Text and/or other creative content from Indonesian cuisine was copied or moved into Street food of Indonesia on 11 July 2016‎. The former page's history now serves to provide attribution for that content in the latter page, and it must not be deleted as long as the latter page exists.

Etymology?[edit]

== Hi. As a child I always understood "kaki lima" carts and vendors to be named not after the "five foot" walkways, but the physical properties of the street food carts themselves - two wheels and three post legs, for "five feet". No sources on this, and I was a kid, but the source provided after this claim - [2], the Jakarta Post article "Most popular 'kaki lima' in Jakarta - offers no comment re etymology. Perhaps an authoritative source (possibly in Bahasa Indonesia) could be located for this claim.

As is, I have added a citation needed tag to the article.
