Discover Tebing Tinggi's legendary Eskrim Pokat AU, a local sensation that grew from a tricycle into a must-visit shop. This isn't just ice cream; it's a decadent dessert featuring layers of creamy avocado puree, Milo powder, and brown sugar syrup. A true flavor explosion! This spot is incredibly popular, often selling out before 1 PM, so plan to arrive early and be ready to queue. It's an addictive treat that's well worth the wait.
Friends, who gets it? I made a special trip to Tebing Tinggi just for a bite, and I almost didn't get to eat! Everyone says this Eskrim Pokat AU is a lokal legend, starting from a street-side tricycle and growing into a proper shop. That's a story right there, I just had to try it!
An immersive ice cream experience, this combo is Anjay!
Finally my turn! Had to snap a pic, these layers are just too tempting! 🤩
At the bottom is a base of ice cream, in the middle is a thick layer of freshly blended avocado puree, topped with a generous sprinkle of Milo powder, and then drizzled with the essential brown sugar syrup. Scoop all the way to the bottom and pop it in your mouth, MANTAP! 🥑 The creaminess of the avocado perfectly balances the sweetness of the ice cream and syrup, while the Milo powder adds a hint of cocoa bitterness. The texture is on another level, this combo is seriously addictive!
And the atmosphere is better than I expected, not one of those dingy little eateries. The shop is clean, the seating is comfortable, and the guys serving are quick and efficient. Even though there were a lot of people in line, the food came out pretty fast. You can totally sit down and Nongkrong for a while.
Let's be real (just my two cents)
But to be fair, this thing is really sweet. The ice cream is sweet, the brown sugar syrup is also sweet. If you're not a major sweet tooth, you might find it a bit too much. Also, I feel like the amount of avocado is a bit random? Sometimes more, sometimes less. If you get less avocado, the sweetness will be more prominent, so it really depends on your luck.
