Gado-Gado Boplo

Why Gado-Gado Boplo is special ?

Gado-gado, cooked mixed vegetable with peanut sauce, is a classic Indonesian dish and easily found everywhere. However, Gado-Gado Boplo serves a superb version with cashew nuts instead of peanuts for the sauce.

Gado-gado lontong serves rice cakes as a side. Beside gado-gado, menu items with the cashew nut sauce include ketoprak (with tofu and rice noodle) and karedok (with fresh raw vegetable). Worthy desserts are the home-made ice creams with local fruit flavors like avocado or jackfruits. Some branches have live music on weekends.

Es cendol (green worm-like jelly, enjoyed with coconut milk, brown sugar, and ice) - one of my fav Indonesian desserts/drinks. Sweet and savoury at the same time, with wobbly little green worms.
