Selling Indonesian food on the sidewalk

Selling Indonesian food on the sidewalk

Rangin Seller on Sidewalk

There are many sidewalk stalls in Indonesia. They are called “5 foot sidewalk stalls” because they sell on sidewalk (known as Pedagang Kaki lima: or 5 foot) where the width is 5 feet long. So, we don’t need to come in a restaurant or food stall to fill in our stomachs. If our pocket is in crisis, come and try food in the sidewalk. They usually sell on a small tent or pushcart on sidewalk city. They have unique ways to attract people. For example, a meat ball seller strikes the meat ball pan or a Indonesian chicken noodle seller makes sounds by bamboos. Sure, it will not be a boring culinary tourism.
