Thirsty? I Ended Up Getting Snacks Instead

I’d seen haus! outlets around plenty of times — the franchise seems to have a presence in almost every city. Going by the name alone, I always assumed it was just another sweet drinks player. Turns out I wasn’t entirely right.

Kru melayani pelanggan dengan tetap mematuhi protokol Covid-19 — Staff serving customers while following Covid-19 health protocols

Hanya ada dua kru di sini, jadi mohon bersabar ya hehe — Only two crew members here, so bear with the wait, hehe

Gerainya memang sempit, mungkin agar pelanggan melakukan takeaway (grab and go) — The outlet is quite compact — designed for takeaway and grab-and-go

Etalase camilan dan berbagai pilihan bumbu di sisi kanannya — Snack display case with a range of seasoning options on the side

Dari makaroni, ke basreng, usus, hingga keripik tempe, suka yang mana — From macaroni to basreng, usus, and tempe crisps — which one’s your pick?

What I didn’t know is that haus! now sells a variety of snacks with customisable seasoning — like at this outlet on Jl. Supomo in Solo. The packaging design is genuinely impressive: thick-walled and well-made. The seasoning itself is well-balanced — applied fresh on the spot, not overdone, and evenly coated. Being a spice fan, I went for the tempe crisps and basreng. The tempe crisps were satisfyingly crunchy and full of flavour, and the basreng wasn’t tough and chewy the way it can be at most small-batch vendors.
