Kaki Lima*

Very popular in Indonesia, specially in the island of Java is the Kaki Lima.
Men, who push a cart to sell their treats.
The men also make a distinct sound according to what they are selling.
There is also a schedule to the menu too.



These carts are fully functioning kitchens. They have propane powered stoves to keep the soup/noodles piping hot.

The only caveat is that they do not have running water.

So, unless you're Indonesian or have been living in Indonesia and have a conditioned system, I can't recommend them. I've heard that they are really really good.

*Kaki Lima = Legs 5. On the cart 3, 2 wheels and a back support leg. On the peddler, 2.

Martabak Manis

My absolute favorite late night treat.
It's basically a large 12" pancake , topped with condensed milk, butter, cheese, peanuts and chocolate sprinkles, it's then folded over.
It probably weighs in a 5 pounds.



You can purchase one at a street stall or if its an established place a restaurant.
The most expensive street stall variant will cost Rp 20000.00 or US$ 2.50.
It's too irresistible not try a steaming hot piece right there.
They are so large you are guaranteed to have some left over for breakfast.
