Brilio.net - Usually, rice stalls are set up in kiosks or street stalls. However, there is a food stall in Surabaya that has a unique concept because its location is in a narrow alley. The uniqueness of this trading place has succeeded in attracting the attention of many people.
Through the YouTube channel Hobby Makan, a simple stall owned by a middle-aged woman named Bu Tin is seen. Different from stalls in general, various dishes are sold in a boarding room. To reach the location of this stall, you need to walk along a fairly narrow alley.
In addition to being known for having a concept of a warung in a boarding house, the food sold is also affordable and looks delicious. What do you think the portrait of the warung in the boarding house looks like? Here is brilio.net reported from the YouTube channel Hobby Makan, Friday (7/3).
1. This stall can be called a hidden gem, because its location is in a narrow alley.
2. Coming out of the alley, the video owner found a row of boarding rooms. Bu Tin's rice stall was in the room at the very end.
3. Mrs. Tin deliberately rented a boarding room to be used as a stall. It seems that she also sleeps in the same place, seen from the mattress and pillows next to the row of sales tables.
4. It is known that Mrs. Tin rents two boarding rooms. One she uses as a kitchen to cook food, the other room to sell her wares and also as her room to rest.
5. The price of one portion at this stall is relatively cheap. One portion is only Rp10 thousand with a menu of chicken, catfish, and liver and gizzard.
6. Meanwhile, if you pay IDR 12 thousand, buyers will get a food package plus iced tea. Because the price is pocket-friendly, this stall is quite crowded with buyers even though its location is hidden.
7. This is Mrs. Tin, the owner of this minimalist rice stall. She, who comes from Nganjuk, East Java, has been selling rice in her boarding house for approximately 25 years.
8. It is said that while selling, Mrs. Tin often shared free food with her boarding house neighbors. Those who lived in tight economic conditions were often given free food by Mrs. Tin.
9. Hearing the story, the owner of the YouTube channel was touched. He immediately intended to buy all the food in Bu Tin's stall. He gave Rp1 million 500 thousand to Bu Tin and treated everyone who passed by the stall.
1. Choose a menu with large portions.
Some stalls provide side dishes with quite large portions. Choosing a menu such as nasi rames or lalapan with additional sambal and free lalapan can be a frugal choice.
2. Take advantage of free extras.
Some stalls provide additional facilities such as gravy, chili sauce, or crackers for free. Taking advantage of this can make the meal more filling without additional costs.
3. Bring your own drinking water.
The price of drinks at stalls is usually more expensive than if you bring your own drinking water. By bringing mineral water, expenses can be more economical.
4. Choose a stall with a buffet concept.
Buffet-style stalls allow you to choose cheaper side dishes or take larger portions of rice as needed.
5. Come during quiet meal times.
Sometimes, when the stalls are closing, some foods are sold at a cheaper price to clear the stock. Coming at a time like this can be an opportunity to get a better price.
6. Use promotions or discounts.
If you eat at a food stall that collaborates with a digital payment application, take advantage of the cashback or discount promos that are currently in effect.
7. Eat with friends.
Some menus such as fried rice or smashed chicken are often served in large portions. By eating together and sharing the costs, expenses can be lighter.
