context_page_description: Nasi kucing is an Indonesian rice dish that originated from Yogyakarta, Semarang, and Surakarta but has since spread. It consists of a small portion of rice with toppings, usually sambal, dried fish, and tempeh, wrapped in banana leaves.
context_section_description: Nasi kucing is often sold at a low price (sometimes as low as Rp 1000 [US$0.12] for nasi kucing and Rp 4000 [US$0.48] for sega macan) at small, road-side food stalls called angkringan, which are frequented by lower-class people, or wong cilik, including pedicab and taxi drivers, students, and street musicians. This has led to angkringan being considered the "lowest class of eatery".
  The owners of the angkringan themselves often come from lower socio-economic classes, may have few or no marketable skills, or originate from remote villages. In order to open their stalls, they borrow money from a patron, called a juragan; that amount can be up to Rp. 900,000.00 (US$105.00). From the daily net profits of Rp. 15,000.00 – Rp. 20,000.00 (US$1.75 – 2.35), the seller repays the patron until the debt is repaid and the seller is able to operate independently.
