I mistakenly ate ALL the food ALONE in Jakarta 😅🫣

In this video, I’m in Jakarta, Indonesia’s capital city on Java Island. It’s my first time visiting here besides changing flights and it’s my first time trying Nasi Pedang. I found this place online and it was listed as super popular and it did not disappoint! But I did eat a portion for two people… 😂

In other Padang restaurants, such as Rumah Makan Padang Sederhana, you may get a very large portion on your table, don't be surprised and don't need to eat it all, because you will only pay for what you eat. The waiter only needs to count the remaining food on the table to know what you have eaten. Mel, you are traveling alone, be careful. If you are confused about the language, you may have to use Google Translate voice. Hope you have a pleasant day in Indonesia. Happy travelling, Mel.

[@iniondit7585]

Anybody would always have an awkward time when dining in a Padang restaurant for the first time. But here's the thing, when you go to any Padang restaurant you can just walk in and take a seat, without you're asking them they would then serve you with the many dishes there are in the counter (or if you want to make sure you can say "tolong dihidang"--[ 'toll-ong-dee-he-dung' ]--meaning "serve the dish please"). These dishes come in small plates just like you had here in the video. You don't have to savor them all though, just pick any dish to your liking (a la carte). Once you finish eating, the waiter will check the dish you picked and you'll pay accordingly. By the way, if they serve you the traditional way, the waiter will come with so many plates stacked in their arms. But to order, you can also approach the counter and ask the waiter to serve you rice with certain dish of your choice in one single plate--many locals do just that.

[@the.yellow.princess]

@@iniondit7585 I had NO idea 😂 I did notice that they brought used plates back to the counter but I was hoping I saw it wrong 🥹

[@iniondit7585]

​@@the.yellow.princessWell I would say that's the beauty of it, different country offers different cultures that opens up our soul and enriches our journey in life. Idk about the used plates thing being brought back to the counter, but I think those were the dishes left untouched by the customers when served a la carte. Thanks for sharing the video Melanie and have a nice stay in Indonesia. Can't wait for your next adventure!

You must go to west sumatra that originaly NASI PADANG. If you want try the best RENDANG at Restoran SELAMAT Padang city.There you find black beef rendang. And Nasi Kapau at bukittinggi city.

[@MazGun]

Actually, if you buy it as take away, you can choose which food do you want. But since you eat it there, they always serves everything on the table. It's only happen in padang restaurant so you don't need to worry if you eat in warung or another restaurant and they serves some side dish. They won't charge any if you didn't eat the side dish. But make sure to ask if it's included as one with your ordered food. Sambal and other sauce is free. Google translate will communicate with them greatly. Don't be afraid if the grammar is wrong. As long as the key word is right, they will understand.

[@JoeAction68]

Hi, m3l... Wow.. You are visit to jakarta🎉 very busy city in java

[@thewaywardcyclist3992]

you were not supposed to eat them all, just the ones you fancy. good thing they didn't put so much on the table. usually they put 8-12 dishes. you just take the ones you favour and they will charge accordingly.

[@hendrizalzainal5051]

When the waiter ask you what you want, just answer: everything. Then your table is full of food and you are charged with what you eat. But vegetables is counted per plate. For instance, there are two pieces rendang in a plate, you pay one if you take only one piece.

[@the.yellow.princess]

Good thing I didn’t do that this time or I would still be there eating now 😂

That's actually what I usually get for my Nasi Padang 😂 Rice, rendang, perkedel, the veggies sauce and green chili. Lord I need to order them for dinner tonight. But yea, at Padang restaurant you can ask for it 'rames' style, aka similar to Nasi Campur where you ask for specific dish/es along with the rice - and they bring out just the one plate. The default mode though is they bring out everything (!) to the table and you choose what you want to eat and at the end, they check and calculate the total for you according to what dishes are eaten. Appreciate you coming in and just do your thing. Of course every vlogger and traveler has their own way of doing things but I really prefer watching foreigners who try to be as hands on as possible, without a kind of guide that to me kind of spoils the experience. Just my opinion tho, hope you continue to enjoy Indonesia 💛

Nasi Padang is the name for culinary delights in Padang restaurants, and Padang is the capital of West Sumatra province, but in the city of Padang, even in every place you will not find a restaurant called "Rumah Makan Padang", and if you want to taste the original taste of each menus at Padang restaurants, once in a while you must have to visit Padang and West Sumatra to taste and see firsthand the specific manufacturing process for each menu there and at the same time you can enjoy the natural beauty and various exotic cultures, I'm sure you will definitely be amazed to admire them. ...we are waiting for your arrival in the field..🙏

No, the dishes aren't necessarily for 1 or 2 people. At some Nasi Padang restaurants, they serve multiple dishes to the table, and you only pay for what you actually eat. You can take as little as a slice of meat or a piece of potato. You don’t have to finish everything. When you're done, they’ll check what’s left on the plates and charge you accordingly.

Mix and use spoon to eat indonesian food or use with your hand. That the ways how indonesian people eat, so you can feel the taste of food and don't eat 1 by 1. Mix all together. Sometimes you can ask or see other people how to eat or use something. Watch and learn before you go somewhere. And ask if you don't know. So you can enjoy your trip more better everywhere you go. Sorry for my teks and thanks to visit Indonesia. Hope you can enjoy the trip. Happy trip for you. Good luck and always be careful

[@prdx8543]

It's salty because it is supposed to be eaten with rice. The rice will tone everything down, and Padang food is designed around rice. Nasi Padang is directly translated as Rice from Padang. It's a city in the west of Sumatra. Also, rendang should taste better, because rendang is from Padang, and the restaurant that you are visiting right now is a Padang restaurant. Let's just say, that they are the people that made rendang for centuries before it is well known throughout the world or neighbors. You might find rendang at any restaurant, but they just won't get anywhere close to the Padang people. I prefer the one from "pagi sore" restaurant though, although lately I love Kapau kampuang too. But you really can't beat rendang from Padang restaurant. Those people next to your table are eating with a couple of people. So, they served them "hidang style". That means, they put everything on those small plates in front of you, for everyone to pick and eat. Only those you touch are being counted. Some Padang restaurants wrap the plate with plastic for some kind like sealing. You pay for those that you open the wrap. If you love tasting food, you should pay attention to the origin in Indonesia. Unlike many countries, Indonesia has thousands of cultures, and we preserve them. So, like that rendang that you just ate, the dish is from Padang, and because the dish is from Padang, the best taste you'll get would also from Padang restaurant. There are other dishes from Makassar, Manado, Java, Betawi, Sunda, and so on. And just like rendang, the best taste would be at their respective culture's restaurant. I would recommend trying sup brenebon and cakalang from Manado, also gudeg and fried chicken from java, and soto Betawi, ujung pandang noodle from ujung pandang, babi guling from Bali, babi sei from Kupang.
