Gado-gado, the Indonesian salad is my favourite dish

There is no translation fo gado-gado into English actually.... because it is really a specific Indonesian dish. You can say mixed salad but then gado-gado uses beancurd/taufoo which is not a vegetable. I personally would call it Gado-gado, then explain it is Indonesian peanut sauced salad...
The vegies used in gado-gado is totally different from that used in normal salads.....
yumyum..... makes me hungry....

Peer comment(s):
neutral Oscar Rompis : Mas Louis mungkin benar bila konsumsinya terbatas bagi Indonesians, tapi bila untuk non-Indonesians sesuai keinginan penanya di "Inggris" kan maka secara umum yah itulah mungkin karena Taufoo banyak terdapat di Indo, setuju Mas langsung hungry...

Taufoo is wellknown in the western world as well. Especially in Melbourne, Oz
agree R.J.Chadwick (X) : Yes, keep the Indonesian expression and explain what it refers to in brackets -- "rujak" is also a mixed salad (of fruit) but not at all the same thing as gado-gado.

Yep, 'Rojak' in Spore & Malaysia.... from fruit +taoge+chinese donut

agree Chris Rowson (X) : yes, it is gado-gado - many people know the name or even the dish, and Louis´s explanations are good for those who don´t.

Gado-Gado

Mungkin kalimat dalam Bahasa Inggris terbaca sedemikian: "Mixed vegetable salad is my favorite food". Semoga.
