Bakso Sahabat is Pak Arifin's roaming meatball cart, which makes its rounds around Jalan Cempaka, Sukajadi, Pekanbaru. Pak Arifin's life plot twist: he worked for over ten years at PT. Panasonic Jakarta, and now he's a roaming meatball seller in Pekanbaru!
Pak Arifin is originally from Bogor. Right when he was doing well at his job in Jakarta, he suddenly got a call from an old friend in Pekanbaru, who offered him a job selling meatballs from a roaming cart.
Pak Arifin said yes right away and moved to Pekanbaru to sell roaming meatballs, which he has now kept at for almost 11 years.
The meatball cart is called Bakso Sahabat. A portion of meatballs is Rp10.000. BroSis, if you run into Pak Arifin, go give his meatballs a try!
