Ketoprak Apin 2 is a ketoprak (tofu, rice cakes and vermicelli in peanut sauce) seller on Jalan Paus, Pekanbaru (across from D'Junior Kids and Baby Shop), run by Ibu Nita, a former sewing teacher who switched careers to sell ketoprak.
Ibu Nita is originally from West Java. Since the 90s she had been deepening her sewing skills until she became a teacher and produced thousands of employee uniforms for companies.
When she first came to Pekanbaru, she kept using her sewing skills as a tailor. But she says as she got older, her eyesight got worse and her energy faded, so she finally quit sewing completely and decided to just sell food.
The ketoprak is delicious, with a savory peanut sauce that's spicy and sweet all in one. The price is Rp13.000.
