About Toko Indo Al Alam

Twelve years ago, an Indonesian family opened a small shop on Yugang North 1st Road in Kaohsiung's Qianzhen District, in the shadow of the district's port and export-processing zone where a sizeable share of the city's Indonesian migrant workforce is employed. Toko Indo Al Alam has operated there ever since, and today it serves that community with a mix of services that goes well beyond a typical grocery run.

The shop's core business is Indonesian food and packaged goods, the kind of rice, instant noodles, spices, and snacks that are difficult to find in ordinary Taiwanese supermarkets. But Al Alam also functions as an informal financial hub for its customers: it offers foreign currency exchange and international money remittance, services frequently used by migrant workers sending earnings home, and it supplies goods to ships calling at the nearby port, a niche business line that reflects Kaohsiung's identity as one of Taiwan's busiest harbor cities.

The store is open every day except Sunday, from 10:00 AM to 10:00 PM, and can be reached by phone or WhatsApp. Its owner keeps in touch with customers through a dedicated Facebook page under the name Al Alam Suplier, a hint at the wholesale and supply side of the business alongside its retail counter.

Al Alam fills a gap in the directory's Taiwan coverage: existing grocery listings cluster in Taipei and Taichung, and this is the first from Kaohsiung, a city with a large concentration of Indonesian migrant workers tied to its shipping, manufacturing, and caregiving sectors. It sits within the same general area as Chen Lili Indonesia Halal Restaurant, an existing restaurant listing in Kaohsiung, giving the directory two distinct, independently confirmed Indonesian-run businesses in the city rather than just one.

This listing is sourced directly from Indonesia's own Ministry of Trade, whose Rasa Indonesia platform maintains a government-run directory of Indonesian restaurants and stores abroad; the address, contact details, service list, and coordinates used here all come from Al Alam's own entry on that site, a primary source rather than a secondary aggregator.
