Trinity of Ices (Es Campur, Es Doger, & Es Teler)
As a tropical country, Indonesia offers a heap of ice-based desserts to stay cool in its warm climate. Despite a myriad of options, these three shaved ice desserts come highly recommended.
First is the colourful Es Campur, a concoction of fruits, coconut, tapioca pearls, and grass jelly served with shaved ice, syrup, and condensed milk. Next is Es Doger, a Bandung-original which offers surprising flavours thanks to its exotic ingredients, such as tapioca pearls, avocado, cassava, and black rice, along with jackfruit, diced bread, condensed milk, plus syrup.
Last but not least is Es Teler—this Indonesian fruit cocktail has similar ingredients as Es Doger, but with an addition of coconut meats and pandan leaf that helps the body cool down under the scorching sun.
