Es teler is an Indonesian cold fruit cocktail made with a blend of fruit, avocado and young coconut in cold milk and juice. It is generally served in a container similar to an ice cream sundae and is often eaten with a spoon or with a spoon and straw to suck up the liquid portion of the dish. The use of some soft, gelatinous fruits in esteler makes it a somewhat gelatinous dish with a fruity, sweet, drinkable liquid surrounding the gelatin and ice. Es Teler is popularly served in an Indonesian fast food franchise but can now be found in several countries.
The cocktail is made by combining thin strips of jackfruit and young coconut with avocado cubes, coconut gel cubes and attap fruit. The fruit is bathed in young coconut syrup and attap fruit juice which is chilled with crushed ice and sweetened with condensed milk to taste. Usually, this drink is made with canned fruit at home, but some stores advertise their free as fresh fruit.
Jackfruit is a medium to large fruit with flesh that can range in texture from custard to banana. Although the flavor of jackfruit can be compared to a green banana, some varieties of jackfruit give off an odor as they ripen that some find unpleasantly like rotting flesh. Some cultures consider this pleasant scent and fruit a delicacy, while others consider the plant that bears the fruit to be an invasive species.
Attap fruit is the sweet, jelly-like seed of the atap palm, also known as the nipah palm. This fruit is often canned in juice. Young coconut is the fruit of the coconut that has been harvested before it hardens into the stringy fruit commonly known as coconut. The fruit is soft because the coconut water that typically fills the center of a coconut has not yet separated from the coconut meat, which makes the coconut fruit softer.
Young coconut can differ, depending on how young the coconut was when it was harvested. Es teler usually uses young coconut that has set slightly into something called soft coconut. An even younger type of coconut that is harvested and eaten when green produces a soft, sweet, gelatinous flesh often called coconut jelly.
Es teler is the drink on which the business of the large fast food chain Es Teler 77 was founded. The drink was invented by Murniati Widjaja, who won a competition to create a national drink for Indonesia. After winning the competition, Murniati Widjaja and her husband started a business serving the drink. The small startup eventually grew into a large international franchise chain serving lots of drinks and snacks.
