This is my multi-racial dinner. This dish's name is Gado-Gado. When my mother told me more about this dish, I found out this was actually a Indonesian Traditional Dish. Since, I contemn vegetables, I declined this dish at first, but the moment I started to eat it, I savoured it until the last bit of the dish.
