Its originally from Jogja and Solo, so you shud try here. And you can try the best Nasi Liwet in Solo also. I bet you will love it!
Hi mark…if killing people is legal. I would like to kill you.. I live in usa right now, half way round the world from indonesia. Cant wait for your next trip. Bandung is such a comfort city! You can find it allover in the main road. This is a very good article, so many dishes!
I am not a big fan of the fish but the beefrib soup looks amazingly delicious to me! I surely have to go and try a lot of them! Hi Mark, loved your Youtube videos on Indonesian food! I love watching your videos. Oh wow I stumbled upon your videos on youtube and it somehow got me here haha.. Keep up the good work, definitely looking forward to your next videos. And you should come to Surabaya, I live in Surabaya, try the street foods for they best describe the true identity of the local cuisines.
We have a wide range of street style bebek goreng options here. We have plenty. You have to try each and every one of them. Hi Dian, haha, awesome to hear that, it has to be one of the creamiest things ever. I hope you can enjoy your stay here in Indonesia as much as you enjoy the food. I really enjoy watching your videos, it makes me drool XD. Hi Cory, thank you very much. My wife and I really enjoyed our stay in Jakarta. Thank you for your support. Hello mark, My name is Egi from Indonesia.
I really like your videos and it makes me hungry everytime I watch it. I think you should try Sate Kardjan in Bandung which was established since Sate buntel is different with the other goat satay, the minced goat meat are covered with the fatty juicy meat on the outside.
And the size is actually huge, you can eat one satay with one plate of rice. I really recommend this food since i never found the best satay like Sate Kardjan in Bandung. Hi Egi, great to hear from you, thank you for the suggestion.
That looks incredible. I will keep it on my list for next time I visit Indonesia! But hey, we all have our differences, right? However, I realized that nobody have mentioned Banjarese food from South Kalimantan Borneo , which I think among the most underrated ethnic food in Indonesia probably, being half-Banjarese myself I might be biased.
Some of the Banjarese dishes I recommend: 1. Ketupat kandangan 3. Ayam masak Habang Chicken cooked in Habang style 4. Banjarese Nasi kuning with haruan a fish species endemic to rivers in Kalimantan 5. Freshwater prawn. Hey Allie, really appreciate your reading and for your recommendations. Banjarese food sounds incredible, I would love to try it in the future!
Hi, Mr Wiens. And it was so fascinating to know that foreigners are loving our food. Hi Rifqa, thank you very much for watching, and for the food recommendations. Appreciate the correction as well. Hi Mark, my husband is a fan of you.
Soto Betawi H. Darwasa also known as Soto Madurasa, or Soto Roxy. For me they serve the best soto betawi. The menu called Tepi Sawah Crispy Duck, it is basically half a duck, served with rice, curried long beans you can ask to exchange it with plecing kangkung , and 3 kinds of sambal; Sambal Goreng my favorite , Sambal Terasi, and Sambal Matah.
The other Sundanese food there are also delicious. The outlet I often visit is at Batu Tulis, near Pecenongan. Anyway this post of you really makes me appreciate my local dish more. I do like the fact that you like sambal. Food does taste more delicious when you add sambal lol. Hi Reen, thank you and your husband for watching our videos and for your food suggestions — they sound delicious.
I will definitely keep them on my list for next time I visit Jakarta. Hope you and your husband have a great trip to Bangkok! Wow, you had a lot of Indonesian foods!
I just have to say though, you would get a lot more different flavors if you travel away from Jakarta a bit! Oh, and for Manado food, you completely missed out Paniki! If you have extra time, you should also try to go to other cities in Indonesia. Jakarta might be our capital city, but trust me when I say that when you travel away from one city to another, you will find a lot more different flavors in Indonesia!
Hey Michy, thank you very much, appreciate you reading and for your support. But thank you for your recommendations! Mark your awesome I love your blog and vlog in youtube, I think i will start to subscribe your channel and read your blog.
And Thanks for your visiting And Explore food in Indonesia. By The way Good Reaction after your eat food wkwkwk. Another sambal I love is sambal roa from Manado which is made with smoked roa fish—the Manadonese eat their fried bananas with sambal roa!
Try also Gohu Ikan from Ternate, which is the Indonesian version of sashimi, eaten with… chillies, peanuts, shallots, and lime of course, what else? Hey Alika, awesome to hear from you, and thank you for all your food suggestions.
Are you able to come back to Indonesia occasionally for a visit? It serves you the best Rendang of all. Hi Jason, thank you for the recommendation. I was going to try to eat at Garuda, but just ran out of time. Next time for sure. Satay: try satay jaya agung sabang. Chick and goar satays are very good and no fat. U can try soup also. The name of the food stall is Martabak Har. Great food choice.
Thank you for sharing with us! Hahaha btw nice guide. Hi Mark, I am Indonesian, Glad that you made this awesome list, really makes me hungry!! Thanks for your time to create 50 of the best Indonesian foods. Any plan to visit my country? You have a good taste. I could not agree more with your list. I think you need to go other city such as Surabaya, because Surabaya has a lot of authentic and delicious food.
Hello sir, i really love to see your youtube channel. Especially your natural happy face when you enjoy the many kinds of indonesian food. It really makes me proud as an indonesian because now i realize that we have plenty kind of dishes with amazing taste. Anyway sir, you have to come to my city , Malang. You can find many kind of indonesian food. Overall, I really enjoy your video, thanks for your incredible work sir.
And for me it is one of most delicious food in the world. The authentic of aceh resto is seulawah, very close from rumah makan surya, a padang resto that u visited in bendungan hilir, jakarta. Hats off to you! Hi Mark, It would be nice to have this guides in PDF from; I was try to print this page but I think there is something wrong with the formatting.
I know at least two versions of Nasi Liwet. However, I am not sure where to find it in Jakarta. Nasi liwet sundanese style.
You can find one in Pecenongan area near Martabak 65A. Thanks for the great guide! As 2 years ago I decided to change from wintering in Thai-Isaan to wintering in Indonesia currently Bali , I can make some comments to some dishes.
Pepes — these are quite popular and not only served in Sundanese restaurants. I especially like the Pepes Ikan which may be completely different from restaurant to restaurant. Bebek Goreng — a question: did you also got it served without the breast?
Ikan Goreng — as written the Gurami is the most popular. If you again come to Indonesia and order it, also try the large dorsal and anal fins with some sambal. Nasi Goreng — well, like for many westerners this is a favourite, for me at least if done well. Nasi Goreng Kebon Sirih which you also mentioned is so famous for it, it made a whole page in a Germany weekly magazine.
Bubur Ajam — other than in Thailand where Khao Tom Gai is a breakfast only dish, the Bubur Ajam is either Breakfast or more popular for dinner, smaller warungs serving it from morning to early evening, but also specialised restaurants serving nearly only Bubur with a lot of things to combine.
Nasi Padang — in the Pesan version this is one of the best ways to eat with friends as there is so much variety on the table to choose from but still remaining quite on the economy side for a feast. Rawon — this is also one of my favourites. When I stayed at this hotel I never had dinner outside and tried a lot from the menu repeating the two best dishes at the last night and Rawon was one of them.
One thing I was missing in your report was Atjar, the raw pickles served as side dish with a lot of soups. I always make them at home to snack them in front of the TV. Hello Mark. I just subscribed your channel these days and I always smile whenever you eat your food.
Your happy smile while eating makes me feel like I eat what you ate. Haha your expression is so on the point. That sambal is so great and garlicy, and so spicy for me You will miss sambal so, buy that x. Hi Aca, thank you very much, really appreciate you watching. Next time I visit Indonesia, I would love to try this type of sambal, sounds amazing.
Wow, what an effort. I will love to try some of this when i make my first trip to Indonesia. BTW,are you have bought some batik to your wife or just for you or for your friends?? Yummm……Mouth watering food! Amazing post. I like fish. Thanks for sharing this great post. Thank you for visited my country! Your video make me homesick???? Just for your information, you can easily find Sundanese food in Bandung i.
Alas Daun, Boemi Joglo, Ampera, etc. Hi Tasya, thank you very much for watching, and for the recommendations. I had a small sample of tempoyak before, but not very much, so I would love to try more. Hi Mark, Suddenly i am hungry. If you lucky, you can find at East Java region because it hard to find it, sound like mythology creature haha… And i see you like so much spicy food and sambal, may you can try Jangan Blendi it like jack fruit curry with raw chilies as main ingredient.
Hi Charles, thank you very much. Wow, that sounds like a very interesting dish, I would love to try it in the future. Eating is my favourite pastime. What was just random looking for a good food site on youtube lead me to your fabulous and mouth watering vids. The very first vid I watched was when you attended a local wedding in Langkawi.
Since then I watch your vids religiously. Its amazing how every bite you take is a new adventure. You have this amazing skill of making me and I think everyone who watches your vids like we are there eating with you, its very heartbreaking because reality is that we are not.. Keep those vids coming and thanks for all the information that you share. Jakarta…here I come! Hey Tina, thank you very much for your kind words and for watching my videos.
Thank you again! Hi Mark, I really love read your blog and watch your video. I truly recommend you to visit Surabaya next time. Unlike Jakarta which you can find a lot of food accross Indonesia, Surabaya has its own unique delicacies, especially if you love spicy food.
Hi Adrian, very nice to hear from you, thank you for reading and watching the videos. Indonesia has treasure in food. Hi Nada, it was amazing to visit Indonesia for the food. I would love to come back again for lots more! Thanks for this, Mark. The satay is amazing, my favorite was the satay Padang, and also the sate kambing at Sudi Mampir Restaurant the goat soup restaurant.
Nice guid Mark! Since you really love sambal in general did you go to a restaurant that specialized in different kind of sambal in Indonesia? Hi Fauzi, thank you very much. An all sambal restaurant sounds wonderful. I watch your video almost everyday — before I go to bed!
This list is very representative and you visited some of my favourite restaurants esp for soto betawi, sate padang, and fried duck! My husband is American and he eats sambal just as crazy as you he also loves petai and tempe! Keep posting! Hi UZ, great to hear from you, thank you very much. Awesome that we all share the love for similar tastes of sambal and petai! And please tell me you at least had kerupuk udang or prawn crackers along with it.
Hi Addie, thank you very much, oh yah that sounds good, that is unfortunately. Next time I eat rawon I will try to have it. You were in Jakarta for just 2 weeks but you have tried more food than I have. I may try some of the food based on your video the next time I visit Jakarta. I have a weak stomach, I can never try so many street food here in Indonesia surprisingly not the case in Bangkok.
And I agree that sambal is what makes Indonesian food special. Putra Tanujaya. Hi mark, i have seen your videos on your youtube channel and its very exciting. As i know that you are a food traveller, maybe if one day you want to visit indonesia again, especially surabaya i would like to give you some reference about place to eat visit my link below and i believe you will have another greatfull indonesian cullinary experience. Hey, great to hear from you, thank you very much for watching our videos.
Glad you love sambal too! Hi, Mark. I love your reaction when you eat something delicious. I enjoy your video so much. Thank you for bring up Indonesian Food to the worldwide.
I hope you enjoy your day in Indonesia and come again someday. Hello from jakarta… Im feeling great and honour read your post…. You should try pindang ikan… Its kind like fish soup from south sumatera… Sour, and full herb… My favourite….
Your facial expression and your samba chili intake are the best part of it! You are one awesome dude! And thanks for exposing a real Indonesian food for the soul internationally! Hey Anit, thank you very much, really appreciate your support.
It was so much fun to learn and discover more about Indonesian food. You made me jealous now!!! Now you put it here, I will definitely visit it!
Hi Woro, great to hear from you, thank you for reading. Enjoy the bubur ayam! I think if you really want to taste a really good Nasi padang you should visit Bukittinggi in West Sumatera. They have what they call Nasi Kapau. They serve various curry, like cow stomach, cow intestine, cow heart, cow foot???????? So plenty of choices.
You could take the plane from Thailand to Kuala Lumpur and then fly for 50 minutes to Padang???? Hi Mark after watching your video, i fell that you really crushed me into pieces.. I am at the moment studying in Germany.
Hi Wirawan, thank you very much for reading this, oh sorry to do that to you!! Hope you can get some good Indonesian food soon. Amazing review… But somekind like nasi goreng fried rice mie noodle , bihun vermicelli , kwetiau flat rice noodle they all have different taste between javanese, aceh, medan, bagan few cities in indonesia.
Many kinds of soups, soto also kind of soup , grills fish, chicken, sate and also rice set. Because mostly our main dish always has rice. Durian and daun pepaya should not be listed. Unless, pancake durian and oseng daun pepaya. Opor ayam, semur dan sambel goreng are important too!
Ketupat sayur? I am Indonesian but I live far away from my home town, Bandung. You stayed in Veranda Hotel in Gandaria. Actually, that area is also the center of street food too. Their rendang, brain curry and shank gulai sengkel in Indonesian … OMG!
Love your blog, excellent comments and videos. Keep it up your food blog and exploring more Indonesian cuisines. Hi Santri, very nice to hear from you, and glad you love Nasi Padang so much! I wish I would have had time to visit Bandung on this trip, but ran out of time, so would love to visit on my next trip.
Hope you can visit home again soon for some delicious food! Thank you Mark! Your Indonesian selection is brilliant… so inspiring!! So fine! Do you have any leads? Practically everything is available here… Blissful! Again, thanks for your enthusiasm and million dollar smile! Hey Bo, thank you very much.
Have you ever been to the Indonesian embassy in Bangkok for lunch? All of the street food there are top notch quality and quite clean! From bakso, to siomay, until more delicious stuff like cimol! Once again, may I thank you for this beautiful presentation on Indonesian food. Though I travelled there for a few times, I must admit that there are more places of interest than I realised.
I will definitely make it a point to taste some of the dishes that you have carefully crafted. Happy travelling. Hi Dini, thank you very much, really appreciate your support. Thank you for the street food area recommendation.
Love watching your food videos. I love the way you describe and compare the flavors you find on each food. For example, you are right on the chocolate nutty flavor of kluwak. Hey Joe, really appreciate your kind words and support, thank you.
Haha, that would be awesome, and that was so cool Obama and Bourdain. Kupang : a soup of tiny little clam like rice form in petis cured shrimp paste served with rice cake, clam sate, sea cucumber crackers and of course petis sambal, and always complemented with young coconut meat and water drink, you can googling the picture of kupang dish 2.
Nasi Udang : Another typical surabaya dishes, Rice with fried coated flour tiny shrimp served with shreded fried beef, prawn crackers and of course very spicy belacan sambal 5. Each vendor seeks distinction, but "sate madura" -- served with rice cakes ketupat and diced cucumber and onion -- is distinguished by its boat-shaped street carts.
Sate Ragusa serves legendary satay that dates to the s. Its signature spaghetti ice cream is a perfect dish to cleanse the palate after a meal. Sate Ragusa , Jl. Veteran 1 No. We're not always sure what's in it, but we're always sure we'll want more. A favorite among students, this savory meatball noodle soup gained international fame when U.
President Barack Obama remembered it as one of his favorites during a visit to Jakarta. The meatballs -- springy or rubbery, the size of golf balls or bigger -- are made from chicken, beef, pork or some amorphous combination of them all. Sold mostly from pushcarts called kaki lima, bakso comes garnished with fried shallots, boiled egg and wontons. Bakso Lapangan Tembak Senayan , Jl. Gerbang Pemuda 1, Senayan, Jakarta. This traditional meat soup comprises a broth and ingredients that vary across the archipelago.
Common street versions are made of a simple, clear soup flavored with chicken, goat or beef. In Jakarta, home of the indigenous Betawi, soto Betawi garners fame with its sweet, creamy, coconut-milk base.
It's usually topped with crispy shallots and fried garlic, and as much or little sambal as taste buds can take. Kafe Betawi , No.
LG No. Thamrin No. Soto Madura, Jl. Juanda No. Nasi goreng. Considered Indonesia's national dish, this take on Asian fried rice is often made with sweet, thick soy sauce called kecap pronounced ketchup and garnished with acar, pickled cucumber and carrots. To add an element of fun to the experience, diners can try nasi gila or "crazy rice" and see how many different kinds of meat they can find buried among the grains -- yes, those are hot dog slices.
Menteng Plaza, Lantai Ground, Jl. Cokroaminoto No. Go global with your appetite -- 23 best cities for street food. Literally "mix-mix," the term gado-gado is often used to describe situations that are all mixed up -- Jakarta, for instance, is a gado-gado city.
As a food, however, it's one of Indonesia's best-known dishes, essentially a vegetable salad bathed in the country's classic peanut sauce.
At its base are boiled long beans, spinach, potato, corn, egg and bean sprouts coupled with cucumber, tofu and tempe. Gado-gado gets sweeter as you travel eastward through Indonesia -- but Jakartans swear by the cashew sauce at Gado-Gado Boplo. Gado-Gado Boplo, Jl. Panglima Polim IX No. Nasi uduk. A perennial favorite among native Betawi, nasi uduk is rice cooked in coconut milk and includes a pinwheel of various meat and vegetable accoutrements.
It almost always includes fried chicken, boiled eggs and tempe soybean cake with anchovies and is topped with emping melinjo nut crackers. It's cheap, fast and popular among lunchtime crowds. Nearly four decades old and still going strong, Nasi Uduk Babe Saman packs in everyone from students to celebrities morning, noon and night. Nasi padang. Nasi padang is a meal with steamed rice accompanied by more than a dozen dishes -- goopy curries with floating fish heads or rubbery cow's feet -- stacked up on the table.
The best way is to chuck away the cutlery and dig in with hands then wash the spice away with a sweet iced tea. Garuda Nasi Padang , Jl. Gajah Mada no. Ayam goreng. The key to Indonesian fried chicken is the use of small village birds, whose freedom to run around the yard makes them tastier than the big chunks of meat at KFC. Variations on that chain have cropped up across the country -- rumor has it that one of these was founded by a polygamist, so franchisees must have multiple wives.
Bakmi goreng. Noodles compete with rice for carbohydrate of choice in Indonesia, ranging from broad and flat kwetiau to scrawny vermicelli bihun. The best are bakmi -- pencil-thin and, in this case, fried with egg, meat and vegetables. Vendors add their own special spices for distinction, but the iconic Bakmi Gajah Mada garners a cult following. More modern outlets now make noodles from spinach and beets.
Bakmi Gang Mangga gives diners an in to the cool hangouts in the old city, but only after 5 p. For an earlier version, try Bakmi GM on Jl. Bakmi GM, Jl. Sunda No. In view of the contacts Indonesia has had with China over the centuries , its cuisine naturally reflects many elements of its Chinese counterpart. These can be found in dishes like bakni tagliatelle , bakso meat or fish balls , and lumpia similar to what is probably the most famous Chinese food, the spring roll , which are such an integral part of Indonesian cuisine that hardly anyone remembers their foreign origins.
A more recent, yet just as strong, the influence was the influx of people from Europe , from the Spanish and Portuguese traders who brought their traditions to the Dutch, the last ones to colonize Indonesia before it won its independence. This also determined the diffusion of ingredients that were previously only known about in the islands to which they belonged. Despite spanning a multitude of variations, Indonesian cuisine still preserves its own specific profile that is common to the entire archipelago.
This tradition is recognizable in some popular Indonesian dishes such as nasi goreng , gado-gado , satay and soto , which are now household names all over the world and considered national Indonesian dishes. But the populations who came to Indonesia were also influenced by them. In fact, some popular Indonesian dishes crossed the Indonesian borders and can commonly be found today in most of South East Asia.
Think about satay or rendang the famous pork stew with typical Middle Eastern flavors , two dishes that are now favorites in Malaysia and Singapore. Not to mention sambal , the well-known spicy sauce that comes in various versions, often served with the typical dishes of Indonesian cuisine. Or the variations on the use of soy that originated in Indonesia and soon became popular in the rest of Asia, now spreading to the rest of the world. And it is courtesy of Indonesia that vegetarians all over the world were introduced not only to an excellent meat substitute, tofu tahu , but also to the original tempeh , made by fermenting yellow soy, food that is rich in protein, fiber, and vitamins and also bursting with taste!
The cuisine of Indonesia is not the only thing that characterizes its tradition. In fact, the way the dishes are served is also unique. The most characteristic aspect of Indonesian culture is that meals are always consumed in company. Traditionally, Indonesians would sit on the floor and the food would be served on a banana leaf, or a wooden plate, often using a single container, to underline the sense of community.
Although they all share the same basic elements, in the many islands that make up the archipelago, the various communities have their own characteristics which differentiate them both in terms of the dishes they consume and how they dine together. These then influence one another, to such an extent that it is often difficult to tell what characterized what. In the liwetan or bancakan tradition typical of West or Central Java, people meet up for dinner sitting on the floor around a long low table, and the rice, a staple in all Indonesian meals, is placed in the center, served on banana leaves.
And there's always the iconic gado gado. A huge number of places, including Padang restaurants, offer what's essentially the national dish: nasi campur rice with a variety of side dishes. Here you can skip meat options and go for things such as tofu, tempeh, jackfruit dishes, egg dishes and leafy veggies. There's always the fear that a hidden chilli is going to make your child explode, but proprietors will often warn you if a dish is spicy.
In any case, you can always ask ' Pedas tidak? Children may enjoy nasi goreng, mie goreng fried noodles , bakso meatball soup , mie rebus noodle soup , perkedel fritters , pisang goreng banana fritters , sate, bubur rice porridge , fruit and fruit drinks. Indonesia's sugar-rich iced drinks are useful secret weapons for when energy levels are low.
All of these are available at street stalls and restaurants. Not available, however, are highchairs and kiddie menus. That's not to say children aren't welcome; in fact, they'll probably get more attention than they can handle. In touristy areas and cities you'll find plenty of familiar fast-food joints and convenience stores selling international snacks.
A Magnum bar can quell the worst tantrum. With a population of over million, you'd expect a little variety in Indonesia's culinary customs. There will be no surprises if you are eating at a restaurant, apart from the lack of a menu. However, if eating at someone's house, there are ways of fitting in — or at least not offending — especially if someone invites you into their home for a meal.
In Indonesia hospitality is highly regarded. If you're invited to someone's home for a meal, you'll be treated warmly and social hiccups will be ignored. Nevertheless, here are some tips to make the experience more enjoyable for everyone. Asia Indonesia Indonesia in detail. Eating When you eat in Indonesia you savour the essence of the country. Restaurants Found in cities and tourist destinations. Rumah makan Literally 'eating house' and less formal than restaurants. Warung Simple open-air joints that often specialise in one particular dish.
Street vendors The locals choice for basic noodle and soup dishes. Markets Fantastic for fresh fruit. Everyday eating in Indonesia can challenge your palate. Here are a few favourites. In Nusa Tenggara Timor Alor and Flores in particular there is a scintillating, spicy, oily, mildly astringent dish called ikan kuah assam tamarind fish soup.
It is absolutely sensational. The durian has a serious image problem. This fruit's spiky skin looks like a Spanish Inquisition torture tool, and opening it releases the fruit's odorous power.
Most people form a lifelong passion — or aversion — on their first taste of this sulphury, custardy fruit. Balinese specialities are readily available; look for warungs advertising siobak minced pig's head, stomach, tongue and skin cooked with spices.
For avocado juice, take an avocado, blend with ice and condensed milk or chocolate syrup and serve. Indonesians don't consider this strange, as the avocado is just another sweet fruit. Just like sambal, Indonesia's flavours come in many, many forms. It's worth making a trip to Indonesia just to sample the tropical fruits. Belimbing star fruit is cool and crisp; slice one to see how it gets its name.
Durian is the spiky, smelly fruit people either love or hate. Jambu air water apple is a pink bell-shaped fruit with crisp and refreshing flesh. Manggis mangosteen is a small purple fruit with white fleshy segments and fantastic flavour. Nangka jackfruit is an enormous, spiky fruit that can weigh over 20kg.
Inside are segments of yellow, moist, sweet flesh with a slightly rubbery texture. The flesh can be eaten fresh or cooked in a curry. Rambutan is a bright-red fruit covered in soft spines; the name means 'hairy'.
