Let's enjoy Aceh's typical roasted young coconut

in Amazing Drinks4 months ago

The increasingly modern era with the many drink recipes emerging does not prevent traditional drinks from taking a role and showing their charm with many innovations and becoming increasingly healthy. Not only that, various traditional drinks are now also able to compete with modern drinks and this is really encouraging amidst the onslaught of modern drinks which have instant packaging with high sugar content and deadly side effects such as kidney failure which has been found in many cases in my country and this is not This is an achievement but it is sad news that currently all food and beverage producers are only concerned with profiting from their own pockets without thinking about the health impact on society at large.



And among the traditional drinks that have risen to the level is young coconut water. Usually we enjoy young coconut water by sitting relaxed on the beach on a hot day, mixed with ice cubes or just the original taste. However, in this place young coconut water is transformed with many special menus to choose from. Young coconuts in this place are consumed by burning them first so that the water becomes warm and has more benefits for our bodies. Consuming roasted coconut is very delicious. If you do it at night, your body will feel warm and your body will be healthy.



And you know, with the capital of roasting young coconuts, they can produce many of the menus listed on their menu. The grilled coconut menu includes:

  1. Original roasted Coconut
  2. Spiced roasted Coconut
  3. Spiced roasted coconut + egg
  4. Grilled Coconut Ginger
  5. Lemongrass Grilled Coconut
  6. Honey Roasted Coconut
  7. Grilled coconut, lemongrass + ginger + areca nut + palm sugar and honey
  8. Young coconut fruit jelly
  9. Coconut juice + areca nut + egg
  10. Palm fruit soup
  11. Young coconut milk ice + syrup



And there are many other menus to choose from and by only spending 1-2 U$ dollars you can enjoy the special menu at this stall and this stall is called the grandfather stall which is located in the city center of Banda Aceh, precisely behind the Arabia Hotel, Banda Aceh. .



And because my goal in coming to this stall was to buy roasted coconut which could warm my body, I chose the spiced roasted coconut menu. And here I saw firsthand how they made my order. After the coconut was roasted and peeled, they added some spices and this was really fast, I was only able to capture the ingredients they put in the spices a few times. I took the coconut that I ordered home because it wasn't just me and my wife who would consume it but my other family too because I ordered 4 roasted coconuts at once. After I got home I opened the coconut and whatever was inside. The pandan leaves were clearly visible, then in the coconut I found lawing flowers, cardamom and bay leaves and there was a taste of honey and pepper in the coconut. And I didn't know there were any spices in the coconut. What is clear is that when I drank it and it reached my throat, the warm feeling continued to spread to my stomach. After that, the roasted coconut meat also causes a different sensation. I really like this roasted coconut but in my city no one is selling this yet. And this is really very disappointing. Hopefully in the future there will be roasted coconut sold in my city. You should try this as a body warming drink at a cheap price and of course healthy. Apart from that, Aceh is also famous for its beautiful beaches. Hopefully you can visit Aceh someday. Greetings from Tomi Diwirja, Indonesia

Wow! A very interesting and unique drink in its preparation, it is based on coconut and other spices that take it to another level, what a privilege my friend.

The world is surprising and culture is very broad and wise for everyone since nature gives us the best.

Thank You @xixi80. really, really unique. It takes a lot of firewood to burn coconut. you should try to make it.
