I'm not so sure why those popsicles aka ice on a stick are called as "es goyang" since "goyang" in Indonesian language means shaking. Uhmmm.... do they need to shake the ice or they shake their body while making the ice? hehehe... Well, probably it's just a matter of a name :)
There are many flavors, i.e: mung beans, red beans, avocado, coconut, etc. We even can ask the popsicle to be deep into chocolate and sprinkle it with ground roasted peanutsDry ice is provided for those who don't want to eat the popsicle directly (it's for take-out purpose).
I had the avocado es goyang and it costs me only less than US 20 cents :)
Don't be surprised if the popsicle tasted salty and salty because instead of made by milk, it's made from coconut milk with a pinch of salt as the basic ingredient.

I've never had those flavors, but I think the avocado sounds creamy and delicious!
ReplyDeletemaybe they have to goyang (stir) the ingredient to make the popsicle.
ReplyDeleteI hope Es Goyang is not an endangered snack... I think back in the days, the original es goyang cart is used to freeze the popsicle or ice cream.
ReplyDeleteThanks for keeping the street vendors scenes alive.
wow, even with avocado flavour!so cool!
ReplyDeleteI will probably never get to have the pleasure of sampling that. Nice pictures.
ReplyDeleteQMM
I also wondering why it is call shaking ice! :) but look damn awesome to me!
ReplyDeleteA nice dessert for hot weather. Do they have to shake the ingredients while processing this es goyang?
ReplyDeletemy favourite is either corn or red bean. havent had that in years. kinda miss it. :(
ReplyDeleteOoh, I love sweet and salty things and coconut milk. This definitely sounds like a dessert with my name on it!
ReplyDeleteI love the popsicle man! I stop him in our neighborhood every chance I get. I'd love it dipped in chocolate and peanuts too.
ReplyDeleteOh wow, never knew you could do all those flavours. I love the pic of you on the sidebar taking food pic's, you look sweet concentrating lol.
ReplyDeletexxx
I didn't know you could use all of those flavors and it really appeals to me, because I'm not as fond of sweets as I am for savory. Using coconut milk sounds very interesting and so different than what we are accustomed to in the states. Thanks again for introducing us to new foods. Makes life very interesting.

Yumm! I can already imagine what it tastes like!
ReplyDeleteThey look so refreshing. The addition of salt is really unique!
ReplyDeleteI'll take coconut dipped in chocolate, please.
ReplyDeleteWhat a neat popsicle! I love that it's salty!
ReplyDeletemay be the goyang means when you get the "BRAIN FREEZE"
ReplyDeleteDid you ever take a ice cream so...... fast with 1 gulp into your mouth?
BTW "goyang" at here also means shaking
I love the flavors of these popsicles, they sound so yummy!
ReplyDeleteI love popsicles and dont eat them nearly enough.
ReplyDeleteNow these flavors sound like something I would love to try!
in malaysia, we have something similar called ais potong.. coz they cut the ice cream from a big block and poke a sate skewer through it as an ice cream stick :)
ReplyDeleteHoly cow that looks amazingly refreshing on a hot day... I would love that!
ReplyDeleteAnd you totally had me even more at 20 cents :)
