city with a population of 1.4 million we are going to discover what some people call the best food in Indonesia Indonesia has the largest Muslim population on the planet and a large Muslim population means lots of halal food is there any part of the cow you cannot eat I don't think not all the things you saw that all the time in places where most people are eating halal food you'll also find less daring food than you might in other parts of Asia well today we've come to the city of Makkah so what these are lungs yes Indonesia Street food capital when I have my first child I'm tipping their head in this broth you can forget your boring old fried rice or noodles 1 2 3 because here we're exploring the most unique Wow I didn't know that most extreme halal food you'll find anywhere today I'm gonna get a first-hand look right here and mop this are Indonesia are you guys ready let's do it boom this fish market is part of powder a harbor it's the busiest port in the city hello nice to me Oh every bit of sea life that's caught in nearby waters passes through these stalls before making its way to homes and restaurants throughout Marcos are on each side of me all the seafood you could imagine is this bluefin tuna I think these are bluefin tuna I wish I knew more about fish I could try that Google app Google lets you point a camera at stuff and then it kind of pretends to know what it is oh it's a mackerel tuna Hey look at that I didn't know you can combine that mackerel into tuna I'm told that nearby here there's actually a restaurant you can bring a fish there they can grill it for you so we're kind of looking for a good grilling fish let's keep looking hello sir when does it end people are very friendly here this is what I'm talking about right here bull these are some girthy fish this is huge boom what's this anyone the blubber lip snapper that looks like a blubbery lip that looks awesome buddy pie take forever to cook right oh look at this one's live all these fish got lip injections they look hot these are the most kissable fish I've ever seen I think I'm gonna buy this fish my first the art of negotiation people will try to overcharge you you have to come strong with your negotiation game I just read the art of the deal by Donald Trump and now I'm feeling more pride more ready than ever pumped confident and smart about this negotiation let's do this how much 300 guys diary cam it's a huge fish that's actually not too bad of a price but let's see if we can get him down how about 200,000 but he said yes and then he added more money how did he can't do that all right that's not bad we started at 350 down to 215 215 yes and that guy says how every negotiation takes place here in this market that's really fun those that's a beautiful fish and now I'm not going to use it for kissing practice later just down the road from the market to Lanza blue tone you bring the fish they do the grilling we have our fish and now we've come to this restaurant where they're gonna grill this up what do you think it looks good my men I brought you a fish oh you just grabbed it right by the eyeball like a little bowling ball the blubber lip fish is sectioned into smaller guerrilla Bowl portions these big old fish chunks are slathered in oil and grilled for about an hour oh look at that that looks perfect I'm gonna try a piece right now some for you to some what a thousand degrees out here the students been working hard Cheers oh very good very clean nice charcoal pays to him and well earned my friend [Music] we've done it not only do we have the fish we have all these local delicacies here this is a a piece of a tree it's like waterlogged and they've got what looks like coconut milk and spices in here so I'm gonna try to just kind it wow that looks like meats that's a nice surprise huh this is a bitter melon stuffed with spices and fish sauce everything goes on rice let's try it out oh my god creamy and coconut milk there's some fish inside is so like crumbly like it makes your mouth dry out a little bit beyond that we have a peanut sauce here that you can mix with whatever you want so I'm gonna put that on here peanut sauce is like mostly chilies it is very spicy it's got some great savory saltiness to it enough with all that why did I order four of these this is the blubber lip right here yes the meat looks awesome it's a very hearty thick kind of robust chickeny meats mmm great smoky flavor put a little bit of this spicy Sun ball on the air Somme ball is so important in Indonesia it's like ketchup in the USA any restaurant you go to they're gonna have some spicy sambal and do not underestimate it it's gonna be very spicy nice big fishy by tons of sambal tons of rice this is markets are in a fork mmm awesome oh so fresh that's a great combo though even though it's spicy as heck it kind of lightens up this fish this is kind of the trick dog you just had some rice for sambal and everything inhale a lot to this spicy but not so much that you faint don't get lightheaded to help me along today's eating adventure I've enlisted to help among Kassar local feed done and Fatah has enlisted the help of more Makos are locals putting on a traditional welcoming ceremony what's going on they're doing a kind of dance for these things is presented to the king the blood eager to the king so he's talking to me like I'm a king yes yes I came now [Music] ah [Music] my way Lacroix yeah koala this is a part of a welcoming ceremony yeah I feel very welcome and I peed a little bit oh yeah that was great I think we can yeah no I think it's fine [Applause] the main carbohydrate sources and much of Asia tend to come from rice and also wheat but this restaurant uses these balls let me back up this starch comes from the center of the saw go treat here they mix it with water and let it ferment for three weeks it smells a little fermented smells like they're trying to make some Tsavo alcohol they take the fermented Sado starch and mix it with hot water creating an insane chemical reaction transforming its physical properties in with the starch or getting a pardon oh my gosh it's like jello that is so thick now it just went from the start stop start and then the water mix and instantly it's like this horse glue it's ready to make it into bulls like that it's handmade Wow just like that you want to tie my dope I wanna make a really big ball not bad not bad not bad get off my stick that's the ball okay Hey ladies is anyone looking at my balls oh no oh no it's not you make good can we go down here these are all the final ones that have kind of set they're not going to change shape anymore oh it feels so weird do you want to try something I want to say no let's do it it'll be fun 1 2 3 it's so offensive that's there for the balls already but that's just our base next they boiled green beans and spinach on the side the mortar and pestle is loaded with peanuts salt msg banana heart eggplant celery and corn all lovingly smashed together and dropped in the boiling pot we've got a little bit of shrimp chicken some vegetables this is some healthy-looking broth I'll just try it out oh it's got the taste of boiled spinach blow salting low peanut flavor Before we jump into those masago balls a little bit of shrimp maybe even some chicken to eat you got to be careful I almost took out a tooth it actually does taste a little bit like savory MSG and then chicken peanut and spinach that's great so now we're gonna really get into it it's kind of bizarre looks very strange so you can eat that no problem yeah the plain one you freaked out this is no problem for you definitely okay let's try it out hey it makes me uneasy what is going on same frothy flavor it's like soaked it up a little bit but mainly it's just a ball of goo it's like a loogie no I can't help it warm and thick and viscous so still enjoying it in the same way it's a hard texture to get used to if you had to choose between you know rice noodles or these what are you gonna choose maybe rice yeah it's tough like I think this is good for special occasions anniversaries Presidents ding but otherwise I don't know I couldn't do this every day next on my map is our hunger hit list choke Oh gah gah this is an institution in this city open 24 hours a day to fulfill all your animal offal needs what is the name of this protocol Manasa try to focus on yeah oh that sounds good these innards soaked in the restaurants famous beef broth what makes this dish really stand out is that here they're not just serving your usual cuts of beef but also the delicious innards you remember from anatomy class in high school intestines heart liver tongue and the list goes on this is kick yeah this is long lungs that is very unique black is tonight or you're taking some liver I'm taking some just regular meat it's good it's soft but I know it's bland it's just a little beefy flavor but I think it needs that wrong with our innards in hand it's time for their legendary broth it's a secret recipe from this restaurant don't tell me that's the axe and the water there's eggs in water I think we can kind of figure it out though if we look hard enough like what is that garlic yeah a ton of animal fat and just little pieces that have broken off so it looks super oily heavy beefy frothy like these words guys these are some pretty good food words alongside the main course ketchup on rice and coconut cream weaved inside a banana leaf kay sir he's gonna take a piece of it and just like kind of cut it open so that when people eat these later on they're just kind of easy to open otherwise it would be completely stuck again try it oh thank you mmm of course they're supposed to be prepared for something else but it's very creamy it's almost like mushy and that's gonna pair it with our other food over here [Music] let me tell you as far as halal goes this is some extreme halal food right here does that work to make any sense give it a little bit of a mix we got plenty of onion in there and then who knows mystery meats right here alright let's try it out what it's kind of gentle as when you look at the broth it looks like it kind of intense and bold and gravelly but the flavor here itself it's like that's kind of gentle bit savory and have a awesome texture they soak up that broth I like it I love it although they say it'll have one of your favorites yeah what do you like so much about this you can find it everywhere but there are a lot of places and this one is the best one what are other restaurants who boil random cow parts doing wrong and oh no it's the same same but you said this one is the best maybe it does mister a secret recipe yeah that's a plan they've already slid it open with a razor which I kind of wish our friends from earlier was here maybe instead of how long I'll just tell you right for you and for me that's enough let it soak up that looks gorgeous go deeper deeper deep your food Ranger a lot he goes pretty deep anything you put this broth on will become blessed I'm gonna baptize my child in this broth huh why is this ketchup hilltop live line it looks like printer ink soy sauce you said it's ketchup we call it ketchup here oh of course that's it's so far from ketchup what do you call actual ketchup made from a tomato well methyl selves you can't just go around changing names of things it's irresponsible chili sauce tomato sauce [Music] [Applause] this is our final location right here this kitchen serving beef ribs it's super popular and I think since they opened they were like everything is perfect we're killing it don't change anything don't clean anything just keep it the same tone rope or Abbasi has been around since 1968 once a small food stole they now have locations extending out to Jakarta their signature massive beef ribs served two ways dipped in broth or grill what should we get today I think that that one the glue can we put on some peanut sauce too [Music] the whole prefecture came to eat with us I mean to watch us eat hi and on this I do hi this is a broth yeah the sacred recipe oh yeah you won't talk hey once lol let's smell and guess cow oh that's remarkably good is very beeping very oily very much like that other beet place scope the pearls first and then pour it boom getting it all saturated there's something missing here I think I'm toast which is yeah could you squish that oh that's right like that very good but whatever these are ribs right here these are great they're gigantic and then there's smothered in peanut sauce oh my yeah the peanut sauce gosh I think I can just like mop up the peanut sauce Wow oh man that's a good combo I've never had that before wonderful peanut flavor Wow now I got it when I went into the kitchen I was intimidated by the state of things but it turns out after all these years they're doing something right because this tastes really good yeah how does it compare to other ones that you have had maybe as we great what do you think I mean for me I have nothing to compare it to yeah I'm not gonna compare it to American ribs or something like that I think from being here on the side of the street hanging out with all these kids will hold up like it's a drive-in flippin movie for me that makes it a 10 absolutely everything people here are so
