those restaurants are belong to the top 1% of the top 1% of all Indonesian. I realised it when the sister of the founder of Gojek himself (which is also a Minister in the Govt) appeared in the video. Then i also realised that i wont be able to afford one plate of the food over there

this is the only time that i've seen CNA posted anything positive about Jakarta and/or Indonesia lol

And i'm here boiling my water to cooked my indomie like no others

I mean there was quite a sum of five star restaurant in Jakarta back on the 90s during the economic bubble (thanks to the Japanese investors)... My family was one of the lucky ones who happens to caught inside the bubble... It was great... I mean 5 star dishes, 1-2 personal waiters for each table, i was just a kid back then but boooi it was memorable... But when the bubble popped (like ... 2x over the last 2 decades), these kinda luxury doesn't fully recover... I've seen some rise and fall within couple of years, some are still standing but without the same spirit... And those who can really afford the luxury, is about 1-5% of the population... So ... Yeah do the math...

Chef Andrea got the point of Indonesian. "Lot of requirements, but very cheap prize" it's realy Indonesian

You should check “parti gastronomi” they are a group of food enthusiast in bandung who research all about “nusantara(local)” gastronomy, they usualy cook for private party or just make some exhibition cook

19:22 Farm to table is an everyday event in rural Indonesia. Most Indonesians are small farmers. Or at least they have something grown in their front yards.

Ooooh this smells strong fancy distilled privilege!!!! I feel so out of touch already just by watching this video :o

This is amazing. I live in Jakarta but never knew any of those.

I thought you're gonna go to like really small nasi goreng stall that has great taste but no one really know

Watching this after watched CNA Hunger in Singapore.

Really good content! Jakarta is picking up to have world class bars and restaurants in a very limited capacity to get import products from overseas - such as spirits, fruits, meat, etc.. but gladly to know, there are some talented people in town with high taste & good quality oriented. Soon will try em' all!

This is a real hidden gem.

I think it's safe to say that most of the merchant/restaurant featured here is very segmented. It's basically labeled at secret or some sort of hidden gems is because most people in Jakarta doesn't know about it, or simply can't afford it. But you're not technically wrong. All in all, great job in discovering these places, at least now I know where I'll 'consider' to eat when the paycheck comes.

Cool.. I've never heard this place.Thanks for reviewing this place.

I'm watching this video while having my dinner which is a nasi goreng from a street vendor. For the people on this video probably my nasi goreng is a rubbish, but for me it is a delicacy.

it'd be a shame if jakarta didnt have any world class restaurants.. he says.. not that more than 1% can afford eating at that place xd

I’d love to apply to one of these restaurants actually 😊 i have been out of the commercial kitchen for a while now but would like to come back to re-shape up

Basically, farm to table is not a new thing for Indonesian in rural/semi rural area. I've visited 2 places mentioned in video but if Mr. Aun Koh wants to emphasize the "secret" diner in Indonesia, he really need to ask the local tho.

Great job.. enjoyed your piece

_LEUNCA IS CRUNCHY OUTSIDE & CREAMY INSIDE!!!_ 👌😁👍

this is more like secrets menu & drinking culture for white collars. so far from the actual jakarta's wild life.

Omg! I’m drooling

My first time knowing CNA can report something good about Indonesia 🤣😂🤣🤣

This is beautiful

this is john wick level kind of secret

What a show. Gak nyangka ini ada di Indonesia.

Watcing this video with a bowl of indomie fried noodle (2 packs) and a sunny side egg on top

Jakarta is amazing city in the world n beyond 🤣

Widiw ada keluarga Mas Menteri.

hidden restaurant, hidden bar and whiskey community, oh boi how more varies it is in Jakarta compared to other city

i dont know all those place, basiclly im not their market, lol

Nice.. but sadly none of this will be added to my "secret" list. Its way too different with "secret" standard of Indonesian people. Hahaha.

Visited 2 out of the 4. I think you missed that one secret pop-up underground dinner. Basically they will travel on one specific part of Indonesia and focus to elevate that cuisine from that area. It is by invitation-only. Think about Noma focus on Indonesian dishes

i've been live in jakarta for 22 years, but I don't know jakarta have really cool bar

Next time you are in Jakarta please let me know...I will take you to best kept secrete place when it comes to steaks.

Was D’classic former location in Lan Nan Thai Thamrin?

Wow I am the 42nd viewer

OoooooooOoOOOo sEcREt

I've tried javanegra and their coffee bean is superb! Been a happy customer for their coffee bean!

Jadi lapar watching this at 1am

D.Classic is my favorite.first for dinner at Face with the best Indian in Jakarta

Where is the restaurant located?

Makarim family

I mean we could have a world class restaurant in jakarta but i think it's quite difficult bcs not everybody would spend amounts of cash for a "fine dining" and how to maintain the customers like the michelin starred restaurants.

Hungry but also kind of sad.

0:47 thats old footage of jakarta, now the pedestrian has been revitalized

They both look alike.

for those of you who never sees this place is exist, cheers we're on the same boat

7:54 I thought this was a prison lmao

Indonesia Whiskey "Research" Society.... emphasize on "Research"... right hehehe.

👌

awesome. i can bring my Hot Wheels and dine there!

the last one's the minister's sister, i think.

food

Leunca bean and suring leaf are food of poor people as like as genjer flower hehehe

CINA SEMUAAAAA!!

19.20-19.40 If you concern about our paddy-. The 1% doesn’t allow an average standard to eat. While me attempting nasi uduk for brunch without thinking about the quality nor the calories😩

Bro i was in jakarta for my whole life and never knew these was existed

bourdain is missed

21:18 pork broth? Makarim?

They said, It'll be ashamed if jakarta didn't have any world class restaurant. Well, I think we wont be ashamed, because we had more wonderful, delicious, and tastier traditional food than those "world class food" which the taste is not so strong for us. 😌 Honestly, I was a little bit dissapointed watch this video, because non of them are traditional food, but only the fusion food with sambal leunca.

Leunca is not a green bean..😒 it is one family with chilli, tomatto..

Let me drink my local red wine that I bought from nearby toko jamu

I think Mr Aun Koh must visit Namaaz Dining for molecular gastronomy experience in Jakarta

Come on,,,i drove almost every fckin day passing that place..i just knew from this video that place call javanegra.. i always wonder what it was

When..you have...enough Capital...to established...high end Restaurant type like this...you may be able to hired ....an expert...to guide you for a start up !! But...when...you are a common ..decent people...you need a decade to build ...the bussiness..type like this .!!... yess..nothing imposible if you consistent and persistence...you will achieve something...for years...of time and effort and money investment..to gaining a popularity in some point !! Some people are..lucky enough...to achieve some goals in a very such a short time...and most people..they just need to be patient and focus on what they are doing...its better to have a slow progress...but you keep on moving forward instead of doing nothing. Every body will achieve something...some day...in their life as long as ...you just keep focus...dont get jelous with some one else success...that...get their succes...in their first attempt...and without...particular ...skill or expert in certain field...they are just happen to be the lucky people !! Just keep focus and no turning back...you will get there !!

Because Indonesian are very humble people which not obsessed of being the best but we always wanted to have good food for everybody we really want to back to the root like Andrea other than being Alien in the Mars

you know, the fact that you are making a videos out of this makes it not so secret anymore. Dont you think?

How oily and spicy their food,but they seems very healthy. Non of them die bcz dangerous diseases.

no way that fish is smokey he didnt use charcoal just used cast iron and then baked it.

this is jakarta undercover LOL

nope.

F

"crops fast and big and cheap not all about the quality" you just tellin' the truth bro.

Lol in the country of 260 million souls, only few hundreds people have the right to taste anything in this video

Wow wait? We didn't do much grilling? R u sure dude? When it's the most ancient ways to cook? U need more vacation to rural area...

i'm sorry, these all not local at all, negeri kami memang sungguh ramah menerima semua jenis makanan yang bukan dari kebiasaan kami.

why subtitle the indonesian chef? i'm certain that any english speaker would perfectly understand him. why not subtitle liverpudlians? and those australian bogans? and black Texans? i watched that leonardo dicaprio climate change documentary, in it he interviewed a lot of people, one if i remembered was a woman with a very strong scottish accent, the other an indonesian speaking overly enunciated english. guess which of the two got subtitled? alls im sayin yo :/

It hurts my eyes to see all these overly proud Indonesian comments, and to rub salt to the wound, they can't even use grammar and punctuations correctly. I'm from the UK, by the way.
