so on a recent trip to Yogyajakarta in Central Java, i simply had to try a local traditional drink...and here it is...it's called es dawet. it was absolutely delicious...a mixture of coconut milk (santen), palm sugar syrup (gula melaka or gula jawa) and rice flour. when it arrived it was all in it's layers...so you could see the dark brown of the palm sugar syrup, the white, creaminess of the coconut milk and the little bits of rice flour floating around...you give it a good stir and with a good serving of ice, this must be one of the most refreshing drinks i have had in a long time...slurp! very easy to make but with those delicious asian flavours...yummy!Thursday, 26 March 2009

Yum. Looks like the sort of drunk that's practically a dessert!
I make es dawet myself, although I am in New Zealand. Actually it is quite simple :) I'll be in Ubud 12 May-6th June. See you there?
How do you do.
