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).
My mom used to make tons of these, and they really do taste excellent, unfortunately it's not the healthiest meal in the world.
No... trust the Chinese to take something essentially healthy and douse it with a good measure of lard ;) Then again, my Russian friends do that too!
