Air Akar Pak Samsudin is a roaming seller of air akar (a traditional herbal root drink) on Jalan Jendral Sudirman, Pekanbaru, from under the flyover near Jalan Nangka to under the flyover near Jalan Harapan Raya. BroSis, he has been selling air akar for more than 35 years, from when the price was Rp300 until now Rp5.000!
His name is Pak Samsudin, and people usually call him "Bapak aia aka".
He said he never actually thought of selling air akar and was even pessimistic at first. It all started when the metal refinery where he worked went bankrupt and laid off everyone, so he had no choice but to start a business to make a living.
The air akar is tasty, refreshing, and sweet. BroSis, if you run into him, please help buy his goods!
