Street Food

With the myriad of food and beverages available in Indonesia, it is no surprise that a large number of locals eat out. However, it is not the restaurants that benefit. The local food scene relies heavily on street food.

Indonesians tend to savor the delicious meals offered by the ubiquitous street vendors at all hours, including breakfast, lunch and dinner.

Street food in general is understood to be a quick meal sold by vendors from push carts, baskets, small stalls and at times, even from a store. Customers can gain affinity to the food they consume due to ample opportunities to observe how the food is prepared or cooked, unlike the food served in restaurants.
