Kucingan
By: mizan on July 6th, 2008.
Location: Pemuda street, Semarang
This is a nasi kucing ( literally means “rice for cat”) vendor’s cart. Nasi kucing is rice and toppings wrapped in a paper. It is so-called since the portion of the rice served is as much as a one given for a cat (it is worth noting that many people feed their cats rice and fish here). You can buy many kinds of food, and the best thing is that the prices are very cheap (around Rp 1000 – 2000). Despite the tiny portion, nasi kucing helps you enough to prevent emergency hunger. The place in which you can hang out and enjoy your nasi kucing is usually called kucingan. Kucingan is one of the cheapest and most comfortable place to mingle and discuss any subjects with other people.
