What drives the calories

Peanut sauce gives most of the fat, because peanuts are high in fat.
The fish dumplings are made with tapioca flour, so they add carbs as well as protein.
Batagor is deep-fried, so it has more fat than steamed siomay.

How to make it lighter

Ask for less peanut sauce (bumbu sedikit), or take it on the side.
Choose more cabbage and bitter gourd and fewer potato pieces.
Choose steamed siomay instead of fried batagor.
