Tukang Es Goyang (shake popsicle)

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 peanuts

Dry 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!

    maybe they have to goyang (stir) the ingredient to make the popsicle.

    I 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.

    Thanks for keeping the street vendors scenes alive.

    A nice dessert for hot weather. Do they have to shake the ingredients while processing this es goyang?

    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.

    may be the goyang means when you get the "BRAIN FREEZE"
    Did you ever take a ice cream so...... fast with 1 gulp into your mouth?

    BTW "goyang" at here also means shaking

    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 :)

    DA: Thank you for you nice compliment on my pic, Dustjacket Attic :D

    MCK: Here in Indonesia, most of dessert and snacks are made from grated coconut, coconut flesh or coconut milk. And the perfect combination for coconut is salt to make the rich flavor come out :)

    peachkins: hehehe.. yummy? ;)

    KA: yes, there’s always salt being added in coconut milk or grated coconut :)
