You'll hear them up and down the streets beating a fork against an empty bottle to let the locals know that there's food passing by. Sort of like the ice cream truck in the summer with the jingle over the loud speaker. They sell anything from coconut juice straight from the coconut, to mixed fruits served with crushed ice and cream, to meatballs (bakso) served in a broth with scallions. Some carts are pushed, others are strapped to the back of a scooter, and some will be found at the same place nearly everyday providing seating and a table for gathering with friends. They are mostly intended for locals and workers in the area looking for a quick, cheap eat.
Tonight I had dinner at a BBQ place called WAHAHA with Tonny's sister and family. I had an excellent half rack of pork ribs. A nice reminder of home.
