GADO-GADO
Gado-gado is one of the foods derived from Betawi in the form of vegetables
boiled and mixed together, with peanut or peanut sauce and mashed with egg
slices and in general many who add boiled potatoes that have been mashed for
sauce Gado gado boiled potatoes cooked together with peanut spice then topped
with fried onions. A little bit of fried chips or crackers (some also wear
shrimp crackers) are also added. Gado-gado can be eaten like a salad with
peanut sauce / dressing, but can also be eaten with white rice or sometimes
also served with lontong.
History
The statement that gado gado is a typical Indonesian food is not wrong. But if
you want to see more, you will get more information that gado gado is a typical
food that comes from the City of Jakarta precisely is a typical food of Betawi
people. Many certainly have felt the gado gado in all corners of Indonesia.
Both from the western tip of Indonesia to the East, gado gado has been sold
like misalnyda fried rice with maybe a slightly different taste because it has
adjusted each area where gado gado was
sold. But if judging further and taken the red thread, such as the history of ulam
rice where rice is eaten only with a mixture of basic vegetables, it can be
concluded also that indeed Betawi people consume more types of vegetables from
colonial times first. Although if viewed from the language used by both the
original Betawi people, there has never been a word gado gado in its history.
The word gado gado itself is more often interpreted in general as a mixture, a
combination of several types of things, mix and all things that are different
but blended into one. I do not know which is first, called gado gado which
means the mixture is new food gado gado this appears and given the name gado
gado or this typical food that first appeared then the parable for all mixed
called gado gado. Because a lot of words also use gado gado as a companion.
Call it for example there is a title gado gado book that is used in educational
terms by some children who mean that the book is a notebook for all kinds of
subjects and other examples.
Or
also there is a opinion like Gado-gado even become a term for all sorts of
which is a mixture of various elements. For example, the language of gado-gado
to say language mix-up. Gado-gado marriage is for two brides who have different
ethnic, religious or racial backgrounds. Gado-gado may also be a term people
say Bhinneka Tunggal Ika or religious.
We can only estimate the origin of the gado-gado name. Javanese usually use the
term digado for food that can be eaten without rice. Gado-gado, though often eaten
with lontong, is rarely eaten with rice. When eaten with lontong, gado-gado is
indeed a meal in itself, not a side dish. In Java there is a food called gadon
because it can be eaten without rice.

NASI KUNING
Nasi
Kuning or sometimes called Nasi Kunyit is an Indonesian fragrant rice dish
cooked with coconut milk and turmeric, hence the name nasi kuning (yellow
rice).
Ingredients
and Serving
The addition of turmeric and coconut milk, sometimes also includes pandan and
lemongrass during the rice cooking and steaming process, has contributed to a
tempting colour, pleasant fragrance, soft texture and a flavourful taste of the
yellow rice.
Nasi kuning is usually served with a variety of side dishes such as shredded
omelette, serundeng (relish of grated coconut and spices), urap (vegetable in
shredded coconut dressing), teri kacang (fried anchovy and peanuts), sambal
goreng (fried tempeh and potato caramelized in spicy sauce), ayam goreng
(Javanese-style fried chicken), balado udang (shrimp in chilli), or perkedel

fried cow's lung, beef and seafood. It is common to serve nasi kuning with
kerupuk udang (shrimp cracker) or emping chips and a decoratively cut cucumber
and tomato.

In Indonesian culture, nasi kuning has favorable symbolic meanings. The
yellow-colored rice is perceived to looks like a pile of gold, so it is often
served in festive occasions; including parties, housewarmings, welcoming guests
and opening ceremonies as a symbol of good fortune, prosperity, wealth and
dignity.
Nasi kuning is quite widespread and commonly found in Indonesian culture. It
can be found from Java to Sumatra, Bali and Sulawesi. However, it is most
strongly associated with Javanese and Minahasa traditions. In Java, nasi kuning
might come in the form of a cone called a tumpeng and is usually eaten during
special events. The top of the tumpeng is customarily given to the most senior
person in attendance. One of the most popular nasi kuning variant is came from
Manado of North Sulawesi, which employs cakalang (skipjack tuna).
