Check out my Nasi Goreng blog post here ► https://migrationology.com/nasi-goreng-mangga-besar/
Mangga Besar is a small area of Jakarta that’s known for its street life and for its bounty of all kinds of street food. My wife and I were staying in the Mangga Besar area, and we headed out onto the street one evening to eat a plate of nasi goreng.
When I was a kid I used to love fried rice. Now, I don’t eat fried rice all that often, but occasionally it does really sound good. You’ll find street food carts selling nasi goreng all over Indonesia and there are many different variations of fried rice that you can order. When I saw the petai (stink beans) hanging from the cart, I knew I immediately needed to order nasi goreng petai, or Indonesian style fried rice with stink beans.
He first added in some oil and a little dab of margarine to the wok, before tossing in a few ingredients. Then in went the rice, and he fried it up expertly along with a few seasoning, including the signature to nasi goreng, kecap manis (sweet soy sauce) to give it the Indonesian fried rice touch. It was a nicely satisfying plate of nasi goreng, and it wouldn’t have been the same without the addition of the stink beans.
Mangga Besar is also one of the most well known areas of Jakarta for durian, and as soon as it becomes evening, an abundance of stalls that sell durian, especially from Medan and Palembang, will set up. Right next to the nasi goreng stall that I ate at, there was a durian stall, and so the natural thing to do was go next door for a durian dessert. We ended up choosing a medium sized Palemnbang durian. When it comes to dessert, nothing can compare a good durian!

So I kept buying a durian, but didn’t know how to cut it or when it was ripe. Recently I found a place that sells durian crepes. So my take on it is… it does have a weird rotten almost smell but bearable. It has a taste and texture of a banana pudding made by an amateur.
👍👍👍👍👍
I thnk your wife told you you were sleeping on the couch after the stinky beans and the durian LOL
Waw..Mark loves durian too..it's one of favourite tropical fruits because of it's unique and special flavour..No wonder that it's expensive..65 k rupiah for 1 😊⚘

I eat durian my whole life since i was a kid. The best durian is the one that you let fall from the trees by it self.
The problem is the durian in the city are often harvested when they are not fully ripen. That make the flavour degrade a lot. But for those who live in the city are oke with that, for those who live in the village are not.
HI MR, YOU MUST TRY DURIAN MEDAN IN INDONESIA, THE TASTE IS UNIQUE HAVE SWEET, BITTER, AND STICKY..
when durians still costs below Rp100k a fruit
