Kerak telor better eat in hot condition.
Sell by street hawker using a bamboo balance yoke, but now it is very rare to find the hawker walking around the pedestrian. They stay in a strategic places or come fro one festival to another festival.

Thanks for sharing this Pak @BudiFXW ! I really like kerak telor, but it’s getting harder and harder to get it these days. Not many places sell this near where my parents live in Jakarta. Looking at posts like this always makes me homesick haha.
