Photo of the Day: Gorengan
Lori Baltazar features favorite Jakartan street foods in her latest blog post, one of which is gorengan, literally "fried things." The golden offerings of this gorengan stall included tahu (tofu), tempe (bean curd), pisang (bananas), singkong (cassava), and ubi (sweet potato).
And now I add "Jakarta" to the list of places I must visit before I die.

With food like that, you'll be visiting Jakarta *immediately* before you die... of congestive heart failure.

Lori's not dead yet, so I think I'll be okay.

Buckethead seems to not be a fan of fried food. Dude, I'm still alive.

These are available in both Malaysia and Jakarta, except in Malaysia, fried tofu is considered more of a savoury meal than a snack, so it's not likely to be sold next to fried bananas (pisang goreng).
We also have fried jackfruits, fried fish balls, and fried chicken gizzards (they taste a lot better than they sound).
