my Nasi Goreng blog post here Mangga Besar is a small area of Jakarta thats known for its street life and for its bounty of all kinds of street food. My wife and I were staying in the Mangga Besar area, and we headed out onto the street one evening to eat a plate of nasi goreng. When I was a kid I used to love fried rice. Now, I dont eat fried rice all that often, but occasionally it does really sound good. Youll find street food carts selling nasi goreng all over Indonesia and there are many different variations of fried rice that you can order. When I saw the petai (stink beans) hanging from the cart, I knew I immediately needed to order nasi goreng petai, or Indonesian style fried rice with stink beans. He first added in some oil and a little dab of margarine to the wok, before tossing in a few ingredients. Then in went the rice, and he fried it up expertly along with a few seasoning, including the signature to nasi goreng, kecap manis (sweet soy sauce) to give it the Indonesian fried rice touch. It was a nicely satisfying plate of nasi goreng, and it wouldnt have been the same without the addition of the stink beans. Mangga Besar is also one of the most well known areas of Jakarta for durian, and as soon as it becomes evening, an abundance of stalls that sell durian, especially from Medan and Palembang, will set up. Right next to the nasi goreng stall that I ate at, there was a durian stall, and so the natural thing to do was go next door for a durian dessert. We ended up choosing a medium sized Palemnbang durian. When it comes to dessert, nothing can compare a good durian Mangga Besar - Jakarta, Indonesia Nasi goreng petai - 20, 000 IDR (1. 50) Durian - 65, 000 IDR (4. 88)

Yo I love everything petai including petai fried rice too. Amazing taste combination. Mark is definitely saying all the right thing as if he's taking the words out of my mouth. For those who don't know petai and durian, these two are the most powerful food or fruit where everyone will either totally love them, or totally hate them. There's no in between.

MUST have been Mark's stink day First stink beans, then durian BTW, Durian's cousin is called Tinkin' Toe -- but correctly The Locust Fruit. Lord it stinks mercy mio. A thick, rich, full and huge fruit -- plus very sweet to the taste. but stink hahahaha. When one eats it others would think a fart came out of that one's mouth. Same for Jackfruit

You hear horror stories from people who dont like Durian about how bad it tastes and how bad it smells. I traveled to Southeast Asia and found out that it wasnt true and very exaggerated. I would say it just has its own unique taste and smell. I thought it was very good. They even had durian ice cream that was very good too.

I was always wondering like, why all the delicious cuisine have to be in another place? But i was wrong, i just didn't realize how delicious my homeland; s cuisines enough because i know them so much. Let's say i live in The US, maybe i'll never know the authentic taste of rendang here in Indonesia and i love it so much.

Stink Bean in Indonesia we call it Pete (petai, it's my favourite, especially if u boil them first and eat with sambal terasi n warm rice. OMG taste like heaven. and i tell you my grandmother's secret recipe to you, after eat Petai, u should swallow a teaspoon to reduce the smell, and ur breath won't smell bad

Hey Mark, very nice and inspiring video, as always. I'm just going to Jakarta on Saturday. Which places would you consider to be the 'must visit' places for good street food in Jakarta? Also, which part of Indonesia do you find most interesting, (except Bali? Thanks, Bartek
reply

Hi Mark, when will you go to Medan (north Sumatra) to try various and tastiest food there? Like Trevor James from the food ranger in September 2017. You probably can't stop eating the food and sambal, specially with terasi (shrimp paste. Look forward for your videos there

Do you know easy way to get rid durian smell on your hand? 9: 00 is the answer, that part is not very fragrant and it can cancel durian smell, just apply it on your hand and wash with clean water and try smell your hand, no durian smell on your hands
