English translation:Gado-gado, the Indonesian salad is my favourite dish
Explanation:
There is no translation fo gado-gado into English actually.... because it is really a specific Indonesian dish. You can say mixed salad but then gado-gado uses beancurd/taufoo which is not a vegetable. I personally would call it Gado-gado, then explain it is Indonesian peanut sauced salad...
The vegies used in gado-gado is totally different from that used in normal salads.....
yumyum..... makes me hungry....

neutral  Oscar Rompis: Mas Louis mungkin benar bila konsumsinya terbatas bagi Indonesians, tapi bila untuk non-Indonesians sesuai keinginan penanya di "Inggris" kan maka secara umum yah itulah mungkin karena Taufoo banyak terdapat di Indo, setuju Mas langsung hungry...

  -> Taufoo is wellknown in the western world as well. Especially in Melbourne, Oz

agree  R.J.Chadwick (X): Yes, keep the Indonesian expression and explain what it refers to in brackets -- "rujak" is also a mixed salad (of fruit) but not at all the same thing as gado-gado.
