KARIMA’S ENKA STREET FOOD
Off we went in search of the lady whose kitchen is on a
Bicycle and at last she has arrived. This was another amazing sight in front of
me, Not because I haven’t seen food and snacks sold on a Bicycle before, No!
But because this Bicycle has got a fridge, can heat kettles and I wondered
where it was powered from.
Karima had resigned from working in the insurance sector to
follow her food passion. She has been doing this Street food business close to
a year on her Bicycle, I asked her why she chose to sell food on a Bicycle and
she replied “I like to be original and
promote ecological development”. Apparently, Karima is an “earth lover” and
believes in living green hence she chose the bicycle which does not emit fumes
and to power her fridge she choose an alternative and cheaper Source of power
which is Solar.
Wow, I was really amazed to find out that this Bicycle
kitchen is powered by solar, how innovative. She told me that the Bicycle was
fabricated in France, however she designed it and it was made to her
specification.
Karima also has a Facebook page for her Business which she
uses to promote her recipes. Her customers are mainly passers-by and those
visiting the hospital. Karima arrives at her spot by 12noon everyday and leaves
by 2pm. And when I asked why she leaves so early, she said she has to prepare
for the next day, she has to shop and prepare the recipes at home then sell
them the next day. The Solar powered fridge helps keep them fresh.
She has quite a number of Customers. While I was there, I witnessed an 80 years old woman, Taxi driver and Hospital visitors buy her wares and they all seemed satisfied. On Karima’s Menu, she has Tea and Coffee, Apple sandwiches, Salads, Soft drinks etc. And for the first time I realized I can lace my sandwiches with fruits.
Karima truly inspired me with her Bicycle and the fact that
you can creatively build your passion with the little resources you have. Here
is my Karima inspired Sandwich.
