This is what Westerners Really Think about Palembang Food

What do Westerners really think about Indonesian food? In this episode, I invite guests to try traditional food from Palembang in South Sumatra, Indonesia.
Filming takes place in the ‘Laurenceverse’, a virtual fine dining restaurant where our guests can experience the best of Indonesian cuisine.
Today our guests try Pempek Palembang, Brengkes Tempoyak (fish with durian) and Es Kacang Merah (iced red bean dessert).

[@frostycherry94]

Hi Laurence, great video! would appreciate it if you put on your description which of your videos talk about the 5 foods in your leaderboard.

[@rakstar4442]

that's too bad they don't know there's many types of pempek here ini Palembang. The one they tried is "Pempek Panggang" (roasted pempek). And the most fav here actually the fried one. You guys should try it on the next eps

[@Anak-Elang15]

Betul sekali 👍 saya setuju dgn anda

[@satunusa4053]

[@drippingout6154]

I love with this reaction format video 👍🏻

[@muhardiantocahya664]

thanks bro for introducing Palembang foods..
I recommend you to try Palembang spaghetti (mie celor) and pempek lenggang.

[@xerxes8210]

I'm surprised that they really like Tempoyak! Not a lot of Indonesians like fermented durian :)))

[@henrykoernia8936]

Yup, in my family only my mom who like it, i prefer regular durian

[@Meowyaaaa]

Mungkin mereka suka rasa2 yang asam2 gitu. Rasanya agak asam kan?

[@maaaeik7433]

@@Meowyaaaa enggak. Rasa tempoyak yang enak itu manis.

[@maaaeik7433]

@@Meowyaaaa tempoyak yg bagus itu manis. Aku gak makan tempoyak tapi seisi rumah makan semua

[@denjfrzz2308]

Tempoyak sebenarnya rasanya manis, gurih dan sedikit asam pedas. Orang Indonesia itu cenderung lebih mengikuti pikiran kadang hanya karena look nya bagus itu di rasa enak. Sementara lain dg orang luar mereka akan mencicipi sebelum berkomentar.

[@aslanalvaro1888]

Finally ,you upload full video again

[@littleolliebenjy]

Such a good video! Thank you so much for uploading this! 🙏🙌🔥❤️

[@12tahunyanglalu]

Wah ada adek nya laurence benson

[@paulinapingkan2023]

I wish you give them each satay from each region in Indonesia, it must be interesting to watch or rujak/asinan too

[@erickmartinus5438]

You guys started off with a dessert 🤣🤣🤣
I'm sure es kacang merah would get higher score if tried last. The refreshing sweetness could wash away the savory feeling of pempek & brengkes.

[@Ryzerfsx]

Halo Laurence,aku orang Indonesia dan saya bangga makanan Indonesia dikenal orang luar negeri

[@pakujang6155]

My favorit food pempek and tempoyak 😍 i love it

[@heruhaerul2982]

Nice content bro keep it up

[@yudi1672]

Es kacang merah terenak apalagi ditambah sama alpukat. Brengkes tempoyak pake ikan patin lebih mantap

[@diandian7536]

Hi,i'm from Palembang..I' sure the taste more deliciouse when you come to palembang

[@herikurniawan1868]

You are the best bro..

[@dilladiary]

Ohh finaly 🎉🥳

[@domitiusnarkan6600]

Kita di indonesia juga sangat suka masakan daerah terutama rendang yang istimewa 👍

[@damiadayana3822]

I think, I recognize Conrad from another YT channel... If I am not mistaken, he can speak Indonesian even Java language fluently... :D

[@satunusa4053]

Kalau pempek asli beli di palembang itu terasa bgt ikannya kak.. Ditambah cuko hitam.. Mantab kakkk...

[@sridamayantie2810]

You should've tried tekwan, taste like bakso. It's fish balls with light broth. Or try pindang patin.

[@septisep8549]

coba di tambah makanan seperti "pindang ikan,pindang tulang(daging),Tekwan,Model,dll" itu kyknya pd suka.
boleh jg di cobain pempek yg jenis lain...
kl yg di coba ini namanya pempek panggang.
coba pempek Kapal selam,pempek telur,lenjer,dll...

[@arafatzaidani7381]

Yes mie celor juga sabi banget dicoba

[@wagridiansyahutama6629]

Laurence, Keren thats my home town food, South of Sumatera, Palembang 👍🥰😍

[@femilda02]

Bule makan tempoyak 😂😂
Makanan Palembang lebih byk dipengaruhi budaya Tionghoa, jd byk olahan ikannya.
I love Es Kacang Merah,, my favourite❤❤
Thank you Laurence for this video 😊🙏

@@a1254m you should watch the other videos, apparently his content filled with ignorant white peoples judging Indonesian traditional food but sadly this disrespectful behavior got pass by our society since it looks fun with bule trying our cuisine.

@@houseoftyrell1544 and I’m kind of bored with similar content like this, like we’re craving for foreigner’s validations regarding our culture and identity. The scoring stuff is ridiculous, unnecessary and biased. Why on earth we need other’s approval about what are good or delicious, it’s local taste, tradition and our own delicacy, so personally for me screw their opinions, it ain’t that matter 😂

that is a different kind of pempek palembang, I guess it was a pempek bakar or panggang, so different with the original pempek.

[@panjitrihatmojo2896]

Kalo belum pernah langsung nyobain pempek ke kota palembang jangan harap merasakan rasa asli dari pempek itu..

[@syh9426]

Fair enough. Indonesian people also think the same that western foods are weird in general, tasteless, too basic and not challeging because plain taste and not spicy.

[@soulfreeasep3267]

Memperkenalkan makanan atau minuman seharusnya juga bisa menjelaskan apa saja bahan bahan dasarnya jadi agar yang mengkomsumsi tidak salah mengartikan bahwa yang mereka makan atau minum itu apa saja, dan penjelasan bahwa kacang hijau itu baik untuk kesehatan atau dan lain sebagainya (kalau itu ada bahan yang baik untuk kesehatan, kalau tidak ada juga tidak perlu dijelaskan tidak apa apa) dan kalau bisa penjelasannya setelah mereka memakannya / meminumnya dan setelah mereka memberikan penilaian, soalnya orang luar negeri kalau mereka belum tahu apa yang mereka makan / minum walaupun makanan / minuman itu sebenarnya enak tapi enggan berfikir positif tentang makanan / minuman yang mereka baru tau / baru kenal
