TWO INCREDIBLE INDONESIAN MUST TRY FOODS IN SYDNEY with GENIUSEATSS | Pondok Buyung & Ayam Goreng 99

HI GUYS! HUGE EPISODE THIS WEEK!
We try two absolutely incredible Indonesian restaurants in Sydney's suburb of Kingsford. These two restaurants are two of the oldest Indonesian restaurants in Sydney. Pondok Buyung, a restaurant selling a rice dish called Nasi Padang, and Ayam Goreng 99, which serves incredible grilled chicken (ayam bakar) and fried chicken (ayam goreng). These two restaurants are beloved by locals and Indonesians across Sydney, so much so, they would travel all the way here to get their fix!
And we have a SPECIAL GUEST! Genio, a.k.a. Geniuseatss, is a great friend of mine and he grew up in Indonesia before relocating to Sydney Australia only a few years ago for study. This food means a lot to him so I had a great time learning about Indonesian cuisine and culture through his eyes!
Both restaurants are actually very close to the University of New South Wales (UNSW), which was where I studied! I regret being too stingy back then to explore different foods in the area. Don't be like me! Imagine all of the amazing lunches I could've had haha!
I HOPE YOU ENJOY TODAY'S VIDEO! If you haven't already, I'd love if I could get your support by SUBSCRIBING to the channel and hitting the NOTIFICATION BELL ! Also give the video a BIG THUMBS UP so I can keep the videos coming!

Indonesian food is something that deserves more attetion. These places are true hidden gems. I loved the chemistry betbetween you 2. I hope guys do more videos together!

[@SydneyFoodBoy]

It sure is! How underrated is Indo cuisine! Thank you Chandy appreciate u fam!

[@cengizali1391]

1000% agree doesnt have the exposure as thia food does.

[@MrBillchair]

​@@SydneyFoodBoy that was not Spinach, you got either Cassava leaves or an Asian type of Watercress, I forget the name. I live in Kingsford, and I go to Pondok Buyong regularly, I like the Goat curry, Eggplant and the little fried fish. You may have seen them? Whole fish, with or without chilli about 10 - 20cm long. Glad you enjoyed the two restaurants. As you correctly said, the restaurant is always busy!

[@HauTran-sunfromsouth]

I’m VIETNAMESE, never try Indonesian foods. But INDONESIA IS BEAUTIFUL COUNTRY. As Asian, SOUTHEAST ASIAN IS BEAUTIFUL BLESS BY EARTH, LANDSOILS, TROPICAL SUNNY ALL YEAR LONG, BEAUTIFUL ISLAND & BEACH, JUNGLE & VARIETY TYPES OF TROPICAL FRUITS & VEGGIES. Asian ppl have 1 things similar no matter what part Asia is we have families values & hardworking people!! Vietnam foods is different, mostly cause we just cooked each foods separately alone. Like a bowl of green veggies soup, veggies stir fries, meat dish,etc.. something like that. The first dish they show is not my type. But 10.18 the dish somehow similar to what I mention, each dish is cooked separate. Lookung good & yummy 😊

Im a Singaporean and i studied at unsw in 2011-14. This vid brought back great memories at Kingsford. There used to be an extremely popular Indo restaurant called Fajar (I heard its not there anymore) with super sick nasi goreng! Certainly the best time of my life was spent in Sydney! Subscribed for more food ideas as I might be heading to Syd later this year! 🙌🙌👌😊😊

[@SydneyFoodBoy]

Thank you so much for subscribing mate! My relatives live in Singapore so I visit quite often 😁 I also studied at UNSW and I really wish at the time I had been more open to trying the food in the local area. I missed out on so much Indonesian food and spent all my time eating fast food!!!

[@lambo88]

@@SydneyFoodBoy That's awesome. U should do a Singapore food series when you're here! I bet you're a commerce student (me as well) as you're Asian like me LOL. Just kidding 🤣 You should do a hotpot series in Sydney cos the hotpot culture is pretty big as there're many Asians! 🙌👌

[@SydneyFoodBoy]

I should definitely do a Singapore series one day! I visited SG earlier this year but only recorded phone content unfortunately. When I'm overseas, it's so hard not to just make it a holiday 🤣

[@glambae7106]

1. Try Bakso Mercon from The Growers at Top Ryde in the cafe side (it’s a flavourful noodle soup with handmade beef balls) (they also sell a huge selection of Indonesian desserts on Saturday and Sundays!) 2. Martabak Manis w/ peanut, chocolate and cheese (the OG) from Rosebery Martabak (back in Kingsford, it’s a super decadent Indo style pancake but with a texture of crumpet made with lots of butter and condensed milk and your choice of toppings but the trio I suggested is the original which is the best) All these are approved by my Indo partner and myself (non-Indo) more like an ABC hehe!

[@SydneyFoodBoy]

These are some dope recommendations! Will keep them in mind and maybe write about them for insta. Thank you!!

[@yanzwidjaja1200]

Glad you like Indo food Kevin! Try "AYAM BAKAR 7 SAUDARA" at Penshurst, the BEST!!!! This afternoon, I had Beef Stew @2Foodies, wowww...so yummy!!! Also Alex n roll, few weeks ago! Recommended...!!!! I like your channel, keep growing and success for you and the team! Thanks for yummy food in Sydney... Chris.

[@SydneyFoodBoy]

Thank you so much for the kind words Chris! Means a lot ☺️ and glad you've been getting out and enjoying some food! Will try Penshurst one day!

[@Coolwow437]

Sorry I’m late with the reply, absolutely amazing video 💯 Indonesian food is so underrated fam the food is amazing delicious 🤤

[@SydneyFoodBoy]

I so so agree mate! Indonesian food is incredible!

[@calvin_l]

Nostalgia! Thanks for the video Kev! Used to frequent Pondok Buyung. It's comfy food that hits the spot every time. (even though I'm not Indonesian) 👍

[@SydneyFoodBoy]

Thanks for watching Calvin!! I wish I frequented Pondok Buyung back when I went to UNSW 😂 regrets

[@Leo-lj6vs]

Oh man, this brings back so many memories. We used to go to these restaurants all the time. We had a great great time!

[@SydneyFoodBoy]

They're incredible restaurants bro!! I loved making this video, the food was awesome

[@Kate.L]

Many years ago there was an Indonesian restaurant at Kingsford called The Favourite. Its been gone for awhile now but i still miss the food heaps. Indonesian food is my favourite.

[@ultimobile]

I've had home-cooked food by somebody's mother in Padang Sumatra in 1976 and I still reckon it was one of the best meals of my life (apart from Padang food being the hottest in Indonesia and commonly many small plates of organs like lungs - eek!) As much as I love good Indonesian food, I feel relegated to a fruitless search for anything like the best I've had - there in Padang ...

[@Leo-lj6vs]

Next time please try this. I went back there 10 years later and the guy still recognised me. RIA SARI Indonesian Padang in Barker street, Randwick.

[@SydneyFoodBoy]

Will put it on the list!

[@ThaoNguyen-mx3vz]

I haven't eaten at at Indonesian restaurant, I'll definitely try these dish now. Thanks

[@SydneyFoodBoy]

Hope you enjoy Thao!!

[@brendanfarthing]

Great video, boys!

[@jakeabe502]

As a Child in Singapore I was hooked onto Indonesia Malaysian food thebest! Even though Thai food is Great ! Nothing can compared with Authentic Indonesia !!

[@SydneyFoodBoy]

I would love to spend more time in Singapore! The hawkers are incredible

[@arthapurba8287]

Actually that's spinach things is casava leaves in indonesia called daun singkong or sayur singkong. I dont know abt whether the restaurant use trully casava leaves or not. But in here mostly padang restaurant use that spinach things from casava leaves. CMIIW ✌🏻✌🏻

[@SydneyFoodBoy]

Yes I learnt afterward it was definitely cassava leaves! How cool! Learn something new every day

[@SydneyFoodBoy]

DROP SOME MORE INDONESIAN FOODS TO TRY I'M KEEN GUYS! 👇

[@mriz7258]

Pecal, Pisang Keju, Nasi Rawon, Nasi Uduk, Nasi Ambeng, Satay, Gado Gado, Lontong, Klepon, Dodol etc. Not too sure where to find in Sydney but I heard flights to Jakarta and Denpasar is cheap from Sydney. Hahahaha!!

[@burgers641]

Love the dry pork noodles from My Delight in Mascot down the road. I'm sure their other stuff is good too but I always get the noodles. 😁

[@sammoon7897]

Second My Delight in Mascot, get the Bakmi Campur (mixed meat noodles), Ayam Bakar and a side of Gado Gado. And chat to the owner if you get the chance, he's lovely!

[@SydneyFoodBoy]

I really want to visit Jakarta one day!!! Wow what a list!

[@SydneyFoodBoy]

Is that similar to bak chor mee? 🙂

[@binglim1]

While on the way to Cabramatta we chance upon a Malaysian food "fair" in Guildford. Mamu Penang Coffee Stall. 312 Railway Terrace, Guildford. Open hours are Thursday to Sundays 4pm to 11pm. Plus Saturday and Sundays 8.30am to 12.30pm. There are a number of stalls there. The owner said the best time is Saturday 7.30pm when most will be opened. We went there Saturday at 12pm so we were quite late. They only had Nasi kandar left. You might want to check it out.

[@SydneyFoodBoy]

I know the one! Have been meaning to visit, but I hear from others that they might want to keep it low key for now while they get their council approvals in order? We'll see when I can make a visit!

[@dazuleh]

Java in randwick is another spot you have to try bro

[@SydneyFoodBoy]

I walked past there! Looks good!!

[@WoBuXihuan]

That grilled chicken looks really good.. I want to know how to cook it

[@baerang1671]

You could check the recipe on youtube. Pse, type ayam bakar. Usually if you cook Indonesian food with dark colored, we add Indonesian sweet soy sauce aka kecap manis. That brings the Indonesian flavour.

[@SydneyFoodBoy]

Me too!! Unfortunately we couldn't get into the kitchen because of secret recipes 😜😜

[@SydneyFoodBoy]

Yes kecap manis is a big ingredient!!

[@senget13]

Bro, is Ayam Goreng 99 Halal? Thanks, love your videos.

[@irena-talita]

How good was this vlog I loved it ..The meat dishes and that DELICIOUS chicken and coconut was so yummy ..It was great watching you both lots of laughs and fun ..Great video Kev ..x❤️🥰💕

[@SydneyFoodBoy]

Thanks for letting me know mate! Will work on it. 🙂 This one was a tough one running two different mics on two different cameras

[@mikeoakeshart3823]

I think the green thingy on nasi Padang is not spinach, it's cassava leaves.

[@SydneyFoodBoy]

Yes it's cassava! We learnt more about it after :)

[@SydneyFoodBoy]

Yes, we had to get special permission to eat in! But they tell me they're going to open back up for dine in soon. They don't have enough consistent staff at the moment to do dine in unfortunately, that's why

[@SydneyFoodBoy]

I'll check it out some time! What is your favourite order there?

[@DeadmanWalkinTaker]

I get grilled chicken (ayam bakar/ with rice n salad. The lady there was so nice as to even have made a raw sambal (the one i saw on the menu was a fried sambal, which comes out on the sweeter end) for me when i asked if there was any available. The food is very true to home and the mum that works there is always very inviting. Makes it hard not to go there everytime im at Belmore!
