"A chicken rice hawker stall with amazing food.
Bursting with Savory, sweet, and a bit spicy in every bite. There are plenty of options for side dishes to choose from. Chicken skewers, quail egg skewers, chicken liver and gizzards, and clam skewers.
It is really cheap as well."

"Get ready to war if you come here. Decide quickly what you want to order as the crowd fills up the place quickly. Good option for breakfast with various condiments. Can be for dine in or take away. Taste tend to sweet, just like Central Java authentic taste."
Shella Yuridasari
"Randomly searched what to eat for breakfast in Semarang and it did not disappoint.
The food was rightly portioned for breakfast and delicious.
It’s more to sweet to taste but they provide boiled chilies to add some spiciness.
The only downside is the seller was not too friendly. We waited over 10 minutes in line in front of her to pay (while she counted some orders) but she let others cut the line to pay. When we nicely asked how much we should pay as it has taken too long, she snapped at us.
Super weird that she did not snap at people who cut lines but she was rude to people who has been waiting over 10 minutes."
