Bakso Bakar Mas Eko 99, 900 Skewers a Day

Bakso Bakar Mas Eko 99 is a grilled meatball stall on Jalan Kinibalu, across from SMK Negeri 1 Pekanbaru, that has been selling for 9 years and can sell out 800-900 skewers a day!

This is my go-to grilled meatball since my vocational school days. Mas Eko has been selling grilled meatballs for about 9 years, but it turns out he used to work on a cargo ship and has traveled around Asia!

From Thailand and Hong Kong all the way to Japan, you could say he worked as an overseas migrant worker for around 20 years, and during that time he only went home to Indonesia once every 9 months.

Now he's decided to just sell grilled meatballs. He says sales are pretty good, and on a good day he can sell as many as 900 skewers!

Here you'll find:
- Bakso bakar (grilled meatballs) Rp1.000 per skewer
- Tahu bakar (grilled tofu) Rp1.500 per skewer

The sauce is different too, Mas Eko's own recipe, the spicy kind. It's really delicious!

Try it too, BroSis!
