liz also made a gado-gado version for rose!

yeah!!!

a f&%#ing PRETTY and CUTE version... taste will be decided on tomorrow! but she DID deliver on the blanching on the veg and the decorations!!

beans and egg decorated with seaweed flowers!

 

egg with bean  sprouts and seaweed decoration! how  cute!

rice (sticky yeah) with a seaweed flower!

the name "gado gado" is I think from Surinam.  i think "gado" means God. which means that the dish is called "god god" so it must be delish! But how "petjil" got it's name - which is also vegetables and peanut sauce- is a mystery to me. What I DO know is that there is Saté sauce and completely different Peanut Sauce and those get confused a lot in the Netherlands.
