6. Other traditional snacks and drinks
Durian Fruit
The durian is the fruit of several tree species belonging to the
genus Durio and the Malvaceae family (although some taxonomists place
Durio in a distinct family, Durionaceae. Widely known and revered in
southeast Asia as the "king of fruits", the durian is distinctive for
its large size, unique odor, and formidable thorn-covered husk. The
fruit can grow as large as 30 centimeters (12 in) long and 15
centimeters (6 in) in diameter, and it typically weighs one to three
kilograms (2 to 7 lb). Its shape ranges from oblong to round, the color
of its husk green to brown, and its flesh pale-yellow to red, depending
on the species. The edible flesh emits a distinctive odor, strong
and penetrating even when the husk is intact. Some people regard the
durian as fragrant; others find the aroma overpowering and offensive.
The smell evokes reactions from deep appreciation to intense disgust.
The odor has led to the fruit's banishment from certain hotels and
public transportation in southeast Asia.
Es Dawet
Is the right choice when you get to the market on a hot day. Combination
of sweet and cold taste will clench your thirst after taking a long
walk. This drink is made from cendol as the main material. There are two
kinds of cendol; the green one is made from starch and the white one is
from rice flour. Both of them will taste smooth and rich on our tongue.
As complement, es cendol is added with cam cao that will give unique
sensation to the tongue. Cam cao is natural jelly made from the squeeze
of cam cao leaf to make a solid, green jelly. This cam cao
differentiates es dawet of Yogyakarta from other dawets from other areas
in Indonesia. Generally, es cendol from other parts of Indonesia
contains only one cendol.
Two kinds of smooth cendol and the fresh cam cao will combine with the
sweet taste of the mixture of thick coconut milk and palm sugar syrup
with the aroma of Jackfruit mixed in it. The sweet sensation will not
only clench your thirst but it will also cool you down for a while. They
use pure palm sugar as the sweetener instead of artificial one.
Beras Kencur Drinks
One of the drinks is beras kencur made from pounded rice and soak
for one night and it is added with squeezed galingale. In addition to
refreshing, beras kencur is also advantageous for health. The warm
effect from the galingale will prevent the throat from experiencing
inflammatory and it is believed to make our voice more melodious.
Kunyit Asam Drinks
Other choice of traditional drink from Javanese ingredients is kunyit
asam, made from grate of turmeric that is squeezed and mixed with
tamarind and palm sugar. There is also similar drink composed of
tamarind and palm sugar only. All are healthy for our body; turmeric
that is rich in antioxidant will refresh the skin and smoothen blood
circulation, while tamarind that is rich in vitamin C will increase our
stamina.
