What’s better when you
are walking in a hot Jakarta afternoon? Well munching on a piece of Es Potong
seems appropriate! Es potong is sort of an ice cream stick. It is cylindrical
and has a length of around 10 cm, it comes in a lot of different flavors. Some
famous flavors are durian, chocolate, green beans (may not seem appealing but it’s
a must try!), black sticky rice and avocado! A whole lot of choices and why not
buy one if it’s only Rp. 3000?! It is that cheap for a stick of deliciousness.
You can find this Es Potong in tourist spots and you cannot miss it. The cart
has “Es Potong” written on it and is pushed by a person behind it, or in a
bicycle form. To know if your ice cream is legit, you can check with this
checklist:
1.
Natural
freezes which consists of whole ice and salt
2.
The ice
cream is long and cut into smaller pieces
3.
Has a
little taste of salt from the salted ice which is used for keeping the ice
cream cold
4.
Not in
already cut sizes |
