Tukang Es Jeruk (Orange juice)

A man is selling fresh orange juice on a cart.


He uses Pontianak oranges (Jeruk Pontianak) to make the juice.
Pontianak oranges come from West Borneo - Indonesia. These kind of oranges are also called as Siam oranges.

The orange juice man needs many oranges to make one glass.
Although the oranges are very sweet but the vendor adds white sugar syrup.

There is nothing more refreshing than freshly squeezed orange juice :)

A glass of Pontiank orange juice costs Rp. 5.000 (less than USD 0.50)

  49. chou: Hi Chou, thanks for stopping by my blog :) Here in Java island, the people tend to like very sweet drink thus that's the reason why the vendor put syrup in the orange juice. Actually mostly, all kind of juices here in Indonesia are being added with sugar.

    glo: thanks, Glo :) How hot is the weather at your place now? Here in Jakarta, averagely is around 31 to 33 celcius degrees during the day.
