    🥒 ABOUT BEFRS:
    Hey, I’m Sonny! I’m from the US but I’ve been living in Asia for 10 years and started making food and travel videos to document my experiences. I travel to different parts of the world, hunting down and documenting the most unique food each country has to offer.
    If you see any factual food errors in my videos, please feel free to politely let me know in the comments. I'm a huge fan of trying different, interesting foods in each country. My show is from a Western point of view, but more importantly, MY point of view. It is not meant to offend any person or culture.

    Indonesian here, i myself is not a karonese but im from a very related tribe to karo. I always hear about karo using blood and strange stuff to their food but my tribe is a muslim tribe and adjusted these foods to make it halal and often these adjustments just makes the food unique for itself. Really great video btw im an javanese alasnese just north from north sumatra in south east aceh you can try our food if you are interested!

      I was just in Kutacane - Blankejeren a week ago. First time trying Manuk Labakh, Jurong Bakar, and Pacik Gule. The first two are decent but nothing special, the Pacik Gule tho...Wow!! I've tried so many different types of fish gule in my life, the best one is between Kutacane n Blankejeren. Even better than the best Arsik in Toba, just slightly.

      @Cracxy yep, one of my favorite food is called tasak telu in karo it is chicken mixed with chicken blood and spices while here we interpret the name tasak telu meaning cook three and still use the chicken but also replace the blood with 3 special ingredients they are onion, green chili, and lemongrass. Both have the same name but almost completely different

      @Cracxy if you are in Indonesia, and in Muslim majority area, than most food are halal. Unless they specifically mention Babi/b2 (pig), snake, etc. Some restaurants put the animal pictures on their stall. Also, franchises have halal certificate logo.
      If you're in majority non Muslim area, it's the other way around. Muslim food/restaurant usually have halal logo, or there's Arabic writing like "assalamualaikum" in front of their house/warungs (the latter usually found in villages). But don't worry, just ask people.
      Even if you're in remote places and non Muslim area, if you ask nicely people usually direct you to halal restaurants or just give you veggies...

It has a lot more citrus flavor, so you can taste a hint of sourness, mint and menthol from the pepper.
