Gado-gado = salad-thing with peanut sauce
...hayang sop buntut = want an ox-tail soup. (Well, 'hayang' is Sundanese for 'want', but 'sop buntut' is also Indonesian.)

Pak = Dad (short for Bapak, which is 'father' but also means 'mister' or 'sir')
Tahu, nggak. Di Indonesia... = Did you know, in Indonesia... ('Tahu' also means 'tofu'! But not in this context. 'Nggak' is kinda like 'ain't', and the 'isn't' is 'tidak'.)
