A long and descriptive name for a stall indeed. The Warung Kari Kambing & Asam Pedas Claypot is famous for its mutton curry and a dish called “asam pedas” of which is a sweet, sour, and spicy tamarind sauce; cooked with fish.
Early Eaters
Foodies far and near flock to the stall as early as 6am to power up for the day and they stock up energy with the intake of mutton curry and rice. It may be hard to fathom eating such a heavy meal for breakfast but stall owner Yusri Nadin has been cooking his spicy specialty for early eaters for many years.

He rather focus on getting his famous curry cooked right but in minimal quantity instead of sacrificing quality for quantity. “Starving the market” has been a good strategy for some businesses too.
