I’m so impressed you toured the sub!! I grew up with a brother fascinated by machinery so used to know all the facts about subs and tanks and planes 😂 I’ve also loved touring battleships as an adult on coastal vacations, but am so claustrophobic I can’t imagine doing a sub! Kind of gave me heart flutters just watching you guys do it. Lol If memory serves, I think those doors are called hatches? Adding another location to my to-see list! ❤ PS Always comment too soon and find more amazing stuff - LOVED hearing the history and learning about Alan’s training! I’ve only been here a year or so, is there a past video with more about him, about your background, how you started traveling, how you met and started traveling together, the backstory?
In the Ecuador videos I shared more about my background as I had a lot of live videos answering questions but in 2010 I took a career break and bought a one way ticket to Mexico to start a longer round the world trip of 1-2 years. The blog was just to give me some purpose and share my travels but after a year it turned into my job and I never went back to advertising agency life. Right before the pandemic I was based in Cuba and had been traveling for 10 years. I came home for 18 months and had always wanted to shoot video but never had the time so I decided to start with my phone exploring Nova Scotia as we had locked down so early we weren’t affected like other areas and could travel freely. I immediately loved video and after a year of shooting and editing on my phone I hired an editor in Indonesia. I also felt comfortable enough to leave and went to Ecuador, a country I knew well. A good friend is a tour guide there and wasn’t working so I hired him and we shot 100 videos all over the country. My goal was to inspire people to support local businesses and to explain traditional food so they would feel comfortable getting out of tourist spots. My editor suggested I come to Indonesia, specifically Sumatra because it’s known to have Indonesia’s best food. There I hired a great guide to has become a friend but one morning he invited me to breakfast and Alan was there. Alan taught himself English at an early age, learning three words a day at first. His vocabulary is shocking at times when we play wordle as he gets the words usually faster than I do. But he wanted to travel so he became a mariner. But his mother was so worried about him that he eventually quit and became a guide. Tourism just hasn’t rebounded in Sumatra so he decided to travel with me and he’s now teaching himself camera and photography work.
@@ayngelina THANK YOU 😊 I think I found you near the end of the Ecuador time, remember you going home for a bit and realized you’re Canadian. I need to go backwards and watch more! Your focus on food is so different than many of the other folks I watch, and even though I just turned 60 I don’t really jive with a lot of the retired nomad channels, or the party-hearty 20-somethings either! Lol Anyhoo, once house is sold and ready to go, I’ll be stepping up to the patreon level! I think I’ve mentioned before that I’d never really thought about SE Asia but you’ve added the entire area to my list! Happy fall to you both. 🍁
From the many culinary reviews of traditional Indonesian food, which is very diverse, there are many kinds of culinary delights, especially types of soupy dishes, on the TH-cam channel. Very few foreigners or foreigners try the typical Surabaya - Lamongan dish, namely Tahu Campur. A type of soup dish that is usually found at night. Mixed tofu is a dish seasoned with black shrimp paste that you can taste when you are in the East Java area, especially in the cities of Surabaya, Gresik, Sidoarjo, Lamongan and the sellers generally come from the city of Lamongan and then spread to various city areas in East Java, which is why it is known as Lamongan Mixed Tofu. Tahu Campur is a dish consisting of a slightly thick beef soup with a mixture of shrimp paste, fried tofu slices, cassava cakes or lento, fresh bean sprouts, fresh watercress, yellow noodles and shrimp crackers.
Thank you for visiting Surabaya. You saw some old Dutch buildings but there's many others spread throughput the older areas plus old Chinese buildings further up north. I wonder if my son Cak Dave has seen your videos and especially this one. He is a youtuber too ..londokampung. He has begun doing culinary videos recently after being well known for doing prank videos.
@ayngelina: from Surabayan here, the name rawon setan is not because it’s super spicy but rather because they started out only open at night like 10pm until 3am.
I was born there ...my lovely hometown ... Actually Surabaya is just one of typical city.... Yess...so many historical heritage building (the bridge the Dam the bank building goverment office etc) Before might be Dutch colony plan to build Surabaya as big city ... But the plane is change after WW and independent of Indonesia ... So many civilliant involving at the war ...fight for freedom ...came from different region base on east Java ...assembly at the Surabaya ...and the war is held more than 10 days... And one of the great British general was killed... That why we as local Indonesian called Surabaya is "kota pahlawan" (the city of Hero)...the spirit at that moment is massive ...fight for freedom ...modern enemy support by allied army ...big ship landed at that city ...that why Indonesia prepared fullpower to stop and fight them ...( Moment is happening after Indonesia declare the independent) That is simple short history about my hometown ... Traveling ...sightseeing...! Yess ..my reccomend is go to malang city ....arround an Hour by car ... Mountaining natural small city ...and very worth to see and explore ...don't forget Bromo mountaint ... Some spot my reccomend at malang city ... 1.museum angkot... 2.jatim park 1,2 or 3 ...its huge spot ... 3.mount Bromo ... 4.water fall...(plenty waterfall in malang you can figure it our..) See...the wild animal...? Visit "TAMAN SAFARI PRIGEN"...experiencing see the wild free animal by CAR...(its very safe) and also its huge spot ... The spot that I mention is populair ...and HUGE ...prepare well schedule for one day for one spot ...because its realy realy huge and of course cheap ... 5. Alun alun batu ....kind small square spot for the local with bounce of cullinarry ...dinner ,streetfood,romantic spot is worth to explore ... 6.Tea plantation or Apple or strawberry gardening ...purchase right on the farming gardening spot ... And unique Apple of malang ...green small but very good... Still many more spot ... Cafe restaurant waterfall swiming pool (warm/hot water and sulphur) came straight of the mountaint ... Malang is worth .... Cullinarry ... And the cost is way cheaper.... And ... Anyone is welcome ...
I was going to say that you needed to add some spice to the longton, and then you did...lol. Both that and rawon looked amazing. I love spice, so excited to try some east Java food.
Rawon in 2023 stated as The Best Soup in the world Atlas Taste Version. And East Java is the Central of Rawon : Surabaya-Lumajang-Malang is the central.
Well I don’t really put much trust in Taste Atlas as they describe a bunch of foods incorrectly and I’m not sure who writes it but I do believe rawon is delicious and worthy of the title
Unfortunately, the sambal in lontong balap is part of the whole taste of lontong balap. I wish they would separate petis and chili, so non spicy guys like me could still get a good taste of petis but less chili spice.
I know! I can do a medium spice but it was too much. But you know off camera even Alan said wow that was too spicy and he's from one of the spiciest islands - Sumatra.
rawon setan got it's name not because of spicyness. it dates back before weird biblical terms applied to symbolize spicynes. it's because it used to open late at night, so late, that people called it the time where demons/spirits (setan) came out.
Wouldn't suggest Surabaya as Tourist Destination. As layover to go to Bromo, yes. There's nothin in the city itself, everything is built to cater for the local population. They have enough stuff to get by but not enough as tourist attraction.
Oh you’re right! I just googled that and it says: Rawon Setan literally means Satan's rawon or devil's rawon. It got that name because originally they were only open from 10pm to dawn. Thank you for letting me know!
It's the fifth food taste after sweet, sour, salty, and bitter. It's hard to explain the flavor but it is savory and common in Asian foods. Some people think it's from MSG but it also exists in things like miso, mushrooms, Parmesan cheese, meat, and tomatoes. Ini merupakan rasa makanan kelima setelah manis, asam, asin, dan pahit. Sulit untuk menjelaskan rasanya tetapi gurih dan umum ditemukan pada makanan Asia. Beberapa orang mengira itu berasal dari MSG tetapi juga ada pada miso, jamur, keju parmesan, daging, dan tomat.
Komentar yg terlambat 😂 . Sebagai orang Surabaya menolak surabaya jadi ibukota karna akan menjadi kota yang terlalu sibuk dan macet. Makanan apa pun jika diolah di surabaya pasti enak karna lidah orang surabaya sensitif dengn makanan yg hambar
Hello Ayngelina & thanks 4 Surabaya video. Stayed in Malang and enjoyed sambal & tempeh, very cool town!
Malang is the next video. I loved it!
Thanks for the close up footage of real submarine. Very interesting.
So happy you enjoyed it, it was really so interesting to see
If you have a chance to visit surabaya (again), you really want to try "sate klopo". Its just in surabaya.
We had it! One night on the street sitting on carpets but I didn’t have my camera but it was so delicious
@@ayngelina I know, right. Lucky you to get that chance (not so lucky with the missing camera tho :O ).
I know it was such a rookie mistake not to carry a camera as mine are small

It sounds delicious! I will blame it on Alan as he planned our food, but he is from West Sumatra and this was not on his list!
Thank you for visiting Surabaya. You saw some old Dutch buildings but there's many others spread throughput the older areas plus old Chinese buildings further up north.

I think East Java food is spicier than Sumatran, even Alan admitted he had to be careful with the sambal.
@@ayngelina I remember Indonesia spice being the spiciest I've had. It's been many years, so I'm super excited to see if it is as spicy as I remember.
I find Java to be sweet but East Java to be fire 🤣
I cant imagine the taste of Durian !!
It’s not always bad. Some of them are fruity and good like blue cheese mixed with pear.
Sour cream with chives mixed with rehydrated pureed mango
Good one!
Hold yer nose but taste like custard in heaven
Yes i surabsya.... nostagisa baitiful.....😮😮😮
I do love it there 😍
Surabaya has very good taste and delicious dish 👍🏼, you should eat lontong balap with clam satay
Well I loved the lontong balap so I’ll come back for the clams soon!
Welcome to Surabaya ❤
Terima kasih!

The petis is the soul of the sambal in lontong balap. If they were separated, then it’d be soulless
Lontong balab faforit saya❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉
Enak lamak!

I knew what they meant 😊
Have a nice trip beautiful woman
Thank you! 😃
You look Fery good

rawon setan got it's name not because of spicyness. it dates back before weird biblical terms applied to symbolize spicynes. it's because it used to open late at night, so late, that people called it the time where demons/spirits (setan) came out.
Ahhh that makes sense, thanks for clarifying
Wouldn't suggest Surabaya as Tourist Destination. As layover to go to Bromo, yes. There's nothin in the city itself, everything is built to cater for the local population. They have enough stuff to get by but not enough as tourist attraction.
That is exactly what makes it special, you see local life and experience local tourism instead of just hanging out with other foreigners.
I am a Surabaya local, but in my opinion, Surabaya has been transforming to cater tourists as well. More nature and culture to explore.
901 bc or ad i don't know which one...🤣🤣🤣
Both are a long time ago!
11:54 The name Rawon Satan is because the restaurant start to open at 11pm
Oh you’re right! I just googled that and it says: Rawon Setan literally means Satan's rawon or devil's rawon. It got that name because originally they were only open from 10pm to dawn.
Thank you for letting me know!

It's the fifth food taste after sweet, sour, salty, and bitter. It's hard to explain the flavor but it is savory and common in Asian foods. Some people think it's from MSG but it also exists in things like miso, mushrooms, Parmesan cheese, meat, and tomatoes.

🥰 I understand why you’d want to protect it
Why you didn't take krupuk for complimenting your lontong balap?
I did afterwards but didn’t get it on camera. No meal is complete without a cracker of some sort!
Hi, how are you? Do you like Indonesian food?
Oh I love it but it’s so spicy here 🥵
anda masih di Indonesia
Are you still in Indonesia?
I like watching your videos you are beautiful
Right now I’m in Thailand but going to Indonesia next week for a series on Sulawesi
Surabaya green but HoT..
Yes like Semarang
"Lontong Balap" not Lontong Belap
Thank you for the correction!

Why don't you find out about Islam. And you can compare the Quran and the Bible. In Islam, Jesus is a prophet, not a god.
And God is one, not three.
Oh I have learned so much already as all my Indonesian friends ( other than Aloy) are Muslim and so is Alan my boyfriend.
