This is what it really means, don't judge a book by its cover 😂

The kacang ijo (mung bean) soup isn't really considered a "dessert." There are some Indonesian dishes that don't fall into any category, they just... exist. 😂 it's understandable they'd be put off by it if they were expecting something 'traditionally' sweet. ps: no one says "selamat tinggal." For farewells we'll say sampai jumpa lagi (formal) or sampai ketemu lagi (informal)

To be honest, as an Indonesian i won't say Bubur Kacang Hijau as a soup. It is more like a dessert and it is a little bit heavy. There are many better option like Coto Makassar or Soto Betawi.

that kacang hijau is also best served with crushed ice topped with condensed milk, great for summer season.

mung bean porage is like a cereal for breakfast, serve it warm and enjoy it in the morning ...

kacang ijo is considered porridge category in here, not soup. if you want soup dessert street food, try sekoteng. its warm sweet ginger soup dessert with lotsa texture in it. it has diced bread in it, roasted peanuts, pacar cina (something boba sphere but diferent colour and shape), added with little condensed milk

Hallo, I would like to give some information. First, the difference between sop and Soto is how to cook. Sop ingredients are usually cooked with the soup. So it stands to reason that all the SOP stuffing is done together. But, soto, the ingredients used are not cooked together. Certain ingredients of stuffing as cabbage and bean sprouts are often included in raw material. The second difference is the ingredients. Almost every kind of vegetable is prepared with soup. But surely not for soto. Beans, corn, ain't fit for soto. For example like Chicken Soup or Asparagus Soup or like Kimlo Soup. The third difference is the taste. Sop gives a taste that is soft, not strong, and lightweight (Indonesian Chicken Soup, like the way My Mom cooked it. So light dan refreshing). As opposed to soto, the same soup as soto, it hits your tongue with a powerful flavor of spices. From one bowl of gravy, the difference was growing. Also there's one more difference between sop and soto not knowing. Soto's presentation is always accompanied by Fried tempe, and a lot of types of sate (like sate usus or sate kulit). And the presentation of sop is usually customary. For the Kacang Hijau, i don't think it's a dessert since i never (and have never seen any fellow Indonesian) eat that as a dessert. We eat kacang hijau as a breakfast sometimes or just like an evening snack (like i usually do at home on weekends), but never eat that as a dessert. So, I do not think it's right to called those food as "Soup" since it isn't eventhough they share the same like texture (soupy?). But, I do really appreaciate the effort and everything on making this video, also trully happy that you introduce some of our cuisine to your friends. Thank you so much. May this little information can help a bit for all of us (including me) to know more about Indonesian Cuisine. Have a nice day

Makanan Indonesia semua serba ada dan enak-enak karena semua menggunakan bumbu dan rempah2 yg melimpah. Aku cinta indonesia

FYI: For me as an Indonesian, all the foods (on this video) is plain, the foods will be very tasty if u add sweet soy sauce, tomato sauce, lime for the soup and sambal for the non-soup. U knw.. 😱😍 feels different from the others..

Mantap laurance kasih rasa orang luar negeri makanan indonesia karena makanan indonesia is the best

there are still many Indonesian specialties that you must try

Orang asing kususnya orang barat selalu bilang kalo makanannya manis pasti dessert, padahal kita orang Indonesia gk pernah menamakan makanan pembukalah, makann utama lah, makanan penutup lah.. Makan ya makan aja.. 🤣🤣

I'm so appreciate your efforts, visited Indonesia, tried their foods and cooked them by yourself for your buddies. Wow, that's awesome dude. I'm subs!

I think Bubur kacang hijau should be first , it doesn't taste good when you're already full

In Indonesian plating, soup is part of the main course. People generally expect savoury taste and avoid fruity or sweet things for their main course (except people from Central Java perhaps, who love their Jackfruit gudeg). In general, our menu usually consist of cemilan / jajanan (snacks) - usually served as either appertizer or "dessert" or compliment to coffee or tea Then direct with main course - things that can accompany carbs (usually white rice), so you eat soups by using it to flavour the bland white rice hence why Southeast Asian soups are very spicy and tasted strong. Some people drenched the rice or the carbs (e.g., glass vermicelli rice noodle on Soto) or simply splash it over their rice using the spoon. The soup is super customiseable: the garnish that Soto can have are celery, spring onion, fried shallots, or crushed garlic crackers / koya; while Rawon can feature fried shallots and bean sprouts without the sprout. They also have their spices, like their own sambal, sweet soy sauce, extra sauce, and so on. Finally, we have the crackers, either prawn crackers or the white spring onion crackers. This is why we like our soups. Each region has their own soups and even Soto. There are Soto Medan, Soto Padang, Soto Banjar, Soto Betawi, Coto Makassar, Soto Madura, and they are not always featuring chicken (ayam). The ones that you shown there is Lamongan / Ambengan style East Javan Soto. Accompanying the main course are assorted lauk / sayuran, plated servings of dishes meant to accompany your rice just like in Chinese cuisine, featuring at least a variety of meat and a variety of vegetable. In Padang style dining, the assortments of lauk pauk is the main thing. You use the sauces the stews from the assortments like chicken gulai or rendang spices to flavour your rice. You can even have satay as part of the lauk. In short, Indonesian main course are typically "make your own rice plating or bowl" or "do your own donburi with our menu of the day". It is in a way quite similar to Korean banchan. After the main course, the desserts are typically fruits. Since our meal is carbohydrate-heavy, we don't normally serve sweets like cakes as dessert. Now Mung bean soup (kacang hijau) probably can be classified as "snacks". It is probably in the same category of "drinks" when less viscous (e.g., ice kajang hijau), or as a brunch / afternoon snack when it is soup-thick consistency meant to protect your stomach from strong coffee or tea that might accompanies it.

This is so fun to watch! Thank you for your work! Semangat terus yaa ✨✨🙏

hello I'm from Indonesia, thank you for introducing green bean porridge, there are many more unique foods in Indonesia that might make you want to try it and try it again

Buat kolak kacang hijau dengan tambahan pisang kepok rebus. It's perfect😊

Great content n video......keep it up laurence

Bubur kacang ijo depends on how you cook it 😆 For me, the more it looks like porridge, the better (the mungbean doesnt look like mungbean anyomore). I dislike bubur kacang ijo if I could still see the beans. They taste weird 🙈

Bubur kacang hijau itu bagus untuk kesehatan lebih baik dari pada fast food .. women's reaction are too much 🥲

I like the new concept of your video

OMG i live in Indonsia and i LOVE kacang hijau and rawon

you should served "es teh" with Ice, cause es = Ice

makasi Lauren, u undirectly present Indonesian food ke bule2 lain. main ke Medan biar lebih banyak pengalaman nyobain mkanan khas stiap daerah🙂

Thanks bro..for your nice video about our cultural

Bikin lagi dong video begini. Coba gado2, martabak, sop buah dll.

Cobain soto&rawon&Indomie pasti pada suka tuh

Thank for loving Indonesia,sub from Bandung always waching your konten 👍❤️🙏

Im exited with backsounds, you put Gypsy Jazz songs, thats awesome

just want to share a bit of trivia about Rawon. One of the main ingredients is kluwek (that gives that exotic smell, taste and black color). Its made from fermented picung/pangium seed. This seed is highly toxic :D

Ehehe funny reaction..video bagus bro..carry on with other tradisional foods...

In spite of other corrections and or criticism about this video, I am only going to say thank you for making this video!! Awesome!

I do appreciate what you do Gbu

Oh man.. I missed Kacang hijau + ketan hitam + santan so much...

Sangat sopan skali kasih salam....trim"s laurence benson

Great..Keep it up..brother....

I've never eaten kacang hijau with bread before. Might try next time.

Using bread when eating kacang hijau is absolutely unecessary and make it worse tbh. I'm a fan of kacang hijau btw, just without bread.

The south african man lol I love his vibe "I'm African so it's okay" as he continued to drink the tea with bugs LMAO

Thank you Laurence for introducing Indonesian specialties to people btw greetings from Indonesian East Java

The green beans dessert should be the ice 🍨 version

as an indonesian, i don't really like mung bean soup too, compare to other indonesian desserts it is the very bottom of my list. maybe sometimes if you have time, try "putu mayang" and "klepon", they are definately top 5 out of my list. been living in france for years but no desserts here stand above those 2

Wow, I know george from GBFC, never imagined seeing him on this type of video haha

Nice video !! 😄👏

the mung bean soup is one of my favorite soup, I love it since I was a kid

Thank you😍

Goreng jengkol di cabein makan nya sama nasi, itu makanan paling enaaaak

I see this in Ig, and i follow to yt hahah

For saying goodbye at the end of a video, the Bahasa Indonesia translation of goodbye better be "sampai jumpa lagi" or just "bye". As it sounds uncommon to say selamat tinggal even towards Indonesians themselves in real-life conversation. Anyway, nice video u got there!

My favorite soup are bakso soup it's consist of like a few large balls of meat (chicken, cow, pig and yes I do eat pig meat from Indonesia), small cuts of green onions and a few seasoning and the soto soup is my absolute favorite it's just small noodles, small chicken meat, the soups color is yellow because of the seasoning in there, cut cabbage and it goes really well with kerupuk (just a big or small chip)

Hello Laurence! Very interesting show you have here. Btw, have you ever tried Bubur Manado? It's porridge with many kinds of vegetable in it. Not easy to find in Jakarta though. If you leave the fish out and just use bakwan jagung, its a vegetarian meal.

We proud of bro Saluut GBU

Two years from now, its ok if you desire to come find this food again

Wow amazing review😊

Don't ever say "I don't like it" before u try it 😂😂 😂

all their reactions are so funny lmao, god damn i'm really really happy and glad that my country's food were in this video :D

Aku dataaaaaannngggggg laurennnn 😎

Kacang hijau is porridge, sometimes eat it as a breakfast. Espesially when you are sick, really match for upset stomach and taste better if add ginger on it

Saya suka video ini, lanjutkan 🙏

So good!

Sangat menghibuur 👍🏻👍🏻🤗

Thanks for promoting Indonesian culinary :D

I am cooking SOTO Enak banget !!

Indonesia is rich in spices, so the best food in the world, you won't believe you just come here

Tanks !!

It's so good 😱

Mantap bosskuhhh 😂😂👍👍🇮🇩🇮🇩

That's my fellow Chelsea fan George! 💙

Mungkin Mereka Juga suka Martabak Manis dan asin 🤤

Favourite food if you go to Indonesia Yummy 😋😋😋

The soto ayam looks nyumnyum

As for me, I don't really like bubur kacang hijau that much on it's own. For me, it needs bubur sumsum, ketan hitam, and cendil to accompany it. And don't forget the brown sugar and the coconut milk sauce. And I'd go with a good rawon than a soto ayam 😆

mungbean porridge is not category of soup
