Gado Gado

Phoebie SG

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.

nightzip SG

what is under the crackers? fermented veges? Rolling Eyes

i never eat b4.

Phoebie SG

how's Gado Gado in Indonesia like? I saw the pics it's like the Indonesian version is more healthy with more vegetables Very Happy

Phoebie SG

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.

Superbus SG

Can say it's healthier since the vege portion is a lot, and I mean A LOT.

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.

icic Very Happy

Hello Kitty SG

heard of it in dick lee's song b4.

bt wat izzit???

Superbus SG

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.

Hello Kitty SG

wat izit? a side dish or wat?

whr to get?

Phoebie SG

some malay food stalls. Tofu goreng is quite nice also, but more oily.

FireIce SG

lau pasat one is quite good

i like tauhu telor

Phoebie SG

yah tauhu telor quite nice

erm is tauhu telor and tofu goreng same?

Superbus SG

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.

Phoebie SG

icic cause that time I tell my Husband to order a plate of tofu goreng and some dish like this

is presented.

Superbus SG

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...

Mistake corrected as pointed out by nightzip. Thank you.
