On a rainy day in Jakarta, Ken and I headed over to a restaurant called Nasi Gandul IBu Endang, somewhere in the western part of Jakarta. The restaurant is a neighborhood restaurant known for serving a famous Indonesian dish, originally from Yogyakarta, called Gudeg, or Nasi Gudeg (because it’s served with rice). Gudeg is a jackfruit stew where the jackfruit is cooked for so long that it turns silky soft. It’s a bit of a sweet dish, but what I enjoyed so much about it was that it was so unique when paired with all the other different ingredients. The cowskin curry in particular was quite delicious.

Another dish they specialize in at Nasi Gandul IBu Endang is Nasi Rawon which is a black beef stew made with keluak nuts. I was a huge fan of the rawon, it has a rich and an amazing flavor and you eat it together with baby bean sprouts, lime juice, and sambal chili sauce. We also enjoyed a few other Indonesian dishes during out. meal at Nasi Gandul IBu Endang.

For our next stop, we headed over to Rumah Durian Harum, a well known spot for durian. They had just about every kind of durian you treat you can imagine, from durian juice to durian ice cream to fresh durian. We had the durian ice and a couple of fresh durian, all of which were pretty good and a nice way to end the evening.

The final dish has arrived and this is a dish that this restaurant is well known for I think we should speak in with the actual Buddha first okay and yeah fruit Oh YUM it’s like silky cotton what’s up everyone its mark Wiens with migration ology calm in Jakarta Indonesia it’s

Been a very rainy afternoon but it looks like the rain has just cleared and we are at our hotel now and our friend Ken who is a local blogger here he’s coming to come pick us up and we are on our way

To go eat we are on our way to go eat a dish called good egg which is a jackfruit stew which is famously from Jogjakarta but it is also popular in jakarta i thought the rain was going to stop but it actually rained the entire way here we drove for about thirty

Minutes and we’re at a restaurant that is called nasi Gundel and this is a restaurant that specializes in a bunch of different dishes it’s just nothing under EBU and EBU and now is the owner of the place this is a Javanese yeah Javanese out and we just

Ordered a couple of the different dishes especially the famous well-known dishes that this restaurant serves this one is called nasi erawan so you guys the the soup basically is a beef soup and it’s thick and it’s kind of sweet and you eat it with a bean sprout and

The lime juice and then with some sambal yep and you normally put this into the super do you mix all together with the rice and the soup the method of eating this dish is to really mix it up with the rice so it’s kind of soupy that good

A good consistency there yeah I’ll get put some Liz Browz and then season with these little bean sprouts squeeze some lime on there like almost porridge style oh yeah it has a little bit of a like a Chinese braised flavor to it but light and really really Pleasant a very smooth

Beef broth and those little bean sprouts are really good as well they’re kind of fresh yeah they’re kind of kind of juicy I’m going to taste some more of those bean sprouts so I can get a good taste of them those are just those are baby screen Queens sprouts anything up okay

Was there a little bit shrimp paste in that sambal oh it’s really good that is just an entire plastic container full of extra meat parts normally when you come to a restaurant like this and you see a communal plate either some garnishing vegetables or some sauces but

Here you come and they have an entire extra plate of communal meat sitting in the middle of the table so you can just grab some extra meat there are some eggs in there and some meat parts which have all been already cooked in the sauce and

You can if you’re if you’re feeling like some extra protein you can just grab as much as you want we’re gonna move into the meat bucket here and what are you taking I’m taking the intestines okay I’m gonna take one of these pieces which it’s called limpa limpa I’m not even

Sure what is ending I don’t know what the the English name is either yeah I think it’s a part oh you can actually see the like grass and your greens in there well it’s kind of kind of sticky I think this will need some sambal all right ready hurry Dan

Yeah sweet oh my god that is sweeter it definitely has a little bit of a gummy texture to it it’s chewy and soft and gooey all at the same time you like I’m kind of sticky and it’s good and very grassy tasting as well here men have another that’s definitely an interesting part

We’re going to move over to the next dish and what is this dish called let’s go gotta Assam got on Casa got onions kind of looks scary and then awesome in sour it’s really really a cool packet of food and is it is it steamed in the

Banana oh yeah it’s been an ally and it you can see the chiles embedded in there you can see some herbs in there and whatever muted it it’s the ribs of cows let me get some more of those chilies this is the star fruit oh oh so there’s also it’s also flavored with

Star fruit yep okay let me put this onto my rice that has a wonderful earthy green Bailey flavor to it and the herb flavor is what really comes in strong and it’s actually not not really spicy and it has a little bit of a sweet undertone to it as well

It’s a basically a steamed fried rice okay awesome and it looks spicy the entire dish looks like it’s caramelized oh now I can see before I couldn’t see now you can see those little layers of the tripe all right the tripe is actually incredibly tender and not chewy whatsoever then the sauce

Is actually very sweet and it does have a spicy edge to it because of all those chilies but it’s really kind of a I would call this like almost dessert sweet but with chilies in it and tripe and the tripe is almost bacony but if it

Was less sweet I would like it better the final dish has arrived and this is a dish that this restaurant is well known for this one is the gugak itself so it’s from the jackfruits and it’s marinated in the sweet sauce and it’s kind of like it’s easy to break in

It dissolves in your mouth kind of and this is the tofu eggs let’s look the chicken with some sauce and then business the best for me the cow skin skin and it’s very chewy and it’s spicy and it’s just hard to explain man it’s just so good all right and so when you

Get a plate of nasi good day does it normally include the same mixture or gonna be a different mixture of lines there’s two kind normally they always serve chicken but this place serve it like already in the shaped form but usually they just give it like ass like

A chicken leg like that but usually this is the traditional traditional mix mix yep all right I think we should speak in with the actual food first okay nan yeah true I am yeah the first flavor that you get is definitely sweet but it’s the texture of

It it’s really also this Oh John it’s like silky silky cotton not as fluffy as hot and it’s still dense but it’s really really fluffy try some that cow skin oh wow yeah you can feel the the wiggliness of that oh yeah that’s so fluffy and so soft you can

Taste the rich coconut milk on it again it has a sweet tinge but at the same time that’s balanced with the chili and the overall flavor maybe there’s some lemongrass in there all their beans in here as well and get a mix of everything there’s a little bit in the South pocket

I just assembled a bite that includes a little bit of everything all in one spoon I really like the first soup thought I want that’s really really good and then the nasty budae that was also it’s on the sweet side for me but because it’s so unique and because it’s

Something I haven’t tried before and the combination of all those ingredients I really enjoyed it and very interesting dish we are now on our way to go to a place for dessert and as soon as I opened the door the entire car has just smelled full of the

Aroma the sweet pungent honey aroma of durian it’s humid air in here so it’s like the air is just saturated with durian this is like a this can definitely be called a durian sauna in here and this they have a big trough right in the middle full of fresh durian but then

They also have durian ice cream they have durian some kind of mixed durian dessert they have durian pancakes basically anything durian you can imagine they have it here but I’m a pretty natural kind of guy when it comes to dairy and I like my durian just fruit

So we are ordering a fruit and then we might try some of the desserts as well this one is s Cambodia which is a mixed durian I see treat and we better eat this first well it is before it melts all the way is this an ice cream or is

This a cave nice shaped ice okay yeah start to sleep yeah it’s actually not too sweet and actually you can taste the real pieces of durian flesh in that move that’s like a frozen icy durian that’s actually amazing that’s like durian refreshment it was good so they had a couple of different

Choices of varieties of durian we got the one from Medan which is from northern Sumatra and it’s really really fragrant let me break open and little little small pieces of durian with big seeds but the flesh is known to be nice and strong and pungent durian flavored

It’s very sweet and very creamy but it has a really nice balanced bitterness to it as well which I love that’s what I love so much about durian is the balance of sweet bitter and outrageous creamy and then also on everyone’s tables I have a tray of aqua aqua cheese fish

Cake grilled in banana leaves and since it’s so conveniently right in the middle of our table we got to have one and there’s some peanut sauce to go on it that is a very bouncy and kind of very smooth at the same time dish cake and you can actually taste the coconut yep

In there quite well and then a slightly roasted liver from being grilled in the banana leaf haha number two part Cathy this is a sloppy Harriet it’s like holiday scream there was no way that we could stop at one durian so we ordered another durian and for this one we got

One from Pelham box you can actually see completely a different color this one is much wider and it actually looks like just cream within the shell and this one I think it might even have a stronger aroma to it Wow oh it’s only oh wow yeah that’s me

There’s almost the seed is small and this one oh and that’s just here creaminess that actually is almost like melted ice cream oh this one is like like five times more flavorful and pungent than the other one it’s more sweet it’s more bitter and that’s like that is actually like it’s

Almost a texture of margarine it’s so creamy and fluffy good do that is a richly complex durian flavor got to be joy thanks to Ken or bringing ying and i around I enjoyed everything and this is a great way to end I’m going to leave Ken’s blog and this Instagram
