Hi Alderic, Indonesian viewer here. I don't know if this in time or not for you to view. Nasi Uduk basically have 3 types. First is the Sumatera/Melayu type. This is called nasi gemuk. This is closest to what malay/sg nasi lemak. Second is the Betawi type. The nasi uduk that you will prbably looking for. Third is the Javanese type, called nasi gurih/nasi liwet. All have nuance and variance but Nasi Uduk will be accompanied by Sambal Kacang and fried shallot on top of it. Even nasi uduk will have two types: dry one and the soupy one. The soupy one they called it Gorengan Betawi. Basically all the jerohan (tripes, intestines, etc) in a red thick broth. To be a fair comparison, please try the nasi uduk with the dry type.
I don't consider VP nasi lemak the best in flavour BUT I keep coming back because of how easy it is to line up, sit down, eat a plate and just go. The sheer efficiency to taste and value ratio is unbeatable. It's not the nasi lemak I'd go to treat myself, but the one I'd have once a week.
I agree, it's not the most delicious plate of nasi lemak that you can have. It has its limits in terms of balance of flavour with the sambal and condiments, and the rice can be a bit lacking in lemak. But they are successful because they're the most consistent nasi lemak place that we have. You can probably find a nicer nasi lemak in some random unknown stall somewhere but they won't be there everyday and the taste would probably change from time to time. While Village Park nasi lemak has been around for years, the taste of the sambal has only recently become consistent.
The analysis on this series is phenomenal! As usual, i am enjoying the indepth and well thought out writing (?) and reviews than I am actually trying out the Nasi lemak. I do love me a good Nasi lemak tho! One of the best food reviewers on the internet I know!
I just love this establishment where they dont mess around with their food and take great care in service and hospitality. Village park sets the benchmark of what local eateries in mayalsia should be like. Another establishment is Kanbe Ramen @TRX or @Mont Kiara, where it operates the same scale like VP but dish out 9/10 food every single time. Massive respect to their crew
There used to be an old lady whom I used to frequent for breakfast, and she used to make her sambal tumis similar to the village park. The difference is that she extended her cooking time, the colour was slightly darker than other shops, and the viscosity was thick. But the taste, masha'allah, the flavours, the fragrantness, and the heat. Not so spicy that I couldn't enjoy eating my dish. It was just right for what I consider a good sambal.
I once saw a comment saying village park forgot to include chilli for their grab order and lodged a complaint. They were able to trace back the order with video evidence of the exact order and they did gave chilli. Something must have happened in between the delivery journey. Their operations is very impressive.
Village park, the fried chicken is the best when it's fresh piping hot. The rendang beef is really quite weak. You can see the owner also there in the early morning at opening prolly to QC the place when starting up.
Alderic , based on the video I assume it is shot during Ramadan month . The actual numbers of people will be way more than shown in video (including Muslims) . The operation is much hectic yet organised just fyi . Good review though !
Ohh, didn't realise the inside part of Batik's winglets are blue xD Good enough for a short flight. If you're still in Indonesia go try out some ice cream from Indomaret. It's their version of 7-11 or Cheers. They have chiki ball flavour (new) and indomie flavour (from last year). Not exactly nasi uduk, but a fun side thing since you're there anyway :)
Wow nasi uduk has entered the picture. This is serious business now man. And no the recipe for nasi uduk is not the same! Hope you can review Coconut Club in Singapore too!
@@Alderic. The two are overall fairly similar. Usually nasi lemak only uses coconut milk, pandan and maybe lemongrass, whereas nasi uduk also uses garlic, shallot, bay leaf and various spices (galangal, cardamom, cloves etc) depending on the restaurant. Now some places put more herbs/spices into their nasi lemak, for eg I just tried JB's Coconut Valley (thanks for the rec) and I find it's closer to nasi uduk than nasi lemak. I think you'd agree their rice tastes different than most nasi lemak you find in sg. I don't mean better or worse, I mean it's a different taste. The rest of the plate (sambal, sides etc) is usual nasi lemak though. Some things you find in a nasi uduk plate that you don't find in a nasi lemak plate are fried shallots and sliced fried egg. They're integral to the taste of nasi uduk. Nasi uduk usually doesn't have ikan bilis and peanuts. I grew up eating nasi uduk so I'm excited to see what you think!
Hours are no longer needed to caramelize onions, see America's Test Kitchen's video "How to Caramelize Onions in Record Time Without Sacrificing One Ounce of Flavor"
@@Alderic. I forgot to mention there's another video. Its also from America's Test Kitchen, "For Better Browned Meat and Veggies, Just Add Water", where they explain why the technique works.

Goated comment by Goateed commentor
thank you so much for a gem of a comment!
This man’s commitment to bring us the best nasi lemak is unmatched
This is probably the most anticipated episode in the Malaysian arc..
And it didn’t disappoint!!!
Three that the locals frequent; Botak Nasi Lemak, AFC Ali Nasi Lemak, Bumbung Nasi Lemak. All quite close to each other.

Hopefully next season can cover Nasi lemak bumbung and nasi lemak tanglin

We got it at Village Grocer @ Southkey

Great video as usual bro. You should come try the lamb nasi lemak at kafe kampung kaw port dickson. It's the best imo
Keep up the good work man you’ll be big soon!
Village park, the fried chicken is the best when it's fresh piping hot. The rendang beef is really quite weak.
You can see the owner also there in the early morning at opening prolly to QC the place when starting up.

Wow nasi uduk has entered the picture. This is serious business now man. And no the recipe for nasi uduk is not the same!
Hope you can review Coconut Club in Singapore too!
Genuine question, what's the difference? I've referred to quite a few recipes online and they seem very similar.

you need to get sponsorship. Won't be able to just rely on the view counts.

oh thanks for the recommendation! I'll try to see how I can use it for my sambal.

GOAT
Mmm
Have you tried coconut club. Though I heard it’s overrated
all roads lead to village park is that a reference to faker
Best nasi lemak in Malaysia… owner is Singaporean 🤣🤣
So basically Singaporeans make the best nasi lemak in the world
Owners both are Malaysians used to live and work in Singapore.
Hi Alderic pls sacrifice yourself and ask the owner his nasi lemak rice recipe pls
Dude should invite a guest next time. Like his family and friends or like a collab
fun fact village park is owned by a singaporean
Using hands disgust me
