For this special edition about dessert, I especially visit a place which quiet famous for its Indonesian food. The place is called “Es Teler 77” which has many branches in every city in Indonesia even in foreign countries. At first, Es Teler was opened in a small cafeteria in 1987. It was really popular at that time.

Today, I visited the one which is located in the Ambarukmo Plaza LG FI Unit B32-34, Laksda Adisucipto street, Yogyakarta. 

The place is not quite big but it is comfortable for hang out. I ordered the “Es teler” with price Rp. 15.000. 10 minutes later, a glass of es teler has been put in front of me. The portion is much enough for me. The sweet and fresh taste has gone through my tongue. The contents of it are some fresh fruits like avocado, jackfruit, melon, white milk cream, and some ice shavings. This ice is suitable for dessert. Beside it, you can also order the other foods like Bakso, otak-otak, kuitiaw noodle, and many else. So after you order the main course, you can order the es teler as a dessert.

There are also some puddings which are made from fruits or seaweed.

The smoothy and lucious texture of pudding are good for human digestion. That's why pudding is good for dessert. Especially for the pudding which is made from seaweed is very good for our health. It has a lot of fiber which helps the digestion system to disgest the main course that we eat before.

You can find the variety of pudding recipes on the internet or some sources. So sometimes if you are too lazy to go out on the restaurant, you can make your own pudding as dessert.
