Pakcoy Ice Cream from Bandung City Gets Praise from Italy

Unmitigated, their pakcoy ice cream was directly praised by
Head of Milan Urban Food Policy Pact (MUFPP) Secretariat, Filippo Gavazzeni.

“I am Filippo, from Italy. Earlier, I tried Pakcoy ice cream at Buruan Sae Sauyunan. It feels really good,” he said, Wednesday, August 4, 2022.

Filippo's presence in Bandung is part of a series of Urban 20 (U20) events which will take place on 3-4 August 2022. This event carries the theme "Improving City Food Security and Creating Future Work Through Culture and Technology-Based Urban Farming".

Previously, this activity was opened at Parahyangan Catholic University, Tuesday, August 3, 2022. Regional Assistant for the Economy of the Bandung City Secretariat Eric M. Attauriq said that on the second day, seminar participants will see firsthand the activities of Buruan Sae as an effort to create a more food-independent city of Bandung.

"So they can see the facts on the ground and see how the community participates actively in the development of food security," said Eric.

This pakcoy ice cream made by Buruan Sae Sauyunan has been in production since 2022. The head of Buruan Sae Sauyunan, Ambu Enok said that the idea of ​​making an ice cream product started with the abundance of pakcoy vegetables in their fostered garden.

He also divulged the composition of the pakcoy ice cream, which you can actually try to make at home. In addition to pakcoy as the basic raw material, there are several other food ingredients as a composition.

Enok said, the ingredients for the pakcoy were added with pure milk, cassava tape, cake softener, mayzena flour, salt, and ice cubes. After all the ingredients are presented, you can put it in the refrigerator cooler.

In terms of taste, this Pakcoy ice cream in the style of Buruan Sae Sauyunan dares to compete! Besides the sweet taste due to the sugar content, we barely even recognize the pakcoy flavor palette in the ice cream.

For those of you who have difficulty eating vegetables, you can try this pakcoy ice cream as an alternative.

Furthermore, pakcoy ice cream at Buruan Sae Sauyunan is also for sale. One small size Pakcoy ice cream is priced at IDR 2,500.

However, Enok explained, the sale of Pakcoy ice cream here is still in a limited range. The farmer groups here have not yet marketed it online. So, you need to come to the location of Buruan Sae Sauyunan to try it out.

"If you want to buy while still have to come here. We haven't sold it online yet," he said. (ray)**
