Indonesian BREAKFAST NOODLES & Spicy MALA LOBSTER BBQ in Queens CHINATOWN

[@Richieee070]

The indonesian "rice cake" is called lontong! It is partly cooked rice that is wrapped in banana leaves and then sealed off, after which it is steamed for another hour or so. Because the rice expands the kernels break and it is pressed into the shape of the banana leaf wrapper. When unwrapped they cut it into blocks and it is traditionally always served with Saté Kambing, which is supposed to be goat meat, but a lot of places "cheat" and use lamb, because goat might be more difficult to come by.

[@bumpinggums412]

Good education on such a delicious meal.

[@alannasarafat9938]

Or you can substitute banana leaf with coconut leaf and it's become ketupat

[@janevandervoort6507]

And lontong is best served not only with sate kambing but also with good peanut sauce

I live in Australia and I LOVE spicy food! I asked for super spicy one day at my local Thai place and unknowingly started a war with the man who owns it. He progressively made it more and more spicy and eventually ended up giving me a bag of his crazy chillies to use at home 😆 Keep up the awesome vids Mikey!!

You're the only person who could eat a full noodle dish at one restaurant, finish it, then walk 5 stores down to eat a whole other noodle dish 😅

Competitive eaters too! Baha

[@harvestmoon_autumnsky]

Even though things are opening up, I'm not ready to sit inside a restaurant yet. But watching Mike enjoy his breakfast makes me nostalgic for a great meal out. He's right, you get such a blast of positive energy after eating a great meal. I miss that so much.

[@MowFlats]

Mike thank you for your positivity. Iquit my job due to discrimination and mental health. You were the one who cheered me up with your enthusiastic food vlogging. Now I also aim to be like you. Thank you for inspiration!!

[@youxarexmyxsunshine]

Discrimination is awful in a workplace and bullying is even worse! Some people are so mean and backstabbed, that’s the scariest part. Mike’s videos by contrast demonstrates kindness, friendliness, and good-hearted. even though he loves his food, there seems to be positive and good vibes around him. I wish you all the best.

So glad they served the laarb moo (pork) with liver! The way it was intended to be served/made

[@didisinclair3605]

Re: deep fried pork belly.. I lived in Denmark for a year (no offense, but not the most exciting food) but the family I lived with made flisk... deep fried pork fat. Crispy on the outside, then a flood of creamy fat inside. I'm sure your pork belly was better, but I remember that flisk with love.

[@GrowInTheDark]

My country, Singapore, has that too, we call it deep-fried lard. Mostly in Chinese dishes.

[@Yakuthehacku]

It's actually the danish national dish. "Stegt flæsk med Persillesovs" which is, as you described, deepfried pork belly usually served with potatoes and a parsley sauce.

[@fennfae]

We in South Africa call it kaiings, little blocks of pork belly, frying in its own fat till crispy, take out the crispy bits and let the left over fat cool down and settle. The fat we use to spread on bread in stead of butter and the crispy bits we eat as snacks. Im really craving it now D:

[@jims4183]

When I was a kid about 50 years ago, my mom used to pan fry white bread with pork lard and salt lightly sprinkled over the bread. Awesome!

[@almadeckard8360]

Ooh! I loved that series. Don't forget to use a flood map when you choose a place to live in Houston. One they don't often have ports or garages to protect cars in the area. You might live on the second floor and protected parking is tough to get. It is also tough to get a 6-month lease and you will most likely lose your deposit. Even if you have it professionally cleaned. Take before and after photos! Hurricane season starts June 1st. Plus the storm name Claudette will be back this year. That name has cost billions the last two times it hit the Houston area. It never made hurricane status. St Louis area had tornados already this week 3/14/21. Listen for the weather along the way and stay safe. Enjoy the trip!
