When a spoonful of lotek enters our mouth, peanut sauce immediately felt on the tongue. The flavors are perfectly absorbed between the spinach and chickpeas that become the filling of lotek. Its chips are really crispy so it makes sound kriuk kriuk, very fit with its nut sauce. Likewise for its gado-gado. Thick peanut sauce melts together with fresh vegetables which become the filling of this gado-gado. Finally, a large portion of it is finished. Really really wareg (Javanese word for full)!
