The meat are dry because we have been taught that we need to cook a lot of meat well done long before other cultures influenced us, when you cook it well done level, the fat anything liquid will be dry
Thanks for coming to Jiwon and inspiring our buffet concept in the first place Jimmy. Looking forward to welcoming you back for our new and improved buffet!!
I went to Indonesia in the mid 90s and I still wish I could go back. Mind you when I went it wasn't, as safe I guess you could say. But the people were so nice and kind (minus one cab driver, but you get that in every country lol) and the food was incredible. In fact, a couple of places I went to, wouldn't let me pay for my food and insisted on just giving me the meals for free. And it was some of the best food I had while in the country. Mind you, I don't eat seafood, or certain lamb dishes etc. but these guys just gave me some of the best chicken I've ever had and one of the best bowls of noodles I've ever had. Indonesia is certainly a more modern place now than when I went 30 years ago, and you have so many more options food wise. AND the street food scene, holy crap.
"I could have politely declined it, which might have been the right thing to do... But working for a corporation in the past taught me one thing, and that is: Sometimes it's pretty f**king nice to be selfish and greedy." - I was shocked, awed, and dying laughing from that one, Jimmy!
14:23 That's the thing that I noticed too as an Indonesian It's more like we're afraid of the meat not being cooked enough, so we just wing it and add more minutes cooking it 😂
That's also the case in the Philippines - I guess it's from living in a tropical environment, as it was rather risky (until recently) to serve undercooked land-based meat.
People in indonesia should really try medium rare steaks. I'm Indonesian myself and used to only eat my steaks well done, but once I've tried medium rare I can't never go back
The reason why meat is mostly dry in Indonesia is because alot of the population thinks that meat having juice makes it raw/uncooked. When i was working in a restaurant there was many complaints if the fried chicken was still juicy because people think it hasn't been cooked properly, so we had to fry it till it was overcooked but dry. I think it is just because the population isn't used to itt.
So true thats common in Bangladeshi culture too, any sign of redness on meat equals raw to them. I've been enjoying my medium rare steaks for years now ;)
The galbi jjim looks SOO good and you are right about it being expensive in Korea! Now imagine the price in Singapore sigh! And the ones here prob aren't even as good as the good ones in Korea! The restaurant was so generous!
the reason why indonesian food only exist in 38$ buffet is because we could get that for some cheap price around 1-2$ and as an indonesian myself i wouldnt pay 38$ just for a nasi goreng and other indo stuff 😭😭, btw thanks for coming to indonesia jimmy, hope u hv a great time here
True at most 1$ - 2$ which is roughly 30k Rupiahs is more than enough for us to buy a decent meal at the average store or small street side restaurants. Foreigners would probably question how the 38$ buffet here is priced like that, but to us Indonesians that price is already helluva expensive for the average peeps. So yeah It's cool that Jimmy gave his honest thoughts during the whole video even if some of the food may not look pretty lol
Hi Jimmy. The reason why beef is dry in Indonesia is because the islamic religion forbids meat to have any blood within it. Halal meat is typically quite dry, which is usually fought by using fat, hence why döner has a slab of fat and butter on the top that soaks the meat and makes it tender.
@@jimmykimtv Actualy that's not the real reason, it's just their traditions of cooking meat Islamic ways of slaughter allows all blood to leave the animal's body before cutting it, therefore the meat has no blood, so it is normal for one to eat medium rare and juicy meat as Muslims since it's still halal 😂.
Would be nice if you could've actually gotten an authentic Indonesian food experience 😀. Indonesia is massive with a very diverse culinary heritage. Having an experience in a region would be very different from another. Looking forward for a deep dive into a more genuine Indonesian experience, Jimmy!
Great variety of food & I guess that’s one of the main benefits of buffets, you get to try a wide variety. Also apparently you’re my Spotify 2023 wrap #1 artist that I listened to, Jimmy. 😂
Hi jimmy, when you visit the $38 buffet hotel during weekend, they will serve you infinite amount of german style pork leg, sashimi, endless seafood including crab and lobsters, etc, but the price will be slightly more expensive!
Great video:) Always great job. Your having the best life traveling and eating delicious food:) Wow only $8 for that buffet!! That is amazing price and looks delicious. $4 for dim sum!! Wow! Restaurant looks clean and nice. Wondering since your there maybe do some traveling content too:) I would love to know how to get from airport to your hotel and where you normally stay and other options. Places that travelers must go:)
I’d say why the meat is usually dry because we don’t really have good quality cow that’s sold in the traditional market which make our meat a little tough to chew. Which is why people really make sure that the meat is cooked really well and are usually made into stews and rendang! But we do import meat for steak too
Indonesia - Jakarta is one of prime destination for Korean migrants. Back in late 1990s - they are mostly Korean church missionaries, and they mostly nestled in my neighbourhood of Kelapa Gading - we have so many Korean restaurants and supermarkets, including a very big Lotte mart, Mu Gung Hwa, and Hanyang. Today though, they are all kinds of Koreans, including our very own national team football coach, and all those Hyundai / LG Chem engineers. But the trendiest is definitely in Jalan Senayan, Kebayoran Baru - a lot of Korean shops, including barber shop, and 2 storey Mu Gung Hwa supermarket. We have Ajummas and Ajushis making their own fresh batch of various kimchis as well as made-to-order Yangnyeom or Ganjang gejang or Korean seasoned raw crab. It is quite crazy. Since Korean food is directly introduced in Indonesia by actual Korean, they are largely still very authentic compared to everywhere else nearby, even in more cosmopolitan places like Sydney, Australia and Singapore. Korean cuisine is also relatively very new in Indonesia, there is just not much time to evolve or blend in with local dishes or "fusion", besides local dishes starting to use gochujang sauces.
I'd say a lot of South East Asian countries tend to go for 'well done' with the meat and sometimes a little too well probably because of the irrational fear that uncooked meat will cause bugs to form in your stomach. Of course that's not always the case but considering the tropical climate, it definitely has affected the culture with cooking meat
Wow, a variety of deliciousness…!!! Haha, hopefully you didn’t get sick from the sketch sushi hehehe.. but great prices as well for all of it… really want some dim sum now hehe!!!
One of reason why you can only find Indonesian food in the most expensive buffet is because you can easily find street food stalls that sell better Indonesian food for waaay cheaper. These Indonesian food buffets usually targeting upper class Indonesians who act like they’re too classy to eat street food.
in my opinion, Hotel Kempinski is not the best place if you are looking for the food. They have great hospitality, don't get me wrong, but to be honest their foods are just so so. If you want to try great buffet in a 5-stars hotel restaurant in jakarta area, my suggestion will be at 2 places, "Satoo" at Shangrila Hotel or "Asia Restaurant" at Ritz Carlton Hotel Kuningan. They offer buffet around the same price as Kempinski, but taste much better (at least in my opinion)
I think the reason of why only the most expensive buffet has Indonesian food, is because of accessibility You can find it all the menu in the warung or warteg spread across the city, but for foreigners, they usually pursue "one size fit all" solution Hence why it's a staple menu in the hotel buffet, as it's a meeting point per se
You should come to pasar lama in the night around 5pm to 9pm. They sell very good foods there. I personally recommend serabi royal there. It's pancake with durian sauce that is very good!. And they have a lot of foods there as well, So you should visit!
Theres about every typeof asian food available in Jakarta, from Indian to Chinese to Turkish, you can find almost every type of dish from different cultures.
Hey Jimmy! Just wanted come on here and let you know that life’s been bleh lately and coming in to watch your videos gives me comfort. So thank you for being you and making me laugh! 😊😊
Wow $4.45 for AYCE DIm Sum would be a dream to me. Where I'm at it's $7.25 for just 4 Har Gao. If you take into account a 12% sales tax and 20% tip, just that one dish alone comes out $9.50. Last time I went out for a Dim Sum meal it was about $145 for 4 after tax and tip.
finally. welcome to indonesia, jimmy! hope u enjoy ur stay. and if u have some times please visit gunung bromo (bromo mountain) and go to bukit teletubbies (teletubbies hill). it was burned several months ago but now it's so beautiful. just like windows xp legendary homescreen lol
Oh shit,welcome to Indonesia 😁✌️ Best buffet in Indonesia usually in the hotel. 1. Kempinski hotel Indonesia 2. Shangri-La hotel satoo 3. Hotel mulia ( have steak) And thank God you Went to the number 1 😁,Kempinski buffet is my favourite,i go there many times every year. Too bad you didn't try the soto which is great. Steak usually every Sunday in Kempinski. Saturday is seafood(lobster). Saturday Sunday cost more. Not many Indonesian eat beef medium here,mostly they eat well done. The local beef menu are all well done mostly but some make it soft using flour coating. For grilled meat buffet,there is gyukaku,kintan. For shabu shabu beef there is saburi.
Try weekend brunch/lunch/dinner all you can eat in 5 stars hotel, they have wider variety menus that’s not available in weekday like lobster, oysters, steak, beef Wellington, salmon en croute. It’s more expensive though but worth it especially when you use buy 1 get 1 payment using local bank credit card.
Most Indonesian does not have a refined palate for enjoying high quality meat, Indonesian cooking style actually preferred it to be heavy on the seasonings and spices rather the overall quality of the meat. Most of Indonesia's culture does not have a robust meat eating culture that promotes the development of high quality meats yielded from a selected cow breeds. The less diplomatic answers would be: The current Indonesian cuisine does not have a thing for high quality meat.
Great video! First video of your i randomly found and i can say im pleasantly surprised :) Out of curiosity tho, why did you choose kempinski out of all the other 5* hotels in jakarta?
No, it doesn't matter you are Famous Korean Artist or not, Indonesian peoples just love to take pictures with foreigner, i didn't know why, but consider it as a part of our hospitality 😁
Funny thing that i know someone whose name Jiwon.Dimsum was awesome. So Jiwon restaurant was inspired by you,thats crazy.Your buffet videos are the best on RUclips.I think expensive buffets have better desserts,but cheaper buffets have better tasting food.
Go to intercontinental hotel at sugar and spice Sunday brunch has lobster but I highly recommend the Thursday and Friday night because it’s worth it and tastes amazing
Re: chewy/dry meat, yep this is what people get wrong when they eat Indonesian beef-based traditional recipes like rendang, dendeng, empal, etc. They expect 'good' to be 'soft/tender' but we like chewy meats - because this means flavour, and we don't mind doing a bit of work when we eat. And usually we don't eat beef on its own like in other types of cuisine. E.g. we don't focus everything on one big chunk of meat on the plate. The beef dish is almost always paired with other things that are more 'wet', like sambal or a kind of vegetable curry. The sate that you had also will always be paired with a sauce and pickles. And yes, there is the weather thing, too - since it's so humid, a lot of traditional recipes are all about preservation.
14:00 I think it has a lot to do with the number of Muslims in Indonesia. Indonesia is dominated by almost 90% Muslims, but Indonesia itself is not a Muslim country. One of the 'rules' in Islam is not to consume blood. So, most people/restaurants will cook the meat fully to avoid blood. This is one factor, there could be other factors too. By the way, thank you for visiting Indonesia.
I think the reason why there's not much Indonesian food buffet at on cheaper side is because not only all Indonesians eat Indonesian food daily, but it is also full of carbs and very cheap! So you probably will get full with just 2-3 servings, which is not exactly the point of a buffet. Indonesian's food are mainly dishes that will fit with rice, so if you grab a dish, then you have to get some rice too! Indonesia also has a cultural event every year where we have to gather around with big families. And I think because of that, every family has their own special recipe, so they prefer to have their family prepare their food rather than going to buffet to eat Indonesian food. If you're interested to try more Indonesian food, I recommend street food rather than going to restaurants! Although for foreigner you may have stomachache 🤣 Anyway thank you for the great video!
Don't try hotels buffet in Indonesia. Mostly if not all, are bare minimum served food. There are many great food choices in here, hotels buffet weren't one. Most of the restaurants are way better with lower price. For food picks, i suggest Ayam Lalapan/Geprek, Bakso, Rawon, Soto or just go to a Padang Restaurant if you're a fan of strong-rich-flavourful kind of food, nothing will go wrong with these list. And maybe it'll be great if you can reach out to a youtuber channel name is Korea Reomit, he's a korean who live in indo for maybe 10 years i guess so it'll be an advantage to you to have someone with similar background to discuss about. Good work tho as always Uncle
8$ in US i only can eat once 8$ in Indonesia mate you can eat a whole week with that and it is 10x even better with a much better service, a place that always clean, and a very respectful staff.
You must try all you can eat meat buffet cost around 2 millions rupiah named Jakarta & The Courtyard - The Dharmawangsa. you must try as well Onokabe AYCE costs around 500k
In the Kempinski Buffet, there should be a day where there is a Paulaner section. That section has some fresh carved brisket, german meatloaf, Crispy Pork, German Bratwurst, and also some sides.
bamboo dimsum is my choice when i don't have much money and want to eat a lot 😂😂 next time you visit indonesia, i can show you another dimsum place that's worth to visit
dang you actually in my country xD, been watching your buffet videos for a while and loved it. Tho i know you from valorant videos back then and just found out you already stopped making valo content.
The meat on the satay is grilled long enough until it gets well done kind of quality. We don't usually grill meat for just a while to make it medium or rare meat quality. So that's why sometimes the meat in the stay is not juicy, but that's depends on the cooking style of the satay cook itself. I'll hope you are understand what I mean.
OMG JIMMY COME TO MALAYSIA!!!!!!!! WE'RE LITERALLY NEIGHBOURS WITH INDONESIA! on the other note, great video btw. i havent been to indonesia in my 20 yrs of living but the food looks very delicious. wish i could try the 38 dollars buffet tho even though u said some of the food is kinda underwhelming. keep up the great content jimmy!!
ini di kempinsky kayanya kemahalan sih utk range harga 500rb gk ada steak nya, kebanyakan karbo. kaya di hotel mulia, dengan harga segitu bisa dapat lebih lengkap. but yeah. personal preference only
First half the video, humor was on point. Second half, you kept it real. Keep pushing king!

Indonesia - Jakarta is one of prime destination for Korean migrants.

We have Ajummas and Ajushis making their own fresh batch of various kimchis as well as made-to-order Yangnyeom or Ganjang gejang or Korean seasoned raw crab. It is quite crazy.
Since Korean food is directly introduced in Indonesia by actual Korean, they are largely still very authentic compared to everywhere else nearby, even in more cosmopolitan places like Sydney, Australia and Singapore. Korean cuisine is also relatively very new in Indonesia, there is just not much time to evolve or blend in with local dishes or "fusion", besides local dishes starting to use gochujang sauces.
that explains how lotteria and kyochon opened in indonesia way before the korean wave
By the sheer diversity of it, Indonesia is very much a cosmopolitan and a melting pot on it's own
Jimmyy you should come to Bandung, theres so much amazing traditional street food!! I can take you to some of my favorite place.
You have come a long long way since your twitch days. I am happy for your success and think you will soon be at 500k subs. Fighting!
I'd say a lot of South East Asian countries tend to go for 'well done' with the meat and sometimes a little too well probably because of the irrational fear that uncooked meat will cause bugs to form in your stomach.

I'm new to the channel and this oppa is hilarious 🤣🤣 instantly subscribed!
for $8 approx. 400php even without the extra food that they brought you, as a Filipino that's a steal and a half.
in most muslim countries the meat are usually well cooked to make it safe and halal.
Jimmy you should come to Malaysia. plenty of good food. Cheap and tasty
Love this man! Seeing videos like that makes me want to explore the world
about the meat, i think is because used to eat really cooked meat, so a lot of people in indonesia rarely eat medium or juice meat.
You are so underrated brother, I love the little jokes and keeping it real in food tasting!
Another great video Jimmy! Love seeing you in Southeast Asia 😊😊
you should try hotel mulia buffet in senayan south jakarta
Go to intercontinental hotel at sugar and spice Sunday brunch has lobster but I highly recommend the Thursday and Friday night because it’s worth it and tastes amazing
I love your sense of humour, man. Your Indonesian internet cafe made me instantly subscribe to your channel!
I love your videos man, Keep up the Good Work!!!

I think the reason why there's not much Indonesian food buffet at on cheaper side is because not only all Indonesians eat Indonesian food daily, but it is also full of carbs and very cheap! So you probably will get full with just 2-3 servings, which is not exactly the point of a buffet. Indonesian's food are mainly dishes that will fit with rice, so if you grab a dish, then you have to get some rice too!
Indonesia also has a cultural event every year where we have to gather around with big families. And I think because of that, every family has their own special recipe, so they prefer to have their family prepare their food rather than going to buffet to eat Indonesian food.
If you're interested to try more Indonesian food, I recommend street food rather than going to restaurants! Although for foreigner you may have stomachache 🤣
Anyway thank you for the great video!
1:00 "128 Rupiahs"
Bro really missing that triple-zero 💀
I mean yeah, the government should really remove that 000 at the end because they're useless
oh haha oops
It's easier to just ignore the extra zeros tbh
@@Hhhh22222-w yeah lol, knowing more zeros at the end doesn't make you better at math,
Don't try hotels buffet in Indonesia. Mostly if not all, are bare minimum served food. There are many great food choices in here, hotels buffet weren't one. Most of the restaurants are way better with lower price. For food picks, i suggest Ayam Lalapan/Geprek, Bakso, Rawon, Soto or just go to a Padang Restaurant if you're a fan of strong-rich-flavourful kind of food, nothing will go wrong with these list.
And maybe it'll be great if you can reach out to a youtuber channel name is Korea Reomit, he's a korean who live in indo for maybe 10 years i guess so it'll be an advantage to you to have someone with similar background to discuss about. Good work tho as always Uncle
Yeah, even 5 star hotels serve below average food like can the chefs even cook properly? They got the most bland taste.
Thank you for coming,jimmy 🙏🏻
8$ in US
i only can eat once
8$ in Indonesia
mate you can eat a whole week with that and it is 10x even better with a much better service, a place that always clean, and a very respectful staff.
Jimmy's so FF 😂😂😂 Love his goofy 🤪 humor happy to find some new episodes I haven't seen yet , miss ya Jimmy 😂😂
You must try all you can eat meat buffet cost around 2 millions rupiah named Jakarta & The Courtyard - The Dharmawangsa. you must try as well Onokabe AYCE costs around 500k
The thing about kempinski is you should go on sundays as sundays is when you get the lobsters and sashimi which is really good
In the Kempinski Buffet, there should be a day where there is a Paulaner section. That section has some fresh carved brisket, german meatloaf, Crispy Pork, German Bratwurst, and also some sides.
bamboo dimsum is my choice when i don't have much money and want to eat a lot 😂😂
next time you visit indonesia, i can show you another dimsum place that's worth to visit
Bamboo Dimsum actually the most legend dimsum for a student in Jakarta, grrat taste with a great price
dang you actually in my country xD, been watching your buffet videos for a while and loved it. Tho i know you from valorant videos back then and just found out you already stopped making valo content.
The meat on the satay is grilled long enough until it gets well done kind of quality.
We don't usually grill meat for just a while to make it medium or rare meat quality.
So that's why sometimes the meat in the stay is not juicy, but that's depends on the cooking style of the satay cook itself. I'll hope you are understand what I mean.
eating while watching a jimmy video is the only right way to spend the afternoon
exactlyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy
You should go to an AYCE sushi place in America and judge the sushi there lol Gorilla Sushi in Las Vegas is apparently really good
I love that the owner was a fan of yours and you got food for free,that's so nice and It would be such a shame if you didn't accept it😌😊
OMG JIMMY COME TO MALAYSIA!!!!!!!! WE'RE LITERALLY NEIGHBOURS WITH INDONESIA! on the other note, great video btw. i havent been to indonesia in my 20 yrs of living but the food looks very delicious. wish i could try the 38 dollars buffet tho even though u said some of the food is kinda underwhelming. keep up the great content jimmy!!
You should try Satoo in Shangri-La hotel for 5-star hotel buffet!
Nice video Uncle Jimmy, can't wait for your next indonesia vlog
Waiting for video about your trip in Cebu. Hope you enjoy it here as well 😁
If you aims for the a high-class buffet, I recommended the one at The Westin Jakarta and Satoo Shangrila Jakarta.
Jimmy, Thank you for being so kind to that little boy. You are such a great guy!
For buffet hotel better to go to G Hyatt opposite them or Mulia.. many 5 star hotel with decent buffet..
Which camera and lens are you using for your videos brother?
hope you review more indonesian foods, Jimmy! just realize you're in my top 5 spotify wrapped 🤣 great video as always
It is nice to watch u eatin indonesian food while i am eating indonesian food too, keep up the good work man hope u enjoy the rest of ur trip✌️
hell yeaahh free food for uncle jimmy...thank you for visiting indonesia. but i hope you visit other city in indonesia beside jakarta.
what i learned and im an indonesian myself is that the expensive restaurant a lot of the time sucks. the cheaper one alot of the time really good.
Maybe you must try warung Sunda and warteg they also prasmanan, and will be charge as much as u choose your menu.
와 맛있겠다!! 인도네시에 갈 때 추천할 음식이 있어요?? 😊
ini di kempinsky kayanya kemahalan sih utk range harga 500rb gk ada steak nya, kebanyakan karbo. kaya di hotel mulia, dengan harga segitu bisa dapat lebih lengkap. but yeah. personal preference only
I can't believe that japchae isn't popular in Korea! Everybody in Los Angeles definitely loves it. We're so spoiled with easy access to galbi jim too.
Can't wait for jimmy to come to Singapore
