souce's taste quite sour and hot. I love fish... so i like pempek.

[@sandisandi8001]

Mpek Mpek is originally from Palembang, the capital of South Sumatra and if you go there, you'll find the best Mpek Mpek in the country. I don't know why the taste is just different. The Mpek Mpek's taste in Palembang is just everything!

[@MartinJohnsonOffGridLiving]

I think you are right.
