Bakso Pakde Fajri is a bakso (meatball soup) cart in the Bank BNI yard on Jalan Tuanku Tambusai (Nangka), Pekanbaru, open at night. BroSis who often pass by here must have seen the cart, right?
Turns out Pakde has been selling bakso for 26 years! Pakde, who's now 68, originally moved from Klaten, Central Java, to Pekanbaru specifically to sell bakso.
He used to be strong enough to go around selling, but for the last 8 years Pakde has chosen to stay here because his legs and back often hurt and he can no longer manage going around.
A bowl of bakso is Rp12.000, and there's also tahu isi (stuffed tofu) for Rp3.000. If you pass by, BroSis, stop and buy some bakso!
Prices:
Bakso: Rp12.000
Tahu isi (stuffed tofu): Rp3.000
Prices as of August 2026, subject to change.
