I had heard that Indonesians like to combine words together, taking a few words and joining it into a single. This goes for one of their food, Batagor which really means Bakso Tahu Goreng. I have read that its a food known from Bandung in Indonesia.

Its similar to the Yong Tau Foo… where they mix either fish, chicken or prawns into a paste as filling in the tofu before being steamed, then coated with a barter for frying. Once fried, its then covered with a peanut sauce plus kecap manis!

Taken hot, its really nice! They would usually chop it up and you can choose from the many styles they made it. I paid about Rp5,000 per piece (about RM2.00). The tofu is soft, the paste is yummy and the combination of the peanut sauce and kecap manis is really good!

One thing is for sure, thank god we don’t have the habit of merging words of food together in Malaysia, otherwise char koay teow = chakote, asam laksa = aksa, cendul pulut tapai = cenpupai, goreng pisang = gorsang… hehehe… I cannot imagine that happening .
