Ice Dawet,cilok,ice serut . Bring back my childhood memories

Hey hey local guides , how are you ?

Today I have stories which remembering me to past time when I was children , yes elementary school era .

On saturday 02 nd november 2019 I went to take my niece to school .

I found some food vendors like cadger . So let’s started to taste

various food cilok, es serut ,es dawet

  • Cilok

Cilok like meatball with use stick as handle ,very simple food ,use ketcup or sauce , children’s usually only with ketcup . Sauce for someone love spicy taste

cilok and ketcup and sambals

cilok with sauce

  • Ice serut

my niece hand with ice serut

This is simple shaved ice compacted in molds in the form of dolls or funny characters and smothered in sweet syrup

  • Ice dawet

pak Uti , my neigbour as seller ice dawet

steamed flour mixture, doused with liquid brown sugar, coconut milk and ice cubes

put dawet to bowl

put ice cube

Pour liquid brown sugar

pour white coconut milk

ready to serve .

Bonus story

while my niece studied in class, the food vendors (they are people I know well) cleaned up the rubbish around the school grounds. this was a form of their responsibility because trash was mostly from food vendors

clean up the trash

So I also felt that I had to be responsible for cleaning up the environment because what made my school yard dirty might be one of them my nephew. although I know I always teach my niece to throw trash in its place

small real action inspired by local guides clean the worlds .

Conclusion

making your own food for children is the best thing ,but there is no harm in tasting food from sellers assume we are helping neighbors to develop their business .

cleanliness is our shared responsibility, educating our children since childhood, one of them and still taking real action for example

@Nyainurjanah I’ve heard cilok before, but I think this is the first time ever I actually see photos of it. I don’t think I’ve ever had this before when I was still living in Indonesia :slightly_smiling_face: The dawet looks delicious though! I could use some right now…

Btw, it’s very awesome that you volunteered to clean the school yard. I know this is a huge problems in most cities in Indonesia, and it’s really difficult to change how people behave (because most think it’s an okay thing to do). Big kudos for setting a good example for others :slightly_smiling_face:

Great writing with the tasty items. I love the meatball as it tastes so yummy with sauce obviously. and love the ice-cream also. Homemade food is good for health. Happy to know that you made it at home.

I appreciate your after work cleaning procedure. Thank you @Nyainurjanah for the post.

Good evening. Every snack you eat in your childhood looks really delicious. A snack with meatballs, shaved ice, and black honey seems to be very delicious. Your appearance of cleaning up after eating is a wonderful action. Everything is born from this earth and I will do my best to be thankful for that earth. Thank you very much. Regard
