One of the most popular Jakarta street food dishes is gado-gado. For my full Jakarta travel and food guide, check this out: Gado gado is an Indonesian dish that youll find on nearly every street corner throughout Jakarta - its one of the most common street food dishes in the city. For this video, I happen to be near Citywalk Mall, just south of downtown, and right along Jalan Karet Pasar Baru Timur 5, theres a nice row of street food stalls that set up during lunchtime hours. Theres a lot of good food to eat, but I decided to go straight for a plate of gado-gado. After taking a seat on a plastic stool, I ordered a plate and he got busy making it. He first made the peanut sauce, peanut sauce is one of the most important components of gado gado. He added some peanut paste, some sugar, and water, and then ground up some chili and garlic to add to it. Once the consistency was right, he added in handfuls of pre cooked vegetables and rice cakes, and mixed it all up into a salad. Gado gado is technically a salad, but its definitely not a light and fluffy salad, but its a dense and hearty salad, with plenty of carbs and starches, and made rich with the peanut sauce. What I love about gado-gado is the mix of ingredients all wrapped up in the thick and nutty peanut sauce. While the sauce can be a bit too sweet sometimes, the this version wasnt too sweet, but nicely balanced with chilies and garlic, and a good mixture of vegetables. Gado-gado is one of the most popular Jakarta street food dishes, and highly enjoyed this plate in downtown Jakarta. Price - 10, 000 IDR (0. 76)

Mark Wiens when I was growing in Thailand I never think of how street foods are served, but at my age now, I realize that street foods arent serve with any thought of cleanliness. For example how clean is that stone block hes using & the plates & utensils used, or even how clean are his hands when touches those veggies. Ive asked on your other video if youve ever gotten sick or gotten some kind of parasite.

My mother-in-law lives down the street just around the corner from there. We go to that mall when we visit for the free wi-fi. Theres a number of Indonesian cuisine restaurants inside now as well as chains like the bakery. Down the street to the right, towards the mosque there are a number of street food options including a weekday soup shop run by a family that leases space in my mothers home.

Mark, you are a real food warrior, and you are brave enough to eat at places where the hygiene is sub-standard. Just so that you don't end up for a long stay in a hospital, may I suggest that you get vaccinated against all forms of Hepatitis. We want to watch your videos for a long time to come.

I love Gado Gado, its one of my favorite Indonesian dishes. I have however never seen Gado Gado with noodles. From my experience, its different vegetables, and maybe potatoes, and a boiled egg and tofu or tempeh, topped with a really tasty peanut butter sauce.

Gado-Gado in Jakarta is different from Gado-Gado in East Java. In here (East Java) we call Gado-Gado Jakarta as Rujak. you should try East Java food as well. Well, thanks for make my mouth always watery everytime i watch ur vlog, mark

Dia menikmati jajanan pingggir jalan, sementara kita dengan bangganya makan di resto dari luar, yang menunya cuma ayam yang digoreng, cuma dikasih saos cabe sama sedikit nasi di KFC, dengan harga yang sangat mahal.
