Bibit said that in a day he can sell around 10 kilograms. "This pandemic has indeed reduced somewhat, usually 10 kilograms are sold in a day, that's around 150 portions. Previously, it could reach 200 portions. Alhamdulillah," he said.
In one portion consists of noodles. In addition, it is equipped with shredded chicken, wonton crackers, mustard greens, and pickles. The shape of the noodles served at Pangsit Mie Pak Sumarto is different from the noodles usually used for most wonton noodles found in Malang City.
