Cireng Isi dan Risoles Pak Yus sells filled cireng (fried tapioca snacks) and risoles (rissoles) on Jalan Hangtuah, Pekanbaru, after Jalan Gunung Kelud and before the bridge. Turns out this man is one of the people who popularized ayam geprek (smashed fried chicken) in Pekanbaru!

His name is Pak Yus, and he used to work in the oil industry in Duri. After retiring, he tried starting a business in Pekanbaru, beginning with an ayam geprek warung.

Back before ayam geprek went nationwide, he had already opened an ayam geprek warung in Pekanbaru, with a recipe brought straight from Jogja by his younger brother, since ayam geprek originally comes from Yogyakarta.

He even opened his ayam geprek warung before the Bensu ayam geprek brand that went super viral in Pekanbaru.

Now Pak Yus runs a small business selling filled cireng and risoles. BroSis, give it a try too!

Prices:
Cireng Isi: Rp2.000/piece
Risoles: Rp2.000/piece
Prices as of April 2026, subject to change.
