When the food is originated from land of spices, you can actually expect the explosion of flavour there.. For those who haven't tried Indo food before, be careful with their chilli, when the seller say it's spicy it means 10 times spicier than you expected, lol.. They dont play around with spices..
Agree! It's not like local-standard spiciness but closer to Thai-level of spiciness 👍 I am not talking about Indonesian fusion food but the authentic taste 😃
@@IslandGal96816 I've lived a few weeks in Thailand and tasted a lot of spicy food there. in Indonesia the spicy taste is like savory and addictive, but your sweat will be very much. While the spicy Thais I've tried stings my nose and the spices mix kinda different

Selamat Siang!! I’m American living in Bali now and bless your grandma!! I love Lontong Sayur and everything I see!! I’ve been here for a year. Next time I’m back home in LA (not soon..ha ha), I will stop by for Medan Makan!! Sampai Jumpa 🙏🏽

@@lenziany Yeah if you can take spicyness its ok but sometimes there are extremely spicy dishes like Ayam Rica Rica. If you cant take spice. It will burn your mouth.
of course you've heard that fried rice comes from Indonesia and one more thing is Tempe, that food if you eat it often you will turn away from any meat
If only we got more authentic Indonesian restaurants abroad. I have a dream that someday Nasi Bungkus will be as popular in the world as Japanese Bento or Korean Bibimbap (they are basically the same concept, rice + side dishes put together).
The food looks authentic and delicious. I also appreciate that the host gives really accurate information, even he ate with his hands like how Indonesians do.
Holy crap dude. I live in holland, and holland occupied indonesia for centuries. One would say the most complete and authentic indonesian food outside indonesia itself should be holland, but seing the menu there...it blows my mind. You got more dishes than one could ever find in the netherlands. The choice there put the choice here in shame.
@@raimitodd Yeah its mostly Javanese people here. But also a lot of chinese chefs come here to cook since there are many Chinese-Indonesian restaurants (though in fast decline)
Di Amerika harga makanan murah sih (dibandingkan dengan upah minimum mereka), jadi kalau bukan porsinya yang overkill ya campur-campurannya yang begitu...kalau disini (di Jakarta) ada sih yang menyajikan nasi kuning +ayam+ telor+ kentang Mustofa+sapi (tapi bukan rendang, bisa request mungkin) Kateringnya Ny.Hendrawan
Biasanya kalau di daerah sumatera utara, apalagi yang masak orang chinese, biasanya nasi kuningnya dipadukan dengan ayam rendang, telor, sayur seperti kaya di video.. doyan banget kalau udah makan ini.. ditambah kerupuk .. beuh mantep
Indonesian cuisine is known for its rich, bold flavors and unique blend of spices and herbs. The country's diverse culture and geography have contributed to the development of a wide variety of delicious and distinctive dishes. From fiery curries and soups to sweet desserts and snacks, Indonesian cuisine has something to offer everyone. One of the standout features of Indonesian cuisine is its use of spices and herbs. The country's tropical climate has allowed for the cultivation of an extensive range of spices and herbs used to flavor many dishes.
We stop by to grab a bunch of food each time we are in LA! It’s challenging to come across a real deal Indonesian restaurant in the States. This spot is truly a gem. My partner and his family are from Indonesia and we love this place! We also just travelled to Indonesia and can say that the dishes at this restaurant can satisfy the authentic tastes we miss dearly.
In Medan noddle soup is very popular and delicious. Every region has its own food specials like Sundanese food is totally different and very famous. Raw vegetables dipped in Sambal Terassi is not everybodies taste but people from Jakarta love it. My favourite was Soto Batawi or Soto Bandung, Nasi Padang, Sate Kambing, Ayam or Cumi Rica2 and many other dishes l had in the 22 years living in Indonesia.... I miss the food sometimes but l am also cooking many dishes at home at an retire.
Everyone who lives nearby should really try medan food, its one of the best food in Indonesia specially chinese Indonesian, we love it so much, then u know why Indonesia food is the best food, it will make u come again n again. Full of flavour but complete each others
If you're food lovers, I think you're gonna love these foods. I can guarantee, that's the real deal for food lovers. Bcs they're abt to blow your taste buds and eyes. The spices, the chilis, the colors is just *chef kiss
Medan is my hometown..heavenly food indeed. There are more options besides what Ai Medan serves. But Hat off, Authentic Medan Kitchen. SHE is amazing..
Even in indonesia that medan kitchen food looks very authentic it self. Looks so delicious from what i can get here. Especially that complete nasi kuning
Waaooo... all my fav food.. mksih ai buat masakan nya, slalu sehat selalu, panjang umur dan restoran menjadi berkat buat yg lain 😘🧡 Love from jakarta, indonesia
Looks so great..and tasty....there is a menu that i never try yet here in Indonesia...mix of yellow rice, rendang and chicken, hopefully gonna taste it there.
Each city has different seasonings for Lontong sayur . Padang, Batavia, Sunda , Java, and others. Indonesia is rich in spices. I prefer Batavia for Lontong sayur. Greetings for all. 🙏😁
Although the name of the resto is Medan Kitchen, but almost various foods from Indonesia were there😅. I knew it will be delicious. Mostly, woman from Medan can cooking delicious food.
As an Indonesian, man I respect you for eating that nasi bungkus bare handed. We Indonesian love eating food with our hands, I mean it. Edit: Dude!! You even ate that nasi padang bare handed too! I love you man :)
Thank you that review one of the indobesia food you shuld come to indonesia someday go to bali n jogya palembang and many .....they are all good taste. I'm glad that you like it. Thank a lots .....👍👍
I'm an Indonesian living in the UK who's tired of my own cooking and missing Indonesian food like crazy.After watching this vlog, I wanted to fly all the way to the US to try all of the food in Medan Kitchen instead of going back to Indonesia 🤣.
@@a.christian6003 Right! And pay exorbitant prices for the snacks🙄. The food prices seem reasonable to me. But as usual, the prices of imported Indonesian products abroad would cost me an arm and a leg! Can't stop calculating the prices in rupiah 😅
jump over the pond to the Netherlands! there’s a lot of options over here (beyond the Dutch-ified rijsttafel), except if you’re looking for ikan lele..
I am Malaysian but I visit Indonesia regularly. Seriously Medan is the food heaven of Indonesia. When I visit Medan, nasi padang is my stapple night and day.
The food seems pretty authentic, except one thing, when you actually buy those in Indonesia and not in fancy restaurant, you get higher rice to "lauk" ratio. In this video the rice is always less than half of the whole meal, so you get way more flavor, but if you buy it here in Indonesia it will be more like 2/3 rice and 1/3 lauk.
Anyone know if she makes Martabak Telor? Lumpia (egg rolls) Com com chicken (fried crisp chicken) Foo Yung -Indonesian egg foo Yung Lumper-sticky rice balls with meat inside Shrimp chips? (Or market/sweet but shrimp) Fried tofu and egg(w/green onion). All I can think of right now. Thanks. 👍👍 Checking out the festival this weekend (hopefully) and then her spot in Rosemead. 👍👍🌹👍👍
oh it's an authentic Indonesian restaurant indeed, they've got the jackfruit on the es cendol! it adds the sweet and fragrant aroma to the drink, it's a perfect addition to any dessert ❤️
