HOW hasn't a reputable channel picked him up?! I mean, I want him to stay on TH-cam - I don't do cable - but daaaaaamn, this has better content, better production values, and A BETTER HOST than most. He and Max Miller of Tasting History, as well as a few other TH-cam channels, are KILLING IT.
Look up his net worth, I think he is making quite enough for youtube to be justified! I'm thankful its here too, don't have to jump through any hoops to access it.
Don’t know why people think it’s better to be on TV. Less freedom, less views and less money. Old media is dead, there’s nothing there for talented creatives!
10/10 to this dude for not going "Ewwwwwwwwww" at anything. He respected everything they did and joined in with everything they did without missing a beat.
Sonny, if you are reading this just letting you know my wife and I are watching this again balling eyes out. My wife’s mother recently passed and it hit so close to home. We could feel the emotions everyone was feeling. Thank you for everything you do for us to show us the world and be such a professional! We have loved watching you over the years ❤
As an indonesian, i must admit you are doing a much (million times) better job than any indonesian out there trying to promote their cultural and culinary wealth
Being a son of a Bugis Father and Javanese mom has been the best thing ever for me, enjoying the multi-cultural foods in any big events is something that I'm always waiting for.
@@bonnieculla6210You Arab! Ewww. Arabnesia. But this guy is an example that indonesia is not charming and friendly at all, infact indonesia is a whole mess country, religion and ethnic fights are in every corner of the country.. the more arabinesed they are the more intolerant they become, they blame the West, Jews, Atheist, Homosexual to almost every single bad thing that happen to them and their religion (islam). What I said here is all the truths.
This is what I love about this country. They are have different cultures, religions, customs and foods but they live in their country peacefully. They are respect each others with their differences.
Thank you for visiting Indonesia again, but there is still so much Indonesian culture stuff that you have to explore more. I even surprised myself cause as an Indonesian if I didnt know if some cultures and food exist in my country until I watch your show 😂. So please come back again Sonny, I’m waiting forward for the next show ❤
sonny and team I'm amazed at how you all bring anyone's culture to video. I found myself very emotional watching this episode, purely for the ones that have lost a person they loved. I am grateful that you and your team exist. i could only imagine what happens behind the scenes and it wouldn't even be close. much respect to you all.
As a father, I feel for the father of the deceased child. You did such a respectful job on this Sonny. Well done! More than just the best fever food review show. ❤
I'm not a mom...YET...But I couldn't help but cry as I 👀 the father so tenderly holding his deceased 3 day old daughter.I could tell he was trying to stay calm & stoic but I could still see the pain hidden in his eyes.
Really love how Sonny describes the smells,taste and texture of the foods, super informative for us on the receiving end and hits the nail on head for what I've been imagining!😁
Your documentaries are sensitive, respectful, and full of wonder. Showing the intimate integration of food and culture is a refreshing approach. I was moved by many of these vignettes. Well done.
Immersing with the locals and understanding their culture and tradition-this is more than just a food show. This is why I always come back to BEFRS. Thanks Sunny! 10/10
Sonny, I'm almost out the door for a 10 day shoot out of town and just watched this incredible episode, I'm literally in tears. This is one of your finest episodes yet, and I believe I've watched them all. Your directorial and writing skills have come full circle, your team is working at an incredible level of perfection and your thoughfulness and delicate balance between childish inquisitiveness and sincere respect has risen to a exceptional level. The content could hardly be better, I only hope you are taking time for yourself and your wife among the brutal schedule you are probably maintianing. You are on the cusp of eclipsing some of the greats of documentarians in your own, most personal fashion. I'm so profoundly admire of what you have accomplished.
So far Sonny has explored: Balinese people, some Papuan people (they have thousands of different tribes that speaks languages that may not be intelligible to each other), and then this time, Batak (Karo - there are many tribes of Batak) people, Badui people, Acehnese people, Medan people, Bugis people, Torajan people. He is not yet exposed to our "maintstream" Indonesian like Padang, Palembang Malays, East Javan, Sundanes, Dayak people, Madurese, Sumbawans, Kupang, Manadoese, Moluccans, welp, the list goes on and on. I have to apologise if you feel excluded. It is a diverse country that you don't just brag about, but get overwhelmed, confused, and then shocked to find that they suddenly speak Indonesians too. Yeah, these are just "mainstream" culture in a way that we have their foods are easily available everyday, in most of Indonesia's major cities for mobile phone app delivery order. Vladimir Putin once laughed at his agriculture minister for suggesting to export pork to Indonesia - because we by statistic are Muslim-majority nation, But if you look at the details, we have more pork eaters than the entire Scandinavian countries combined. You just don't presume about Indonesia. I lived here for more than 30 years already, stepped on all the 5 major islands, Sumatra, Kalimantan, Java, Sulawesi, Papua, but I still know nothing. It is much much much culturally and culinarily richer than many people assumed.
if i remember, sonny already came to manado and padang, so do the other couple of places. Im not sure about Moluccans but i hope oneday he can go to all of the unique cultures of ours.
I am amazed at everything and every way you are able to arrange and execute then interact with people all over in every way and how you’ve grown in your experiences and wisdom over the last decade. You’re a great guy Sonny and thank you for being a good vessel to distribute real knowledge to all.
When I lived in Turkey for a while I had a house right on the beach and was amazed to see women going into the sea and swimming while dressed like that! Now that is dedication ❤
Sonny, I can't WAIT to hear of you winning major awards and making more money than you know what to do with. You deserve all of it. You work hard and show respect to everyone and bring us around the world to enjoy food and culture. This is high-level education and entertainment. Thank you!!! (p.s. I wouldn't be mad if you went back to stepping out from behind things at the beginning of your videos. That was good subtle hilarity.)
How do you always know what to ask? It's amazing to me your instinctual questioning. The manaynay must have been so awkward as an outsider. Fascinating ritual. There is not a single person who has ever gone into tribe life as animated as you are. I have a hard time getting my kids to watch videos with me, but they'll watch yours because your line of questioning is very simplistic and easy to follow. Your narrations are perfect for a wide variety of watchers. I mean this documentary showcases your considerable respect and the unique perspective you are able to give your viewers and those you interact with. Would I have watched a documentary on a variety of tribes? Possibly. Maybe for a bit. Because it's always fascinating to see how others live. But would kids? No. But they'll watch you. There's something to be said there.
Sonny is ALWAYS culturally sensitive to the people/tribes/villages they film in and around. He never turns his nose up to food most people would and he gives EVERYTHING a try and then explain to the best of his ability. He is funny while being respectful. I am a huge fan of The Best Ever Food Review. Love their videos. Fm New Zealand.😊
This channel has been a long time favorite of mine and I have been watching for many years. This episode is one of if not my favorite you’ve ever filmed! The grace, dignity, respect, and compassion you show for the cultures and the people you are learning about is unbelievable. This channel has become so much more than the best ever food review, it has become a truly phenomenal learning experience. Thank you to you and your exceptional crew! Well done and good form! ❤️❤️❤️
Sonny, You and your TEAM are so amazing...You are an amazing food blogger, host, and visitor to different places you are visiting. You showed respect for their culture, tradition, and beliefs. Hats off to you Man! I am enjoying watching you from Greece. Cheers!
Oh, how I wished you to cover more contents from Indonesia. As a 'foreigner' who now lived in Indonesia, I can give you general tips on where the golds are. You could make a full season of contents here.
you know what? as an Indonesian, I'm sobbing right know to witness some of the most richest culture which you capture. Even as an Indonesian myself, I believe I'm not having an epic opportunity as you are to explore some of the uniqueness of these culture. Thank you to wide-spreading this, and I hope this will be the best experiences of your life@ thanks for the video!
Terima kasih bro Sonny, for introducing very extreme culinary that my own country 🇮🇩 doesn't know because the variety of food served in each region is very different apart from the known culinary 👍
I think this is one of the most beautiful and insightful videos I’ve ever watched on TH-cam that interestingly bring the story from my country. Thank you for telling the diversity in Indonesia in a very compelling way!❤
I really love this guy ,hes very informative and very respectful to everyone and their culture,this has so far been one of the weirdest but interesting episode,I keep learning something everytime, Continue doing what you do,we appricate it 🥰🥰🥰
Here in the Philippines, the Ilocanos have that cuisine called “Pinapaitan” using that grass juice from the cow. Even the use of the blood from the pig...similar practices. There is even this called ‘dinuguan.’ Nice to know as such similarities.
I've seen so much of this in the videos you released that were smaller. Nice to see it all edited together. And props for always being so willing to try other people's cultural foods and everything and being very respectful about it.
Indonesia has a lot of uniqueness, maybe many people don't know that in Bali there is also a unique cemetery in the village of Trunyan, Bali. you have to go there.. thank you for coming to Indonesia🥰
This episode made me realize... he really is doing a great service to Anthony Bourdain's legacy even if he doesn't know it. Sonny reminds me of him so much in his willingness to go to other cultures and really show them in a way most people can't.
I was touched by the manene. I wish we could do that. I felt so happy for the father being able to see and be close to his baby daughter again. Thank you for sharing these experiences along with the amazing food
I love Calvin as a co-host. I’ve watched and rewatched every episode that he’s in with Sonny. And, I’ll keep watching them over and over again. Of course I’ve watched all of Sonny’s videos more than a few times, cause he Rocks....but the ones with Calvin are still my favorites. Ahhhh peace! ✌🏻💗
You were so ambitious when you named your show, but it really lives up to its name. You really did make the best food review show! Love it so much! I’ve learnt so much from you. If you want to learn about any food culture in the world we could watch your show.
I am a half indonesian (mums from there) and I grew up with that food. ❤❤ Going back there after 9 Years (last visit 2015) this Video makes me soooo looking forward!! Makanan Indonesia adalah yang terbaik di dunia! 😋😋🥰
Love your show. Most importantly is how you’re very respectful of other cultures and being open to try all types of food. Willy was awesome! Good stuff brotha.
Hi i'm from Australia. I started going to Indonesia with my parents in the 80's. They were not very strict or protective of me (tbh they only cared for my brothers, i was worthless to them) I would make friends with the locals and would go out with them often alone. I remember often going to funerals watching the cane caskets burning , dancing, singing and celebration and being sent out to sea on fire.. My parents sheltered my brothers. I saw the real world as you are experiencing. Who is richer for this experience. Us i say Sonny.
A very detailed and marvelous video, love how the cultural practices were captured so beautifully! 🥰 *Also, wanna know if the Bisu's healing worked or not!*
The Ma'nene feast (I hope I said it correctly) in Indonesia may somehow similar to Dia Le Los Muertos in Mexico and All Soul's Day in the Philippines. Honoring the late loved ones and cherish their times of their precious lives here on Earth. Gone, but never be forgotten🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏 Sir Sonny, mad salute and respect🙇🙇🙇🙇🙇
@@FussyPickles WTF??? There is no such thing as husband have to give permission to wife to watch or do anything! But there is in Christianity though, just read the bible, women cant even speak in churches. Indonesia even have MUSLIM FEMALE PRESIDENT, even US didn't have that.
I love his channel even more, it's educating throught Foods.. traditional foods even i as an Indonesian never know it because so many tribes, foods from around Indonesia 👍👍
Suka banget sama jawaban mbak andre dalam menjelaskan apapun tentang makanan maupun aturan islam. Simple tapi to the point banget. Terkhusus di "aturan islam ada standarnya tapi setiap orang berbeda bedan dalam menerapkannya" Suka banget line itu. Sayang sih banyak emg sekarang ud yg ga ikutin standar. Semoga kita bisa jadi lebih baik
dalam islam memang tak seharusnya ada paksaan, setiap orang memiliki pilihan mereka masing masing, boleh menyampaikan standar dalam islam tapi jangan memaksa orang lain menerima sepenuhnya standar itu, setiap orang bebas memiliki standa mereka masing masing
@@_martian101wajib bahasa lainnga juga keharusan. Kyk atyran jilbab. Jelas harus make. Kalau ga make ya salah donk yg ga make. Jangan salahin aturannya. Berarti imannya ga kuat. Jangankan islam aja. Di kristen aja padahal mereka harus make jilbab tapi mereka ga pake. Itulah membedakannya kita sama mereka. Iman siapa yg paling kuat
@@jordanpamungkasnasution8209 ya anggapan tentang status iman seseorang juga berbeda, asalkan tidak mengajak atau memaksakan saya rasa setiap orang berhak menetapkan bagaimana mereka menjalankan agama mereka
I have waited till I have put the kids to bed, ironed the uniform for school, tomorrow and have cleaned the house just to watch this with no interruptions, with popcorn and a cup of tea. Thanks Sonny and your team. I love being a mom but bwoy sah.
Thanks for sharing this with us. This has been so enlightening for me, it's taught me to appreciate how different cultures really are. And different is a good thing. I don't know if I would be able to eat some of the foods you ate especially liver ,lungs etc. But I have a whole new appreciation for the food of different people and cultures. I truly have learned a lot from this. thank you
I started watching like 3 years ago I don't really remember, but this is not a food review show but a documentary about culture. I like how you don't judge and can easily relate with the people around you Best ever food review show you deserve an award❤
Sonny - that was the best ever series you have ever done!! Historical, factual, foodie all delivered with your inimitable curious respectful and entertaining style...it was such an interesting and educational look into the cultures of a diverse country without being patronising or dismissive. For those of us who will never be as lucky as you to visit amazing places like this...thank you from the bottom of my heart...you rock 🤘x
Wow!!! Thank you Sonny and your team for the look into that Indonesian peoples' death rituals. It's so different and so unique. It's a unique way of extending love even after death. This is the first time I've seen any people anywhere doing this. The pigs and buffalos and all the foods are great to watch. But the death rituals and the implied love for family members who have passed are so unique and interesting to see. Thank you all so much at Best Ever Food Review Show for this type of lesson about this people. I enjoyed watching this show and learning from it.
One of the best episodes by far. Sonny’s personality and narration is the perfect blend of eternal curiosity, respect for culture/cuisine, mixed with comic relief (timing is always spot on). Thank you for sharing. I haven’t enjoyed a food review show to this degree since Anthony Bourdain. ❤
This video was full of adventurous spirit, respectful curiosity and emotional cultural education. I was tearing up at the end, thankful for the people and this channel for sharing so much.
I will forever miss Anthony bourdain, and watching your show brings back many memories from the years of loving his. So thank you for that Sonny! Your great at this, 10/10 entertainment
I think this is the first time I teared 😢 up ever watching your show. Bittersweet to have to re visit passed loved ones. Keep up the awesome work bringing world experiences to those who will never be able to do what you do ❤
I really like Sonny. Cause it's not just any food show, it's the Best Ever Food Review Show. I respect this mam for how he show the respect for each and every tradition not just the food and he's just amazing.
Sony, when you come to Indonesia again and surely you will because you just visited 1 percent of Indonesia region, come to Pacitan East Java, try the traditional dish, smoked shark with very spicy coconut milk. Or we call it KALAKAN.
Sonny you have so much respect for people's cultures and never turn your nose up at anything and always respect their beliefs and what they eat your amazing keep up the good work
@Best Ever Food Review Show is like nasi goreng spesial!!! lovely mix of yummy ingredients (the food content) special with egg omelette (history and culture). I'm Indonesian but I learn a lot about our culture and history as a country here more than my 12 year education in school! Thank you Sonny and Team! 🔥😋🍲
I love how respectful he is of every culture. He ask question never say if he agrees or not with it he just want to learn… I love sunny he seems super sweet

Indonesia has a lot of uniqueness, maybe many people don't know that in Bali there is also a unique cemetery in the village of Trunyan, Bali. you have to go there.. thank you for coming to Indonesia🥰
The most diverse country ever!!🇮🇩💞🇮🇩
This man is so respectful I like how you don't judge or disrespect there culture
one of the most beautiful episode of BEFRS. You guys made the funerals traditions look meaningful.
This episode made me realize... he really is doing a great service to Anthony Bourdain's legacy even if he doesn't know it. Sonny reminds me of him so much in his willingness to go to other cultures and really show them in a way most people can't.
I was touched by the manene. I wish we could do that. I felt so happy for the father being able to see and be close to his baby daughter again. Thank you for sharing these experiences along with the amazing food
Indonesia 🇮🇩 brother... i love your culture...
I love Calvin as a co-host. I’ve watched and rewatched every episode that he’s in with Sonny. And, I’ll keep watching them over and over again. Of course I’ve watched all of Sonny’s videos more than a few times, cause he Rocks....but the ones with Calvin are still my favorites. Ahhhh peace! ✌🏻💗
Definitely one of the best series produced by this channel.
I'm Indonesian, but after watching this, it makes me question myself of how much I've known my own cultures and tradition.
This is a new story for me as an Indonesian that has lived at Makassar - Maros for 4 months, thank you.
You were so ambitious when you named your show, but it really lives up to its name. You really did make the best food review show! Love it so much! I’ve learnt so much from you. If you want to learn about any food culture in the world we could watch your show.
Thank you for digging deep into our culinaries.
It’s really nice of you to show the variety of Indonesian’s food, and remain respectful throughout the journey. Thank you
Wow.... you are an ambassador of Indonesian culture!
I am a half indonesian (mums from there) and I grew up with that food. ❤❤
Going back there after 9 Years (last visit 2015) this Video makes me soooo looking forward!!
Makanan Indonesia adalah yang terbaik di dunia! 😋😋🥰
Love your show. Most importantly is how you’re very respectful of other cultures and being open to try all types of food. Willy was awesome! Good stuff brotha.
Hi i'm from Australia. I started going to Indonesia with my parents in the 80's. They were not very strict or protective of me
(tbh they only cared for my brothers, i was worthless to them) I would make friends with the locals and would go out with them often alone. I remember often going to funerals watching the cane caskets burning , dancing, singing and celebration and being sent out to sea on fire.. My parents sheltered my brothers. I saw the real world as you are experiencing. Who is richer for this experience. Us i say Sonny.
I love this show so much, ive already watched all the episodes of this series and now i'm watching the full documentary!!!!! Ty...Happy Sunday!!!
Thank You Mate! Appreciate what you done to my country. Legend!
Wow, I've never seen anyone do a Thanks comment
@@zephy_r thank you. 😊
So diversity in one country love Indonesia 🥰
Holy wow i adore sonny and all he does to teach people about other cultures. He truly is an incredible person ❤ very appreciated
A very detailed and marvelous video, love how the cultural practices were captured so beautifully! 🥰
*Also, wanna know if the Bisu's healing worked or not!*
The Ma'nene feast (I hope I said it correctly) in Indonesia may somehow similar to Dia Le Los Muertos in Mexico and All Soul's Day in the Philippines. Honoring the late loved ones and cherish their times of their precious lives here on Earth. Gone, but never be forgotten🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
Sir Sonny, mad salute and respect🙇🙇🙇🙇🙇
This should be on Discovery Channel or National Geographic. Execellent quality and content. Very informative and fun to watch.
Sonny you da Man!!. Brotha!! love how you explore food, cultures ask questions about proper culture etiquette. Someone Get This Man An Emmy!!!
The was an a amazing series and after watching all the individual episodes, it is always enjoyable to watch them all stitched together.
God I really wish I could watch it, but my Muslim husband won't give me the permission. Don't you just love my culture?
@lord blight oh don't worry, he gave me the permission to post this
@@FussyPickles WTF??? There is no such thing as husband have to give permission to wife to watch or do anything! But there is in Christianity though, just read the bible, women cant even speak in churches. Indonesia even have MUSLIM FEMALE PRESIDENT, even US didn't have that.
@@FussyPickles 🗿
I love his channel even more, it's educating throught Foods.. traditional foods even i as an Indonesian never know it because so many tribes, foods from around Indonesia 👍👍
A complete recipe of indonesian people,culture &food👍 🇵🇭🇵🇭🇵🇭
I'm part of this culture so I had to ask my husband to watch the video and see Sonny but he wouldn't let me. My culture is awesome.
Suka banget sama jawaban mbak andre dalam menjelaskan apapun tentang makanan maupun aturan islam.
Simple tapi to the point banget.
Terkhusus di "aturan islam ada standarnya tapi setiap orang berbeda bedan dalam menerapkannya"
Suka banget line itu. Sayang sih banyak emg sekarang ud yg ga ikutin standar. Semoga kita bisa jadi lebih baik
dalam islam memang tak seharusnya ada paksaan, setiap orang memiliki pilihan mereka masing masing, boleh menyampaikan standar dalam islam tapi jangan memaksa orang lain menerima sepenuhnya standar itu, setiap orang bebas memiliki standa mereka masing masing
@@_martian101wajib bahasa lainnga juga keharusan. Kyk atyran jilbab. Jelas harus make. Kalau ga make ya salah donk yg ga make. Jangan salahin aturannya. Berarti imannya ga kuat. Jangankan islam aja. Di kristen aja padahal mereka harus make jilbab tapi mereka ga pake. Itulah membedakannya kita sama mereka. Iman siapa yg paling kuat
@@jordanpamungkasnasution8209 ya anggapan tentang status iman seseorang juga berbeda, asalkan tidak mengajak atau memaksakan saya rasa setiap orang berhak menetapkan bagaimana mereka menjalankan agama mereka
I have waited till I have put the kids to bed, ironed the uniform for school, tomorrow and have cleaned the house just to watch this with no interruptions, with popcorn and a cup of tea. Thanks Sonny and your team. I love being a mom but bwoy sah.
Thanks for sharing this with us. This has been so enlightening for me, it's taught me to appreciate how different cultures really are. And different is a good thing. I don't know if I would be able to eat some of the foods you ate especially liver ,lungs etc. But I have a whole new appreciation for the food of different people and cultures. I truly have learned a lot from this. thank you
I started watching like 3 years ago I don't really remember, but this is not a food review show but a documentary about culture.
I like how you don't judge and can easily relate with the people around you
Best ever food review show you deserve an award❤
The fact that you do smaller pieces to do a full production documentary is amazing.
Sonny - that was the best ever series you have ever done!! Historical, factual, foodie all delivered with your inimitable curious respectful and entertaining style...it was such an interesting and educational look into the cultures of a diverse country without being patronising or dismissive. For those of us who will never be as lucky as you to visit amazing places like this...thank you from the bottom of my heart...you rock 🤘x
Wow!!! Thank you Sonny and your team for the look into that Indonesian peoples' death rituals. It's so different and so unique. It's a unique way of extending love even after death. This is the first time I've seen any people anywhere doing this. The pigs and buffalos and all the foods are great to watch. But the death rituals and the implied love for family members who have passed are so unique and interesting to see. Thank you all so much at Best Ever Food Review Show for this type of lesson about this people. I enjoyed watching this show and learning from it.
Omg Indonesia never fails to amaze me!
You experiencing more Indonesian cuisine and culture than most of Indonesian citizen themselves. Yes me too included.
My friend from indo doesn't even know they exist until I sent him this video. All he knows is tiktok shit and fortnite
One of the best episodes by far. Sonny’s personality and narration is the perfect blend of eternal curiosity, respect for culture/cuisine, mixed with comic relief (timing is always spot on). Thank you for sharing. I haven’t enjoyed a food review show to this degree since Anthony Bourdain. ❤
To everyone, pls keep pushing in life and never give Up. Can't wait to see you successful one day and May God Bless You! 🥰🥰🥰🥰
I really commend all the food correspondents here. They are so engaging and honest. Congratulations!
Wow that must of been an amazing experience! Thank you Sonny and your fantastic team for sharing this!
I love the way he covered the different genders from another side of the world. Super cool coverage of the culture and food side by side.
All respect Sonny. You truly are amazing for being so open and your ability to embrace unique traditions.
This video was full of adventurous spirit, respectful curiosity and emotional cultural education. I was tearing up at the end, thankful for the people and this channel for sharing so much.
I will forever miss Anthony bourdain, and watching your show brings back many memories from the years of loving his. So thank you for that Sonny! Your great at this, 10/10 entertainment
I think this is the first time I teared 😢 up ever watching your show. Bittersweet to have to re visit passed loved ones. Keep up the awesome work bringing world experiences to those who will never be able to do what you do ❤
I totally want to watch this full episode right now but am opting to wait until tonight to watch it with my bf. We LOVE your show. 😘😘
Bro even myself as an Indonesian that have lived for almost 20 years, still shocked when watching his video. What a masterpiece, soo 🥶
I really like Sonny. Cause it's not just any food show, it's the Best Ever Food Review Show. I respect this mam for how he show the respect for each and every tradition not just the food and he's just amazing.
Sony, when you come to Indonesia again and surely you will because you just visited 1 percent of Indonesia region, come to Pacitan East Java, try the traditional dish, smoked shark with very spicy coconut milk. Or we call it KALAKAN.
Willie: I bet Sonny will be scared to eat Dragonfly's larvae.
Sonny: Have you eaten it raw?
Willie: F*ck, this guy is more crazy than us @23:53
Sonny you have so much respect for people's cultures and never turn your nose up at anything and always respect their beliefs and what they eat your amazing keep up the good work
@Best Ever Food Review Show is like nasi goreng spesial!!! lovely mix of yummy ingredients (the food content) special with egg omelette (history and culture). I'm Indonesian but I learn a lot about our culture and history as a country here more than my 12 year education in school! Thank you Sonny and Team! 🔥😋🍲
Do you add the seasoning before or after boiling the noodles? Man I miss the Nasi goreng restaurant in Bali
@@Gammatron-vf1zm after! I love nasi goreng too and I live in Bali. But street food-wise nasi goreng Jakarta is the best nasi goreng of all!
I love how respectful he is of every culture. He ask question never say if he agrees or not with it he just want to learn… I love sunny he seems super sweet
That welcoming ceremony was next level I still remember it lol
26:04 The cook is really funny without trying. 😂😂😂
