Fruits in Indonesian can be consumed directly, with no cook proccess
For you to remember guys, in Indonesia most of the time, fruits are eaten directly as desert. But fruits are also widely consumed in the form of juice. The juice may be slightly different from what you usually have because Indonesians like to add rock ice, condensed milk, chocolate syrup, and sometimes even vanilla ice cream into the juice. It is surely not the healthiest drink option, but it indeed is delicious.
Somehow, some people also fry some fruits as a snack which you can easily find across the country. For example fried banana or pisang goreng, fried jackfruit or nangka goreng in which both are popular snacks. Other famous snacks using fruits are nagasari which is a custard pudding with banana covered in banana leaf. Sometimes fruits are also cooked into sweet soup called kolak such as kolak pisang, kolak nangka, and more. There are also some fruits usually used for fruit soup or sup buah and fruit salad such as watermelon, melon, nangka, strawberry, avocado, and dragon fruits.(red)
