Would you like to inspect the original subtitles? These are the user uploaded subtitles that are being translated:
1
00:00:08,943 --> 00:00:14,780
(Shouting, cheering).
2
00:00:15,616 --> 00:00:18,183
Gordon: Oh my goodness me.
Look at this.
3
00:00:18,219 --> 00:00:21,620
Oh my god, are you crazy?
This is insane.
4
00:00:24,792 --> 00:00:27,459
Can't quite believe I'm
doing this, honestly.
5
00:00:48,416 --> 00:00:52,451
I've made my way to
the largest country
in south east Asia.
6
00:00:52,486 --> 00:00:55,087
Incredible Indonesia.
7
00:00:55,122 --> 00:00:57,656
Home to stunning beaches,
epic volcanoes,
8
00:00:57,691 --> 00:01:01,026
vast mountains and
dense rain forests.
9
00:01:01,062 --> 00:01:05,164
This archipelago is made up
of more than 17,000 islands,
10
00:01:05,199 --> 00:01:08,367
the second largest
of which is sumatra.
11
00:01:09,904 --> 00:01:13,038
Now, to begin my journey
through Indonesia's
cuisine and culture,
12
00:01:13,074 --> 00:01:16,375
I've made my way to
western sumatra, where,
would you believe,
13
00:01:16,410 --> 00:01:19,511
I've been summoned to
the royal palace to meet
14
00:01:19,547 --> 00:01:23,282
a master of Indonesian
cuisine, which many
say hold some of the
15
00:01:23,317 --> 00:01:26,485
most diverse flavors
anywhere in the world.
16
00:01:27,321 --> 00:01:30,656
♪ ♪
17
00:01:30,691 --> 00:01:35,527
I've arrived in the midst of a
sumatran celebration honoring
the regions diverse cuisine.
18
00:01:36,163 --> 00:01:40,699
And while I feel like a
underdressed party crasher,
I swear I've been invited.
19
00:01:40,734 --> 00:01:42,935
If only I can find
the party's host.
20
00:01:42,970 --> 00:01:45,204
Good morning. I'm looking
for William wongso.
21
00:01:45,239 --> 00:01:46,638
Back?
22
00:01:46,674 --> 00:01:47,840
Morning gents.
How are you?
23
00:01:47,875 --> 00:01:48,874
I'm looking for
William wongso.
24
00:01:48,909 --> 00:01:50,008
Official: I don't
know where is he.
25
00:01:50,044 --> 00:01:51,376
Gordon: You don't?
Official: Yeah.
26
00:01:51,412 --> 00:01:52,978
Gordon: Where on
earth would he be?
27
00:01:53,013 --> 00:01:54,713
William: Gordon.
Gordon: Oh my goodness.
28
00:01:54,748 --> 00:01:55,948
William: Welcome.
Gordon: Thank you.
29
00:01:55,983 --> 00:01:58,317
William: Welcome
to western sumatra.
30
00:01:59,854 --> 00:02:03,122
Gordon: Chef William wongso
is an Indonesian legend.
31
00:02:04,225 --> 00:02:08,627
Over his half century
career, this restaurateur,
TV chef and food author,
32
00:02:08,662 --> 00:02:11,597
has been a mentor to many
of the country's best chefs.
33
00:02:12,333 --> 00:02:17,369
He's earned himself a
reputation as both a
teacher and a task master.
34
00:02:17,404 --> 00:02:21,140
And he's already
tasked me for arriving
without proper attire.
35
00:02:23,144 --> 00:02:24,276
Gordon: I'm sure.
36
00:02:24,311 --> 00:02:26,612
Nice thing about this, it'll
go from a 32 waist to 38.
37
00:02:26,647 --> 00:02:28,680
Fortunately, like a
posh French restaurant,
38
00:02:28,716 --> 00:02:31,083
William also has a
loaner jacket on hand.
39
00:02:31,118 --> 00:02:32,384
How do I look?
I look better now?
40
00:02:32,419 --> 00:02:33,285
William: Huh?
Gordon: I look better?
41
00:02:33,320 --> 00:02:34,386
William: Oh very.
Gordon: Yes?
42
00:02:34,421 --> 00:02:35,787
William: It looks good.
Gordon: Ok.
43
00:02:43,998 --> 00:02:47,132
Gordon: Wow.
My first time in Indonesia.
44
00:02:47,168 --> 00:02:49,935
What an experience.
45
00:02:51,739 --> 00:02:54,206
This grand palace
has many rules.
46
00:02:54,241 --> 00:02:57,376
In most places around
the world, it's no
shoes, no service.
47
00:02:57,411 --> 00:03:00,579
Here it's just the opposite.
Shoes off.
48
00:03:00,614 --> 00:03:01,780
William: Yes.
49
00:03:01,815 --> 00:03:05,184
Gordon: I have the biggest
feet in west sumatra. Look.
50
00:03:05,219 --> 00:03:06,685
You could put
yours inside mine.
51
00:03:06,720 --> 00:03:08,954
Oh my lord.
52
00:03:13,561 --> 00:03:18,363
Traditional bajamba feasts call
for food to be placed on the
floor meant for all to share,
53
00:03:18,399 --> 00:03:20,832
regardless of social status.
54
00:03:26,140 --> 00:03:27,239
Gordon: The whole fish.
55
00:03:29,877 --> 00:03:31,376
Gordon: Right.
56
00:03:31,412 --> 00:03:34,146
Influenced by spice traders
and foreign travelers for
over 1,000 years,
57
00:03:34,181 --> 00:03:37,816
Indonesian cuisine is
both diverse and daunting.
58
00:03:37,851 --> 00:03:41,520
And it appears we'll be
trying every single dish.
59
00:03:43,891 --> 00:03:45,123
William: Open this.
60
00:03:50,564 --> 00:03:53,031
When you have
this, you don't bite.
61
00:03:55,970 --> 00:03:58,303
Gordon: That's a
very strange texture.
62
00:04:04,078 --> 00:04:05,844
Gordon: Every 30
seconds you're throwing
something new at me.
63
00:04:05,879 --> 00:04:07,980
I'm like super
confused, super hot.
64
00:04:08,015 --> 00:04:09,982
Oh my lord.
So my nose is running.
65
00:04:10,017 --> 00:04:10,849
William: Yeah.
66
00:04:10,884 --> 00:04:12,684
Gordon: Faster
than Usain Bolt.
67
00:04:13,220 --> 00:04:17,189
But, my invitation came
with the promise of one
course in particular.
68
00:04:17,224 --> 00:04:21,593
West sumatra is the birthplace
of an extraordinary dish known
as beef rendang.
69
00:04:25,833 --> 00:04:29,234
Your favorite. This is
the region's specialty.
70
00:04:29,270 --> 00:04:32,137
It's a caramelized beef
curry from western sumatra.
71
00:04:32,172 --> 00:04:34,573
Gordon: Right.
That smells delicious.
72
00:04:37,444 --> 00:04:39,344
Mmm. Wow.
73
00:04:39,380 --> 00:04:41,413
Wow, wow, wow.
74
00:04:41,448 --> 00:04:44,616
When you swallow that first
mouthful, you're identifying
the combination.
75
00:04:44,652 --> 00:04:47,085
It's deep, it's rich, it's
just the perfect marriage.
76
00:04:47,121 --> 00:04:50,222
It's almost like a stew
having sex with a curry.
77
00:04:50,257 --> 00:04:52,457
Breathtaking.
Absolutely delicious.
78
00:04:52,760 --> 00:04:54,426
William: So.
Your challenge.
79
00:04:57,698 --> 00:04:58,730
Gordon: Yes.
80
00:05:01,268 --> 00:05:04,136
Gordon: You're 73 now?
William: 73.
81
00:05:04,171 --> 00:05:05,904
Gordon: And you're
still competitive.
82
00:05:05,939 --> 00:05:09,308
You want to challenge
for a rendang cook off
at the end of the week.
83
00:05:09,343 --> 00:05:10,742
I would love that.
84
00:05:10,778 --> 00:05:13,011
William: Ok.
Gordon: You are on.
85
00:05:13,914 --> 00:05:16,715
You've put me under an
immense amount of pressure
to get up to speed with
86
00:05:16,750 --> 00:05:19,718
a rendang in a week,
so I wanna get going.
87
00:05:19,753 --> 00:05:21,019
William: I did, yeah.
88
00:05:24,425 --> 00:05:27,292
Gordon: Right.
Thank you. Gentlemen.
89
00:05:35,102 --> 00:05:38,403
His excellency, the
governor of western sumatra.
90
00:05:39,106 --> 00:05:40,105
Gordon: Sir, how are you?
91
00:05:40,140 --> 00:05:41,206
Governor: Yeah,
fine thank you.
92
00:05:41,241 --> 00:05:42,574
Gordon: Nice to meet
you again, pleasure.
93
00:05:42,609 --> 00:05:44,943
William: And the
decedent king of milankabo.
94
00:05:44,978 --> 00:05:47,412
Gordon: Pleasure, thank you.
William: You cook the rendang?
95
00:05:47,448 --> 00:05:48,914
Gordon: Yes.
96
00:05:48,949 --> 00:05:51,083
William: The governor
will be your judge.
97
00:05:51,118 --> 00:05:55,387
Gordon: Oh stop. I think
I've just been ambushed.
98
00:05:55,422 --> 00:05:57,322
Gentlemen, thank you.
99
00:05:57,358 --> 00:05:59,858
Chef William wongso,
that guy's a legend.
100
00:05:59,893 --> 00:06:03,061
I mean, in his mid-70s now,
clearly not slowing down.
101
00:06:03,097 --> 00:06:06,565
He wants me to get up to
speed, to master a rendang
102
00:06:06,600 --> 00:06:08,266
and then get the
governor to be judge.
103
00:06:08,302 --> 00:06:10,202
It doesn't get any
bigger than that.
104
00:06:11,839 --> 00:06:15,941
If I'm going to beat the
Indonesian master on his turf,
105
00:06:15,976 --> 00:06:19,478
I need to find this beef in
sumatra for my rendang.
106
00:06:19,513 --> 00:06:23,815
So, I've enlisted the help of
a food writer, arde, who's
guiding me into the highlands
107
00:06:23,851 --> 00:06:26,151
to meet local cattle farmers.
108
00:06:26,186 --> 00:06:28,854
Now, arde, what's so
special about the beef?
109
00:06:28,889 --> 00:06:30,989
Arde: We're going to meet the
people that really knows
110
00:06:31,024 --> 00:06:33,692
how to get the best
beef in this area.
111
00:06:33,727 --> 00:06:35,360
Gordon: Wow.
112
00:06:35,396 --> 00:06:37,662
Arde: Like, really good beef.
Special cattle.
113
00:06:37,698 --> 00:06:40,165
Gordon: And it's a drive
up into the mountains?
114
00:06:40,200 --> 00:06:41,867
Arde: Yeah. We are.
115
00:06:41,902 --> 00:06:44,136
Gordon: The drive into the
mountains is long and arduous.
116
00:06:44,171 --> 00:06:47,305
So arde suggests we stop
for a bite along the way.
117
00:06:47,341 --> 00:06:51,143
Fortunately, in sumatra,
street food is a way of life.
118
00:06:51,178 --> 00:06:54,913
On almost every corner,
vendors hawk freshly made
snacks from pushcarts or
119
00:06:54,948 --> 00:06:57,349
hole in the wall shacks.
120
00:06:57,384 --> 00:07:00,919
Like this one, selling bika,
a teacake made from coconut.
121
00:07:00,954 --> 00:07:01,920
What is this?
122
00:07:01,955 --> 00:07:03,522
Arde: Really good,
it's everyone's favorite.
123
00:07:03,557 --> 00:07:04,723
Gordon: Everyone's
favorite. Hello.
124
00:07:04,758 --> 00:07:05,824
Vendor: Hello.
Arde: Hi.
125
00:07:05,859 --> 00:07:06,958
Gordon: Nice to meet you.
126
00:07:06,994 --> 00:07:08,894
My goodness, that's an
incredible smell, what is that?
127
00:07:08,929 --> 00:07:10,495
Arde: They cook
the cinnamon wood.
128
00:07:10,531 --> 00:07:11,696
Gordon: Cinnamon wood.
129
00:07:11,732 --> 00:07:14,299
Arde: So, this is bika.
Gordon: Bika.
It's like a cookie?
130
00:07:14,334 --> 00:07:15,901
Arde: Cake, small cake.
131
00:07:20,307 --> 00:07:22,040
Gordon: So it's almost
like an Indonesian macaroon.
132
00:07:22,075 --> 00:07:23,542
Arde: Oh, pretty
much like that.
133
00:07:23,577 --> 00:07:25,277
Gordon: So that's the
banana leaf underneath there?
134
00:07:25,312 --> 00:07:28,046
Arde: Yeah.
Gordon: Wow.
135
00:07:28,081 --> 00:07:30,415
Arde: And then, see
how they close it.
136
00:07:30,451 --> 00:07:33,218
Gordon: Oh, ok. Put the pot
back on and it bakes it.
137
00:07:33,420 --> 00:07:34,853
Vendor: You want to try?
138
00:07:34,888 --> 00:07:36,188
Gordon: Ok.
Let me take that.
139
00:07:36,223 --> 00:07:38,657
Vendor: Ok.
Gordon: Thank you.
140
00:07:38,692 --> 00:07:43,195
Vendor: Puw! Oh.
No, no, no. Here.
141
00:07:43,230 --> 00:07:45,797
Gordon: Damn, it's like
a bird (bleep) All over
my windscreen.
142
00:07:45,833 --> 00:07:47,599
Here we go.
143
00:07:47,634 --> 00:07:49,768
Vendor: Ok. Ah. Oh.
144
00:07:49,803 --> 00:07:51,403
(Laughing).
145
00:07:51,438 --> 00:07:54,272
Gordon: (Bleep) I'm sorry,
I hit the side of the pot.
146
00:07:54,308 --> 00:07:55,540
Vendor: Yes.
147
00:07:55,576 --> 00:07:56,641
Gordon: So can I have a look
at these ones that are cooked?
148
00:07:56,677 --> 00:08:00,345
Let me get the tongs, here
we go. Oh sorry (bleep).
149
00:08:00,380 --> 00:08:01,913
Arde: See how they...
150
00:08:01,949 --> 00:08:03,482
Gordon: Ok, gotcha.
151
00:08:03,517 --> 00:08:04,950
How many bika do
you make a day?
152
00:08:04,985 --> 00:08:06,451
(Speaking native language).
153
00:08:06,487 --> 00:08:08,086
Arde: 2,000.
Vendor: 2,000.
154
00:08:08,121 --> 00:08:09,521
Official: 2,000 bika.
Gordon: A week?
155
00:08:09,556 --> 00:08:11,523
Arde: No. A day.
Gordon: A day.
156
00:08:11,558 --> 00:08:12,691
Arde: Every day.
157
00:08:12,726 --> 00:08:16,294
Gordon: Stop it, smart arse.
They make it look so easy.
158
00:08:16,330 --> 00:08:19,097
Their angling up to eight
beautiful biscuits in there.
159
00:08:19,132 --> 00:08:21,132
Now I couldn't
even get one, so.
160
00:08:21,168 --> 00:08:25,637
Yeah, I mean practice makes
perfect but how many coconuts
do you want to screw?
161
00:08:25,672 --> 00:08:28,106
Arde: This is like
typical from this area only.
162
00:08:28,141 --> 00:08:31,843
And people normally eat
this while having coffee
in the afternoon.
163
00:08:31,879 --> 00:08:33,812
Like having a tea time.
164
00:08:33,847 --> 00:08:35,614
Gordon: Mm-mm?
Arde: Mm-mm.
165
00:08:35,649 --> 00:08:37,015
Gordon: Excellent,
thank you so much.
166
00:08:37,050 --> 00:08:38,016
Vendor: Thank you so much.
167
00:08:38,051 --> 00:08:39,451

screwing so many up.

00:08:42,990 --> 00:08:44,389
Arde: Yeah.
172
00:08:44,424 --> 00:08:46,858
Gordon: But, it turns
out not all roadside
snacks in west sumatra
173
00:08:46,894 --> 00:08:48,527
are as delicious as bika.
174
00:08:48,562 --> 00:08:51,263
Some... oh no, no,
no, please, no, no.
175
00:08:54,868 --> 00:08:57,135
I bet you not, not the
smelliest fruit on the planet.
176
00:08:57,938 --> 00:08:59,771
Gordon: Durian fruit,
so well respected here.
177
00:08:59,806 --> 00:09:02,674
There's a pungent
smell that doesn't sit
right with my palate.
178
00:09:03,210 --> 00:09:05,710
Never been a big
fan, but I respect it.
179
00:09:05,746 --> 00:09:07,479
Oh my god.
180
00:09:07,514 --> 00:09:09,014
Arde: What, you
try this before?
181
00:09:09,049 --> 00:09:10,181
Gordon: I did try it.
182
00:09:10,217 --> 00:09:11,850
Arde: No, no, no, wait.
It's different.
183
00:09:11,885 --> 00:09:14,619
This is sumatra and durian is
different, this is the best.
184
00:09:14,655 --> 00:09:17,289
Gordon: A sumatran
durian is different to a.
185
00:09:17,324 --> 00:09:19,991
Arde: Any other durians.
This is the best.
186
00:09:20,027 --> 00:09:21,893
Gordon: So they don't smell?
Arde: They smell.
187
00:09:21,929 --> 00:09:24,062
But that's what's unique
about durian, come on.
188
00:09:24,097 --> 00:09:25,263
But it's different.
189
00:09:25,299 --> 00:09:27,265
Gordon: It's different.
Arde: It's different.
190

Gordon: I swear, I'm
not just being precious.
191
00:09:29,570 --> 00:09:34,606
Durian fruit is so smelly,
it's outlawed in hotels,
elevators and on public
192
00:09:34,641 --> 00:09:37,742
transport throughout
much of south east Asia.
193
00:09:37,778 --> 00:09:40,478
Arde: The king of the fruits.
194
00:09:42,449 --> 00:09:43,982
Gordon: It's
pungent, it's strong.
195
00:09:44,017 --> 00:09:46,318
It's like something's
been fermented.
196
00:09:49,723 --> 00:09:52,824
Arde: You try?
Please? For me?
197
00:09:52,859 --> 00:09:55,694
Gordon: It looks
like a human brain.
198
00:10:01,101 --> 00:10:03,201
Oh excuse me, please.
199
00:10:03,236 --> 00:10:07,172
And I respect the fact that
it's the royalty of fruit but
it's just not my cup of tea.
200
00:10:07,207 --> 00:10:09,441
Durian's strong
taste is polarizing.
201
00:10:09,476 --> 00:10:12,677
It's either hated or
loved, like Hawaiian pizza.
202
00:10:12,713 --> 00:10:15,380
But I think arde is
just trying to torment me.
203
00:10:15,415 --> 00:10:16,247
Really?
204
00:10:16,283 --> 00:10:17,315
Arde: Mm-mm, mm-mm.
205
00:10:17,351 --> 00:10:18,617
Gordon: Gee, can you
stop eating that like that?
206
00:10:18,652 --> 00:10:19,551
Arde: Let me just finish this.
207
00:10:19,586 --> 00:10:21,286

the last durian.

(Laughing).
209
00:10:22,956 --> 00:10:26,424
After tasting street food
both good and bad, it's time
to get back on the road
210

in search of the finest
cuts of beef on the island,
211
00:10:29,262 --> 00:10:32,597
which will hopefully
wash the taste of durian
out of my mouth.
212
00:10:34,835 --> 00:10:37,502
And also they always
keep the best calf for
themselves, normally.
213
00:10:37,537 --> 00:10:39,037
Gordon: Gotcha.
214
00:10:39,039 --> 00:10:41,406

special, like, the thing
you've never seen before.

where is this beef?
217
00:10:50,617 --> 00:10:52,350
How much further?
Up around the corner?
218
00:10:52,386 --> 00:10:54,386
Arde: Probably further.
Gordon: Seriously?
219

00:18:29,909 --> 00:18:31,676
Rusti: Follow him under there.
336
00:18:31,711 --> 00:18:37,048
Gordon: Rusti! (Bleep) Sake!
(Bleep).
337
00:18:38,885 --> 00:18:41,419
Rusti: You know why
you fall down, because
you're so heavy.
338
00:18:41,454 --> 00:18:45,356
Gordon: I said that. (Bleep).
339
00:18:47,293 --> 00:18:50,528
Despite taking an
unexpected bath, I'm
determined to finish
340
00:18:50,563 --> 00:18:52,697
lashing my nets
to the outriggers.
341
00:18:52,732 --> 00:18:57,135
And prove to the captain that
I can pull my weight, even if
that's double his own.
342
00:18:57,170 --> 00:18:58,803
Rusti: Ok, that's good.
343
00:18:58,838 --> 00:19:01,739
Gordon: Good.
Good, captain?
344
00:19:01,774 --> 00:19:03,441
Rusti: Captain.
345
00:19:05,145 --> 00:19:07,211
Gordon: Our nets
lower to the sea floor.
346
00:19:07,247 --> 00:19:10,214
The captain hits the
floodlights, meant to
attract the fish.
347
00:19:10,250 --> 00:19:14,852
After treading water in the
Indian ocean, I'm starving.
348
00:19:15,655 --> 00:19:18,022
Fortunately, there's
a surprise waiting
in the galley.
349
00:19:19,692 --> 00:19:22,293
Rusti: So...
Gordon: Look at that.
350
00:19:22,328 --> 00:19:24,028
(Speaking native language).
351
00:19:24,063 --> 00:19:25,630
Gordon: That is
not fish, stop it.
352
00:19:25,665 --> 00:19:27,165
Rusti: Yes.
Gordon: Look at that.
353
00:19:27,200 --> 00:19:28,866
Rusti: Yeah.
This is beef rendang.
354
00:19:28,902 --> 00:19:30,768
Gordon: Beef rendang.
Rusti: Yeah.
355
00:19:30,803 --> 00:19:33,704
Gordon: But, we're on a boat.
Why no fish? May I?
356
00:19:33,740 --> 00:19:36,707
Rusti: Yeah, you can try.
357
00:19:39,078 --> 00:19:40,845
So, what do you think?
358
00:19:40,880 --> 00:19:42,213
Gordon: That's delicious.
Rusti: Really?
359
00:19:42,248 --> 00:19:46,350
Gordon: Mmm. Please.
That is so good.
360
00:19:46,386 --> 00:19:49,487
The big surprise is
the bloody beef rendang.
361
00:19:49,522 --> 00:19:51,556
So, no fish?
362
00:19:56,262 --> 00:19:58,629
Gordon: There's me thinking
we're gonna eat some fish
from the previous catch.
363
00:19:58,665 --> 00:20:02,066
No, there's no
refrigeration on board,
so this caramelized beef
364
00:20:02,101 --> 00:20:04,235
that is absolutely delicious.
365
00:20:04,270 --> 00:20:09,073
My job this week is to make
a rendang that can compete
with chef William's.
366
00:20:09,108 --> 00:20:11,909
The captain's recipe is
loaded with even more spice,
367
00:20:11,945 --> 00:20:14,445
which preserves the
beef while out at sea.
368
00:20:14,480 --> 00:20:16,013
You know, it's
crispy, it's caramelized.
369
00:20:16,049 --> 00:20:19,984
It's nice and moist and
sort of sticky in the middle.
370
00:20:20,019 --> 00:20:24,222
After eating both versions,
I'm getting a much more
complex understanding of
371
00:20:24,257 --> 00:20:26,090
west sumatran rendang.
372
00:20:26,125 --> 00:20:28,893
Now, the nets are down.
The lights are on.
373
00:20:28,928 --> 00:20:31,762
When do we pull these nets up?
374
00:20:31,798 --> 00:20:33,965
Rusti: It's
three of four days.
375
00:20:34,000 --> 00:20:36,467
Gordon: Three or four days?
Rusti: Yes.
376
00:20:37,971 --> 00:20:40,104
Gordon: I couldn't spend
three or four days out here.
377
00:20:42,775 --> 00:20:46,711
The captain promises to
deliver my share of the catch
when he returns to land,
378
00:20:46,746 --> 00:20:50,648
which hopefully will be
in time for my big cook
with chef wongso.
379
00:20:54,687 --> 00:20:58,522
With so much still to
discover, I reconnect
with arde who has promised
380
00:20:58,558 --> 00:21:02,193
to give me the edge over the
master of Indonesian cuisine.
381
00:21:02,695 --> 00:21:04,629
Wow. Is that it?
We're going in there?
382
00:21:04,664 --> 00:21:07,665
Arde: Yeah.
Gordon: Arde.
383
00:21:07,700 --> 00:21:10,034
Every hour with you is
a different adventure.
384
00:21:12,639 --> 00:21:16,941
According to arde, while
Indonesia's coastline provide
some of the best salt water
385
00:21:16,976 --> 00:21:21,646
seafood in the world, there's
more to be found inland if you
know where to look.
386
00:21:22,148 --> 00:21:23,381
So what we gonna catch?
387
00:21:26,452 --> 00:21:27,551
Gordon: Really?
388
00:21:27,587 --> 00:21:30,855
I never ever thought we'd
be finding prawns in here.
389
00:21:32,025 --> 00:21:33,724
How do we get through there?
390
00:21:33,760 --> 00:21:37,361
Arde: Mmm. Go down.
391
00:21:37,397 --> 00:21:38,796
Gordon: There's
nowhere to go down.
392
00:21:38,831 --> 00:21:44,268
(Bleep) (Bleep) (Bleep).
393
00:21:44,804 --> 00:21:48,306
Seriously? (Bleep).
394
00:21:59,152 --> 00:22:00,151
What did we hit?
395
00:22:00,186 --> 00:22:02,119
Arde: Nothing.
It's ok.
396
00:22:02,155 --> 00:22:04,288
Gordon: (Bleep)
Arde: Are you scared?
397
00:22:04,324 --> 00:22:06,357
Gordon: No, I'm not
scared, you are just crazy.
398
00:22:07,827 --> 00:22:12,697
I'm venturing into a dark cave
system, on the hunt for giant
Indonesian river prawns.
399
00:22:14,801 --> 00:22:17,735
Gordon: Wow.
Look at this.
400
00:22:17,770 --> 00:22:19,804
This is incredible.
What an entrance.
401
00:22:19,839 --> 00:22:22,707
Literally, you know, I'm
talking about a foot high.
402
00:22:22,742 --> 00:22:27,611
I've fished many an amazing
location but not quite as
exotic and exquisite as this.
403
00:22:27,647 --> 00:22:29,213
Are you sure
there's prawns here?
404
00:22:31,351 --> 00:22:32,516
Gordon: Can you
hear those bats?
405
00:22:32,552 --> 00:22:33,484
Arde: Mm-mm.
406
00:22:33,519 --> 00:22:35,986
Gordon: Ok.
Shall we?
407
00:22:37,990 --> 00:22:40,725
I've never caught
a prawn on a hook.
408
00:22:40,760 --> 00:22:43,861
I'm gonna cast it a little
bit further up there. Man.
409
00:22:44,831 --> 00:22:48,833
It's hard to understand any
form of time when you're in
this cave and it's dark.
410
00:22:48,868 --> 00:22:51,335
Come on, prawns.
411
00:22:51,371 --> 00:22:55,773
After sitting for over an
hour with barely a nibble,
things are looking bleak,
412
00:22:55,808 --> 00:22:59,677
until there's a light
from the end of the tunnel.
413
00:22:59,712 --> 00:23:01,512
Arde: Hello.
Gordon: Hello.
414
00:23:01,547 --> 00:23:03,013
Have they been fishing?
415
00:23:03,049 --> 00:23:04,315
Arde: Yeah, yeah.
They are.
416
00:23:04,350 --> 00:23:06,050
Gordon: Are they?
Did you catch any prawns?
417
00:23:06,085 --> 00:23:08,552
Oh my goodness me, stop it.
418
00:23:08,588 --> 00:23:09,787
Arde: See, big ones.
419
00:23:09,822 --> 00:23:12,089
Gordon: Could I buy
some prawns, please? Yes?
420
00:23:12,125 --> 00:23:13,858
Those fishermen saved
the day for me, you know?
421
00:23:13,893 --> 00:23:15,559
Arde and I were sat there
patiently, but we could
422
00:23:15,595 --> 00:23:17,561
be here all night
and still no bite.
423
00:23:17,597 --> 00:23:21,632
They're weird looking prawns.
Bloody hell. Wow. Thank you.
424
00:23:21,667 --> 00:23:23,234
(Speaking native language).
425
00:23:23,269 --> 00:23:25,035
Gordon: God bless.
Right, shall we head back?
426
00:23:25,071 --> 00:23:27,138
I gotta start prepping.
I'm cooking for the governor.
427
00:23:27,173 --> 00:23:28,372
Arde: Ok. Yes.
428
00:23:28,408 --> 00:23:31,208
Gordon: Look at the
length of the claws. Crazy.
429
00:23:31,244 --> 00:23:33,344
Thank you.
430
00:23:40,153 --> 00:23:42,720
I've gathered all the meat
and seafood for my menu.
431
00:23:42,755 --> 00:23:46,757
So now, I'm sourcing the
remaining ingredients to
make my rendang paste.
432
00:23:46,793 --> 00:23:48,659
Wow, look at this
thing here, beautiful.
433
00:23:48,694 --> 00:23:51,395
To ensure it measures up
to chef Williams, I've
enlisted the help of
434
00:23:51,431 --> 00:23:54,365
a young rendang
master named katuju.
435
00:23:54,400 --> 00:23:57,168
Rendang, it came from
west sumatra, right?
436
00:23:57,203 --> 00:23:58,669
Katuju: Yes.
437
00:23:58,704 --> 00:24:00,771
Gordon: I've gotta get up
to speed and I'm going up
against a legend.
438
00:24:00,807 --> 00:24:02,506
I need to nail this thing.
439
00:24:08,114 --> 00:24:09,413
Gordon: Wow, what's
this lady doing here?
440
00:24:09,449 --> 00:24:11,549
Katuju: They're already
prepared for the most
441
00:24:11,584 --> 00:24:12,983
important ingredient
for rendang.
442
00:24:13,019 --> 00:24:14,084
Gordon: Wow.
So what's she doing?
443
00:24:14,120 --> 00:24:15,152
Is she making a paste?
444
00:24:15,188 --> 00:24:16,754
Katuju: Yeah,
that's chili and onions.
445
00:24:16,789 --> 00:24:17,788
Gordon: Can we do it here?
446
00:24:17,824 --> 00:24:19,089
(Speaking native language).
447
00:24:19,125 --> 00:24:20,491
Katuju: We can use
this for our rendang.
448
00:24:20,526 --> 00:24:21,826
Gordon: Absolutely, thank you.
449
00:24:24,263 --> 00:24:26,197
Gordon: Shall we?
Thank you.
450
00:24:26,232 --> 00:24:30,801
Now that I have the perfect
spot to mix my rendang paste,
katuju and I search for the
451
00:24:30,803 --> 00:24:34,438
rest of my ingredients
from the incredible
array of local produce.
452
00:24:37,944 --> 00:24:40,811
Gordon: Galagal on there.
Katuju: Ok, this one is lime.
453
00:24:40,847 --> 00:24:42,580
Gordon: Lime leaf.
Kaffir lime leaf.
454
00:24:42,615 --> 00:24:44,548
Katuju: Yes.
Gordon: Beautiful.
455
00:24:44,584 --> 00:24:46,650
What's that one in there?
456
00:24:48,321 --> 00:24:49,620
Katuju: Chicken feet.
457
00:24:49,655 --> 00:24:51,889
Gordon: Chicken foot, I'd
love to try it, thank you.
458
00:24:51,924 --> 00:24:55,626
But there are so many
smells and flavors here to
distract a chef like me.
459
00:24:55,661 --> 00:25:00,364
Mmm. They make this market
feel like one big playground.
460
00:25:00,399 --> 00:25:01,699
Katuju: Yes.
461
00:25:01,734 --> 00:25:03,467
Gordon: It's ok to
borrow the bike?
462
00:25:03,536 --> 00:25:04,902
Thank you, thank
you very much.
463
00:25:04,937 --> 00:25:07,838
High five. High five.
Amazing. Oh, that's good.
464
00:25:09,976 --> 00:25:12,243
With all the ingredients
needed to start my
special rendang,
465
00:25:12,278 --> 00:25:15,179
it's time to grind them
down into a fine paste.
466
00:25:15,214 --> 00:25:20,484
I'm given a crash course in
using the cobek and ulekan, or
sumatran pestle and mortar.
467
00:25:20,920 --> 00:25:22,119
Ok, I'm gonna start the paste.
468
00:25:22,154 --> 00:25:23,888
Katuju: Yes.
Gordon: There, gotcha.
469
00:25:23,923 --> 00:25:26,190
Katuju: Ok, you can do it.
You can do it.
470
00:25:26,225 --> 00:25:28,459
Just pull it,
pull it, pull it.
471
00:25:28,494 --> 00:25:30,160
Gordon: (Bleep).
472
00:25:30,196 --> 00:25:33,531
Will you ask
the ladies to stop laughing,
I'm getting embarrassed.
473
00:25:33,566 --> 00:25:35,132
Honestly.
474
00:25:35,167 --> 00:25:37,801
It's like all my daughters
seeking revenge in one.
475
00:25:37,837 --> 00:25:41,305
Katuju: Ok, ok.
Just, we use a spoon.
476
00:25:41,340 --> 00:25:42,840
Gordon: Yes.
477
00:25:42,875 --> 00:25:45,943
I have enough pressure on me
going up against chef wongso,
478
00:25:45,978 --> 00:25:48,646
but this is harder
than it looks.
479
00:25:48,681 --> 00:25:50,047
Do you have a bigger rock?
480
00:25:50,082 --> 00:25:51,448
Katuju: Yes. Ah.
481
00:25:51,484 --> 00:25:53,517
Gordon: You give me
the small one first.
482
00:25:53,553 --> 00:25:56,620
Thank you.
Thank you.
483
00:25:58,558 --> 00:26:00,591
This lady seems a
bit impatient with me.
484
00:26:00,626 --> 00:26:02,793
Seems she's a follower
of the ramsay method.
485
00:26:02,828 --> 00:26:06,030
Next ingredient, ginger.
486
00:26:07,800 --> 00:26:12,036
I'm starting to get the hang
of this and with the shallots
now pulverized,
487
00:26:12,071 --> 00:26:16,140
in goes the garlic, salt and
of course, heat of chilies.
488
00:26:19,178 --> 00:26:20,010
Is she happy yet?
489
00:26:20,046 --> 00:26:20,878
Katuju: Finally.
490
00:26:20,913 --> 00:26:22,079
(Speaking native language).
491
00:26:22,114 --> 00:26:23,080
It's good.
492
00:26:23,115 --> 00:26:24,915
Gordon: That was a workout.
That was good.
493
00:26:24,951 --> 00:26:26,216
I'd love to start
cooking this now.
494
00:26:26,252 --> 00:26:27,985
How do I?
495
00:26:28,020 --> 00:26:31,722
Because the secret is getting
this thing done with sort of
eight to ten hours in front.
496
00:26:31,757 --> 00:26:33,390
Katuju: We can find a place.
497
00:26:33,426 --> 00:26:34,458
Gordon: We can find somewhere?
498
00:26:34,493 --> 00:26:35,593
Katuju: Yeah, to go. Ok.
499
00:26:35,628 --> 00:26:36,860
Gordon: Thank you so much.
Katuju: Thank you so much.
500
00:26:36,896 --> 00:26:39,129
Gordon: Boom. Excellent.
501
00:26:50,543 --> 00:26:52,076
Katuju: Ok, she said, "yes."
502
00:26:52,111 --> 00:26:54,545
Gordon: Thank you so much.
503
00:26:54,580 --> 00:26:56,413
What a gorgeous
little kitchen.
504
00:26:56,449 --> 00:26:59,416
I really wanna make sure
that we nail this rendang.
505
00:26:59,452 --> 00:27:02,086
Now that katuju has
helped me with the paste,
506
00:27:02,121 --> 00:27:04,989
I'm ready to roll up my
sleeves and take it from here.
507
00:27:05,024 --> 00:27:07,124
Here we go.
508
00:27:08,327 --> 00:27:09,627
Toted the gas.
509
00:27:09,662 --> 00:27:11,195
Can you just pass me
that lemongrass please?
510
00:27:11,230 --> 00:27:16,000
Yeah, I was gonna split
them so in, little
slice in the middle.
511
00:27:16,035 --> 00:27:17,901
That's gonna give it a
little bit more sweetness.
512
00:27:17,937 --> 00:27:20,337
And then next, turmeric leaf.
513
00:27:20,373 --> 00:27:22,840
Twist, that starts to bleed.
514
00:27:22,875 --> 00:27:24,742
Kaffir lime leaf.
515
00:27:24,777 --> 00:27:28,078
And then the
turmeric. Beautiful.
516
00:27:28,714 --> 00:27:30,280
You see, it's not even
cooked yet and look at it.
517
00:27:30,316 --> 00:27:31,649
Already it's
starting to smell.
518
00:27:31,684 --> 00:27:33,117
Um, madam...
519
00:27:33,152 --> 00:27:34,585
(Speaking native language).
520
00:27:34,620 --> 00:27:37,154
Mmm.
521
00:27:39,725 --> 00:27:40,824
Gordon: Good smell?
Katuju: Good smell.
522
00:27:40,860 --> 00:27:43,460
Gordon: Mmm, you're right.
And, it's just the start.
523
00:27:43,496 --> 00:27:46,497
Coconut milk now.
Beautiful.
524
00:27:46,532 --> 00:27:49,667
It is such a high
pressurized cook.
525
00:27:49,702 --> 00:27:55,172
My rendang may smell authentic
but has got a long way to go
before it tastes authentic.
526
00:27:55,207 --> 00:27:58,409
I just hope the
governor doesn't veto it.
527
00:27:58,444 --> 00:27:59,710
I have to beat William.
528
00:27:59,712 --> 00:28:01,578
And so this needs
to be exceptional.
529
00:28:10,856 --> 00:28:14,992
And I'm feeling like an
undergrad, having pulled an
all-nighter before finals.
530
00:28:15,461 --> 00:28:17,194
Chef. Good morning.
531
00:28:17,229 --> 00:28:19,697
William: Gordon.
Gordon: Put that on there.
532
00:28:19,732 --> 00:28:21,432
William: You're late.
Gordon: I know, I know.
533
00:28:21,467 --> 00:28:22,533
I'm so sorry.
You good?
534
00:28:22,568 --> 00:28:25,335
William: I've been here
for a couple of hours.
535
00:28:25,371 --> 00:28:27,538
Gordon: My apology.
Look at that table.
536
00:28:28,808 --> 00:28:31,909
The most gorgeous table
anywhere in Indonesia.
537
00:28:31,944 --> 00:28:35,879
Today, I'll serve a feast to
the governor of west sumatra.
538
00:28:35,915 --> 00:28:40,184
And I'm keen to show my
Indonesian mentor that
I've done my homework.
539
00:28:40,219 --> 00:28:43,921
Whilst you were sleeping
and having those wonderful
dreams last night,
540
00:28:43,956 --> 00:28:46,023
my rendang has been working.
541
00:28:46,058 --> 00:28:48,459
Ok, I know you can't do this
in like, two or three hours,
542
00:28:48,494 --> 00:28:50,961
so I started it in
the market yesterday.
543
00:28:50,996 --> 00:28:52,596
No time to waste.
544
00:28:52,631 --> 00:28:54,598
Job one is
finishing my rendang.
545
00:28:54,633 --> 00:28:58,202
But, instead of ordinary beef,
I've got a secret weapon.
546
00:28:59,739 --> 00:29:03,440
I'm using a beautiful
tenderloin, not often
used in rendang.
547
00:29:03,476 --> 00:29:05,609
It's one of the most
tender cuts of beef.
548
00:29:05,644 --> 00:29:10,214
Combine that with wild
ginger, galangal and
smoked coconut oil,
549
00:29:10,249 --> 00:29:13,484
and I'm sure to
make an impression.
550
00:29:14,587 --> 00:29:17,621
William: I hope I heard a good
thing about your bull race.
551
00:29:17,656 --> 00:29:19,123
Gordon: That was hard.
552
00:29:19,158 --> 00:29:20,958
William: How much
distance you make?
553
00:29:20,993 --> 00:29:25,095
Gordon: I made it
about 80 meters.
554
00:29:26,198 --> 00:29:28,432
Sorry, 80 centimeters.
555
00:29:28,467 --> 00:29:29,967
William: It's embarrassing.
556
00:29:30,002 --> 00:29:31,802
Gordon: That was
hard, come on.
557
00:29:31,837 --> 00:29:34,271
Look, I put my feet here
and I'm there like that.
558
00:29:34,306 --> 00:29:37,641
My head was sandwiched right
in between two bullocks arses.
559
00:29:37,676 --> 00:29:39,243
Not good.
560
00:29:39,278 --> 00:29:42,513
He says, "get in and
look for an adventure."
561
00:29:42,548 --> 00:29:45,015
I did just that,
but my goodness me.
562
00:29:45,050 --> 00:29:47,651
Right, got some great
color on that beef now.
563
00:29:47,686 --> 00:29:51,755
I'm caramelizing that beef
on top of this grill,
564
00:29:51,791 --> 00:29:54,358
and I'm gonna place the
beef inside the rendang.
565
00:29:54,393 --> 00:29:56,927
William: I tell you,
you follow my way.
566
00:29:56,962 --> 00:29:58,862
Gordon: I will be
following your way, trust me.
567
00:29:58,898 --> 00:30:01,331
At my own peril.
I'll be following your way.
568
00:30:01,367 --> 00:30:05,169
William: Remember, never do
rendang in the quick way.
569
00:30:05,204 --> 00:30:07,571
Gordon: In the quick, no,
I'm not rushing this rendang.
570
00:30:07,606 --> 00:30:09,840
Although rain is
stopping play here.
571
00:30:09,875 --> 00:30:11,441
William: Well.
572
00:30:11,477 --> 00:30:13,977
(Laughing).
573
00:30:14,013 --> 00:30:15,979
What should I do?
574
00:30:16,015 --> 00:30:18,982
Gordon: Well we can't
stop, the governor's
coming for dinner!
575
00:30:19,018 --> 00:30:20,784
Here you go.
576
00:30:20,820 --> 00:30:22,853
(Laughing).
577
00:30:22,888 --> 00:30:25,155
William: Ok, whatever. Whatever.
578
00:30:25,191 --> 00:30:27,524
Gordon: Come on, my mom
said, "a little bit of
rain never hurt."
579
00:30:27,560 --> 00:30:29,793
I checked the weather
forecast this morning,
it's a very quick shower.
580
00:30:29,829 --> 00:30:30,994
William: Alright.
581
00:30:31,030 --> 00:30:33,764
Gordon: Oh chef.
Chef, chef, chef, chef.
582
00:30:33,799 --> 00:30:36,066
It's fine, look. 30 seconds
now, it'll be passing.
583
00:30:36,101 --> 00:30:38,635
William: Ah.
That's good.
584
00:30:38,671 --> 00:30:39,903
Gordon: There you go.
585
00:30:39,939 --> 00:30:41,805
Yeah. Can I have my
umbrella back now, please?
586
00:30:41,841 --> 00:30:43,173
William: Thank you.
Gordon: Thank you sir.
587
00:30:43,209 --> 00:30:45,042
You're welcome.
588
00:30:48,614 --> 00:30:52,883
After our quick cool down,
it's time to add some more
sweet coconut cream to
589
00:30:52,918 --> 00:30:55,853
compliment the
rendang's rich spices.
590
00:30:55,888 --> 00:30:58,655
Now, that coconut milk is the
essence of a great rendang.
591
00:30:58,691 --> 00:30:59,957
William: Gordon?
592
00:30:59,992 --> 00:31:01,058
Gordon: Yes, sir.
593
00:31:01,093 --> 00:31:02,559
William: If the
moisture is too high.
594
00:31:02,595 --> 00:31:04,194
Gordon: Yes.
William: It doesn't last long.
595
00:31:04,230 --> 00:31:06,029
Gordon: Ok. Gotcha.
596
00:31:06,065 --> 00:31:08,365
Chef, how do you turn
the gas up on this thing?
597
00:31:08,400 --> 00:31:10,500
William: Time is running out.
598
00:31:10,536 --> 00:31:13,337
Gordon: Yeah, I know.
Rain didn't help, did it?
599
00:31:13,372 --> 00:31:17,140
You know, William sees a
little bit of him in me, so
he wants to mentor me now.
600
00:31:17,176 --> 00:31:19,943
William: Are you going
to cook this until
going back to London?
601
00:31:19,979 --> 00:31:22,312
Gordon: It's almost like being
back, you know, at the
beginning of my career.
602
00:31:22,348 --> 00:31:23,513
Right.
603
00:31:24,049 --> 00:31:26,383
Gordon: No, let's just try
them off again, we get them
a little bit more crispy. Good.
604
00:31:26,418 --> 00:31:27,484
William: Yes.
605
00:31:27,519 --> 00:31:30,420
Gordon: While you're
doing that, do this, do that.
606
00:31:30,456 --> 00:31:32,856
Gordon: It's gonna burn.
Do you wanna take over?
607
00:31:32,892 --> 00:31:35,025
I'm never too old
to take advice.
608
00:31:35,060 --> 00:31:39,129
But to take advice from a
legend like that is exciting.
609
00:31:40,933 --> 00:31:44,835
Chef William has prepared
a beef rendang in the
traditional style,
610
00:31:44,870 --> 00:31:48,605
simmering the meat in
the rendang paste for
over eight hours.
611
00:31:48,641 --> 00:31:53,210
He's also preparing a
fern tip curry, served
with fresh shrimp.
612
00:31:53,245 --> 00:31:55,379
I'd be lying if I said I'm not
a little nervous about
613
00:31:55,414 --> 00:31:58,181
what else he may
have up his sleeve.
614
00:31:58,217 --> 00:32:00,984
Where's my prawns?
Prawns, prawns.
615
00:32:01,020 --> 00:32:03,620
(Bleep) Where
have my prawns gone?
616
00:32:03,656 --> 00:32:06,423
William: Here you are,
chief, I steal it from you.
617
00:32:06,458 --> 00:32:08,859
Gordon: You stoke my prawns?
Why have you stolen them?
618
00:32:08,894 --> 00:32:10,694
William: I want to
make a surprise.
619
00:32:10,729 --> 00:32:14,965
Give you a little
surprise is good.
620
00:32:15,000 --> 00:32:18,568
Gordon: Shame on
you, William wongso.
621
00:32:19,972 --> 00:32:21,872
I'll let William
have my prawn.
622
00:32:21,907 --> 00:32:25,442
After all I've been through
this week, I don't have the
strength to fight.
623
00:32:25,477 --> 00:32:29,313
Luckily, my fishing
captain came through with
some beautiful bonito.
624
00:32:29,348 --> 00:32:34,251
I'll use my curry paste to
prepare a unique fish rendang
to compliment my beef rendang.
625
00:32:34,753 --> 00:32:36,053
I hope you enjoy those prawns.
626
00:32:36,088 --> 00:32:37,321
I worked hard
for those things.
627
00:32:37,356 --> 00:32:38,622
William: This is my favorite.
628
00:32:38,657 --> 00:32:40,490
Gordon: Oh. I'm glad to
hear it, by the way.
629
00:32:40,526 --> 00:32:42,125
I got them in a cave.
630
00:32:42,161 --> 00:32:45,262
William: You are daring.
Gordon: I'm very daring.
631
00:32:45,297 --> 00:32:47,297
William: You haven't
done your dessert.
632
00:32:47,333 --> 00:32:48,999
Gordon: For the dessert,
I'd love some yogurt.
633
00:32:49,034 --> 00:32:50,167
Do you have any
yogurt, please?
634
00:32:50,202 --> 00:32:51,168
Fresh yogurt.
635
00:32:51,203 --> 00:32:52,436
William: How soon do you need?
636
00:32:52,471 --> 00:32:54,204
Gordon: Asap, please.
637
00:32:54,239 --> 00:32:57,874
William: Leave it,
just put it here?
638
00:32:57,910 --> 00:32:59,076
Gordon: Take it off?
639
00:32:59,111 --> 00:33:02,846
William: Don't let it burn.
We go in and get the yogurt.
640
00:33:02,881 --> 00:33:06,516
Gordon: Seriously?
Local yogurt?
641
00:33:06,552 --> 00:33:08,819
William: Better. Buffalo.
Gordon: Buffalo yogurt.
642
00:33:08,854 --> 00:33:12,122
William: Very curdy.
Very firm.
643
00:33:12,157 --> 00:33:14,291
Gordon: Look at the
size of that beauty.
644
00:33:14,326 --> 00:33:15,692
Is this the farmer?
645
00:33:15,728 --> 00:33:17,728
William: Yes.
Gordon: Wow.
646
00:33:17,763 --> 00:33:19,029
Good morning sir.
647
00:33:24,703 --> 00:33:26,570
We ask him to get the yogurt.
648
00:33:30,309 --> 00:33:31,641
William: Well,
you have to wait.
649
00:33:31,677 --> 00:33:34,077
We wait until he's
finished milking.
650
00:33:34,113 --> 00:33:37,748
Gordon: Buffalo are
much more sensitive than
domesticated dairy cattle.
651
00:33:37,783 --> 00:33:41,785
As a result, the farmer
has refused to step away
from his prize cow
652
00:33:41,820 --> 00:33:44,988
until her udders are tapped.
653
00:33:45,024 --> 00:33:47,290
We can't wait.
My rendang.
654
00:33:47,326 --> 00:33:48,892
I gotta go, the
governor's lunch.
655
00:33:52,164 --> 00:33:55,966
Gordon: But with the clock
ticking, William asked the
farmer to fetch the yogurt
656
00:33:56,001 --> 00:34:01,405
and volunteers my services
to sweet talk some milk out
of this bashful bovine.
657
00:34:01,440 --> 00:34:02,873
You want me to milk this?
658
00:34:02,908 --> 00:34:04,608
William: You better do it.
659
00:34:04,643 --> 00:34:05,942
Gordon: Oh bloody
hell, seriously.
660
00:34:05,978 --> 00:34:07,344
What's the secret?
661
00:34:07,379 --> 00:34:10,213
William: Talk quietly, loving.
And just rub nicely.
662
00:34:10,249 --> 00:34:12,949
Make her relax.
663
00:34:13,919 --> 00:34:15,685
Gordon: Damn.
William: Yeah, slowly.
664
00:34:15,721 --> 00:34:19,122
Gordon: Slowly.
(Bleep) (Bleep).
665
00:34:19,158 --> 00:34:20,791
William: Oh!
666
00:34:20,826 --> 00:34:23,794
Gordon: William, seriously?
I'm more concerned
about my rendang.
667
00:34:23,829 --> 00:34:25,462
She's not happy.
668
00:34:25,497 --> 00:34:26,863
William: Alright.
669
00:34:26,899 --> 00:34:30,967
(Coughing).
670
00:34:31,403 --> 00:34:33,870
Gordon: If she flicks
that tail, I'm covered
in (bleep) Ah.
671
00:34:33,906 --> 00:34:37,741
Bloody hell. Seriously?
672
00:34:37,776 --> 00:34:40,744
(Laughing).
673
00:34:40,779 --> 00:34:44,247
Gordon: Now I'm
covered in (bleep) William.
674
00:34:54,526 --> 00:34:56,159
(Coughing).
675
00:34:56,195 --> 00:34:59,362
And the local
buffalo are not impressed.
676
00:34:59,398 --> 00:35:01,565
If she flicks that tail,
I'm covered in (bleep) Ah.
677
00:35:01,600 --> 00:35:03,567
Bloody hell.
678
00:35:03,602 --> 00:35:05,602
(Laughing).
679
00:35:05,637 --> 00:35:07,404
Gordon: Seriously?
680
00:35:07,439 --> 00:35:12,409
My local mentor, chef wongso
seems to enjoy seeing me with
a literal (bleep) Eating grin.
681
00:35:12,444 --> 00:35:14,711
I love buffaloes,
let's get that clear.
682
00:35:14,746 --> 00:35:18,915
She was a little bit
nervous, so you know,
they're sensitive animals.
683
00:35:18,951 --> 00:35:21,017
She's not very happy.
684
00:35:21,053 --> 00:35:23,587
She lets a number two
out and then flicks it
right in my face.
685
00:35:23,622 --> 00:35:25,255
William: This is good.
This is the organic cosmetic.
686
00:35:25,290 --> 00:35:26,823
Gordon: Organic
cosmetic, thank you.
687
00:35:26,859 --> 00:35:28,558
(Laughing).
688
00:35:28,594 --> 00:35:31,428
But the yogurt is unique
and I need it for that
finishing touch,
689
00:35:31,463 --> 00:35:33,563
especially cause the dessert.
690
00:35:33,599 --> 00:35:37,667
William: This is the yogurt.
Gordon: Wow.
691
00:35:39,705 --> 00:35:42,506
William: See?
Gordon: Mmm.
692
00:35:42,541 --> 00:35:45,742
William: Little bit sour.
Gordon: Yeah, it's very sour.
693
00:35:45,777 --> 00:35:47,410
William: The curd
is more sturdy.
694
00:35:47,479 --> 00:35:49,412
Gordon: Mmm.
So it's set already like that.
695
00:35:49,448 --> 00:35:50,547
William: Set already.
696
00:35:50,582 --> 00:35:52,048
Gordon: In the bamboo.
William: In the bamboo.
697
00:35:52,084 --> 00:35:55,218
You can't do it with cow milk.
It doesn't set like this.
698
00:35:55,254 --> 00:35:56,920
Gordon: No.
699
00:35:56,955 --> 00:35:59,389
This yogurt is unique 'cause
it has a certain amount of
tartness unlike any other
700
00:35:59,424 --> 00:36:03,093
yogurt, traditionally served
with breakfast but I'm gonna
put it in a dessert and
701
00:36:03,128 --> 00:36:05,595
fingers crossed
blow their minds.
702
00:36:05,631 --> 00:36:08,131
Bit like the
buffalo did over me.
703
00:36:08,167 --> 00:36:12,102
Blow his (bleep).
Thank you.
704
00:36:12,938 --> 00:36:14,604
This is unique.
705
00:36:14,640 --> 00:36:16,606
William: This is very natural.
And pasteurized.
706
00:36:16,642 --> 00:36:19,776
Gordon: Thank you. Seriously.
707
00:36:19,811 --> 00:36:25,415
Fresh yogurt secured for my
dessert, we can all once again
focus on our main courses.
708
00:36:25,450 --> 00:36:29,419
The governor is due any
moment, so William wants
to make sure my head is
709
00:36:29,454 --> 00:36:32,455
out of the buffalo's ass
and back in the game.
710
00:36:32,991 --> 00:36:35,458
William: Make sure
again, caramelized.
711
00:36:35,494 --> 00:36:37,427
Gordon: Yes.
Yes, chef.
712
00:36:37,462 --> 00:36:38,628
Why you shouting at me?
713
00:36:38,664 --> 00:36:40,630
William: You wanna impress
the governor, caramelized.
714
00:36:40,666 --> 00:36:43,633
Gordon: Yes. Gotcha.
Thank you. Caramelized.
715
00:36:43,669 --> 00:36:44,901
Governor: Hello.
716
00:36:44,937 --> 00:36:46,136
William: Uh-oh.
717
00:36:46,171 --> 00:36:48,004
Gordon: I've never stirred a
curry so much in all my life.
718
00:36:48,040 --> 00:36:49,306
William:
Governor is coming in.
719
00:36:49,341 --> 00:36:51,308
Governor: Ah, hello.
Gordon: Hey, how are you sir?
720
00:36:54,179 --> 00:36:55,445
Gordon: I know,
he's just arriving.
721
00:36:55,480 --> 00:36:56,713
That's the governor's
family there, right?
722
00:36:56,748 --> 00:36:57,814
William: That's the family.
723
00:36:57,849 --> 00:37:00,350
You know, for the
wife, it's more important.
724
00:37:00,385 --> 00:37:02,385
Gordon: The governor's
wife is more important?
725
00:37:02,421 --> 00:37:04,054
William: She's the
parliament member.
726
00:37:04,089 --> 00:37:05,121
Gordon: Member of parliament?
727
00:37:05,157 --> 00:37:06,957
William: Yes.
Gordon: Is she really? Wow.
728
00:37:06,992 --> 00:37:08,291
Governor: Hello.
Gordon: Sir, how are you?
729
00:37:08,327 --> 00:37:09,659
Governor: We are
fine, thank you.
730
00:37:09,695 --> 00:37:10,727
William: How are you?
731
00:37:10,762 --> 00:37:12,195
Gordon: Pleasure,
nice to see you.
732
00:37:12,231 --> 00:37:14,331
William: Good to see you, it's
an honor to have you here.
733
00:37:14,366 --> 00:37:15,398
Gordon: Pleasure.
734
00:37:16,602 --> 00:37:19,102
Gordon: Beef rendang
and we have a fish
rendang as well, but.
735
00:37:19,137 --> 00:37:20,704
Governor: I think
it's very smell good.
736
00:37:20,739 --> 00:37:21,972
Gordon: Smells good?
Thank you.
737
00:37:22,007 --> 00:37:23,306
William: Yeah, make sure.
738
00:37:23,342 --> 00:37:26,276
Gordon: Dry, dry caramelized.
Caramelized. Ok. Gotcha.
739
00:37:26,311 --> 00:37:27,677
William: Caramelized, caramel.
Gordon: Gotcha.
740
00:37:30,015 --> 00:37:33,883
(Speaking native language).
741
00:37:33,919 --> 00:37:37,487
Gordon: Now the governor
and chef William are
speaking together.
742
00:37:37,522 --> 00:37:39,856
William: Don't be jealous.
I have an assistant.
743
00:37:39,891 --> 00:37:41,491
Very precious assistant.
744
00:37:41,526 --> 00:37:43,660
Gordon: Yeah, but he's gotta
taste both our rendangs, so.
745
00:37:43,695 --> 00:37:45,362
Thank you.
746
00:37:45,397 --> 00:37:46,630
William: Thank you, bye.
747
00:37:46,665 --> 00:37:48,665
Gordon: Thank you, sir.
748
00:37:48,700 --> 00:37:51,334
Hey. Excuse me.
You can't cheat.
749
00:37:51,370 --> 00:37:53,370
William: When the
governor want to help me.
750
00:37:53,405 --> 00:37:55,505
Gordon: Yes?
William: I can't say no.
751
00:37:56,908 --> 00:37:57,874
Gordon: Are you ready?
752
00:37:57,909 --> 00:37:59,643
William: I'm fine, I'm
just waiting for you.
753
00:37:59,678 --> 00:38:01,144
Gordon: Let's get that
governor happy, yes?
754
00:38:01,179 --> 00:38:02,846
William: Yes.
755
00:38:02,881 --> 00:38:05,582
Gordon: And fingers crossed,
being (bleep) On by a buffalo
may bring me good luck.
756
00:38:07,753 --> 00:38:10,220
Sun's out, good news
is, I can dry my hair.
757
00:38:10,255 --> 00:38:11,821
Do you have any gel, William?
758
00:38:11,857 --> 00:38:14,357
William: You
think I use hair gel?
759
00:38:14,393 --> 00:38:16,760
Gordon:
Legendary stud like you.
760
00:38:18,830 --> 00:38:23,600
By the way, I think that
one thing is missing to
please the governor.
761
00:38:23,635 --> 00:38:25,969
You tell me now, at the
end of the cook? Really?
762
00:38:26,004 --> 00:38:28,571
William: I bring
for you the durian.
763
00:38:28,607 --> 00:38:32,242
Gordon: Oh. Seriously?
764
00:38:32,277 --> 00:38:34,110
Don't do that to me, please.
765
00:38:34,146 --> 00:38:35,945
William: Let me help you
to please the governor.
766
00:38:35,981 --> 00:38:37,881
Gordon: With durian?
William: Yeah, with durian.
767
00:38:37,916 --> 00:38:38,915
Let me help.
768
00:38:38,950 --> 00:38:42,052
Gordon: Oh my god.
Oh please.
769
00:38:42,087 --> 00:38:43,887
William, honestly?
Seriously?
770
00:38:43,922 --> 00:38:47,557
I'm trying to finish my
rendang and you're munching,
chowing on a durian fruit,
771
00:38:47,592 --> 00:38:49,959
which literally
makes me feel sick.
772
00:38:49,995 --> 00:38:51,161
William: Mmm, good.
773
00:38:51,196 --> 00:38:53,229
Gordon: William, I'm trying
to finish my dishes, please.
774
00:38:53,265 --> 00:38:54,230
Honestly.
775
00:38:54,266 --> 00:38:55,565
William: Gordon.
Gordon: William.
776
00:38:55,600 --> 00:39:01,504
William: This is
fantastic. Love it.
777
00:39:01,540 --> 00:39:04,174
Gordon: Two minutes, governor.
Governor: No problem.
778
00:39:04,209 --> 00:39:05,675
Gordon: Just coming.
779
00:39:05,711 --> 00:39:07,911
As soon as William gets out
of the way, thank you sir.
780
00:39:07,946 --> 00:39:10,680
William: Ok.
Gordon: Thank you.
781
00:39:11,383 --> 00:39:14,684
Despite William's
durian distraction, I'm
in the home stretch and
782
00:39:14,720 --> 00:39:17,020
focused on the task in hand.
783
00:39:17,055 --> 00:39:21,524
If all goes well, maybe
the governor will appoint
me secretary of taste.
784
00:39:21,560 --> 00:39:23,293
Ok, boom.
Sorry about the wait.
785
00:39:23,328 --> 00:39:24,627
William: Breathing.
786
00:39:24,663 --> 00:39:28,798
Gordon: You happy?
Boom. Right, good luck.
787
00:39:28,834 --> 00:39:30,834
Let's go.
788
00:39:30,869 --> 00:39:32,736
Time to let my
rendang do the talking.
789
00:39:32,771 --> 00:39:35,472
I just hope our guests
like what it has to say.
790
00:39:45,951 --> 00:39:49,119
Learning all about this
exquisite cuisine.
791
00:39:49,154 --> 00:39:53,123
Hopefully, my version of
rendang with grilled strip
loin and finished with palm
792
00:39:53,158 --> 00:39:57,427
sugar will really stand up
to that of chef wongso's.
793
00:39:57,462 --> 00:39:58,995
It all comes down to this.
794
00:39:59,030 --> 00:40:01,197
Thank you so much
for your Patience.
795
00:40:01,233 --> 00:40:02,465
My beef rendang.
796
00:40:02,501 --> 00:40:03,600
Governor: Thank you.
797
00:40:03,635 --> 00:40:06,002
Gordon: Sir, just pass
that down there, thank you.
798
00:40:06,638 --> 00:40:10,273
Governor: This is William,
the Gordon, yeah.
799
00:40:11,910 --> 00:40:13,209
Gordon: Governor,
please be seated.
800
00:40:13,245 --> 00:40:15,178
First of all, my
apologies for being late.
801
00:40:15,213 --> 00:40:16,312
Governor: No problem,
no problem.
802
00:40:16,348 --> 00:40:17,714
Gordon: That was my fault,
not king William's.
803
00:40:17,749 --> 00:40:21,384
But, I've done
rendang two ways today.
804
00:40:21,420 --> 00:40:26,523
A beautiful beef rendang and
there is a fish rendang with
a local caught bonito.
805
00:40:27,292 --> 00:40:30,293
And then from there, I did
the samba with the eggplant,
806
00:40:30,328 --> 00:40:37,066
fresh buffalo yogurt
with some sticky rice
and durian fruit. So.
807
00:40:38,670 --> 00:40:41,638
William: This is
the beef rendang.
808
00:40:41,673 --> 00:40:44,474
And then that one is the
fern curry with cream.
809
00:40:44,509 --> 00:40:46,676
This is the grilled prawn.
810
00:40:50,482 --> 00:40:53,583
Enjoy. Please, can't wait
to hear your feedback.
811
00:40:53,618 --> 00:40:54,484
Governor: Thank you.
812
00:40:54,519 --> 00:40:56,986
Gordon: Thank you
so much. Thank you.
813
00:40:57,022 --> 00:41:02,292
I'm always nervous, whether
it's being judged by critics,
my parents or even the
814
00:41:02,327 --> 00:41:05,995
governor, you know,
there's not a dish yet in
my career that I'm 100%,
815
00:41:06,031 --> 00:41:07,630
that one's in the bag.
816
00:41:07,666 --> 00:41:10,867
No, it's never in the bag,
because there's so many
complex flavors here with
817
00:41:10,902 --> 00:41:13,136
Indonesian cuisine, it's
not as straightforward
as you think,
818
00:41:13,171 --> 00:41:16,406
so, fingers crossed it'll
all be down to the flavor.
819
00:41:17,509 --> 00:41:18,875
So they looked happy.
820
00:41:18,910 --> 00:41:20,677
But your rendang was
way darker than mine.
821
00:41:20,712 --> 00:41:23,246
William: No, no,
yours is just right.
822
00:41:23,281 --> 00:41:25,648
Doesn't matter.
They will be surprised.
823
00:41:25,684 --> 00:41:31,221
Don't worry, I can guarantee
that this is the first time
they have a foreign star chef
824
00:41:31,256 --> 00:41:34,057
cooking rendang
in the right way.
825
00:41:34,092 --> 00:41:36,459
Gordon: That's a high power
table up there, isn't it?
826
00:41:38,263 --> 00:41:40,663
Do you ever get nervous
when you cook for esteemed
guests like that?
827
00:41:40,699 --> 00:41:43,800
William: Well, I
know sometimes.
828
00:41:43,835 --> 00:41:46,569
Not all the time.
Let's just go to see.
829
00:41:46,605 --> 00:41:50,206
Gordon: Ok. Go easy
on the young man.
830
00:41:50,242 --> 00:41:52,108
If this goes pear shaped,
I don't have to come back
831
00:41:52,143 --> 00:41:53,776
and spend a couple
of months with you.
832
00:41:53,812 --> 00:41:55,278
Ok? Yes?
833
00:41:55,313 --> 00:41:57,847
William: Would be good.
Gordon: Good luck. Right.
834
00:42:05,423 --> 00:42:08,091
Governor: Oh, I want to
ask to my family.
835
00:42:11,129 --> 00:42:14,264
(Speaking native language).
836
00:42:15,634 --> 00:42:17,734
Governor: Oh you know,
lama banget.
837
00:42:17,769 --> 00:42:19,769
William: Lama banget.
Is delicious.
838
00:42:19,804 --> 00:42:22,705
Gordon: Oh delicious,
lama banget, delicious.
839
00:42:22,741 --> 00:42:24,607
William: Lama banget
is delicious.
840
00:42:24,643 --> 00:42:25,942
Gordon: My rendang?
841
00:42:25,977 --> 00:42:29,279
Governor: You can see my
plate is clean and clear.
842
00:42:29,314 --> 00:42:30,647
Gordon: That is a great sign.
843
00:42:30,682 --> 00:42:35,952
(Speaking native language).
844
00:42:35,987 --> 00:42:38,187
William: Good, they like it.
Governor: You see, you see.
845
00:42:38,223 --> 00:42:40,657
Gordon: Wow.
Ok. Thank you.
846
00:42:40,692 --> 00:42:44,394
Gordon: Both William and I got
a lama banget from our guests
847
00:42:44,429 --> 00:42:46,963
and I have to say it's one
of my favorite reviews ever.
848
00:42:46,998 --> 00:42:49,699
I'm so happy, I could
eat an entire durian.
849
00:42:49,734 --> 00:42:51,267
How was the eggplant?
850
00:42:51,303 --> 00:42:56,272
(Speaking native language).
851
00:42:58,276 --> 00:43:00,143
Gordon: I've had an
amazing week, governor.
852
00:43:00,178 --> 00:43:04,013
Madam, family. Baby.
853
00:43:05,016 --> 00:43:06,816
I look forward to
seeing you in London, yes?
854
00:43:06,851 --> 00:43:08,618
God bless to you
and the family.
855
00:43:08,653 --> 00:43:09,786
Thank you so much.
856
00:43:09,821 --> 00:43:11,487
Governor: Yeah, ok, ok.
Gordon: Thank you.
857
00:43:11,523 --> 00:43:13,056
William is no ordinary chef.
858
00:43:13,091 --> 00:43:16,326
He's in his mid-70,
sixth decade of experience.
859
00:43:16,361 --> 00:43:19,762
He's a wanted commodity
with Indonesian cuisine,
860
00:43:19,798 --> 00:43:22,532
he has an encyclopedia
from a to z that is
breath taking.
861
00:43:22,567 --> 00:43:24,767
He understands 200
versions of rendang.
862
00:43:24,803 --> 00:43:30,139
What a wealth of experience
and one that can only make
me a much better chef.
863
00:43:30,175 --> 00:43:31,975
Can I just say, "thank you"?
864
00:43:32,010 --> 00:43:33,576
William: Oh, my pleasure.
865
00:43:33,612 --> 00:43:36,846
Gordon: I thought I knew
something about Indonesia
cuisine before I got here.
866
00:43:36,881 --> 00:43:39,315
But you taught me from the
ground up, so thank you.
867
00:43:39,351 --> 00:43:40,216
William: It was my pleasure.
868
00:43:40,251 --> 00:43:41,484
Gordon: You take
care of yourself.
869
00:43:41,519 --> 00:43:42,919
When are you gonna retire?
870
00:43:42,954 --> 00:43:44,454
William: Never.
Gordon: Never.
871
00:43:44,489 --> 00:43:46,456
William: Never.
Gordon: That's
got me thinking.
872
00:43:46,491 --> 00:43:49,225
William: Yes.
Gordon: Take care.
873
00:43:50,662 --> 00:43:54,597
Wow, this past week in
west sumatra, what an
incredible experience.
874
00:43:54,599 --> 00:43:56,666
And talk about being
pushed to your limits.
875
00:43:56,701 --> 00:44:00,870
Now, I may not be able
to perfect a rendang
in seven days,
876
00:44:00,905 --> 00:44:03,906
but honestly, I'm pretty
happy with what I did.
877
00:44:03,942 --> 00:44:07,543
Exploring this island's
fertile landscapes and oceans,
878
00:44:07,579 --> 00:44:09,712
I've discovered a
rich complex cuisine
879
00:44:09,748 --> 00:44:12,515
packed full of
flavor and spices.
880
00:44:12,550 --> 00:44:16,085
I've been humbled by
incredible hospitality
and learned traditions
881
00:44:16,121 --> 00:44:19,155
of a food history that
go back centuries.
882
00:44:19,190 --> 00:44:21,891
Now, onto my next adventure.
883
