We start our day with curry noodles at the institution that is Tabona. We eat the kari bihun or curry vermicelli noodle soup with a mix of both chicken and beef. The coconut based curry soup is rich and spicy, the meat flavoursome and the pickled shallots on the side add a vinegary twang cutting through the richness of the soup. This is a must eat in Medan!
Next up we eat rujak, a popular snack in Indonesia. A fruit salad coated in a thick sweet and spicy sauce made from pounding shrimp paste, young banana, chillies and palm sugar the resulting dish is full of texture and contrasting flavours.
Next on the list is ikan bakar or grilled seafood. We head to a popular local spot to eat gurame a freshwater fish smothered in a spice paste, mackerel, rice and urap a coconut and vegetable salad. The fish is grilled over charcoal right on the road and the eatery is simple but filled with people enjoying a seafood lunch. The gurame is perfectly cooked- the flesh tender and sweet. Perfection!
We finish our day of food hunting at one of the oldest restaurants in Indonesia- Tip Top. A bakery/cafe/restaurant/ice cream parlour, Tip Top has been around since 1934. The eatery is nostalgic and kitschy as is the menu. We eat their famous ice cream sandwich the Moorkop and the Pukler- a slice of Neapolitan ice cream. We’re suckers for restaurants with a bit of history. A great ending to a brilliant day of eating in Medan, Indonesia!
Where we ate:
Kari bihun at Tabona, Jalan Mangkubumi No.17, A U R, Medan Maimun, Kota Medan. Open daily 6:30am to 4:30pm
Rujak at Rujak Padang Takana Juo, Jl. Mahkamah, Mesjid, Medan Kota, Kota Medan. Open daily from 11:30am.
Ikan bakar at Ikan Bakar Halimah, Petisah Tengah, Medan Petisah, Kota Medan. Open daily 8:00am to 6:00pm
Ice cream at Tip Top, Jl. Jend. Ahmad Yani No. 92 A-B, Kesawan, West Medan, Kesawan, Medan Bar., Kota Medan. Open daily 8:00am to 10:30pm

Hey guys. Great to see you arriving in Indonesia. Medan looks so vibrant. As always fascinating to see the cooking process, great shots. The Rujak was so interesting to see and so kind that they made some sauce up just for you - never seen anything like this before. As you know we do not eat fish but can definitely appreciate the look of a good dish and the fish looked so succulent, great to see you enjoy it so much. Old school ice cream sandwich - yummy!!!! - and like you say you just don't see stuff like that anymore 🙂
Hi guys, Medan had such a rich food culture- we loved exploring it! So glad you enjoyed this one guys- it really was a great day of eating- really varied food and types of establishments- Tip Top had such an old school charming feel about it. It was awesome! Thanks for watching and commenting on this one 😄 Cheers, Sheena

You'll eat so well when you're there mate!! 😄
An appetizing and enjoyable food tour, although, foods showcased were common Indonesian foods but your presentation has added color to the food taste.
Hi Khawaja Ramzee, so glad you enjoyed this one! We love to show spots that do the best versions of the local food so we were really happy to find the rujak stall in particular- where we could show our audience the whole process of making what is like you say a very common Indonesian dish. Hope you enjoy the rest of our Indonesia series. Thanks for watching and commenting. Cheers, Sheena
Thanks for visiting my hometown, Medan.. Hope you guys enjoy the journey.. And you guys makes me feel homesick now!
We LOVED your hometown schattenjager19! We felt so welcome in Medan and can't wait to return. Hope you enjoyed the Medan series- sorry to make you homesick though! 😆 Thanks for watching and commenting on this one. Cheers, Sheena
I really enjoyed this. The fish looked fantastic and the Tip Top Restaurant is a place that is right up my alley.
I loved it too Brenda Benoît Dudley- it had such a charming old world feel about it. I'm a sucker for nostalgic places like this which celebrate the food history of a certain era. That fish was AMAZING! Very fresh and cooked perfectly. Thanks for watching and commenting and we're so glad you enjoyed this one. Cheers, Sheena
Welcome to Medan. I'm really honor you come to my city. Enjoy your travelling..
Terima kasih muhammad habieb! We LOVED Medan so much- the food scene is brilliant and the locals we met were amazing- so welcoming and hospitable. We had the best time food hunting. Hope you enjoy the other Medan/Indonesia content we have coming up mate. Thanks for watching and commenting! Cheers, Sheena
@@ChasingaPlate Medan has a lot of delicious food. Maybe you can go to "Kampung Madras" to try some India food or "Pagaruyung" as the favorite place to find local food. And you must try "Mie Aceh Titi Bobrok" as another choice.
There is just SO MUCH amazing food muhammad habieb! Thanks so much for those tips- popping them on our list for our next visit! 😍
I felt the brain freeze Thomas. 😆 Food is sometimes more about where you eat than what you eat. I love places like Tip Top, they create and celebrate food memories💕 I make rujak, but now I want one of those big grinding stones in the middle of my kitchen. I have a weekness for noodles and the bihun is right up my street... all those slippery noodles in lush coconut broth -swoon. And that bbq fish looked amazing. I always look forward to your videos.
Totally agree Jennifer! I am a sucker for places like Tip Top- that sense of nostalgia and the celebration of the food culture of a certain era draws me like a bee to a honeypot. We loved finding some of these spots in Indonesia- they were super unique. You make rujak?! I am totally going to give it a go when we're back in NZ in a few weeks time and have access to a kitchen! Thanks for watching and commenting- so glad you are enjoying our content 😍😘 Cheers, Sheena
Chasing a Plate - Thomas & Sheena Hey Sheena, when you get around to making your rujak , make sure you chuck some fried tofu puffs in there as well. They are my favourite bits. I’ve been known to give people the “don’t argue” to get them. 😆o
😆😆😆😆😆
Will definitely add them! Thank you for the tip!!
To-date, I hadn't seen Medan on anyone's list! So i was so surprised to see you're in Medan!! Gr8 job guys! Luv the food there, the ppl r so so nice. We had a short vaca there ages ago, n always hv fond memories of it. 💓💓💓💓💓
We are both so glad we decided to visit Salmah Dougherty- we loved the food and the people so much! Hope you enjoyed this video mate- I'm still thinking about that kari bihun and rujak!! Thanks for watching and commenting! Cheers, Sheena 😄😄😄
@@ChasingaPlate bihun n rojak - DELISH! I planned to make some later! Gotta go get some petis...YOU GUYS ROCK!!
😍😍😝😝😝😝 send some our way Salmah Dougherty 😂 Enjoy mate!!
Terima kasih sudah berkunjung ke Medan. Hope u can explore more cities in Indonesia. Enjoy your food trip in Indonesia.
Terima kasih for having us Ira A P! We LOVED our time in Medan- the food scene was brilliant. Hope you enjoy the Java content we have coming up.Thanks for watching and for taking the time to say hi! Cheers, Sheena
Glad that you enjoy Medan’s food. So proud to call Medan my hometown and yes, the curry noodles is popular. :)
You are so lucky to have all that wonderful food on your doorstep Nicky! We loved our time in Medan- we met the most beautiful hospitable people and loved the food culture so much! Hope you enjoy our other Medan video, thanks for watching and commenting. Cheers, Sheena
Wow, very friendly local 😍 nice content and place
We were blown away by the hospitality of the locals heimshansberg du nord! We really loved our time in Medan and the food scene was awesome to explore. Thanks for watching and commenting and we hope you like the rest of the Indonesia series. Cheers, Sheena
Epic! It's rare to find this Traditional Homemade Rojak Buah Recipe in Malaysia.. But both of u found it in Indonesia! Wow! I would like to be there aswell
It was awesome to see all the action TheOne Patriot! I had no idea that young banana was one of the key ingredients! 😍 So glad you enjoyed this video mate. Cheers, Sheena
@@ChasingaPlate yeah, i enjoy it with my wife! Those ingredients was traditional.. Homemade. No wonder the taste really good. 😊 cheers sheena and thomas
Hi Thomas and Sheena. Thanks for taking me to your mouth watering food tour, it make me want to go back home just to eat . Especially Gourami, the Sambal and Rojak. Indonesia Rojak used different ingredients, so taste different from Malaysia and Brunei . well done.
Hi Jacinta, thanks so much for watching! We loved getting to eat Indonesian Rujak- and like you say it tastes completely different to others we've tasted. I had no idea that young banana was such a prominent ingredient! Oh gosh that gourami was next level- the cooking was perfect- it was so tender and moist. I am still thinking about it! Hope you enjoy the rest of the series Jacinta! Cheers, Sheena
Really? What's like Rojak in malaysia and brunei?
Can u tell me what are the ingredients over there?
I got interested..
Gesi Lenziany the rujak buah will have a very dark, thick, shrimp paste and sweet sauce on it and the mamak rojak has a peanut based sauce on it with tofu puffs, dough fritters, egg and the vegetables are usually grated- things like cucumber 😄 super different!
Hi Thomas and Sheena, great to see your jetsetting video from Japan to Medan. Unlike some other Western travellers you are both respectful of the culture and always open minded to the food and fruits. There are similar travellers such as this couple of travellers, who commit the cardinal sin of putting their chopsticks up their nose and to me that is the pit of bad taste beside the danger posed. It is very disrespectful and when I invite my Aussie friends and if they end up doing that, it will be the last time I will be seen with them. The other disparaging remark was that how can the people eat durian as it is the worst thing one can eat. Like the saying goes, "one man's meat is another man's poison." Whilst you can dislike the durian for its odour, it just taste like custard if you are not familiar with it. But it is known as the king of fruits in the whole Asian region without earning the moniker for no reason. I LOVE IT AND IT IS A TRULY REMARKABLE FRUIT. As they say, the more people dislike it the better for me as it will not drive up the prices. The other tip or advice is why don't you incorporate a bit of a travel into historical sites and places to visit into your food blog. It will add a new dimension into your video. It seems such a waste to enjoy the food without a bit of context in the video.
Hi Hang Tuah, thanks for watching and we're glad you enjoyed this video! Chopsticks up their nose?! You've got to wonder about the ignorance of some people don't you? Usually travel broadens the mind but unfortunately in some instances ignorance prevails! Ha but you're so right, the fewer people who like durian the better for the rest of us who love it!! We're both huge fans of durian- there's nothing better than sitting on the side of the road in SE Asia cracking into a kampung durian- such a treat! Thanks for your feedback re the videos- we're starting to incorporate a little bit more of the cities we visit but the focus will always be on the food as we see these more as food videos rather than vlogs. We were hoping to do more vlog style videos over on our second channel and in time that will come (there's only one video on there at the moment 😆) we've just been travelling and filming hardcore for the main channel over the past few months but stay tuned! Thanks for taking the time to comment mate! Cheers, Sheena
Popular local food and snacks in Medan are actually a mixture of a lot of Peranakan Chinese, Arabic, Indian and a little bit of European influence as this city has been home to multiracial communities especially settlers from all over Asia for centuries. The only original indigenous food that hasn't got any foreign influence here is Batak food.
It's a great city for food isn't it. We loved our time filming and eating there. Thanks very much for watching this one. Cheers, Thomas 😀
and i'm watching this video at the half day of my fasting.. you made me cry guys...
Thanks so much for watching mate. Ramadan Mubarak. Cheers, Thomas 😀
Another great video. Oh wow that fish looked absolutely amazing sooooo delicious and so chunky. Mackerel is very popular in Cork with young and old out fishing in mackerel season. Tends to be served quite plainly here but looks unreal covered in spices.And dont get me started on that gorgeous dessert and the slice of ice cream brought back childhood memories complete with brain freeze like Thomas lol. Look forward to next video guys.
Hi Elaine, thanks for watching and commenting mate! We are huge fans of mackerel- it's such an underrated fish where we come from but we have loved it ever since we started eating it in SE Asia. Do you guys usually just grill it and what do you eat it with? The dessert spot was stuck in a total time-warp- we loved it- I'm such a sucker for old school places like that! So glad you enjoyed the first of our Indonesia series mate! Cheers, Sheena
Chasing a Plate - Thomas & Sheena we tend to fry or grill the mackerel and eat it with new season potatoes and lemon.
🤤🤤🤤🤤 sounds brilliant!!! 😍
hi sheena mackerel here when caught is usually filleted and grilled with salt and pepper and served with lots of new season potatoes lemon and fresh veg or chips with vinegar lol. Smoked mackerel is very popular too peppered or with lemon and lots of dill. Either way its a great fish.
I LOVE smoked fish! Oh man my mouth is watering reading your comment 😋
Ikan Bakar Halimah is my favourite one...gurame the best menu they ever had, nice review👍👍
Omg we couldn’t get over how perfectly the gurame was cooked! We are so glad we ate at Ikan Bakar Halimah 😍 Medan has such a great food culture- we loved it! Hope you enjoyed this video mate- thanks for watching and we hope you like the other Medan and Java content we have coming up! Cheers, Sheena 😄😄😄

Me too PacificOcean17! It's one of our favourite ways to prepare foods- Thomas is a master on the grill- we both really miss cooking 😝This fish was insane- grilled to perfection- it was so moist and tender! Hope you enjoyed this video, thanks for watching and commenting. Cheers, Sheena
Hi guys 👋🏼 I’ve been waiting for your upload, the food there looks sensational, I love how they grind that chilli sauce and added all the fresh fruit and veggies in the second meal you had. Omg the dessert looks to die for 😍 I would indulge in that without feeling guilty lol.
Hi FitAngie, thanks for watching and we hope you enjoyed this one! OMG that rojak was insane- the sauce had so much flavour and the fruit was out of this world- super fresh and juicy. I really miss the tropical fruit when we're not in that part of the world. The dessert was great too- I loved the old school atmosphere of the restaurant so much- I'm such a sucker for places like that! Hope you're having a great weekend mate. Cheers, Sheena
Well sorry to be a bit doubtful on the process it is being made. Your stomach OK after eating it?
FitAngie why are u always in food travel video...
Ishak Adriansyah because i don’t have the luxury to travel and I’m a foodie. I enjoy watching what is available in other countries

Indonesian loves their ground nuts, and chillies. Ubiquitous. It's like their umami of flavours. Most of the Indonesian foods are of unpretentious types with the usage of whatever ingredients available locally. So their foods are pure, cheap and still yummy for any Chasing platers. They loves sweetness. They are made of sweet tooth.
They DO love their sweets don't they?! We noticed when we drank some of the local drinks- sugar overload! We loved the food in Indonesia- it was all so varied and we felt like we barely scratched the surface. We definitely need to get back for more food hunting!
@@ChasingaPlate you're right there lol, indonesia consits of more than 300 ethnics and every ethnics have their own food and different ways of cooking, so yeah you only scratch the surface there lol, I'm glad you enjoyed your food adventure here in indonesia, we welcome both of you, thomas and sheena, greetings from jakarta
bart lim Terima kasih mate 😄 we can’t wait to return to continue our food hunting in Indonesia 😍 We miss the food!!

Few Medanese specialties: Medanese Soto (Tumeric Coconut Stew), Lontong Sayur (we Chinese eat it for first day of lunar new year), Bataknese Ikan Arsik and Pork Saksang with Andaliman sauce, Popiah, and if you go to Selat Panjang (Chinese food street), don't forget to buy the Wife's Cake (Lo Pho Pia). Ours are very unique and cannot be found anywhere else, it's the one thing I always asked mum to bring from home!
Awesome bernard Lokman!! Thanks so much for those recommendations 😄 There are so many things we still have to eat- we did sample BPK which we filmed for an upcoming video and we loved it!

Hope you guys planning a trip to Lake Toba. The Aboriginal food there is mind blowing. Make sue you stay at Mas Cottage but do call them in advance. Their home cooked food is really awesome.
Cheers Spencer
😆😆😆😆😆 we'll have to pop it on the list for our next visit Spencer! Thanks for that amazing recommendation- home cooked food gives you such an insight into the local food culture- would love to get to Mas Cottage one day soon. Hope you enjoyed this video, thanks for watching and we hope you like the rest of our Indonesia content! Cheers, Sheena
Chasing a Plate - Thomas & Sheena Guess you guys are chasing after Best Food Review. Last video I saw they were in Jakarta. I love indo food, what I try Nasi Pandang, ikan bakar, lontong etc. Bali will be the roast pig.
We're a bit behind in our videos- our Indonesia series was filmed a couple of months ago now 😆 We're the same- omg my mouth is watering reading your list of dishes 😍 It's been way too long since we ate babi guling- hope we can get back to Bali soon! Hope you're having a great weekend Spencer! Cheers, Sheena

Terima kasih scrlt wtch 😄🤗😄 we LOVED our time in Medan- the food scene is awesome and the locals were so friendly! We can’t wait to return! Thanks for watching and we hope you enjoy our Java series we have coming up! Cheers, Sheena
Yummy desserts ❤❤
It was very unique Charuni Jayasena 😄😄😄😄😄 We loved the nostalgic feel of Tip Top! Hope you enjoyed this video and like the rest of our Indonesia series we have coming up. Thanks for watching and commenting. Cheers, Sheena
Enak ,, sedap ,, delicius ,, oisi ..
Well said viviane shesha 😄😄😄😄😄 Thanks for watching this one- we hope you enjoyed it and like our other Indonesia content! We had an awesome time food hunting there! Cheers, Sheena
You guys are amazing, I'm an Indonesian and I would turn up my nose at how they prepare the rujak. And I'm sorry about that guy who corrected your "Selamat Siang" to "Selamat Sore" that's so embarrassing to watch. Hope you guys had a good time in Medan. I've only been there twice but I really like their food.
Hi mate, thanks so much for watching and for your lovely comment! 😆 I didn’t mind being corrected- it was 3pm so I did have it wrong 😝 Everything we ate in their video was amazing- we loved Medan’s food scene so much! And getting to watch the whole rujak making process was epic- it was honestly the best rujak I’ve ever eaten 🤤 Hope you enjoy the rest of the Indonesia series, thanks for taking the time to say hi! 😄 Cheers, Sheena
@@ChasingaPlate thank YOU for taking the time to reply to my comment. You guys seem to be very genuine and down to earth. And by the look of it, you know your languages, too. I notice that you are aware that it's more natural for us to say "siang", "sore", and "enak" although we do use "tengah hari", "petang", and "sedap" as well 👍 I'm from South Borneo, hope to show you around someday!
It was so cool seeing the variances in the language between Malaysia and Indonesia! Thanks for your kind words! Oh wow- South Borneo- we would love to visit one day soon- thanks for the generous invitation- we'd love that- locals know best! Have a great week Ari Vanuaranu! Cheers, Sheena
@@ChasingaPlate thank you! The same goes to you! 😊
Obviously, you need to go to West Sumatra as well...to taste the original Padang cuisine
Hi Indahnya Indonesia, hope you enjoyed this video, thanks for watching. We ran out of time to get to Padang on this trip 😭 but we did make sure to eat a lot of it when we were in Medan. Hope we can get there soon. We loved our time food hunting in Indonesia. Hope you enjoy our Java content we have coming up! Cheers, Sheena
waaaaa~h tip top~ that bring soooooo many memories~ it's been years since i last go there
Hi Bobby hardianto sadono! Isn't Tip Top brilliant! We loved it there so ending up making a few visits during our time in Medan. Perfect for a cold treat in the heat! Are you from Medan? We loved our time there so much. The food was amazing! Thanks for watching this one! Cheers, Thomas 😀
@@ChasingaPlate yeah, it's briliant. i really love the ice cream taste...well since it's the taste of my childhood hahaha~, the taste is quiet diffrent from today ice cream, since its kinda old school ice cream. And no i'm from jogja, tip top used to be every where in the 80's and 90's when i was a kid. and i used to moving around from 1 town to the other back then~. and love your video~ cheers~~
Love hearing food memories like this, thanks for sharing Bobby hardianto sadono 😄
Love the video! The noodles and the rujak (sp?) were so mouth watering. I like how they used fresh fruit as I typically prefer fresh.
Yay- we're so glad! Thanks for watching bandknight 😄 Those dishes were AMAZING. I loved watching the making of the rujak and would never have thought that young banana was a base ingredient to the sauce. The fruit was out of this world- super juicy and fresh. Thanks for taking the time to comment mate. Cheers, Sheena
Love the Ikan Bakar. I love it with sambal & daun kemangi (a type of lemon basil) . If you can, try getting to Banyuwangi in East Java. The food there is famous.
Hi Ed Straker, thanks so much for watching and commenting. The ikan bakar we ate in this video was sensational, some of the best we've ever had. The gourame was so moist- perfectly cooked! Thanks so much for the recommendation to visit Banyuwangi! Definitely going to put it on the list for next time! Hope you enjoy the rest of our Indonesia series! Cheers, Sheena
All kind of food is amazing in Medan😍😊. Btw, I can’t say no to Rujak Buah even in high level spiciness 😂😜😜
😆😆😆😆😆 I can see why Corinne- the rujak buah is insanely delicious! There is so much amazing food in Medan- we miss food hunting there so much! Thanks for watching and we hope you enjoy our other Medan and Java videos we have coming up! Cheers, Sheena
Love your today's food funding videos in Indonesia, you two! 😉
Yay! So glad Jade- it was such a delicious day and the people in Medan were amazing- we loved our time there! Thanks for watching and commenting mate. Cheers, Sheena
Everything looks yummy😋
It was Zinnea Zoey! There is some amazing local food to be found in Medan- we loved it there! Hope you enjoy our other Indonesia videos, thanks for watching and commenting. Cheers, Sheena
I love you zoey
U looking beautiful
Hi
GOOD
Thanks for watching mate! It was such a memorable day of eating. Thanks for watching and commenting. Cheers, Sheena
Nice video! Obviously there are many stories that could be told about various foods, or their names. Few people seem to realize how racist it is to name an ice cream that looks like that a "moorkop"
Hi Tatiana K.-P, thanks for watching and we are so glad you brought this up. Until you did, we didn't even realise, I guess because we didn't stop to translate and think about the translation. We're horrified and it is indeed offensive and racist. I looked up a recent news article from the Netherlands which talked about a a high street bakery changing the name of this sweet treat to chocoladebol. It should be something that is adopted across the board. Thanks for taking the time to comment. Cheers, Sheena
@@ChasingaPlate You guys are great. Cheers
Wow rujak buah nya bikin ngiler 😍😍 looks so good and yummy 🤤🤤🤤🤤
It was SOOOOOOOOO enak M3y_ Lee! We loved getting to watch the rujak getting made from start to finish! Hope you enjoy the other Medan and Java videos we have coming up on the channel! Thanks for watching and commenting. Cheers, Sheena
The torture of watching this Rojak sauce being made. I was only saying the other day watching your Malaysian series, l would kill for an authentic Rojak find in Melbourne!!Love to hate you. 💕
😆😆😆😆 we think about this rojak so often. It’s the best rojak I’ve ever tasted. That sauce was so intense and so full of flavour. I was mesmerised watching this being made. Thanks for watching and commenting on this one Brilliant But Blue! Hope you enjoyed it. Cheers, Sheena
Hai.. Love Indonesia food.. Delicious hot spicy.. Yummy.. 💗👍👌

Hi Winarsih Wiwin, thanks so much for watching! I can see why you always have rujak when you go home- it's sooooo tasty. We loved food hunting in Medan. Hope you enjoy our Java content- too we filmed in Jogja, Solo and Jakarta and had an awesome time and ate so well! Cheers, Sheena

Any recommendations which hotels to stay in Medan?
Hi! We stayed at a basic but really nice and clean place called Kanasha Hotel. If you just want something simple then we'd recommend it. Really nice staff also! Thanks for watching this one and enjoy Medan if you're planning a trip! Cheers, Thomas 😀
Yums! 🤤🤤🤤😋😋😋👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
So many yums Su-Ling! We loved our time in Medan so much- the food scene is awesome and the locals were incredibly kind. Hope you enjoy the rest of the series mate. Thanks for watching and commenting! Cheers, Sheena

I always enjoy your food videos from Day One I subscribed to your RUclips channel, Sheena and Thomas. How can I forget Thomas was raving about how delicious the Ramly burgers are. It was the first video I saw about the both of you and I subscribe to your channel straight away. Talk about 'love at first sight'! 😉🙃🙃🙃❤❤❤
😝😝😝😝😝😝 that Ramly Burger video feels like so long ago! Mmmmmm could totally eat one right now!!! We really appreciate your continued support mate!! Terima kasih!! 😍😍😍😍😍

Hi Anna Andri Noya, hope you had a snack on hand! Thanks for watching this one- we loved the food in Medan and the locals were so friendly. We can't wait to return for more food hunting and filming. Thanks for watching and commenting. Cheers, Sheena
i thought Tip Top ice cream originated in New Zealand, but looking at wikipedia the one in Indonesia started first
Hi STAUNCH NZ, such a coincidence with the name right?! We're happy to be back in NZ and feasting on orange choc chip before we take off again in a couple of months time. Hope you enjoyed this video- Medan was an awesome place- great food and such friendly people. Thanks for watching and commenting! Cheers, Sheena
@@ChasingaPlate keep up the great videos🤙🤙
Thanks! 😀
Hi guys how are you doing? I so happy to see the video thank for the update I really enjoyed the food so much I really want to eat my mom always cook that food for me thanks love you guys ❤️🙏
Hi Chiva Heng, we're great thanks! Hope you're having a lovely weekend! So glad you enjoyed this video- the food in Medan was awesome! Hahahaha I wouldn't mind some home cooking either 😝 Thanks for watching and commenting, big love back! Cheers, Sheena
yuum peanut butter with banana on toast
BRILLIANT combo right debin sabu?! Hope you enjoyed this video mate- we loved Medan- the food scene and the people were both amazing. Thanks for watching and commenting! Cheers, Sheena
Yes it is. I havent still tried Indonesian food. The sabal looks good
I don't think we ever ate it in NZ 🤔 I wonder if there are some spots in which to try it now in Auckland.... OMG that fish was EPIC!! Hope you've had a great weekend mate. Cheers, Sheena
At the Tip Top, what kind of meal menu did they offer?
It was as retro as the dessert menu SaRaH Kruch- they had things like "American steak" which was steak on a hotplate with fries, boiled vegetables and topped with a fried egg and slice of spam. And also Indonesian and Chinese-Indonesian dishes. I even saw bitteballen- a hangover from the Dutch days! It was fascinating! Cheers, Sheena
Chasing a Plate - Thomas & Sheena ......Spam? Really? In a fancy restaurant like that? I’d expect Spam to show up on the menu in Hawaii but not in Indonesia ! I wonder how they were exposed to it!
Actually now that I think about it, it was probably a slice of beef Spam as they wouldn't have the usual pork Spam as the restaurant was halal- is that a thing? Or maybe it was beef bacon? I was just going by the retro photo in the menu. The Chinese eat a bit of Spam so I wonder if the Chinese community in Medan is where it's come from... I have no idea! 😆
Chasing a Plate - Thomas & Sheena ....I know there is Bacon, Turkey ,and pork Spam in the U.S , not sure about a beef version. We use Spam for the boys when they go camping. Food fascinates me I was just curious.
Me too SaRaH Kruch! I have a bit of a soft spot for Spam. My grandma would occasionally fry up a few slices and we'd have it with white rice, a fried egg and soy sauce 😋 It would be perfect for camping! Totally going to remember that one!
MoorKop is a Dutch pastry.
Yes, we talked all about it in the video. Love seeing that history in the food culture. Cheers, Sheena
Where are you guys come from?
Hi Yanthie Muhardini, we're from New Zealand 😄🇳🇿 Thanks for watching this one- we loved our time food hunting in Indonesia! Hope you like the other videos we have coming in the series! Cheers, Sheena
