When in Bali, I enjoy drinking freshly squeezed fruit juices served in most Indonesia restaurants. I don't know what the first fruit in the above picture is, but it is very appetizing as a chilled juicy drink.
Avocados might not be juicy but blended with milk and adding some sweet palm sugar (gula melaka), it is my favourite Indonesian juice.
My last day in Bali, Win brought us to an inconspicuous factory that sells ......
yummy ham, sausages, meat floss and BBQ meats. The factory was established in 1950 and many tourists come by the busloads to buy its famous products.
We get to taste all its products before purchasing. I bought a dozen packets of their yummy pork and chicken floss. Meat floss is popular with young kids and the elderly. Porridge or rice tastes better when a handful is sprinkled over it. The factory produces beef, fish and prawn floss too.
My jaws dropped when I see several tourists buying cartons of the products. The factory will packed huge purchases into cartons for free.
The owner of the factory reared some wild animals in its premises. Besides bats, monkeys, snakes.... etc, I was surprised to see several lions. I bet they find me juicy. hahaha.....

Last day in Bali and yet so eventful :) You must be surprised to see lion at the backyard!
ReplyDeleteThat drink looks delicious! I would love to visit Bali one day :)
ReplyDeleteFirst fruit called "tomat belanda" at my hometown.Normally it is good for anemia people. If add to the passion fruit juice(markisa), it will add fragrance and the color :)
ReplyDeleteIs that a plum in the first picture? The juices look delicious!
ReplyDeleteThose juices look very appetizing. I have tried to make a smoothie with avocado but I didn't put any sugar and it was quite bland. Next time, I'll add some sugar
ReplyDeleteI love avocados juice too.
ReplyDeletelove those thirst-quenching drinks.
ReplyDeletehappy weekend.

Michael,
ReplyDeleteI was surprised to see all those wild animals. According to the locals, it cost a lot to be able to rear them.
Last day in Bali and we were also harassed by the police. $$$$
:D
Sue,
ReplyDeleteTry to go to Bali once in your life time. It's a beautiful place.
You can pop over to Singapore to visit me too. :)
Thanks Umi!
ReplyDeleteTomat Belanda means Holland tomato?
I didn't know its properties I'll buy the fruit back the next time I go to Indonesia. Markisa is another yummy juice!
Gran,
ReplyDeleteThe fruit looks like a plum, it is a Indonesian fruit. Suppose to be a tomato. :P
UAN,
ReplyDeleteThe fruit juices are good, especially the avocado juice!
You should add some sugar to the smoothie.
stanley,
ReplyDeleteawww.... there is a juice stall selling a great avocado drink at Beach Road hawker centre.
ewok,
ReplyDeleteHappy weekend!
A delicious mystery fruit indeed!
ReplyDeleteFine juices, ECL!! perfect for the theme :)
ReplyDeleteyummy juice and foods...Happy hunting...
ReplyDeleteOh! I am surprised to know that they allow rearing of lions as pets. It must be a costly pet to keep (besides being dangerous) imagining the amount of meat that goes into feeding them...
ReplyDeleteThe avocado drink looks really delicious...have to try that! I hope I can find the palm sugar.
ReplyDeleteHappy weekend!
I like pork floss sandwiches. Wonder how they'd go with that avocado juice you described in your post... ;b
ReplyDeleteChristy,
ReplyDeleteIt's not a mystery fruit to me now. :P
Thanks Mar!
ReplyDeleteHappy weekend!
Happy photo hunting gengen!
ReplyDeleteDenesa,
ReplyDeleteI was equally surprised to see the wild animals in the factory's premises. It is indeed costly to maintain and feed them. I'm also concern about the safety.
Randi,
ReplyDeleteThe avocado drink is truly delicious.
It is loaded with calories too. :P
YTSL,
ReplyDeleteI love pork floss sandwich too!
I haven't tried eating pork floss sandwich with the avocado drink but I'm pretty sure they would be go well with each other. :)
Sorry ECL,wrong info. that fruit call "terong belanda" not tomat belanda :p, family of Solanaceae.
ReplyDeletefurther info can get from
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tamarillo
No need to fly to Bali to get it, North Sumatra will be closer ;)
ok, thanks UMI.
ReplyDeleteterong is brinjal?
haha... I think I can get it from Bandung.
Great collection of juicy photos. I love avocado smoothie!
ReplyDeleteHave a wonderful weekend.
Liz @ MLC
You've done it again ECL. You've taken me along for a ride to an exotic location.
ReplyDeleteThe drinks look very very yummy. You always take such good pictures.
I don't know if I could drink the Avocado one or not though.
Here we take avocados, smash them up, add a little lime, salsa and mayonnaise and make into guacamole, a dip eaten with tortilla chips!!
Happy day and hugs,
Jackie
hahaha! i love your last sentence! these lions are probably getting fat from eating the unsold BBQ meat.:p
ReplyDeleteI love fruit juices ! Now I am thirsty !
ReplyDeleteeeek! Lions in the vicinity!
ReplyDeleteHummm...avocado shake sounds good :)
ReplyDeleteGotta try it sometime as we have plenty avocados all year round here in Algarve.
Good weekend :)
Great post for the theme. I love fresh squeezed juice.
ReplyDeletei love avocado shakes.. shooting and yummy.. with some bitter taste.. i just love em.. did you enjoy the trip?
ReplyDeleteThe drinks look marvellous, so cool and delicious not to mention refreshing!!!! How interesting to find a place where they sell so many interesting things.
ReplyDeleteI'm not sure - well I am sure - I don't really approve of anyone keeping wild animals ... it's not a good life. As you say though you must have looked a tasty meal for the lions .... have you ever read the poem - if not here is a link to it - they once used to play a recorded version on English radio:http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/albert-and-the-lion/
Just in case you want to listen to the original record here it is:

Thankfully, you didn't meet Wallace!!!!
Have a lovely weekend. :)
The drinks do look intereting. I love avocado, but I'm not sure I'd like it as a drink. However, I would try it. It's always neat to read about other countries.
ReplyDeleteHi Liz,
ReplyDeleteGood to see you again! So they serve avocado smoothie in the Philippines too. :)
Jackie,
ReplyDeleteI hope you could come visit us in South East Asa one day. Lots of experiences and stories to tell when you go back. :)
I have not tried making my own guacamole, maybe I should try it. I love my tortilla chips with cheese, haha...
Hugs to you too!
Luna Miranda,
ReplyDeleteAs the factory has to process the meats into floss and BBQ meat each day, the owner probably gets his meat cheap in large quantities, so he is able to feed his wild animals.
I'm a piece of meat to the lions. :P
Gattina,
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on being a Grandma!!
You need to take a seat and drink lots of champagne! :D
Lina,
ReplyDeleteYes!
roar....roar....
:D
Mize,
ReplyDeleteLucky you!
Our avocados are imported and are costly. It is expensive to make a glass of avocado smoothie. So whenever I'm in Indonesia, I have avocado smoothie everyday!
Hello Carver,
ReplyDeleteHere's to us, healthy juices!
i like fresh squeezed juices to quench my thirst.
ReplyDeleteFelipe Juan,
ReplyDeleteBeautiful scenery, great food and drinks and the locals warmly welcome us in Bali.
I enjoyed myself on the trip.
Kloggers/Polly,
ReplyDeleteThere is so much of the world waiting to be explored outside our own cities and towns. It's pretty interesting to see how others live in their part of the world.
I was shocked to see the wild animals in captivity. In our human world of capitalism, the wealthy and powerful are able to do whatever they like by paying money.
Thanks so much for the links. You are always so helpful.
ourhomeschool,
ReplyDeleteThe avocado smoothie is refreshing albeit a little fattening. :)
Hi ECL, I love freshly-squeezed fruit juice too! That yellow drink sure looks interesting...
ReplyDeleteWow bela lions? Gimme a cat any day lol! :)
ReplyDeletehaha! you are funny. i do hope they don't find us juicy! i enjoy having fruit juice as well, genuine ones have such a refreshing feeling to it.
ReplyDeletei don't know that fruit too but I can definitely agree with you with avocado, that's so good!
ReplyDeletehappy thanksgiving ECL!
i SENT YPOU SOMETHING, i HOPE YOU'LL RECEIVE IT SOON.
