The crust of the egg
When the day of week (13/06/2010) visited Jakarta Fair 2010, as usual in all the way around the complex Jakarta Fair traders crust filled with eggs, specialties Jakarta (Betawi) it. There is a unique managed to attract my attention, it all kind of merchants that use the ID Card "authorized" to sell on the sidewalk. ID Card that they hung on every cart, there is almost certainly not yet display them. It turns out it's ID Card issued by one of the community organizations that are well known in the capital. Who do not have ID Card "official" should not be sold, will be reprimanded by officers of community organizations earlier. The word here of course means much chastened, the edges may be physical abuse I think.
Like the ID Card, ID Card is listed in the name of the issuing organization and their images of their leaders (yes really narcissistic) continues with a signature. On the back of any provision of the use of ID Card ID Card. Merchants who hung here probably hundreds of people, used to get to thousands, said one trader. Traders here are usually seasonal traders, just as long as Jakarta trade fair took place. This is reinforced by the "permission" given by ID Card. Can you imagine how economic turnaround resident for 1 month.
What is the crust of the egg? The crust of the egg is one of the specialties Jakarta (Betawi) is quite a unique material made of glutinous white rice, chicken egg, ebi (dried shrimp marinated) plus a dry roasted onion fried, mashed and flavored with toasted coconut in the form , red pepper, kencur, ginger, pepper grains, salt and sugar. For the problem of taste, I can not explain and compare them. Understandably I do not like the name of culinary tourism. A clear crust egg has become one of the brand Jakarta, Jakarta and even then if the Government had no intention for it.
Ironic
You could say that almost all seasonal traders are ordinary citizens, not businessmen. Then when to sell for 1 month to lease a spot at a cost of Rp. 350 000 operasioanl certainly an additional fee to be honest enough to occupy their income. But in fact, to sell them on the sidewalk was quoted fees of Rp. 350,000 per month!
The question is, Why how come? Yes it is. What are the costs that local governments levy a quote? No, that civil society organizations that have a "job". ID Card into the medium, have ID Card with the merchant can freely trade. To obtain the ID Card, it is necessary to take care of the "headquarters" civil society organizations at a cost of Rp. 350,000. According to one trader, the money can be repaid sebasar it 3 times. Imagine, if it is assumed there are approximately 300 merchants that pay tribute then Rp. 105 million (five hundred million Rupiah) flowing in the pockets of social organization was, what a great face too! Ilegalkah activities that quote-quote? Less well know, in my opinion that there must be retribution in order to regulate the traders would not the government do?
One more thing, although egg crust is authentic Betawi traditional foods were mostly merchants from outside Jakarta, there are Sundanese, Javanese. Perhaps traders (who Betawi) has become skipper all the bang so they are no longer selling, traders said one end of our conversation.
Its ridiculous how much I receive more attention from the opposite sex when I go to sports shops!
