Es Teler 77... The never ending dessert

Most people tend to take dessert after they have lunch or dinner. The varieties of dessert are usually a plate of sweet cake or some fresh fruits. However every people must have different taste of dessert.

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.

The sweet taste from the milk cream combined with the fresh taste from the fruit. This is a good choice of dessert. Beside es teler, there are also some other choices of dessert. There are also es nangka and es alpukat.

“It is very suitable for a hot day like this. I often come to this place to enjoy the ice or try some foods. It’s delicious and refreshing at the same time.” Said one of the customer who I met at that place. This place will be crowded at the meal time. People are often enjoy their lunch or dinner here. 

So instead of just eating dessert with sweet cake or fresh fruit, you can try this kind of food as your dessert. You can taste sweet things and fresh fruit at the same time in one food. These ices are also very suitable to be eaten in a summer days. With the hot temperature, it will be very nice if we try some fresh things as a dessert.

Even though it has been opened since 1987, but Es Teler 77 is still popular till now.

Healthy tasty smoothy dessert called Pudding

   What is pudding? Well, aren't you familiar with it? Still with this month's special edition about dessert, now I present another kind of dessert that is familiar. However familiar doesn't mean it is just it and has nothing. With this familiarity, we'll try to explore more about dessert around us.

Then by Wikipedia's definiton, the word pudding is believed to come from French boudin , originally from the Latin botellus, meaning "small sausage", reffering to encased meats used in Medieval European puddings.
However the pudding which is popular around us usually have a smooth and sweet taste. It is such as chocolate puddings, rice puddings, christmas puddings, and etc. Every country in the world has its own pudding from different ingredients.

Ashure from Turkey

Asida from Middle East

Almond Jelly fromHong Kong

In UK and Australia, pudding is usually made from dairy-based ingredients. Those ingredients will make the texture of the pudding smooth and creamy. It also depends on what kind of pudding it will be. Nowadays there are many varieties of pudding which we can make or buy in the shop. 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.

The consumers of puddings are relative. It's not only kids but also adults like pudding as their choice of dessert. The ways to make pudding is also simple and not complicated at all. 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.

Therefore with its tasty and smoothy taste, pudding does not only provide a yummy dessert but also a healthy dish which is good for our body.

Poem for dessert

Some are sweet

And some are bitter

But once you eat a dessert

It make you better.

Some eat it is a snack

But mostly after dinner.

But never before a race,

Because it will never make you a winner.

There are types of different desserts,

Such as cookies, ice creams, and cake.

But not all of them,

are hard to bake.

Cookies are scrumptious,

and very tasty.

Not as sweet as a candy,

But still yummy in the tummy.

Ice cream's cold, tasty, and melts.

Under the blazing sun.

But for the summer reasin,

ice cream is the one.

Chocolate is the best

Because it matches with all desserts

It can be ice cream, cookies, cake

or other type of desserts.
