A warung (old spelling ''waroeng'') is a type of small family-owned business — often a casual shop, a modest small restaurant or café — in Indonesia, and to a lesser extent, Malaysia. A ''warung'' is an essential part of daily life in Indonesia. Today, the term ''warung'' has slightly shifted — especially among foreign visitors, expatriates, and people abroad — to refer more specifically to a modest Indonesian restaurant or a place that sells things Indonesian (mostly groceries or foodstuff). There are establishments on the touristy island of Bali and elsewhere that attach the term ''warung'' in their business to indicate their Indonesian nature. Traditionally, ''warung'' is indeed a family-owned business, run by the family members, mostly by women. Traditional warungs are made from wooden, bamboo or thatched materials. More permanent warungs are made from bricks and concrete, some family-owned businesses are attached to their homes. Some smaller portable warungs are made from tin, zinc or some modern version might use fiberglass mold. ''Warung tenda'' ia a portable tent warung, covered with canvas, fabric or plastic sheet tent for roofing. ==Terminology== The term ''warung'' simply denote a wide category of small businesses, either small shop or small restaurant. It is widely used in Java and most of Indonesia, while in Sumatra and Malay Peninsula its synonym ''kedai'' is used instead. In Javanese culture areas, such as in Yogyakarta, Semarang and Surakarta, its counterpart term ''angkringan'' is more commonly found.〔 On the other hand, the term ''toko'' is used to a larger and more established shop. The term can also be used to loosely refer to many other types of shops, including the ''wartel'' (short for ''warung telepon'', essentially a manned phone booth) and ''warnet'' (short for ''warung internet'' Internet café). 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「warung」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
