During Ramadan, the workplace in Indonesia transforms into a lively hub of togetherness as employees prepare to break their fast. A key highlight of this communal experience is takjil, the light snacks and beverages enjoyed before the main meal. These delightful treats not only satisfy hunger but also foster social connections among colleagues, especially in workplace settings.


Here’s a look at some ideas of takjil choices to share in the office during iftar
1. Fruit Cocktail
Fruit cocktail (es buah) stands out as the most favored takjil among Indonesian workers during Ramadan. This refreshing fruit cocktail typically includes an assortment of fruits such as melon, papaya, and young coconut, served chilled with syrup or sweetened condensed milk. Its hydrating properties make it an ideal choice for reenergizing after a day of fasting.
2. Dates
Dates (kurma) are a traditional favorite for breaking the fast in many cultures, including Indonesia. Known for their natural sweetness and high energy content, dates provides an instant boost after a long day without food or water. Many employees enjoy sharing various types of dates during iftar, making them a staple at workplace gatherings.
3. Kolak
Kolak is another beloved option, featuring bananas, sugar palm fruit, and sweet potatoes cooked in coconut milk and palm sugar. This warm dessert is particularly comforting and provides a quick energy boost, making it popular for breaking the fast in the office.
4. Fried Snacks
Fried snacks, or gorengan, are ubiquitous during Ramadan and are often enjoyed for iftar. These can include items like fried tofu, tempeh, and various fritters. Their savory flavors and crispy textures are perfect for sharing among colleagues.
5. Iced Drinks
Iced drinks are a refreshing way to quench thirst after fasting. Popular options include es kelapa muda (young coconut ice) and es campur (mixed iced fruit). These beverages not only cool down the body but also add a festive touch to the iftar experience at work.
