Pempek Mas Minto sells school-kid pempek (Palembang fish cake) on Jalan Sungai Rokan (in front of SD Negeri 23 Pekanbaru) and Jalan Sutomo (in front of SMP Negeri 4 Pekanbaru), at just Rp1.000/pc, and he has been selling for 15 years!

This is my favorite elementary school snack to this day, pempek that costs Rp1.000. I buy from Mas Harminto, who is usually called Mas Minto.

Long story short, he first learned the pempek recipe from a friend. It did not take long for him to get it right, and he started selling pempek right away.

Turns out lots of kids loved it, and he has kept going for 15 years now.

BroSis, give it a try too!
