"That peanut sauce is good. That could go on anything." I got good news for you padre, it does go on everything!

Gado-gado is usually just the fried tofu with vegetables without rice, so it really is more like a salad. The style I am more used to usually comes with shrimp paste and peanuts as a dressing. Also, on jellies in the es chendol, I would just like to add that, in Southeast Asia, agar (derived from seaweed) is usually used in place of gelatin, and has a firmer texture when the jelly solidifies (and we have a jelly desert often just called agar agar that can be flavoured with fruits, coconut milk, etc.) with a firm texture and stronger structure than, say, jello, for example.

Yes, Eggs on everything. Eggs are a good cheap way to get protein in many countries around the world. In the USA Eggs are a luxury nowadays. In the countryside of a poor country, eggs are the poor man's protein. If you don't have your own chickens in a poor country your neighbors do. Buy or trade for those eggs.

Love the different takes from each dad. The first one is very picky on texture, the second one compares each dish with similar Mexican ones, and the last dad just enjoys eating.

Indonesian food do be bussin'. Would love to see the Dad's try Moroccan food next

That dad with the mustache got a great tongue! Lots of his analysis of the ingredients were correct just after tasting it the first time. I wish he tried Indonesian spicy dish since Mexico is known for their spicy stuff also. Something like fried chicken or fried catfish with sambal and fresh veggies AKA lalapan.

5:57 “they love their eggs dont they?” laughing so hard while eating my egg stir-fried vegetables (im indonesian)

I like them all. Even though it's not their favorite food, they still eat and remain polite. greetings from Indonesia

I’m Malaysian so we are close to Indonesia. Very close. And boy let me tell you. They can cooooookkkkk. Best dish I ever had was a beef rendang made from a friend of my mom. Some of the best food I’ve had!

peanuts are also protein that we use as a cheap alternative, this is why nut allergies aren't as common here as the US because we have peanuts everywhere Not saying peanuts are cheap nowadays, but that is how it was back in the day

Yay, finally! I'm really happy to see their honest reaction! 👍 There are, in fact, eggs in that cake! 😁 I approve their choice of _bika ambon_ because it’s made with exotic spices like makrut lime leaves, turmeric, etc. and has a unique texture thanks to the addition of palm wine (if it's authentic). Combined with coconut milk, it makes the kind of savory desserts we prefer in Indonesia but might taste weird to foreigners. There are a wide variety of fried pastries in Indonesia, adapted from Portuguese, Spanish, Dutch, French, and British culinary influences: panada, pastel, risoles, karipok, etc. I won't even complain about the lack of authenticity in all their dishes because they had to work with what they have there. There must be a reason why they serve _gado-gado_ and _sate_ with rice, probably to cater to their market or because they don't have the means to serve the proper condiments. All in all, I'm just glad our papahs can try our food! 🥳

i love their innocent reaction, feel like watching my dad. wholesome.

Did you guys know in Manado (one of the city in Indonesia) we do have Enpanadas which you guys mentioned several times in the video? we called it Panada.

I haven't watched yet. But the answer is yes. Indonesian food is fantastic. And Mexican Dads love fantastic food.

These gentlemen are very good reviewers!! And they complete each other, like one would pinpoint the ingredients, another would pinpoint the taste and texture, another would explain how it feels to eat it... kudos to the dads and the crew who casted and brought them together! Oh and as an indonesian, i think you made a great choice of indonesian food, not too common but also not too bizzare. Thank you, i enjoyed this ☺️🩷

I love all the guys especially the guy with the glasses

The black tshirt dad is may fave! He describes all the dishes very clearly, he’s way better than food vloggers that can say only ‘delicious’ and ‘yummy’ 😂. He should create his food review channel 🎉

I love how they're all very welcoming and respectful towards different foods from a very different culture. Hats off.

As an Indonesian i was so proud about this vid tysm so much for trying our food

"This is doesn't look like a fried rice," cut to the other dad, "This definitely look like a fried rice."😂

Gado-gado usually comes with more peanut butter and more vegetbles. It's like 70% veggies and 30% carbo. it's a healthy food, I think. Gado-gado in this presentation a little bit different that what we usally have here in Indonesia. And we love our food spicy, maybe just like you, guys Anyway, a nice vid. I do enjoy watch this.

So cute! It’s so fun to see people’s reactions from eating food from my country! Everyone’s honest about what they think but they remain respectful and they tried everything 🥹

I really wish to see Mexican Dads/Moms trying Avocado Juice. That would be interesting 😁

Love how respectful they are even when they don't like some of the menu. I love them! As an Indonesian myself, Mexican food fits very well into my palate, so I'm glad to hear that they like most of what they've tried here. Food truly unites people

Black shirt papa is always spot on. He knows food well

These padre are so polite. Some of the foods maybe not fit into their preference but they still remain polite, say it's good ans such. Gracias! ☺

Ahh, finally the food of my people! Give these dudes some lemper ayam and watch them freak out.

Fun fact we called it Panada in Sulawesi, maybe the word come from enpanada in spanish?

Nah I feel disappointed ☹️ not for the papa but for the food that they presented…it’s not like the real authentic one

Pempek is the general name of this food. I'd like to tell you a little bit of history of Pempek/Empek-empek. It came from South Sumatera and first introduced to public when South Sumatera's capital of province, Palembang, blessed with a lot of river fish, especially in Musi River. So, one day some Indonesian-Chinese merchant tried to make use of that fish so that it wouldn't go to waste. They took the fish meat and mixture it with flour and other ingredient, after that they make texture from it and then boil it. This food is categorized as an appetizer or snacks, depends on what kind of Pempek you served. The one that you served called Pempek Kapal Selam (translated as Pempek Submariner in English😂). Kapal Selam consists cucumber, shrimp's powder as condiment on top of it, and a larger pempek that filled with a whole boiled-egg. You can add yellow noodle (sometimes served with a little bit of rice noodle) if you like it, but their name will be changed as Rujak Mie/Rujak Pempek (Noodle Rujak/Pempek Rujak). Why it is called rujak? I'll never know for sure, in fact, that so-called rujak pempek is not even a rujak 🤣 (Rujak is a type of dessert/appetizer that consists of chopped fruit, typically tropical fruit like pineapple, watermelon, melon, cashew fruit, jicama, starfruit, etc and served with palm sugar sauce that sometimes can be mixed with chili). As for other kind of pempek, they typically have smaller size with so many kind of flavour and ingredients. I believe that anyone who enjoys fish stick or any processed fish food would also love Pempek as their comfort food when they are bored or else. So, come and visit Palembang if you would like to try a lot of Pempek variation 🤍

I love the last person who discribe indonesian food, like a pro chef.. calm and cool

Where was the rendang?!

It's interesting how Mexicans react to Indonesian food, but also a little disappointing that rendang isn't included here. Still, it's an interesting video.

Arturo should have his own food channel 😀 as Indo the way he describe the food is very professional

As a indonesian we really like spreading our culture everywhere, when a tourist comes around we always greet them. Thank you for trying our food!

Quite nice food choise to be introduced 😂 Just love to hear what others think about food from other countries ❤

Muchas gracias tio, I appreciate everything in this video, love from Indonesia 🇮🇩

9:06 "This one definitely goes with coffe" -Straight up how we eat it around in Indonesia

Im from Indonesia, especially the city of Makassar, in our city pastel is also called panada 😄

As Indonesian, it's my first time seeing green bika ambon cake. I remember one time eating yellow bika ambon cake. The green color on indonesian dessert or cake most of time comes from pandan leaf.

All my favorite foods!! I haven't had some of those in over 20 years🥹 Good stuff. The second and the last dad aren't picky eaters. That's great!

Love your content guys! You're the Best ❤❤❤❤

Wow you guys have so many food, btw the dads so amazing very respectful. Nice content

Some info about Pastel and Panada (Empanada): Indonesia also have the "Empanada" which we call Panada. Pastel and Panada have the same shape. The difference are in the ingredients Pastel: The wrap is more like thin crispy pastries, and it has vegetables fillings inside. Panada: The wrap is more like thick soft bread, and it has meat fillings inside (chicken, beef, or fish).

I love that you add more variety of foods which is rarer to be chosen such as Pempek, Es Cendol, Bubur Ayam, and Bika Ambon. This is refreshing, and I like it!

some area in Indonesia, Pastel also called Panada

Wow, they even got bika ambon! whoever did the research nailed it on the head, there's lots of culinary varieties from different regions. If you guys ever decide to do something like this again I suggest cuisines from eastern Indonesia, papeda from Papua, betutu chicken or babi guling from bali, rica/tinorangsak/woku pork or tuna from Manado, or the various soups (coto, sop saudara etc) from Makassar.

All of you guys have to try alpukat kocok (shaken avocado). In your country avocado usually for savory food but in Indonesia we usually juiced it and add some chocolate

The porridge is one of indonesian most popular breakfast menu. We have hundreds of different cultures in indonesia, but we all love bubur ayam 😁

es cendol is a great summer drink, because its not too sweet, its made using palm sugar and coconut milk, along with the green jellies made from rice flour flavoured with pandan, hence the green colour (then it is strained using a form of metal strainer and then cut, that is why its shaped like an elongated droplet) premium versions with additional topping like jack fruits, beans, or even durians also exist

thats one uncle havin a hard time biting sate, thats alone is not a good sign they make a proper sate, a good sate is very tender and easy to eat

funfact, they mentioned empanada several times and yes we also have panada from sulawesi region (correct me if im wrong) its similar to pastel but panada uses bread dough as the base and pastel uses pastry dough. this food is brought to indonesia by spanish colonist (eastern side of indonesia were colonized by portuguese and spaniards back then.)

I just loved how the padres appreciate our food, just because the taste might not suit their preferences but they were open to try it! kudos!!

shout out to the crew for picking the right food! love the variety :)

I like how different cultures associates ingredients differently, for example how the dads associates peanut sauce with peanut butter because that's how it was commonly consumed as a dessert-adjacent food, while in indonesia peanuts and peanut sauce specifically are more often associated to savory dishes. Another cases similar to this in indonesia is how breads are seen almost always in the same regard as cake, or cheese is a primarily dessert or snack ingredients.

My parents always bring me bubur ayam when I was sick, so yeah that comfort food comment really spot on

I love that they are all willing to try and to say positive things about the food even when they don't particularly enjoy it

Why put rice on everything? 😩 In satay we eat that normally with lontong (compressed rice cake, well it is still rice) but for gado-gado only contains vegetables, tempe, tofu, boiled egg, peanut sauce dressing, and sprinkle it with krupuk

he was on point saying the peanut sauce goes well with anything bc we do put them on many other things

Actually pastel is Portuguese food.. Because in the past Portuguese Colonized Indonesia,, so we got pastel that food from Portuguese influence.. That's why it's same like empanada

weve seen everything BUT Cambodian food. yall already know since yall based in SoCal. Go to long beach please and ty, love papas reacts

Great review Papahs 👍❤😊🤗😘

yeah good IDEA tapatio on the bubur ayam. I might try that for myself. sounds good!!!!

I like the way they describes the food

Thankyou for trying indonesia food papahs❤️

In Manado there's one snack that's closer to the original panada and is exactly called that; kue panada, fried bread stuffed with spicy shredded fish.

Men who knows their flavors tasting food of flavor. I feel happy.

Talking about empanada. We have similar cuisine called Panada, the outer skin is bread instead of thin layer of skin. I wonder if it was inspired by Empanada. (edit : definitely European influenced)

Woww.... quite speechless bcs sir... all of you can describe the food pretty well

You should've include avocado juice or iced avocado coffee. Now THAT would be a challenge for them hahaha

Cendol- from Kediri Kingdom in Java year 1200's

Fyi: that's not peanut butter but peanut sauce (different ingredients)

Thank you sir for presenting our Indonesian foods, have a good day

My sister in-law is mexican. Their family just fits right in indonesian cuisine scenery everytime they came to visit us.

That white shirt dad(Tiberio) really have a good taste bud. How did he get that shrimp flavor? Maybe not a lot people know. But most fried rice in Indonesia usually use shrimp paste and onion as the base. Usually the shrimp paste only a half spoon for 100gram of rice, with onion, salt, tomato sauce/chilly sauce/sweet soy sauce in the mix, the shrimp taste basically almost gone.

Culinary-wise, I knew Mexicans and Indonesians would get along

Que bueno, siempre me encantan ver tus videos especialmente sobre Indonesia, amo a mi pais y mi mexico lindo, my hijo nacio en mexico city. Extraño mucho empanadas de camaron y pescado frito que siempre compré en Tianguis en Polanco. Viva Mexico

Indonesian also loves Mexican cuisine

other nice cuisines still rarely reviewed : 1. Lumpia 2. Rawon 3. Soto (there are many variants of them) 4. Opor ayam 5. Bebek goreng madura 6. Mie ayam 7. Siomay 8. Mie goreng jawa 9. Otak-otak ikan tengiri 10. Nasi bakar 11. Gudeg 12. Nasi liwet 13. Bakso

Glad you all enjoyed most of them

Nasi is the national dish of Indonesia and comes in a couple of different varieties. Nasi goreng ayam (with chicken) Nasi goreng kambing (with goat meat) Nasi goreng domba (with mutton) Nasi goreng sapi (with beef) Nasi goreng babi (with pork) Nasi goreng babat gongso (with tripe) Nasi goreng dendeng lemak (with fatty thin beef jerky) Nasi goreng usus (with intestine) Nasi goreng ati ampela (with chicken liver and gizzard) Nasi goreng pete/petai (with green stinky bean)

BEST INDONESIAN FOOD VERY YUMMY 😋❤

They have different opinions but all of them complete the details on each food 💯 And yea, i love the darkened edge on food as well 😁

Man.. try rendang, tongseng, perkedel and many more. Indo food is endless and pact of flavor 👍✨ so proud to be indo

many farmers here in Indonesia, they raise a chicken. we also have our own chicken variety called java chicken, so famous all around the world. so ya, thats why every food have egg & a chicken to it.

the mexican speaking dad really sounded like he own a 4 star Mexican authentic restaurant

Typical Indonesian food is very varied, from sweet, salty and spicy, but all delicious and delicious 😊

I love the commentary

Providing the rissoles with birds eye chilli pepper would be more lore accurate 🤤🤤

Reminds me when i was in utah, my hispanic neighbors love my wife's cooking such as soto ayam, nasi goreng risol, gado2, even rawon

Hi... Would love to see all the dads having a Malaysian food. 1. Nasi lemak 2. Curry mee / laksa 3. Roti canai 4. Char Kuew Tiow 5. Glutinous rice with mango / durian or, 6. Chicken Satey 7. Any Malaysian sweet desserts

for better experience you should've serve gado-gado with rice cake instead of rice, and put more cuko on those pempek.

6:58 When my uncle got back from the states and brought me a bottle of tapatio, I always ate my chicken porridge with it.

For Indonesian, here are some notes: - For the sauce you talk for Chicken Sate or Sate Ayam, it's not peanut butter, it's a peanut sauce made with a mixture of peanut and sweet ketchup. That sate has varieties like Sate Sapi, Sate Kambing, etc. - For Pempek, there should be pempek sauce that is better to have a taste separately. It's kind of spicy, but it's worth it. What you taste is Pempek Kapal Selam.

if they were given more of our dishes with more spices, surely they'd love it!

1:32 no sir, I'm Indonesian but I don't like runny eggs either. I prefer it over well

There is a snack to which called panada. It come from sulawesi, Indonesia. The dough will be same as a bread but the inside is filled with fish.❤

7:08 "Indonesian loves their eggs, huh?" I laugh so hard while eating my Indomie with eggs.

I think mexican would love Sumatran foods, coz it got more spice

FYI : if u make fried rice w dry rice,it's making more deliciously👊😎
