Check Out the Menus for Portland Indonesian Restaurant Gado Gado | Eater Portland

"Opening this May in Northeast Portland’s Hollywood District, the Pisha-Dufflys are turning their wildly popular pop-up into a permanent Indonesian-Chinese restaurant that draws on Thomas Pisha-Duffly’s childhood in his half-Chinese mother’s Indonesian kitchen and his years cooking in New England. The menu mixes playful snacks and salads—like a pork-and-blood-sausage corn dog served with pickled chili, sweet soy, and “hoisinaise,” and a banana-leaf-smoked duck salad with citrus, lime leaf, and basil—with a long list of rice and noodle dishes, including a nasi goreng with house Chinese sausage and Dungeness crab (upgradable with an omelet topped with uni butter and American cheese), rendang spiced beef stew, a bakso noodle soup, and char keow teow. Chef’s specialties lean theatrical, from duck-and-foie wontons with mushrooms and dates to a whole duck roasted in banana leaf, a grilled stuffed quail with Dr. Pepper glaze, and an elaborate rijsttafel of aromatic rice, curries, sambals, and sides. The bar features lemongrass-laden gin cocktails, turmeric whiskey highballs, cocktails with fresh mango, jasmine tea, and pandan, an arak drink with jasmine tea and lemon oleo saccharine, and a booze-free “wonder juice” with turmeric, tamarind, and ginger." - Brooke Jackson-Glidden
