Indonesian cuisine was one of the most underpromoted cuisines in the world back in 90s and 2000s..now social media put it on the map..my top 3 favorite in the world ❤
I daresay Indonesian Culture not just cuisines are underpromoted compared to other SEA countries. And what i see SEA country that is mostly promoted in western medias are Philipines, Vietnam, and Malaysia, some Thais, and almost none Burmese, Lao, and Indonesia also Cambodia
Omg yes that got me too 🤣🤣 foreigners would usually pronounce it perrrgehhdelll or such and I was like “what did I hear this right he said PERKEDEL” haha
Hands down best little channel to pop up on my feed makes me want to travel and follow your recommendations and check these awesome little restaurants out! And love the genuine little interviews and spotlight for these places keep it up!
Nasi goreng is originally from China tradition not Indonesia and nasi goreng is famous in the Southeast Asia not only in Indonesia. Nasi goreng is a daily food in Malaysia, Brunei and others too.
@@nenadnedovic9246 no its not Indonesian things. It is SEA things. Nasi Goreng is a daily food in Malaysia Brunei Singapore Thailand and others. Indonesian do not create Nasi Goreng😂
My wife is Indonesian, I'm from the UK. There's so much amazing food in Indonesia that the western world has never heard of. Not sure why it isn't more popular but it should be.
I think one of the reasons is Indonesia has no signature dishes. When we are talking about Japanese food, sushi and ramen will pop up in our heads. When we are talking about Italy, it will be either pizza or pasta. But, Indonesia has no signature dishes. Each part of Indonesia has different tastes. Hence it is hard to promote Indonesian Food.
I gotta say, I love how genuine your channel feels. It's not flashy or one that seems to follow YT algorithm trends that you tend to see with food content channels. I wish you were in Portland!!
Yo, I'm Indonesian and I've been living in North Philly for like 7 months now. Your video about this restaurant just popped and it sounds awesome! Thanks a bunch, man. I'm totally gonna check it out soon.
That shit looks FIRE!! I freaking love Indonesian food but I've only had it a couple times in the Netherlands and I'm worried the US can't compete lol but this gave me some more hope!
What's going on with the algorithm. Never seen any of your vids now suddenly I'm getting them every 3rd or 4th video, sometimes one right after the other. Not that I mind. Great content brother.
I love Padang food. A lot of Malay food has its origins in Padang cuisine. Super yummy and incredible variety. Those small dishes are great for sharing with friends.
I’m ganna need you to make more videos, I just got to the end of what I could watch and my heart sank. These are so good! The algorithm has truly blessed me this day
Where have you been the last decade? My god I absolutely love videos where we get to peek behind the curtain into the wonderful world of food. Bless you!
i’ve always been fascinated with accents in languages and the owners accent intrigues me so much. it seems that she was born in indoneasia but she lived in america for so long that you hear both accents. great vid btw
And one thing from Padang restaurant is that they only charge you with the dishes that you ate, so even if they serve you 20 kinds they won't charge for everything 😊
yep, and if you take only the gravy it won't be charged as long as you don't take the protein with it. so basically you could sample all the gravies in the "hidang" serving for free. It blew my mind that even if the colors were identical, it all had different flavor profiles.
I had dinner at Sky Cafe last year. It was delicious. After dinner, I bought peanuts and anchovies rempeyek to go. They are great with beer! Looking forward to going back soon.

Tried pho for the first time at that Pho 75. Core memory. My parents met living in DC and passed on their love for great food from all over the world. So grateful to live in a time and place where we can share these delicious meals
I have to say your channel is hands down the best food channel out there, you keeping up with authenticity and meeting all these passionate chefs/restaurant owners. Your pronunciation on the foods' name doesn't go unnoticed, it's good asf, showing that you have the respect for the food and what not 🙏
I love that you're actually just out there hitting up places that aren't super famous or well known and giving them some shine. I haven't loved the aesthetic of some of your videos but what you're doing is undeniable
I'm an Indonesian who is not really into spicy Padang/Aceh food (I prefer the sweeter Javanese/Sundanese food even though I am pure Batakese and Mediterranean/Western food), but I do admit that rendang is just *IRREPLACEABLE.* ❤ I would have a huge crave for it at least once a year. So glad that you like it, too!
Thank you for trying to know more of our food culture. You will appreciate it for sure and thank God, you have the chance to experience one of His creation
I live in Philly and have frequented that strip mall many many times. Pho 75 is elite tier pho, Nam Phuong is also bangin Vietnamese cuisine but has a wider range of menu items, and that supermarket has a massive variety of fresh and packaged foods. Glad you found that gem of a southeast Asian cultural experience over there!
damn everything is served from the cafe is just exactly like what indonesian padang food be look like!! it look delicious, good job for the owner and the chef
Hi Rob, I am from Jakarta Capital city of Indonesia, thank you for promoting our food, Padang Food is one of our best Cuisines, you should try Menadonese and Sundanese and Balinese Cuisines and lots more, oh ya also try Chicken, Beef, and lamb Satay.
Hi Rob. I just discovered your channel like a few days ago thanks to TH-cam’s algorithm. To be honest, I have never found the US especially the edgy and “seemingly expensive” place like New York as a travel destination, specifically for the foods. But ever since I discovered you, I wish, I really wish I live in NYC and then I’d be able to try all those places you’ve been to. I don’t know if I’d get a chance to go to the US (I live on the other side of the world where those Padang foods came from😊) but if I do, one day, I want to try every single place you put here on this channel. And those rendangs are a legit one I could say 😂 in here we have this belief that the darker the rendang, the better the taste. Subscribing now!!
Not all US food “expensive” per se, try out some southern grits , sausage and gravy biscuit, and close it down with a slice of pecan pies and a sip of southern ice tea , they all cheap and top notch
"nasi padang" with rendang, perkedel, sambal & boiled veg always be my comfort food after coming home late from 4+ hours of DJ gig. so good! glad you enjoy it too 🫶
Amazing channel! One of my favorites to come across my reel! Local from Philly and I love seeing all the spots you hit up on this east coast corridor. Definitely gonna make some stops at your recommendations!
for the better an experience, you must come to Indonesia. even just one time 😊 . because Indonesia have a lot great and yummy food❤ . greeting from Indonesia 🇲🇨
Pls try eat all of that Padang complete cuisine in just one session, that would be a spiritual journey, fantastic experience to your mind, your soul, stomach and digestives. Because authentic padang cuisine cooked with exotic spices from the equator 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
Ii hope you can visit Indonesia and experience dine in Padang Restaurant. They will serve you more than 10 dishes on your table that you can choose. I love how this restaurant bring a little experience on the table. ❤❤❤❤ send love to Betty 😊

As an Indonesian this is very great to hear! What's the other top 2?
Not too many immigrant from Indonesia is one of the cause that Indonesian cuisine is not too well-known abroad.
I daresay Indonesian Culture not just cuisines are underpromoted compared to other SEA countries. And what i see SEA country that is mostly promoted in western medias are Philipines, Vietnam, and Malaysia, some Thais, and almost none Burmese, Lao, and Indonesia also Cambodia
not underpromoted. it just too heavy to consume without rice or bread
But be careful if you cook Padang cuisine with pork. You will be arrested
Your pronunciation of perkedel is so good 👌
Haha. I asked Betty many times before saying it
@@EatingWithRobert SAATANA VITTU PERKEDEL!
@@YoUtUbEhAnDlEsArEgReAtFinnish Indonesian fusion lez do it. Karelska grötpiroger with.. Padang bing bong whatever it was
Omg yes that got me too 🤣🤣 foreigners would usually pronounce it perrrgehhdelll or such and I was like “what did I hear this right he said PERKEDEL” haha
Actually "perkedel" comes from a typical Dutch meat ball called "frikadeller".
Hands down best little channel to pop up on my feed makes me want to travel and follow your recommendations and check these awesome little restaurants out! And love the genuine little interviews and spotlight for these places keep it up!
I really like how you spotlight the owner and how their philosophy or personality blends into the food they make. Keep up the great channel!
Indonesian food is amazing.
Nasi Goreng ,Rendang is my favorite.

Daging semur daging Bali
Nasi goreng is originally from China tradition not Indonesia and nasi goreng is famous in the Southeast Asia not only in Indonesia. Nasi goreng is a daily food in Malaysia, Brunei and others too.

It's still Indonesian.
Fried rice might be from China but Indonesia made it Nasi Goreng.

Indeed. They are from Indonesia. But they don't represent the whole of Indonesia.

Indonesian in Philadelphia is something i'd never expect.
it's not something surprising, the majority of Indonesian diaspora in the US live in Philly
@@firaaa2750is it really? i thought most of em are in SF
A notable chunk of South Philly’s population is South East Asian.
Really? I know some Indonesians are fans of the Eagles.
Philly is a criminally underrated food city.
The algorithm is feeding me your stuff today. Good job Robert. Keep it going.
Beef rendang is melt in your mouth sublime!
If you eat beef rendang and perkedel ini sage time 🎉
That shit looks FIRE!! I freaking love Indonesian food but I've only had it a couple times in the Netherlands and I'm worried the US can't compete lol but this gave me some more hope!

The food looks delicious and I love Betty too!
Oh! Padang!! 😋😋

Make it make sense please
I'm from Indonesia and thank you very much for liking my country's food hope you try some more 🎉❤
Looks like food I had in Singapore. There are so many good foods in food courts - clean, affordable, hygienic. It was certainly very delicious! 😋
indonesian cuisine is definitely one of if the most appealing looking ever.
Seeing you enjoy the food my parents grew up eating in Indo, and making for me here in America warms my heart so much. Thank you!!
Rendang , perkedel , chicken curry....are best seller
It's Begedil mi amigo
Think that's not chicken curry. Cause it's using turmeric, not curry.
@@daytradingjourney2024 ...
Curry = Turmeric + Coconut Milk
@@daytradingjourney2024 don't comment for something you didn't even know to begin with. It's south east Asian cuisine not wherever you're from mate
opor ayam? yakan?
Minangkabau food loved in indonesia and malaysia. Peace
This is one of the few YT food channels worth following. Making me want to visit random neighborhoods just for the food!
I had dinner at Sky Cafe last year. It was delicious. After dinner, I bought peanuts and anchovies rempeyek to go. They are great with beer! Looking forward to going back soon.
Ah rempeyek, The Indonesian Crackers ❤
Looks amazing.
It’s really great, and Betty and her husband are the nicest.
I still remember Padang restaurant from Indonesia, always wish to visit and some good food at a padang restaurant

You should try to go to Indonesia and try all kinds of rendang. Insane burst of flavors in the cuisines here!
A lot of people say authentic Indonesian cuisine lacks presentation wise, but tastes absolutely divine ❤
