“Pedagang Sayur” is equal as “Grocery”, and “Keliling” is equal “go around”. So basically, this merchant is “go around”, door to door, selling some vegetables. You can find many kind of vegetables, such as tomato, fermented soybean alias tempe, crackers, corn, etc. It’s not too expensive and sometimes can save our gas, because we don’t need to go to market.
