The characteristic of "Jajanan Pasar" are: They are still made or will always be made in traditional method and use traditional tools for steaming, grilling or frying. And the main ingredients which generally used are rice flour, sticky rice, cassava and coconut. So, "Jajanan Pasar" can not last long (usually one day).
In the past, before I became a blogger, my wife and I ever sold "Jajanan Pasar".
She got up very early in the morning, and started making them, then at 5 am I delivered them to some "warung" (stalls). You can imagine, how hard to run a business of selling delicious and fresh "Jajanan Pasar".
