Must-Try Culinary Delights in Purwokerto Savoring the Legendary Es Brasil

javaprivatetour.com – If you’re planning a trip to Java, Indonesia, you’re in for a treat. Not only does Java boast stunning natural beauty, but its culinary scene is also something to write home about. Today, we’re diving into one of Purwokerto’s hidden gems: the legendary Es Brasil.

Discovering Purwokerto’s Culinary Charm

Nestled in Central Java, Purwokerto is a city that might not be on every tourist’s radar, but it should be. Known for its scenic views of Mount Slamet and vibrant local culture, Purwokerto offers a delightful array of traditional foods. You’ve probably heard of mendoan, gethuk, or nopia – all staples of the local cuisine.

But there’s one treat that stands out, especially for those of us who love a bit of nostalgia with our sweets: Es Brasil. This iconic ice treat, reminiscent of childhood summers and simple joys, originates right here in Purwokerto.

The Origin of Es Brasil

The Origin of Es Brasil

Located at Jalan Jendral Suprapoto No. 25, Kauman Lama, Purwokerto Lor, East Purwokerto, the Es Brasil store has been a beloved fixture since 1968. The business was started by Ny. Nata Hadiwardojo and Winawati Wangsaputri and is now managed by their descendants.

Interestingly, the creation of Es Brasil was somewhat accidental. Back in the day, to make use of electricity, traditional ice treats were made using simple, local ingredients and packaged in plastic. The ice was initially sold door-to-door to local residents.

The name “Brasil” comes from the word “berhasil,” meaning “successful” in Indonesian. It was a hopeful gesture that this small ice business would thrive and be enjoyed by people all over Indonesia.

Keeping Tradition Alive

From its humble beginnings with just one flavor – mung bean – Es Brasil has expanded to offer nine delicious varieties, including coconut, sticky rice, coffee, fruit salad, soursop, choco chips, and durian. Despite its growth and popularity, Es Brasil has remained true to its roots. The recipe has not changed, and the ice is still made without preservatives, using only real sugar.

Despite the rise of modern ice cream brands in Indonesia, Es Brasil remains affordable, with each ice treat costing less than IDR 10,000.

Expanding Horizons

Es Brasil is no longer just a Purwokerto specialty. You can now find it in various cities such as Salatiga, Semarang, and Bogor. But if you have the chance, visiting the original store in Purwokerto is a must. Open from 7:30 AM to 5:00 PM, the store offers a unique experience where you can enjoy your ice on-site.

In addition to the classic flavors, the store now offers trendy ice creams like cones and traditional “es puter” with flavors like chocolate, durian, grape, and tutti-frutti.
