Trouble In The Satay Shop... 🇮🇩

When in Padang City it's only right to go eat Satay Padang so that's what we did tonight!
The first satay place we went to was awful and the people were just horrid so we walked back to the other side of town to find a different street food spot.
We ended up finding a nice little stall run by a lovely hardworking lady.
We ate so much delicious satay padang and we had a little go at grilling them ourselves...
Then it turned into an episode of shameless as characters started to appear and things got weird.
Was an eventful night in the satay shop 🇮🇩

[@kilantravels]

As an Indonesian I’m sorry for what happened to you, I got secondhand embarrassment from watching your interactions. If it’s any consolation, it’s not because you’re a foreigner, these kind of people would do the same thing to fellow Indonesians like me because they can tell that I’m not a local. But it’s also a not fair to say “that’s Indonesian for you” because they don’t represent the whole country. I’ve met travelers who’ve been all over Indonesia and treated like family, treated to meals by total strangers, invited to dinners and even important family events. There are bad apples everywhere, you were just unlucky to meet them in your journey here. Please don't let the poor choices of a certain part of the country spoil the way you feel about an entire nation. But don’t hide anything either, you should always say the truth. In fact, you should’ve recorded the situation at the first satay stall, I’m very curious on what had transpired there.

[@EllisWR]

Don't be sorry its not your fault! I only said that because everyday this is happening to us multiple times and it's making us sad aha. We will have to travel to other parts of the country to see if it is different. I stopped recording because didn't want to make a really negative video it wasn't worth my energy.

[@kilantravels]

@@EllisWR I understand. It is unfortunate that you’ve encountered a series of unsavory characters right at the beginning of your trip which colored your opinion, and while I implore you to understand that it’s not typical to Indonesia, your experience is your own and I wouldn’t blame you if that it has left a bad taste in your mouth. Before you leave the country, please consider coming over to my neck of the woods. I’ll treat you to a meal and we could hang out with a cold one in our hands. Cheers!

@@EllisWR I’m glad that at least you have that going on for you. You did mention that you’re looking for local food experience. Well, those ayam geprek/penyet stalls are not really local to West Sumatra either and they’re as “foreign” as J.Co donuts (an Indonesian brand) are to that part of the world, so I hope you’ll get to dishes like ayam geprek/penyet in Central or East Java, where they’re actually from.

[@pengembarawaktu]

​ Acceptance towards foreigners are expressed differently amongst Southeast Asians. I don't want to use hospitality as the generic term here because it will reduce the essence of this collective behaviors into single expectation. Some countries/ethnicity treat the foreigner as a noble guest, hence they will treat them humbly, often with care as if they are a fragile traveler. They don't hesitate to offer free food for example. Other like in Java mostly see foreigner as a master, hence they will serve them with the most polite attitude, even as extreme as being slave to particular superiority. They don't behave like this to fellow locals, only to foreigner which they consider come from rich country. This attitude are the widely praised as "Indonesian hospitality" aka mental babu. And here we are, The Minangkabau of West Sumatra and beyond. We embrace equality and egalitarian above all. So our attitude is just friendliness in equality, may be not kind of hospitality expected by some. We treat people in equal as is ourselves, inferior attitudes totally absent. Some said the Minangkabau doing business like they don't need tourism. Oh yeah, we don't want to be a slave of tourism. We're pride with who we are, with our culture and character. If others would like to experience it, just come and feel it as it is, no adjustments required. If they like, then be it, and vice versa.

[@EllisWR]

I can't stand being treated like a superior I'm just a normal bloke like everyone else. I just wanna have a chat, eat some food, share nice experiences with people! Only think we don't stand for is people who only approach us or only speak to us because they want something from us.

It’s also very easy to prove who’s lying here because many other vloggers also shared their bad experiences when they’re visiting other islands in Indonesia. I admit we have bad apples, but every tribes, every ethnic groups in Indonesia have bad apples and statistically we have less criminal activities than some other provinces in Indonesia. We are also the only tribe/ethnic group that actually support gender equality because we’re matrilineal unlike any other tribes/ethnic groups, women are more respected in west Sumatra because of our unique culture. Additional info for Ellis : we are also the close kins of the Malaysians, because some of our people moved to Malaysia (before it’s called Malaysia) hundreds of years ago and started their new tribes in Negeri Sembilan. Therefore we are also the least likely to throw hate at the Malaysians.

The only thing that gets spat out is the claws if they haven't been taken off already before cooking. such a lovely tasting and fattening part of the chicken. And not served by butchers here in UK lol

[@EllisWR]

Too bloody hot these ones were! We eat em in Thailand a fair bit and yeah they're delicious! Good for you n all!

A friendly lady with bad attitude.. Spoiled👎 Be xtra careful please..

[@EllisWR]

Really sad!

[@lehung541]

Such a nasty woman asking you to pay for her food. This would never happen in Vietnam. Two countries in Southeast Asia, but they feel like completely different planets, lmao

[@EllisWR]

That was the story of The Philippines and Indonesia day in day out non stop nobody has any self respect and to treat guests like that is appalling. Man the people in Vietnam who earn extremely little are super respectful and kind it's crazy, such hardworking honest people. After visiting these amazing countries it's hard to go somewhere and be treated badly everyday.

[@lehung541]

@@EllisWR Yeah, I just saw your video in Đồng Hới where you forgot to pay for the bánh mì and coffee. It was around 60k đồng, I think... quite a sum, like 20 pounds in the UK. When you went back to pay, they were just like no worries, it's all good. Super chill couple. I've also sometimes forgotten to pay, and when I came back, people were always understanding and cool so it's not just a thing for white foreigners or any specific group, locals get the friendly treatment too. We geniunely treat each other like family. Honestly feeling so lucky to be born in a place where people are just so darn nice😅

The first satay shop wouldn’t serve you? 😢 I love how friendly the next satay lady was waving to you👌 I wonder if this Gaza war is causing more Muslims to resent non-Muslims. Such a shame when us humans are all one, yes different cultures + backgrounds but all wanting to be loved + understood 💜

[@Ayah_Mia]

Nah its nothing to do with Gaza war ffs..Gaza war & the Israel occupation has been on going for more less 70 odd years. It's what it is.. Just some typical opportunist Indonesians

[@EllisWR]

They were just horrible no idea why aha everyone in that area treated us like poo even tho were kind and outgoing to them

[@bluestarfishsea]

@@EllisWR Such a shame, you are both so positive + friendly! Curious if ppl receive you better without the camera? I only visited North it’s a bit more touristy I think…but still very local + the kindest ppl. I loved Banda Aceh.

[@EllisWR]

@@bluestarfishsea When I didn't have the camera it was even worse not even joking. Oh well though life goes on!

[@pengembarawaktu]

When you choose to stay in a random area, certainly you would meet random people as well. From what I observed in most of your Padang video, your decision to stay around that area (Proklamasi) has made you met with beggar, street kids, street musician etc. No wonder that a couple times you will have those kind of weird interactions. Padang city is vast area, inhabited by diverse people from various place and background (kind of melting pot), and small spot of the city, statistically cannot be use to judge the overall city, or even province.

[@EllisWR]

We've been to plenty of parts of the city and plenty of parts of Sumatra now and sadly not received much hospitality just been harassed all the time :( we wish it wasn't this way but unfortunately it has been

[@EllisWR]

Soon we have videos from batak area where people were lovely though

[@pengembarawaktu]

@@EllisWR Yeah, I wish you will have better experience next time. Overall, tourism is still not a thing in Sumatra, Kalimantan, Sulawesi, Maluku and Papua, hence most of people from that area thinks that tourist/foreigners are generally rich people that they can use as an ATM. I will not try to argue with your judgement, because each of experience is personal. Even if you ask Indonesians, every single of them will have their own prejudice towards another ethnicity. So if you're thinking that Batak people are nicer than Minangkabau (based on your sampling), it is totally alright, despite most Indonesians might be disagreed. However, I still believe that in general race/ethnicity/country of origin should have little contribution to personal characters. Feel free to disagree :)

[@EllisWR]

@@pengembarawaktu Nooo I'm just saying we have had better experiences in general in this region now! We don't judge individuals but judge from our experience over a period after meeting lots of people! I appreciate your comments 🙏

[@pengembarawaktu]

@@EllisWR Thank you my friend. Nevertheless, I am really sorry for any bad experience you've encountered while visiting my province. We have to admitted that certain mentality is pervasive there. Thank you again for spending your time there. You're honest review is highly valuable and indeed needed.

[@jamesbenjamin8078]

Grow up kids…….you spend a lot of time scrounging off others, benefitting from the generosity of others. Your outrage about paying for someone else’s food was pretty low grade

[@EllisWR]

Ahhh here he is... We haven't once scrounged ever we just travel to nice places and happen to meet lots of hospitable people. Why would I ever want to pay for these type of people's food I'm not a charity. I don't owe people anything especially if they only speak to me because I'm white and they presume I have money and want something from me. We always support only local business, give to kind local people and share experiences, food etc together. Give respect get respect back is how we live :)

[@jamesbenjamin8078]

@@EllisWR but not enough respect for others to return the generosity from which you benefit now and then and spend a few pence on feeding others……..bad karma fellow

[@EllisWR]

@@jamesbenjamin8078 Did you read my comment or not? We do plenty of nice things and give to nice people lol. You can give to people like this if you want but we're alright we want nothing to do with them.
