Es Shanghai is a popular Indonesian iced dessert drink that features a refreshing blend of sweet, creamy, and chewy textures. It usually consists of shaved ice mixed with flavored syrup, coconut milk, and toppings such as grass jelly, nata de coco (coconut gel), red beans, and sometimes fruit pieces like jackfruit or avocado. The name “Shanghai” is more of a brand or style name and does not directly relate to the Chinese city.

This dessert is loved for its combination of flavors and textures, offering a cooling and sweet treat, especially during hot weather. The creamy coconut milk combined with the chewy jellies and refreshing ice makes Es Shanghai a favorite among Indonesians looking for a satisfying and delicious dessert drink.
