this is crab. Chilli crab cooked with chilli, tomato sauce, other spices, and egg. I haven't eaten crab in years. Then moving on, we have prawns. Everything is local, by the way. Everything is super fresh
from Indonesia. These are prawns with butter and garlic served with two sauces. This one is with vinegar. And on my left we have this one with soy sauce. And then take a look at this one. I've never seen anything like that. These are scallops. Look!
Served with garlic and glass noodles. Look how elegant they look. This is a high-end seafood,
elevated seafood. And then one of their signature dishes. This is a grouper steamed. Look! I believe this is with
soy sauce. I'm super excited. I haven't seen food
in a very long time. You all have been telling me to try seafood here in Jakarta
so many times. The day has finally come and I'm just so happy. I'm like a happy kid. The seafood, as you saw before
is super fresh, live. And now, it's time to dig in. I think the best way to start this feast is with oysters. I think what I need to do
is just to squeeze some lemon on it and go for it. Oh, look how big! Indonesian oyster. Buon Appetito! Mamma Mia It's so fresh. There is no oceany flavour at all. So meaty, super juicy. I just love it. I haven't had oysters
in a very long time with a touch of lemon. It cleans.. it cleans up your palate and it definitely opened my stomach. These oysters are like popcorn, one after the other. And then within a blink of an eye, you finish them. Oh, man! I love the aftertaste You can taste a bit of the saltiness but it is not overwhelming, It's just perfect. We can really taste the quality, how fresh it is. And now, I need to go for this
amazing looking scallops My God!
Take a look Oh, this looks gorgeous. Steamed scallops served with garlic I can see a bit of soy sauce, chilli,
parsley and glass noodles. Let’s go for it. Look, look at the noodles. Look at the scallop which has been
steamed and sliced like sashimi style. This is a glorious bite. Oh, wow. The texture. Oh. Hmm. It's so unique. So, it's quite lemony. There's definitely a bit of soy
sauce. I love the noodles
and the scallops combined together with the touch of crunchiness
from the garlic. Oh, this is a happy marriage. Happy marriage between the two. And then, you scoop up a bit of the soy sauce. Oh, Mamma mia,
Mamma mia. This is a bomb! This is an absolute bomb. Look, fried
garlic on top, scallops, noodles. Oh, f forgot the chilli. Where did you want to go? You were about to hide. Noodles and scallops together, plus crunchy garlic on top. This is a 2024 combination. This is incredible. Soft noodles, juicy scallops, crunchy and the garlic on top Perfection on a bite! Okay, moving on.
Oh, I really want to try the prawns. Local prawns. Oh, yes. I don't know you guys, but when the prawns are fried,
I eat everything. I eat everything. I'm not shy. Alright,
let's go for it. Oh, look,
let's add a bit more of garlic and Buon Appetito! Oh, yeah. Mm mm. So buttery, garlicky, meaty,
so juicy. Even though it has been deep fried, it still stays juicy. And that's what I love about it. Now, I need to try these two sauces. I want to go for this one first. This with chilli and vinegar. Spicy. Sour. Woke me up And now, I want to try this one. With soy sauce. This looks a bit more intense. Let's see. Actually, this is a bit more refreshing. Soy sauce, I believe there is some
lime in it. Oh, I really like it. And now I really need to go
for this fish. I've been looking at it ever since
they brought it to the table. Yeah, this is calling my name. Yes, I’m coming to you now. And you are coming to me. But with this, I need some of my rice as well. Oh, steamed.. Oh, my goodness. See?
It's still spicy, oh. There’s a piece of chilli that got stuck at the back of the throat. Take a look. This is grouper. Oh, it's quite meaty. Steamed, And they say that this is absolutely one of their best sellers. And let's see what the hype is about. Just grab a piece because I really want to try the meat itself and the quality of the fish. Very elegant, very soft, flaky, and dissolves in your mouth
immediately. Now I want to get a piece of the fish. Oh, yeah, this is what we're talking about. Look how much meat. Let’s put it onto my rice. And here we are Oh..
This is nice. It has, some like a
medicinal aftertaste Probably it has been given by
some of the spices. like it. I can tell why people love it,
because it’s simple, it doesn't have
an aggressive taste. And it’s so meaty, elegant, delicate. Definitely the quality of the fish. That's what stands out to me. And now, the best for the last, the crab. Mamma Mia, look at this! Look at this big boy. Oh, what I've been dreaming about This is crab chilli, of course, cooked with chilli, tomato sauce,
other spices and the egg. Let's see if I can.. I can open it. They gave me the tool. Let's see if I can use it properly. And 3 hours later, I made it.
Look! Oh, look at the meat. Let's resauce it. Oh, yes. Mamma Mia guys,
this is the ultimate seafood feast. Buon Appetito What are we talking about here? What are we talking about? This is illegal. This is illegal. This is insane. I’m in shock It’s so meaty, succulent, like it explodes in your mouth with juice, with flavours. The sauce is very well-balanced. If everything is in harmony, everything here is so good. I think they just took the already fresh and top quality seafood that they have here in Indonesia and took it to a whole another
dimension and level. Because they elevated the flavour of what already was top quality, Andy, it’s so delicious. Everything is so delicious. Thank you so much Everything is my favourite. By the way, they are so nice. they've been very nice and available to explain things to us and they've been very nice. Look, look at this. Oh, my goodness. Oh. Man. I can't believe I’m having
the seafood feast I haven't had seafood
in a very long time, especially the crab, scallops, oysters. And I never had the grouper before. I'll be thinking and dreaming
about it for a very long time. Oh,

of preparation. This is a banana leaf. Look! The Christmas package. Oh.....Mamma Mia! Merry Christmas, guys. So this is a local crab which has been steamed, fried. Then, they covered it in this thick black mixture of spices, stir fried in the wok, then covered in banana leaf and then finally grilled. And then, sambal. Because in Indonesia, not spicy a party. We have mango and tomatoes. I want to start with this.
With the boiled blood cockles. Let’s open it up. Oh, nice! Mmm...
A bit salty and juicy. Because they explode in your mouth. Oh, with these you can have 1000. 1000 of these. Now, I want to try the squid I have the sauce. I’ve been recommended by
one of the waiters. Can you hear how crunchy they are? The fun fact of this
is they’re addictive. You can't stop. If you love it. Moving on. Ikan Bakar. Let's squeeze some lime. Let's grab a piece Oh my God, it’s so meaty. Then eat with my rice.

the chef spread on it. Look how much meat. Look how much meat. This is a steak. Indonesian fish steak.
Look, grilled, nice. Let's add some sambal as well. Mango as well. Why not? Valentino Rossi just passed by, by the way. It's good. Full of meat. It’s a bit sweet
because of the sweet soy sauce, spices, and with the lime on top. That makes it extra
refreshing, actually. And now, the moment of the star Like this morning, guys, the crab. But this is cooked
in a completely different way. Oh, look at the eggs. Look at the eggs. Oh, my goodness! Amazing. Let’s put it on my plate and I want to get a bit of the meat. And let me try just this piece
of the meat. This is unique. Not spicy at all. It just smells spicy. Kind of aromatic kick to it. I really want to try
some of these spices here. The thickness of the spices and a bit of the meat. Oh, my goodness.
I made it. 3 hours later, Sherly is laughing behind the camera because she's an expert. But I'm not. I'm a beginner. Anyway. Now, this is to you, guys. Buon Appetito! And the winner is.. right here, my friend. This friend. Oh, oh.. I try the egg now A bit hard
because they’ve been fried. But the meat with the spices Oh! Illegal It's nothing compared to what it actually is. This is illegal times ten Super Mega Hyper delicious. Incredible. But what makes a difference are the spices and the banana leaf. The spices are complex,
but at the end of the day, everything matches perfectly. As I say this morning, for I can't remember what it was but it’s a happy marriage The last thing is the Kangkung I’ll just mix up a bit of everything. A bit of the Kangkung, the fish,
the rice, the egg of the crab Let’s get a bit of a piece of
squid too. Mamma Mia, what a bite! If it’s not messy We don't love it. I'm impressed. Today has been an incredible day full of delicious seafood. From the previous place high-end seafood, really. They elevated the flavours and they had top quality
