• Batagor, an abbreviation of Bakso Tahu Goreng (Fried Tofu Meatball), is an iconic food from Sundanese culture and quite popular in South East Asia. Batagor consist of fried fish dumpling and served with sweet or spicy peanut sauce. Various type of fish can be used to make Batagor, but usually minced tenggiri (spanish mackerel) is the common one. After being minced, the fish is made into a paste then stuffed into a tofu, then deep-fried in palm oil.
• Cuanki, is an iconic food from Bandung that made from fish, beef, tapioca flour, and other flavor enhancers served with a strong broth containing meatballs, fried or boiled tofu, added with a sprinkling of fried onions and celery leaves. Cuanki is a type of dry Siomay ; an Indonesian version of steamed fish dumpling. There are many similarities between Cuanki, Siomay, and Batagor, since they are all basically fish-based dish. However, the main difference between them is on how they are cooked. Cuanki is boiled, Siomay is steamed, and Batagor is fried. All of them are delicious food and certainly a must-have when visiting Bandung.
