Bandung made a really good first impression 🙏 My previous Jakarta video where we explored the old port ➡️ ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-mts2eserFSg.htmlsi=NUHJzrLGw24HBgrJ
Loving your videos Ken, been watching for some time! We are going to Koh Kood and Koh Chang next month after watching your videos!! We lived in Indonesia for many years and are really enjoying your current series - keep up the good work
01:40 Hi Ken, i think, that you had been to Georgetown / Penang, isn't it? Or also i have seen similar than this in Vietnam. At both places they have a similar version (passenger in front) but with a bicycle at the rear. Do these wonderfull Rickshaws doesn't exist anymore?
15:43 Not only in Indonesia, but mainly in the Muslim countries are more smokers than in Non-Muslim countries. That's what i saw after visiting 140 countries
I love your attitude Ken... You are such an open minded guy, respect and polite with locals. I love how you treat local people you meet, share your bread with people on the streets Bless your heart
0:41 Becak motor, a form of motorized rickshaw in Java, especially in Bandung, serves as a compact and efficient mode of short-distance transportation. 6:10 8:35 Nasi Rendang Padang is a traditional Indonesian dish consisting of fragrant steamed rice served with a flavorful and spicy beef rendang, while vegetables in Nasi Padang often include sayur daun singkong, which is cassava leaves cooked in coconut milk and spices. 19:30 25:17 Alun Alun Bandung is a prominent public square and garden in Bandung, Indonesia, adjacent to the Grand Mosque of Bandung, serving as a central gathering place for the city's residents and visitors 23:55 Gedung Sate Bandung is a Dutch colonial heritage building, now used as the office of the Governor of West Java. 26:25 32:52 Roti Bakar (Toast) Bandung is a popular Indonesian street food consisting of toasted bread slices topped with a wide range of sweet and savory toppings, such as chocolate, cheese, peanuts, strawberry, Nutella, and more, and it can be prepared using either a charcoal fire or a pan.
@@oxoelfoxo Yes, Indonesian people do eat cassava leaves, locally known as "sayur daun singkong." While cassava roots contain cyanogenic glycosides that can be toxic if not properly prepared, the leaves have lower levels of cyanide and can be safely consumed after thorough cooking, which typically involves multiple washes (3-5 times washes) to remove any remaining toxins and a cooking process that takes approximately 20-30 minutes to ensure safety.
@@KenAbroadbentor is abbreviation of BEcak moTOR.. old people says "BEcak moNTOR... becak = pedicab motor/montor = motorcycle so it's mean > pedicab motorized another one non motorized called (Becak) only

Love your video, Ken! the interactions, your curiousity, and you are very generous. If you plan to visit Indonesia in the future, please come to Jogja/Yogyakarta. You'll be amazed & feels like home here.
Your open and friendly vibes are coming back to you through the locals Ken. You are cordial, respectful and trusting, people can feel that and want to share themselves and their country with you. I love to see it, you could give lessons on "How to be accepted and make friends, everywhere you go." I would not have thought about combining those particular ingredients...cheese, chocolate, and peanut sauce but would definitely try it.
Wow, what an amazing bus city tour ! The buses look unique and it's good that there is a tour guide who provides information along the journey. Glad that you try Indonesian rendang and like it 👍👏 A big shout-out to Taufik for his hospitality...treating you to a cup of yummilious coffee and tea. Oh wow, that gentleman at that "roti bakar" stall speaks good English. Good of him to help and recommend the best roti bakar for you. Oh gosh, the toasts are thick, no wonder you are stuffed after a few pieces. Great video again, Ken. Cannot thank you enough for sharing with us this interesting journey. All the best and safe travels always !
Thanks for taking us along for an insightful tour of Bandung.It will be on my bucket list to visit this interesting city in the near future.Yes,the power of your hands is certainly very useful when crossing the busy roads.😂Will be looking forward to more of your food trail.Stay safe Ken.💕🇲🇾
Good evening from Maldives. Dear friend Ken. All your videoes are so interesting for me. I never miss any of your video after I subscribed your channel. Really Very interesting. Keep it up. Mr. Ken. Good luck. 7:17
Central Bandung is for historical building, shopping, and city vibes Southern Bandung is for local vibes and tea plantations at the end Northern Bandung is for nature, hills, mountains, tea plantations, hot springs, and cafes Eastern Bandung is also for experienced local vibes and there's a local football (Persib Bandung) Stadium and the brand-new and the biggest mosque in West Java
Hi, I just discovered your channel a couple of weeks ago. Your vids are very interesting and articulate. I myself am a Brit living in Thailand and have traveled to most countries in the region, you are giving me some fantastic ideas of where to travel when I get the free time. Thank you for posting these adventures!
I think the people react very positive to you because they can see you have a great respect Ken, keep it up bro, i remember since you started in Thailand 3 years ago that you always have a very positive and happy attitude and people react well to that 🙂just for interest sake, what are your accommodation costs while you are in Indonesia
That was more nice then Djarkarta Ken, very impressive and I also would love to try that thick toast with cheese, peanut butter and choccolate. Thks for showing, greets from Till in Phuket
Hai Ken...!!! Long time ago I've been to Bandung (I think around 2009) and it's good to experience different culture... but I love to be in Solo and Jogjakarta more because it's kind of more "nature" vibes... Bandung is kind of "compress" but I love the food... good taste also although different flavour... good experience 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Bandung is the city of mode and one of the culinary center in Indonesia, that's why Bandung get the nickname as Parijs van Java, if there is something new that goes trending in Bandung, it definitely gotta trending throughout Indonesia 😂. Oh and many writers in colonial times said that Bandung and Bumi Pasundan (West Java) was created when God was smiling 😊
You are very nice Ken. Very thoughtful of you about the old man on the rickshaw (motor ride). From your other videos, I see that you are wise beyond your years.
The coloured buses are very unique.. the kids in the coffee shop were so friendly and not at all shy. Seems you are getting a lot of subscribers in the street. Good for you. How much longer are you in Indonesia? Enjoy it all.
Hey you're in the city that i come from! good to see you having a good time with the locals. Obviously the city center that you visited is a nice place to visit but the outer ring of the city as a whole like Lembang,Pangalengan and Ciwidey where the nature is more prevalent,are also some great spots for you to explore. Hope you continued having a pleasant trip there and in indonesia as a whole😄
Watching u tour around Bandung in a fanciful bus is amazing. I would say the colourful buses r nice n is my first time seeing such a bus. The grilled bread over a charcoal fire will definitely taste great. Tq Ken for another awesome upload today. Happy travelling!!!
Really enjoyed this one Ken, love the part where you just vibed with the people waiting for the rain to stop. I once got lost behind the train station there so it was nostalgic to see the area in your video. Probably a sign I should go back! Stay safe and well, looking forward to more soon. Looooots of delicious food in Bandung, I hope you get around to most of them. Sudirman Street is a mustn't miss!
I'm curious, if you're sitting in the front, how do the driver see the road ahead when driving? In fact, almost East Asian countries prohibit smoking in public places, so the smoking population is really very small! The beef Randang looks delicious and it should have a strong taste! The peanut and chocolate toast looks delicious, I’ve never seen such a thick toast sandwich also! Thank you very much for sharing! 👍😄🙏
Keeeen.... please come to Padang West Sumatera to try Original Beef Rendang from its original source 😄😄 the vehicle you had ordered named Becak Motor then people say BETOR to make it short 😅 I really like your vlog, it just going with the flow... you are really humble, friendly and lil bit innocent 😂😂. Hope you always success with your Vlog Ken, and have another oppurtunities to visit another part of Indonesia. Im waitiiiinng..... Ken 🙏🙏🥰🥰
The landscape outside Bandung city center are amazing. You should go to Ciwidey to see Kawah Putih and Tea Plantation, Lembang for volcano and hot spring and also it has some park such as floating market, orchid forest, the lodge of Maribaya etc.
@@tobacco118 in which Province? in West Java there are some famous mountain for hiking or mountaineering : 1. Ciremai 3078 m 2. Pangrango 3019 m 3. Gede 2958 m 4. Cikuray 2821 m 5. Papandayan 2665 m 6. Patuha 2434 7. Salak 2211 etc If you ask about Volcano maybe its Tangkuban Perahu. But before you go better check the price for foreigner. Some youtuber shock and complaint about the price. Bandung surrounded by amazing nature landscape from Tea Plantation , Volcano, waterfall, Crater, Hot Spring etc. Those place rarely visited by foreigner.
The rendang at those Padang food shops is my favourite food - try the corn fritters they serve next time you at one :) Ben from Wales - also the large blocks of fish/tuna at these stalls are also so good
Hi Ken.. Bentor (Rickshaw) used to be a very popular mode of transportation in Indonesia. But they become more rare lately especially in the bigger city and getting replaced by online ride share.
Just a tips. You can bargain about the price for bentor. It isnt a fix rate. Example you already know price with another transportation is 12,000 rupiah. You can bargain the price around that number for the bentor. Ok enjoy your trip. Enjoy Indonesia ❤
Nice to see you coming back for Steve and Ivana wedding in Janda Baik Malaysia last weeks Great friendship 👍.. can't wait to see your vlog during the wedding
Hello Ken and everybody. Have a glorious weekend. It's indeed a great experience trying that motorized rickshaw. Yeah, it's a little faster than the non motorized one....a typical mode of transportation there. Our rickshaw peddlers are only available in touristy places in Penang and Melaka 😄😃
Hujan.. hujan.. means raining.. Less raining in Jawa compare to Malaysia. Malaysia climate monsoon equator, and Jawa climate is monsoon tropika (less raining)..
Hello ken, you must visit jogjakarta. The most culturally and friendly people in Indonesia, you'll definitely impressed, IMO. Don't forget, strolling around "Kota Gede".
Actually “rendang” is originated from Indonesia. Even also “Batik” is also originated from Indonesia. Suggestion to you, you can try the kinds of food in each city of Indonesia by the same name but it has the different ingredients and so it has the different taste. Each area has the different style.
I think the key to great rendang is rrally slow cooking to tenderise everything and have the all the flavours and mature. I dont eat meat but even rendang jamur is amazing!
