Es buah

Salads, Dips, Sandwiches and Fermented Cold Dishes

Es buah, also called sop buah, is an Indonesian iced fruit cocktail served as a dessert and drunk as a cold, sweet beverage. It is made from diced fruit such as honeydew, cantaloupe, pineapple, papaya, squash, jackfruit and kolang kaling, the fruit of Arenga pinnata, mixed with shaved ice or ice cubes and sweetened with liquid sugar or syrup. The fruit varies with what is available, and cooks may add mango, watermelon or longan, or imported fruit such as lychee, kiwi, strawberry, pear, peach or grapes. Agar-agar jelly, grass jelly, seaweed, nata de coco and basil seeds are common extras, and some versions use sweetened condensed milk or coconut milk in the liquid base. It is a popular choice for breaking the fast during Ramadan and is close to es campur and es teler.
