An Angkringan Stall at Jogja Financial Festival 2026, Nasi Kucing Priced at Rp 3,000!

In the midst of a row of UMKM stalls at Jogja Financial Festival (JFF) 2026 at Jogja Expo Center (JEC) in Bantul, a simple angkringan cart captured visitors’ attention. Angkringan Pak Moen arrives bringing the Jogja flavour with nasi kucing and traditional wedang. DetikJateng’s observations at JEC on Friday, 22 May 2026, show participants from all walks of life filling the venue as they eagerly follow the Jogja Financial Festival. There are UMKM stalls selling a range of dishes, from contemporary foods such as dimsum, kebab, and Korean fare, to traditional angkringan. Angkringan Pak Moen arrives with a wedangan-style cart, its dim lighting not to be missed. Fried snacks and various satay, known as sundukan, appear to be selling well. Even nasi kucing had sold out earlier today. The angkringan’s owner, Tri, 42, purposely embraces a wedangan concept to demonstrate that angkringan in Jogja can still be affordable even at a major event. “I’m proving that Angkringan in Jogja isn’t always expensive. People sometimes say angkringan at events is pricey, but here I keep prices normal,” Tri told DetikJateng at JEC, on Friday, 22 May 2026. At his stall, a range of classic angkringan dishes are offered starting from Rp 3,000. There are satay skewers of quail eggs, satay with meatballs, satay of intestines, to nasi kucing with tempe orek and sambal teri. For drinks, Tri provides wedang ginger, ginger with milk, tea, black coffee, and warm orange juice, priced at Rp 5,000 per glass. Despite competition from other contemporary tenants, Tri’s wares remain in high demand. “Today I brought 250 skewers and most are already sold out; only a little remains,” he said. Tri said he is glad to be involved as a participant in the UMKM segment of the event, and noted that he gained the opportunity to sell through the backing of a bank, which means no stall rental. “In my view, this event is very good. It broadens participants’ knowledge and can help UMKM too,” he said. The angkringan’s presence also attracted visitors, such as Dwicahyo, 17, a high school student who arrived with a school group. “I was just hungry; I saw nasi and many foods, so I wanted to come here,” Dwicahyo told DetikJateng, enjoying his nasi kucing. He said he is taking part in Jogja Financial Festival with his school friends and finds the event engaging and beneficial for students. “I happen to be representing the school to take part, but it’s a fun event with many guest stars,” he said. Another visitor, Kezia, 19, valued the angkringan’s presence among modern stalls as a distinctive attraction because it preserves Jogja’s cultural identity. “It’s cool, it helps preserve traditional culture. Others are modern, but this still has nasi kucing, so it preserves Jogja’s culture,” she said. She added that Jogja Financial Festival is not only about entertainment and financial education but also helps stimulate local UMKM. “Rather than buying from abroad, it’s better to promote our own UMKM so the wheels of the economy keep turning. Especially in this economy, the rupiah has weakened,” she said. It is known that Jogja Financial Festival is organised by the Deposit Insurance Corporation (LPS), in collaboration with Transmedia, and features educational classes and business talks with industry leaders at JEC.
