Gula Jawa (Javanese palm sugar) being poured into bamboo molds to set at a home manufacturer just outside of Pangandaran, West Java. It is made from the concentrated coconut palm nectar and has caramel overtones.
Sugar farm kid with a sugar sweet smile, who seemed to know just the right place to hang out to please the foreigners and their cameras.

I'm Ashlee, an Australian journalist-type obsessed with travel, food and photography. After spending 21 months living and working in Indonesia, I'm back in Australia for a while. From August, I will be a graduate student at American University's School of International Service in Washington D.C.
Sometimes I do serious work, but not usually on this blog.
