That is so crazy that you mention this! One of our friends also made us aware of the restaurant basically at the same time you mentioned! Thanks for the recommendation!
I remember the Indo restaurants on Anzac Parade. I was a student at UNSW in the early 1980s and towards the end of the 1990s, I worked at the Pizza Hut delivery unit that was further along the road in Kingsford. We had a lot of Indo uni students as our drivers and kitchenhands and the manager and I would send the guys out to buy us dinner from one of these places. Sometimes we'd order particular items, and other times we'd tell them to get something they thought we might like. "You want spicy, boss?" Sure, just not paling pedas (really spicy, like they like it!)- maybe chilli on the side!
1:30 Those aren’t prawn chips but melinjo (Gnetum gnemon) seeds, pounded and deep-fried. Didn’t they taste bitter rather than fishy? We Indonesians love these crackers for the extra flavor and crunch they add. I’m impressed by the variety you found in Sydney-West Sumatran (nasi Padang), North Sumatran (pork belly fried rice), and South Sumatran (pempek). But I’m especially excited about the se’i at 7:47 from East Nusa Tenggara, just about 185 kilometers from Australia’s northern coast, though traditionally it’s made with venison or wild boar meat. Cheers from southern Borneo (where you won’t find our food in Australia)! 🇮🇩 🍻 🇦🇺
Thanks so much for the great info! 🙏 We didn't realise those were melinjo chips - and you’re right, they had more of a bitter flavour than fishy! 😊 It’s amazing how much variety Indonesian cuisine has, even in Sydney. We loved learning about each dish’s origins as we explored. The se’i was especially unique, and we’ll definitely keep an eye out for the traditional venison or wild boar version! Cheers to you in southern Borneo, and thank you for sharing your knowledge with us!
You need to do more research, you two seem to blindly decide to chase a certain cuisine but you do “ZERO” research, ask the people that run the businesses how to pronounce dishes and more importantly what’s in it. You talked of prawn chips and they are NOT prawn chips, they are a nut that gets mashed and fried. Also, DONT put her in front of the camera, she has no presence, the bloke has a “presenter” appeal, she needs to stay BEHIND the camera.
Oh no! We went in at lunch time and it wasn’t busy and didn’t have food that we hadn’t already tried elsewhere, so we decided to give it a miss. Sounds like we made the wrong call. 😢 A good excuse to go back! - Jon
Most Indo food you “add@ the spice anyway, being married to an Indonesian we find the food is the same as Indo. They don’t change the cuisine like the Chinese do
Not really, the Chinese yes but Indo no. The spice is as spicy as you want it or less as you please. Your going to the wrong I do restaurants, probably the Chindo restaurants.
🤣🤣. It is very much a case of feast or famine! We certainly eat a lot during filming days and still take a lot of food home with us to live off for the best part of the week. - Jon
I bet there are many Indo’s who have watched this and cringe listening to you two attempt to pronounce each dish, it’s embarrassing to watch. It’s not hard to ask the owners how to correctly pronounce a dish….a little research goes a long way.
You should try Medan Ciak Restaurant for Medan style foods in NSW.

Most of the indo food outside indonesia are not spicy as the original, it follow the local taste where the resto placed.
