my Jakarta travel guide for food lovers: Rice is the main staple in most of Indonesia, but there are many different versions and preparations of rice. One of the versions I love the most is called nasi uduk, rice, thats cooked with a variety of fragrant herbs and spices, and the main ingredient: coconut milk. This gives the rice a more rich taste and texture. Youll find nasi uduk all over Jakarta, but I went to a restaurant called Nasi Uduk Ayam Goreng Zainal Fanani. Restoran Zainal Fanani - Nasi Uduk, Ayam Goreng This was one of my first meals in Jakarta, and I wasnt sure exactly how to order as soon as I arrived to the restaurant, but luckily I soon figured it out. At the front of the restaurant they had a cabinet full of fried chicken parts and other assorted deep fried things. First, you go up to the front and choose the different pieces of chicken and things you want to eat. Once you pick out your choice, they will all be deep fried fresh and served to you on your table hot and fresh. At Zainal Fanani restaurant, the nasi uduk was all sitting on the table already, in communal trays, and the rice was packed into little banana leaf portions, and topped with crispy fried shallots. You could grab as many as packets of the coconut rice as you liked during your meal. I started off by just tasting the rice - the rice was wonderful, and not only could I just taste the coconut milk, but I could also taste some fragrant spices like cardamom and bay leaves. The rice was fantastic. Along with the nasi uduk, I also got a couple different deep fried items including ayam goreng, which is deep fried chicken, and a piece of fried tofu and tempe. All the fried items were salty and a little oily, and very tasty. Finally, to complete my nasi uduk and ayam goreng meal there were a number of different sambal chili sauces on the table, which were all very flavorful and went with the fried chicken and rice very well

Great Job Mark for promoting Indonesian Food It's really a lot of nice food here in Indonesia, but lack of effort from the industry in terms of promoting it to the world e. g. for most Indonesian, Nasi Uduk is as good as Malaysian Nasi Lemak if not better, but I have to admit that Nasi Lemak is more famous. And the fact that more Indonesian food are also very hot and spicy, not very much to the liking of other nations' tastebuds, this is also a major deterrent sometimes. But your video really an honest testimonial that anybody who savour the good food, should try Indonesian Food. Awesome Mark

If what you really mean by 'free range muscular' you mean tough. that just means it was freshly butchered a few hours earlier. Soft meat happens by allowing it to rest in a cold place for 2-3 days until the rigor leaves the muscle. After 2-3 days you can tell the meat has softened because the joints bend easily and the limb will easily flop around. Before that they are stiff and dont bend without pressure.

Hy mark, if u wanna try, Nasi uduk again, come to makassar. at my city, nasi uduk, are more cheap, delecious n normal portion, if u wanna try, lets come to warung cobek cobek at makassar city indonesia, thats another menu who can make u interest. U may can try coto makassar, thats like soto in java, but in makssar it called coto, but they have different flavor n taste

There is no cardamom in Nasi Uduk. Some put some a bit of cinnamon. The chillie sauce should not be sour, it must been stale. You should have asked the local people how to eat Nasi Uduk. Your combination is wrong. Where is the emping? Basically, you did not mix correctly.

Another reccomendation, try eat Fried Jumbo Quail Puyuh Jumbo Goreng, available at Bebek Kaleyo Restaurant in any branch. they serve with many choice of sambals and kremesan / crispy topping. insanely delicious and rare to find quail btw

Shore lunch in Sarawak = fish we caught skewered on sticks + rice inside bamboo, all cooked over an open fire. My wife's family took me on a fishing trip many years ago, and it's one of the best memories of my time in Sarawak.

Dengan melihat cara makan mark, saya tahu kalau dia tak pernah memilih milih makanan. semuanya dia suka, & dia makan. Rasa syukur pun secara tidak langsung terlihat di wajahnya, rasa nikmat juga tercipta di wajahnya

Hi Mark, that was an awesome video. What surprised me is you ate so much 'sambals' out there LoL, because there aren't many foreigners can afford eating Indonesian sambals that much. Salam kenal.
