Gado Gado
-
quite like to eat gado gado when in primary school for 50 cents a plate, it is quite nice especially the prawn crackers dipped with peanut sauce. -
One of my favourites, but sadly, none in Singapore, even the Indonesian establishments, comes close to those found in Indonesia itself, IMO.
-
what is under the crackers? fermented veges?
i never eat b4. -
how's Gado Gado in Indonesia like? I saw the pics it's like the Indonesian version is more healthy with more vegetablesOriginally posted by Superbus:One of my favourites, but sadly, none in Singapore, even the Indonesian establishments, comes close to those found in Indonesia itself, IMO.

erm if didn't remember wrongly from what I eat during primary school days, my school canteen's version is less unhealthy with lots of peanut bits gravy, some cucumber slices, beansprout, tofu and prawn crackers.Originally posted by nightzip:what is under the crackers? fermented veges?

Can say it's healthier since the vege portion is a lot, and I mean A LOT.Originally posted by Phoebie:how's Gado Gado in Indonesia like? I saw the pics it's like the Indonesian version is more healthy with more vegetables
The difference between them is the way they prepare the peanut gravy. In Indonesia, the Gado-Gado is prepared freshly, using the stone grinder (batu giling as it is known), right in front of your eyes. Thus bringing out the flavour of the dish and the spices used. It is also much more spicy. -

heard of it in dick lee's song b4.
bt wat izzit??? -
It's a traditional Indonesian dish with lontong, boiled potatoes, fried tofu, long beans, beansprouts - tossed in spicy peanut gravy and topped with fish crackers.
The local version however, has the gravy poured over the main ingredients, then topped with crackers. -

yah tauhu telor quite nice
erm is tauhu telor and tofu goreng same? -
Tahu Telur and Tahu Goreng are different, although the gravy are similar.
Tahu Telur, as the name suggest, is deep-fried tofu dipped in egg batter. Tahu Goreng is simply just deep-fried tofu. -
icic cause that time I tell my Husband to order a plate of tofu goreng and some dish like thisOriginally posted by Superbus:Tahu Telur and Tahu Goreng are different, although the gravy are similar.

is presented. -
Sheesh. I made a mistake.
Tahu Goreng and Tahu Telur do not have similar-looking gravy. In fact, Tahu Goreng is served with peanut gravy poured over it, similar to Gado-Gado. Tahu Telur is served with a sweet soya sauce poured over it.
The image you showed looked quite confusing to me. The tofu is tall and looked as if it was deep-fried in egg batter. However, the sides of the plate looks like some kind of a peanut gravy. But I'm sure it is Tahu Goreng.
Tahu Goreng normally looks like this...
Tahu Telur normally looks like this....jpg)
Mistake corrected as pointed out by nightzip. Thank you. -

so can i say that when i dunno which is which, by seeing if it uses peanut gravy or soy sauce, we know its what dish?Originally posted by Phoebie:Tahu Goreng served with peanut bits gravy, while Tahu Telur is served with sweet soy sauce

Not just the gravy, but the tofu itself. If it's fried in egg, it's Tahu Telur.Originally posted by nightzip:so can i say that when i dunno which is which, by seeing if it uses peanut gravy or soy sauce, we know its what dish? -
yup you canOriginally posted by nightzip:so can i say that when i dunno which is which, by seeing if it uses peanut gravy or soy sauce, we know its what dish? actually the tofu in Tauhu Telur is like a well shaped and coated with eggs whisked and deep fried

Ohh...yah, telur stands for egg in malay.

last question:
Tahu Goreng and Tahu Telur do not have similar-looking gravy. In fact, Tahu Goreng is served with peanut gravy poured over it, similar to Gado-Gado. Tahu Goreng is served with a sweet soya sauce poured over it.
Any chances of a Tahu Telur not using the sweet source but the peanut gravy?

and in that case, its still called Tahu Telur right? since its fried in egg batter? -
In fact there is a variation of Tahu Telur. Instead of the normal sweet soya sauce (kecap manis), a gravy similar to Rojak gravy is poured.Originally posted by nightzip:last question:
