The Popular Fruit Cocktail in Town | "ES TELER" DEMPO
Hello dear Hivers! How are you doing today? Hopefully, you are all doing great today! Today I did my activities as usual, nothing special. The usual routine is to wake up at 4.30 am then get ready to cook several boxes of fried rice to sell. After that, I got ready to shower and bathed my child too. He has to go to school at 7 am, so I have to leave the house at 6.20 because the distance between home and school is quite far. I took him to school this morning and after that my husband and I stopped by to buy necessities.
Around 9 am, we returned home and I cleaned and tidied up the house. Then I get ready again at 11 am to pick up my child at school. Usually I don't come to pick up my child at school, but this time I came because I also didn't have anything else to do at home.
When I arrived at school, I immediately picked up my child who had gone home and he had swimming activities at school today. After that, we wanted to stop for food and buy ice at my regular place.
There we see that there are various kinds of contents in this fruit cocktail or Es Teler, there are chopped jackfruit, avocado, durian, jelly, nata de coco, coconut, pieces of bread, melon, kolang kaling, syrup, and sweetened condensed milk which is mandatory.
The name of the place is Es Dempo. The name is Dempo because the place where they sell ice is in the Dempo street area and in front of the Dempo school. There are lots of people selling ice there and we just have to choose which one we think is the tastiest.
This place is not fancy and looks very folk, and that's what makes this place interesting. They sell in rows and there is no competition between them. Es Dempo has become a legendary culinary place in the city of Malang with the taste of its food and drinks unchanged since the 1980s.
This place is open from 9 am to 4 pm, this shop is always busy with customers from various circles and corners, from students to tourists from out of town. What's unique is that students near this place can order through the small connecting window between the seller and the school area. So every school break, students can order one at a time directly from the ice shop.This shop, which has been around for 45 years, has two of the most popular menus, namely Es Teler and Es Teler Durian.
Actually, they don't just sell ice there, but there are various kinds of food such as dumpling noodles and chicken "soto". I decided to buy Dumpling noodles and Es "Teler" I decided to buy Dumpling noodles and Es "Teler" or it is like fruit cocktail in Indonesia. Es Teler is an iced drink containing pieces of avocado, coconut, ripe jackfruit and thin coconut milk sweetened with syrup and sweetened condensed milk. The ice used can be shaved ice or ice cubes. It can be called Es Teler or Teler Ice because when the weather is hot and we eat that ice it will make us drunk or feel good or really enjoy it.
This is my Es Teler which contains avocado, small pieces of bread, jelly, coconut, shaved ice then poured with sweetened condensed milk. This dessert is perfect when the weather is hot, it's really refreshing! the body becomes fresh and cool instantly. With avocados and sweetness combined into one perfect dessert.
My husband ordered one Es Teler Durian. He likes durian and this durian ice tastes very suitable for him. Have you ever eaten Durian and liked it? Or do you hate it so much that even smelling it makes you nauseous? Hahaha. Yes, this durian is very unique, I like durian if I eat it straight from the fruit. But there are quite a few people who don't like durian because they say it is a fruit that tastes strange and it makes nauseous.
These are the noodle and ice dumplings that we ordered this afternoon. Looks tempting huh! Even though the price is cheap and it looks simple, I think this is really worth it to have lunch with family.
The most important thing here is quality time with family, even though we only eat at a simple place, our time is very valuable because we can always be with our family wherever we go. Enjoy every time every minute of our lives and make everything worth it! ^^
