Enjoy Local Pomegranate Juice At Taman Sari

Quenching your thirst with fruit juice after travelling from one tourist spot to another is indeed the right thing to do. Like some time ago when I was touring Taman Sari, on my way out, I saw a fruit juice vendor that caught my attention.

Of course, this is not a famous juice stall or a trendy juice. It's just a simple fresh juice stand and the only one in the area. Being so thirsty, I finally ordered the one juice I wanted. I was a bit confused at first because there are several types to choose from, such as: pineapple, melon, watermelon, dragon fruit, banana, guava, strawberry mango, orange, lemon, sunkist, apple, pear, and more. In addition to selling fruit for juicing, here also sells a variety of other fruits that are ready for consumption.

Okay, after careful consideration, I chose pomegranate.

At first, I recalled my trip to Turkey a few years ago and remembered how fresh the pomegranate juice was there. After waiting for about a minute, my order was finally placed. I forgot that the pomegranate I ordered was the local type. So, instead of being blushing red with incomparable freshness, the local pomegranate is more pale red in colour and not very fresh. So the rada I ordered was predominantly sweet. Maybe I forgot to say that ‘please make it without sugar’.

However, I don't regret it, whatever it was, one glass of pomegranate juice was in my hand. And I enjoyed it with joy. Just like my heart was full today from travelling around Yogyakarta.

As I continued my journey outwards, I came across a pomegranate that was still on the tree. It belonged to someone nearby, so I took a picture to show you guys. This is a photo of the local pomegranate I'm talking about, it might be small, but it's a different type of pomegranate from what Turkey has.

After that, I finally finished my juice and headed out the door. After this, I will head to Prambanan temple, which is located 25 kilometres from here. It's still a long journey, so let's strengthen our legs, hearts and minds. Thank you for reading my writing.
