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 obsessed with travel, food and photography. After spending nearly two years working in Indonesia and six months in Washington DC, as well as a stint back home in Australia, I'm currently living in Dili, Timor Leste — the world's second newest country.
Sometimes I do serious work, but not usually on this blog.
