Jakarta (ANTARA) – E-commerce platform Tokopedia shares a number of recommendations for food and drink supplies that need to be stored at home during the rainy season.
According to the Meteorology, Climatology and Geophysics Agency (BMKG), the rainy season in Indonesia has started since early September with the peak expected to occur in December 2022.
“The public can take advantage of various campaigns on Tokopedia, one of which is Tokopedia NYAM!, so they can continue to enjoy various curated food and beverage products from business activists, including local MSMEs, including during this rainy season,” said Head of External Communications Tokopedia Ekhel Chandra Wijaya .
The following are five recommendations for food and drink supplies during the rainy season, quoted in a press release on Sunday.
Instant noodles
Instant noodles tend to be the choice during the rainy season. Ekhel said Tokopedia’s internal data recorded that sales of instant noodle products increased more than 2.5 times from September to December last year.
Tteokbokki
Korean drama lovers will definitely be familiar with tteokbokki, a snack made from rice flour and synonymous with thick soup and a spicy taste. Apart from being suitable as a companion for watching Korean dramas, tteokbokki is also suitable for enjoying when it’s raining.
This typical Korean food is widely sold by business activists on Tokopedia, becoming one of the foods most sought after by people during last year’s rainy season, namely from September to December 2021.
Red ginger
Apart from maintaining health, red ginger can also be a mainstay for warming the body during the rainy season.
“In the Traditional Drinks sub-category, red ginger was one of the products most sought after by the public during last year’s rainy season,” said Ekhel.
Coffee or hot chocolate
Drinking coffee or hot chocolate in the middle of the rainy season has its own sensation. According to Ekhel, coffee and chocolate powder are some of the most popular drinks on Tokopedia in the Food and Drink category, including from September to December 2021.
Chips
One of the snacks that people most often searched for via Tokopedia during last year’s rainy season was basreng chips. With a crunchy texture and savory taste, basreng chips are a perfect companion when sipping warm drinks such as coffee or chocolate.
