About batagor

Batagor is mackerel-and-tapioca paste stuffed into tofu and wonton skins, deep-fried and served under peanut sauce. Frying is the difference from siomay: the oil soaked up and the sauce make up a large share. Built from its parts: batagor in the proportions of a resepkoki.id Bandung version (mackerel, tapioca, wonton skins, tofu) scaled to five pieces, an allowance for frying oil soaked up, and about four tablespoons of peanut sauce — from TKPI and USDA values.

A rough number for the dishes you save — only if you want one.

Off unless you turn them on

Calories in PlateDiary are off unless you turn them on. Switch them on and, when PlateDiary AI reads your photo of the table, each dish gets one rough “~” number. Accept it or change it; a number you correct is remembered for that dish. With Calories off, the app looks exactly as it did before.

A read sends small pictures of the cut-out dishes, with the place's name as a hint — never the table photo, faces or your location. Calorie numbers never go to analytics, and nothing is written to a health app. PlateDiary AI starts with free tries; here is how it works.
