How did they do?😊

[@jurianf.kaunang1808]

Indonesian are diverse, but I have doubt all of them are Indonesian 😅

[@jchandrahutama6941]

Did you have to ask this question?

[@rielolakwij]

They're not indonesians. Shame on u! This is like a jamie oliver version of everything.

[@priesnandad]

Made nasi goreng or acted like Indonesian? FYI, I considered people who was born and raised most of their life in the west as Westerners, no matter what their race or ethnicity.

[@Tomikehoward9]

The mom with the tofu and ginger: Indonesian fried rice do NOT use ginger at all, plus I understand tofu is a substitute for meat but we do not use that. Plus, egg is VERY common, if not to say a must.

[@deendrew36]

Make sure the mums or dads you use don’t have allergies or intolerances. It feels a bit unfair to judge a dish you can’t really eat.

[@razmoore4644]

I was just about to say this very thing!

[@tippykaffu4047]

white people being white Being allergic to everything

[@megannwalsh]

I agree! Especially if it’s a common ingredient in the dish.

[@citationneeded9770]

Agree. It's their job to taste everything.

[@velily1]

do they not know what they’re eating before they sign up to do it? (genuine) bc surely you’d know the dish well and the potential for it to be in there 😅

[@evanjacob8463]

Every Indonesian Nasi Goreng I have ever had has had an egg.

[@alanjyu]

I'm not Indonesian, but i live in Indonesia. How is it possible that my Indonesian language skills and knowledge of nasi goreng and rendang exceeds theirs? These imposters, and yes I am using that word, don't know how to pronounce the names of very commonly consumed dishes and don't have basic understanding of food presentation. Of course a sunny-side egg comes with the nasi goreng. it's called nasi goreng matasapi.

[@TheAngelino000]

I'm not sure they're Indonesian 😂

[@farrrfarrrraway]

The last one who eat with fork is very suspicious

[@chandraraenaldi1293]

Lol the accent is weird also

[@jchandrahutama6941]

Just see the ingredients i doubt they are indonesian

[@bondyaliano]

"Indonesian mums" where? 👀

[@alanjyu]

In Indonesia, you put the nasi goreng into a bowl to mold it and turn the bowl upside down into a plate. You put the fried egg on top. You have cucumbers and tomatoes on the side. It usually has a red colour because there's a chilli or tomato sauce. You need chicken and veggies like napa cabbage and maybe kangkong or water spinach. I'm not impressed.

[@raya1245]

never heard peanut butter is an ingredient for nasi goreng here in Indonesia tho…..

[@Ashahlayyy]

Why do persons take part knowing they have dietary restrictions? They can't judge the dish fairly if they can't taste all parts of it. Nice video though 👍

[@poocaa]

Im not sure they are indonesian. Their indonesian vocabulary is more like our neighbour than my fellow indonesian do 🤔

[@siriussemajo9699]

Sooooo no chance we can have the Nigerian guys and the Indian guys back for one last hurrah? I just need the humour back.

[@KilanEatsandDrinks]

Oh great. These “Indonesian mums” again. Including Jenny, the one who called palm sugar “gula melaka” and used shrimp paste in her rendang. 😑 Surprise, surprise, in this video she calls sweet soy sauce “kicap manis” just like a Malaysian/Singaporean would 🙄 Are you trying to tell me that you couldn’t find a single Indonesian lady in the whole UK and had to resort to using a woman who cooks Malaysian dishes and passes them off as Indonesian? I don’t think she even used _kecap manis_ in her _nasi goreng_ and that ingredient is what makes Indonesian nasi goreng “nasi goreng” 😭 She even says “bagus” about a dish, that is such an ang moh thing to do because they think “bagus” can be used for food as well, like “good” in English.

[@Vagabonding_i_guess]

How is that lady allergic to seafood but still able to eat the rice that was cooked with seafood?

[@ilmarivai2566]

Most nasi goreng has eggs. If they're Indonesian, that's not how they pronounce Nasi Goreng

[@afaridpirmansyah7867]

They're definitely not fluent in Indonesian and not growing up in Indonesia.

[@smilechynwa]

yeah its weird they didn't know eggs are usually in nasi goring. Am not Indonesian and even I knew. lol I dont know about this episode..

[@stdgia]

They’re eating Nasi Goreng with fork, there is no way they’re Indonesians MANEEE ADE ORANG INDO MAKAN NASI PAKE GARPUUUU wkwkwkk

yep

[@alanjyu]

You eat rice with a spoon. Lol.

[@dixonyamada6969]

nasi goreng definitely comes with an egg. not always, but to say you've never had it with eggs is a bit crazy.

[@Sjivje]

Hazze being só surprised by it made me wonder if she actually knows Indonesian cuisine or that by being Indonesian she thinks she automatically knows lol.

[@geschmackj209]

These are Indonesian-passing Malaysians😂😂

[@bomin_dream9135]

Definitely not Indonesians, I guarantee you. Even if they're Indonesian descendants, at the very least they know how to pronounce nasi goreng the way locals do.

They're also not looked lije Malaysian either. They looked like Americans 😂

[@sylvia1797]

This might be the nicest "mums try" video I've ever seen. Everyone gave very constructive criticism and fair scores, rather than just bashing and lowballing any dishes that weren't their own as some mums have in the past.

[@buzzfeedUK]

Isn’t that great!!

[@AS-ie3lf]

so random but is it just me who thinks hazze looks like the asian version of evangeline from nanny mcphee 😭😅

[@user-gk7kg8zo1c]

I must express my uncertainty as to whether they hail from Indonesian origins or were ever graced with the privilege of being born on Indonesian soil. Permit me to elucidate on certain discrepancies in their discourse: 1. Never have I chanced upon nasi goreng embellished with: - tomato paste - ginger - peanut butter - lime 2. In every rendition of nasi goreng, an egg must undeniably be present. In the Indonesian realm, a procurement of nasi goreng bestows upon one the option of selecting either a sunny-side-up or an omelet. 3. Nasi goreng, by its very epithet of "fried rice," inherently boasts a modicum of greasiness. This is why numerous Indonesian street vendors complement this dish with pickled vegetables, such as carrots or cucumbers, eschewing the inclusion of lime. My musings lead me to believe that both the expositors and yourselves could benefit from a more discerning selection process in identifying the rightful arbiters of culinary authenticity

[@user-nd4gh5mg2e]

Since when nasi goreng uses lime and ginger? Im not sure they are real indonesian. Tofu in nasi goreng is killing me….😂😂😂😂

[@smurfsup8434]

I've always been given tofo on the side of nasi or mie goreng when in Indonesia

[@hellojingga2928]

Traditionally in Nasi Goreng, it used to have eggs on top and not tofu lol. And since when we use peanut butter in nasi goreng?? We def don't lol.

[@Thoughtsbyme-ts4jz]

Not a single hater. Love them

[@ariyandhi8353]

Are you sure they are indonesian? 🤔🤔🤔

[@parisz]

No wonder they say "making food look appetizing on film/pictures is difficult" I mean look at the presentation of those plates!?! BuzzFeed when you know better, you do better.

[@adaenechi6723]

Well tbf the mums plate the food themselves, it’s supposed to be authentic to them

[@sebastonix]

I’m really furious when the title of this video mentioned “Indonesian” mum, but none of this mom are Indonesians! Let me list the flaws: 1. What makes nasi goreng nasi goreng is Kecap manis. Sorry, it is what it is. 2. No one says “bagus” to compliment food. 3. The R is Goreng should be trilled by tongue, not rolled like in English. 4. I never saw nasi goreng with a lime though, looks like Thai fried rice. 5. There’s always an egg in fried rice Advice for the team, if you can’t find real Indonesian mum, just make the title as “fried rice by Asian mum, and it will solve all the issues mentioned.

[@Sjivje]

To be fair, I believe they are ethnically Indonesian but they live in the UK maybe some born and raised there. That can cause a lack of knowledge for the authentic cuisine. But I haven't seen it as bad as in this video...

[@victoriaanastasia420]

They're Indonesian ethnically but nationalty is English. We have similar stuff here in America. Like Koreans who aren't originally from korea

[@chooperchris]

I kinda think reason 2 and 3 are unfair. It doesn’t have anything to do with cooking nor rating foods. Whenever if they are or aren’t fully Indonesian, they dont have to act 101% like authentic Indonesian on International channel food videos .

[@kabayansangpresiden]

I don't think they're Indonesian born and raised. The way they said nasi goreng and kecap manis is not Indonesian. And which Indonesian put peanut butter in Nasi goreng.

[@chandraraenaldi1293]

​@victoriaanastasia420 nah, Jenny is using Malaysian word and accent. How come she is Indonesian but not knowing Indonesian word and perfectly knowing Malaysian accent and word?

[@aninmaha1166]

mereka ini indonesian mom yg pernah tinggal di indonesia atau diaspora yg dari lahir sudah imigrasi ya?

[@LelakiKerdus]

They're neither. Even diaspora indonesians can spell nasi goreng and kecap manis properly.

[@forkrust9296]

Wait what. Indonesians do tell do you guys don't put egg in Nasi Goreng. I've had it in India many times but all of them has an egg on top. Not the sunny side up one more like a fried egg I reckon.

[@baskorobhanu9589]

We do. They are very common, sunny side up or fried omelete. There is a joke about restaurants often putting a single egg on Nasi Goreng, calling it Nasi Goreng special and charging extra for that damn egg.

[@forkrust9296]

@@baskorobhanu9589 I see. The 2 of three women in this video didn't have egg so I thought maybe we are getting the wrong one.

[@dixonyamada6969]

jenny's looked the best well deserved

[@HolyMoonlitNight]

I can understand the sentiments of being frustrated and annoyed by not having even one authentic Indonesian nasi goreng served here, but I'm really surprised at people actually being downright rude. The 'nasi goreng' are done by UK citizens. Surely this would be a tacit understanding that true local Indonesian authenticity would probably not be found and highly influenced by generic Asian cooking styles. Prior videos by Chinese mums had already shown that authentic cuisine isn't a thing. The Chinese mums try each other Chow Mein video had one mum's dish serving sweet potato noodles with Vietnamese meatloaf. That's certainly not typical Chinese noodles and certainly not a Chinese sausage. Chinese mums try each others' fried rice: Salmon fried rice with seaweed isn't Chinese style but Japanese. These titles were not Chinese Mums try each other *Chinese* Fried rice or *Chinese* Chow Mein, and this video's title isn't Indonesian Mums try each other *Indonesian* Nasi Goreng either. The amount of vitriol for not being Indonesian enough is wild. If a Malaysian mum served up Indonesian style nasi goreng, should I expect the same level of malice?
