Gado-Gado
For you guys who is never eaten this kind of food, and want to know what "Gado-gado" actually is. It is slightly Indonesian salad made from boiled veges served with peanut sauce. Generally, it is always be served with kerupuk (chips) and boiled egg too.
Lotek
Unlike Gado-Gado, Lotel is only can be found in Yogya and central java generally and it is very well known as a main menu for lunch. The uniqueness from this food is from the sauce and the smell. The sauce usully smells strong on your nose because of it contains of galingale, lime leave and a bit shrimp paste. Moreover, when you order for Lotek, the seller often asks you for how the level of spicy is.
