SEAToday.com, Jakarta - Indonesia's rich culinary heritage is evident in the diverse array of dishes found across its many islands. Among these, refreshing ice creams hold a special place. Dominated by sweet flavors and various toppings, these icy treats are a beloved part of Indonesian cuisine.

Let's explore some of Indonesia's most popular and refreshing ice cream delights, as highlighted by the Ministry of Tourism and Creative Economy:

1. Es Selendang Mayang

This Betawi specialty is becoming increasingly rare. Made with colorful layers of hunkwe (tapioca flour jelly) cut into cubes and served in coconut milk and palm sugar syrup, it offers a soft, sweet, and refreshing taste. A true symbol of Betawi cuisine, it deserves to be preserved.

2. Es Teler

One of Indonesia's most famous ice cream drinks, es teler was created by Pak Tukiman Darnowiyono and Bu Samijem Darmowiyono from Nguter, Sukoharjo, Central Java. The combination of avocado, young coconut, jackfruit, and sugar palm fruit, topped with sweet coconut milk and condensed milk, creates a rich and refreshing taste. It's a popular choice, especially on hot days.

3. Es Cincau

A popular traditional Indonesian drink, especially during hot weather. Cincau, the main ingredient, is rich in fiber and has a cooling effect on the body. Served with syrup, coconut milk, and shaved ice, it's a refreshing and healthy treat.

4. Es Oyen

A modern version of es campur popular in Bandung. It typically includes avocado, young coconut, jackfruit, sugar palm fruit, and sweetened condensed milk. Often enhanced with unique additions like sago pearls or pudding, it's a delightful and refreshing drink.

5. Es Dawet

Originating from Java, es dawet features chewy rice flour jelly served in coconut milk, palm sugar syrup, and shaved ice. This classic combination has been enjoyed for generations and remains a popular choice on hot days.

6. Es Pisang Ijo

Hailing from Makassar, es pisang ijo is a famous Indonesian dessert. Green-colored steamed bananas wrapped in dough, served with coconut rice porridge, red syrup, and shaved ice, offer a sweet and savory combination.

7. Es Podeng

A traditional ice cream from East Java, es podeng is served with peanuts, black sticky rice, pieces of bread, and coconut flakes. Its varied textures and flavors make it a favorite among both children and adults.
