Many are Hokkien descent but it's still pretty diverse. The Santung Kwotie place is Shangdongnese. Their sign actually says "asli ncek santung" meaning the founder came straight from Shandong. Kopi Es Tak Kie and the curry vendor right across (Kari Lam) are Cantonese, Wong Fu Kie is Hakka, Nasi Ayam Hainam Apollo is Hainanese, and there's some Hokciu (Fuzhounese), Teochew, and Hui Chinese Muslim vendors as well. I'm a Cantonese and Teochew speaker myself. Thanks for visiting Jakarta's Chinatown 🙏
I will tell you what i know about indonesian food: 1. There are several style of bakmi around indonesia, and it concentrated in java, sumatera and kalimantan. 2. Bakmi in kalimantan and sumatera (ponti, medan and bangka are the most famous style) are often and mostly using drizzle of lime juice and blanched bean sprout, meanwhile in java they dont do that, but if they stated bakmi bangka, bakmi medan or bakmi ponti while they're located outside their area, thats another story. 3. Bakmi is originated as a chinese cuisine, and longtime ago, the chinese descendants that had migrated here had a competition for chinese food, then the descendants from jakarta won the category for bakmi when dimsum category won by descendants that lived and came from west java, therefore you will see "siomay bandung" is one of our extremely famous food. 4. Afaik, red yeast called angkak, can be used both for food and medicine Try more indonesian food, but stay safe and stay home for now, so we can fight this pandemic together 🤔
The red yeast eel is like our favourite! There is decades old restaurant called Angke around Kota area, not far from Glodok. That red yeast is their signature dish 🤤
Yes, these are mustard green underneath the ground pork. You have tasted some very traditional & representative Hakka cuisine, I am jealous from California, USA. Thank you for your trip to Chinatown in Jakarta. I feel like I have visited the place vicariously. My maternal family is Hakka and lives in Jakarta but I have never visited them.
Always delighted to see a new video of yours, always sad when it ends. Really enjoying this series, and I hope both of you are staying safe during these troubling times, lots of love from Ireland!
Hi Luke, me , my husband and my 11 year old son love your channel so much, please take care of yourself and your wife while traveling, because of Covid19 , please stay safe 🥰
Luke Martin y’all should pin or write in the description box that this was taken awhile ago! A lot of people are concerned in the comment section. Are you back at your home state? My daughter’s grandmother is on life support for a week now! She caught the virus! So..Safe safe, dude! 🙏🏼
It's amazed me that you can find Wong Fu Ki restaurant, it's not easy to locate😀 stay safe and be healthy Luke & Sabrina. Always fun watching you guys👍
Appreciate your honest opinion, guys. I'm not a big fan of those "confinement food" for new mothers either, but I'm glad that you guys are always game. I get annoyed that our neighbors in Malaysia and Singapore look down on our Chinese Indonesian food, but what they don't understand is that we have different influences (Hakka, Hokkien, Teochew, Cantonese, etc, as well as local culinary traditions) that might not suit their tastes but it doesn't mean that it's bad; it's just different. Again, kudos for being honest as I know you guys know your Chinese food. 👍🏽
Agreed. Too much negativity and lack of understanding from our neighbours. But also I think a lot of locals don't understand the 'asal-usul' and extent of Chinese Indonesian food either.
@@liongkienfai104 that's true. We'd even argue among ourselves on who has the best Chinese food. I know for a fact that many people from Borneo look down on the Chinese food found in Java. Even though I'm from Borneo myself, I can still appreciate the many varieties of Chinese Indonesian food wherever I go, whether it is in Bangka-Belitung, Singkawang, Semarang, or Makassar. Why argue about khew nyuk/babi hong when we should just enjoy them all indiscriminately?
That pork patty with fermented pickle and the eel have to be eaten with rice. That reason why the taste is a bit overpowering is because they are not meant to be eaten plain. Rice serves as a neutralizer.
i love to eat at glodok pancoran back in old days when i work at LtC lindeteves... every saturday always time for pancoran.. bakso wonogiri, bakmie, foodcourt at gedung candra, gudeg mbak, soto tangkar pinggir jalan(parkiran), mpek2 eirin lol.. such memory....
@@LukeMartin maybe u can try some foods from Solo city too ( Surakarta city, in the middle of Java), but always keep healthy n stay safe, we fight Corona Virus, we always stay at home n work from home Waitting u'r next video😉
Always love your videos. One question keeps popping in my mind - did you ever feel like putting down camera and finish the tasty meal first. And thanks for your hard work into these vlogs. God bless you both and keep safe.
That wasn’t water spinach (morning glory) in any of the noodle dishes. It’s choy sum. Also, did you mean jicama (hick-ah-ma) in the fried noodles? The steamed pork on preserved vegetables is supposed to be eaten with rice to cut the saltiness and bold fermented flavor of the veg.
We just arrived back from Jakarta a week ago! I have to say that the Indonesian people are truly beautiful and kind people. They were very helpful and polite. Jakarta itself needs more investment to make conditions better, especially for the poor. The food we tasted was lovely, although I prefer the food of Malaysia. However, we did have some incredible dishes like sucking pig, and various incredible noodle dishes. Love to Indonesia. Please stay safe. Errol.
Probably because there is no rice or plain tasteless porridge. Mostly Indonesian will have some rice or even plain porridge in Chinese restaurant. That's why the dishes will have strong flavor. Just my opinion
@@natanaelabdisaputra6500 yeah that is also true, indonesians like to eat everything with rice. some people even combine carbs, like eating rice with noodles :))
Hi, for hakka food you should go to hakka restaurant in pasar baru or angke beside gajah mada plaza in ketapang street. The one you eat is not the best one. For noodle.you should try bakmi keriting asli siantar in pluit, on a road behind a fruitstore.
bakmie Ballont at Petak 9 (market) alley is one of the best chicken noodles in Pancoran (old chinatown area), pan-fried dumpling (khuo tie) is one of legend dumpling in down town Jakarta, Wong Fu Kie restaurant is one of legend Hakka cuisine (not Hokkien cuisine) dish menu; Wong Shan cha Fumak (eel stir-fry with fumak similar like lettuce iceberg) Yu Tiau (stir-fry noodle hakka style), btw u r well known about Chinese cuisine, great job luke :-) when u to jakarta again let me know
The name of that green vegetable on the top every meal you ate actually is mustard green or choysum.Most Indonesian cooks water spinach as main ingredient like stir fried water spinach which is my fav home food 😅
Not every green is water spinach !! Most probably NOT in your particular case, because water spinach is seldomly used to accompany Chinese noodle dishes due to their taste mismatch. My guess is more like Chinese broccoli (Kai-lan) or choy-sin, which are more frequently used in Chinese noodle dishes.
There is an ice stall near Tak Kie Coffee shop. The only ice vendor in that area if I'm not wrong. You should try Macapuno Coconut Ice. We call it Kelapa Kopyor or Kelapa Puan. Ask the vendor to add a little salt. He knows how much salt he has to add to the ice. It's very delicious and tasty. I love that ice, I've had it since I was a little.
@@LukeMartin not yet luke.iam still thinking what to cook and iam kinda have to do something right now but anyways while you are in taiwan get all the goodness they have iam sure their beef noobles are superb.
Red yeast is pretty much completely unheard of in the west I feel like.. I wonder if there are western ingredients that are as uncommon in asia Those first noodles looked real good
Dumpling is very very expensive, almost HKD24/10 PCS. I guess the average salary of local Indonesian is about HKD2000-3000/MONTH, how they can afford such sky price dumpling.
Hi Luke, are you still in jakarta? Indonesia is implementing social distance, including Jakarta, which is being locked because of the covid-19 red zone. stay safe and healthy! 🙏

Cantonese? There's no siomay in canton 🤔
Glodok is like our must go area every time we come home to Jakarta🙂 Hope to be able go back again soon. Hope you are well & safe in Taiwan guys 🙏🏻🙂

Nick and Helmi agreed!!

I always watch your videos as if in the moment but hopefully you filmed this much earlier. That Bakmi looked awesome! Stay safe my friends!
Yes this was filmed over a month ago!
Pls. Add also to your video prices of foods you eat, it will help us a lot so that we will have an idea if we visit that country .
Wow, the way they cook the fire dumpling is extraordinary! 👍👍👍 This type of dumpling is normally boiled in soup.
Such a unique technique!
Nice place...Indonesia is beautiful place 🤗🤗🤗
How are you my friends Luke and Sabrina??
Amazing video
I caught you saying salt/salty many times 🤣 yeah we Indonesians love our salty spicy well-seasoned foods a bit way too much haha 😁
hahaha yes !
Probably because there is no rice or plain tasteless porridge. Mostly Indonesian will have some rice or even plain porridge in Chinese restaurant. That's why the dishes will have strong flavor. Just my opinion
@@natanaelabdisaputra6500 yeah that is also true, indonesians like to eat everything with rice. some people even combine carbs, like eating rice with noodles :))
It's alredy 9 oclock at night here in lombok island im watching your chanel now on the way kitchen to make noodles...
Hahaha yeah that's our goal: to make you hungry when watching!
@@LukeMartin GOD bless you luke and sabrina im your fans from lombok island..
Was a nice surprise to see you guys, always worth watching, stay healthy and safe 👍👍
Thanks Dennis!
Your videos need more attention Luke! If more Indonesians find your “Indonesian based” videos your views will be in the millions
The soup for the noodle is not the water used for blanching the noodles
Hi, for hakka food you should go to hakka restaurant in pasar baru or angke beside gajah mada plaza in ketapang street. The one you eat is not the best one. For noodle.you should try bakmi keriting asli siantar in pluit, on a road behind a fruitstore.
Actually not only Hokkien. There are Hakka , Tiochew and Cantonese.
hi Luke I'm happy finding your video...I love it. I'm from Jakarta
Nice you are in my city, Jakarta, enjoy 👍👍
Thanks ☺️
Nice... !, Mampir ke Indonesia lagi bang 😂

I want some of those yummy looking dumplings 😍🤤
Oh yeah! With the garlic sauce, they are fantastic!

Yes, it was filmed in early February. Take care!
Siang Foodie UA-cam channel❤ ur videos
Anyone has ever been in Jakarta and enjoyed street food 😍

My guess is more like Chinese broccoli (Kai-lan) or choy-sin, which are more frequently used in Chinese noodle dishes.
If in Indonesia, we call it " warung makan" if restaurant more fancy in our Indonesian mind
Thanks for another great food tour. Look after yourselves, stay safe
Thank you very much for watching. Take care.
Be safe in your travels. Watching your vids as we are in shelter in place.
Stay safe!
Man im watching this and i got hungry now
Be safe dude love your vids btw :D
Thanks, you too!
I don't think the soup is from the water they use for blanching the noodle. It is just a light broth 😁 usually using spare chicken bones.

Ah there is a very nice fried noodles in China Town Area, just a bit out of this ares. A very small stall but very delicious fried noodles.

More indonesian food, like your content 👍🏻

Itu pangsit babi gan 🤣

All the good has that extra grease. I might have high cholesterol after all those delicious food lol
Yes, you can't eat these everyday, but they are delicious. Thanks for watching and take care!
Should tried the bakso goreng near bakmi amoy
Sorry that you missed the coffee
Should go there in morning 😁
Awesome
It takes more than poking around to undedrstand the local cooking style and methods.Looking forward to your real Indonesian foods.
More videos coming every Sunday!
Dumpling is very very expensive, almost HKD24/10 PCS. I guess the average salary of local Indonesian is about HKD2000-3000/MONTH, how they can afford such sky price dumpling.
hi you looks like mike lewis he Indonesian chinese half canada,,
Luke, you have to try the kari (curry) rice noodle.. 9:59 :)
We haven't tried it. We were so full and had more to eat on our day so we didn't get to this time. But we will next time!
I am glad you are agreeing that the restaurant is a little bit grungy! But maybe too grungy for me
Food was fantastic though!
Keep healthy, enjoy❤️
Thanks ❤️
