Some vendors peddle or push carts around that are called <em>pedagang<\/em><i> kaki lima<\/i>. The interesting name comes from the fact that the cart has three feet and the vendor has two. That adds up to <em>kaki lima<\/em> (five feet). Some vendors keep their\u00a0cart stationary in a night market or on a busy street corner. Street food in Indonesia is super cheap and delicious as well. Here are some of the best street food dishes in Indonesia.<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center\">Bakso<\/h2>\n<div id=\"attachment_2895\" style=\"width: 610px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter post-item__attachment\"><a href=\"https:\/\/blogs.transparent.com\/indonesian\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/37\/2017\/08\/DSC_0888.jpg\" aria-label=\"DSC 0888\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-2895\" class=\"size-full wp-image-2895\"  alt=\"\" width=\"600\" height=\"402\" \/ src=\"https:\/\/blogs.transparent.com\/indonesian\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/37\/2017\/08\/DSC_0888.jpg\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blogs.transparent.com\/indonesian\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/37\/2017\/08\/DSC_0888.jpg 600w, https:\/\/blogs.transparent.com\/indonesian\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/37\/2017\/08\/DSC_0888-350x235.jpg 350w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-2895\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Bakso<\/p><\/div>\n<p>This just might be the most ubiquitous street food in all of Indonesia. <em>Bakso<\/em> (meatball soup) seems to be on every corner, from the busy streets of Jakarta to small towns in Flores.
