Indonesians often consume "takjil," snacks eaten immediately after breaking the fast during the holy month of Ramadan. These snacks can range from various iced drinks and kolak (sweet dessert soup) to various fried foods.
According to a survey by Kurious from the Katadata Insight Center (KIC), fruit ice is the most common takjil consumed by Indonesians during Ramadan.
56.9% of respondents admitted to consuming fruit ice as takjil when breaking their fast.
Besides fruit ice, respondents stated that they commonly consume dates as a snack immediately after breaking their fast (53.3%). Furthermore, 52.1% of respondents said they usually consume kolak when breaking their fast.
Some respondents also reported consuming various iced drinks, such as es cendol and es cincau, as takjil. This accounted for 45.6%. Then, 15.2% of respondents said they usually consume lontong (rice cake) to break their fast.
On the other hand, a smaller percentage of respondents (8%) ate a full meal immediately after breaking their fast.
The survey also showed that the majority of respondents break their fast at home (92%). Meanwhile, a small percentage of respondents break their fast on their way home (5.7%) and at the office or school (2.3%).
The majority of respondents (46.7%) spent Rp20,000-Rp40,000 on purchasing takjil, followed by those who spent less than Rp20,000 (25.2%) and Rp40,000-Rp60,000 (17.5%). A smaller percentage of respondents (2.2%) spent more than Rp80,000-Rp100,000 on takjil.
Kurious-KIC surveyed 599 respondents spread across various regions of Indonesia, with 48.2% male respondents and 52.8% female respondents.
More than half of the respondents were from Java (excluding Jakarta) (63.8%), followed by Jakarta (15.7%), and Sumatra (10.4%). Respondents from Sulawesi, Kalimantan, Bali-Nusa Tenggara, and Maluku-Papua ranged from 0.3%-4.3%.
Most respondents were aged between 35-44 years old (33.4%), followed by the 25-34 age group (29.9%) and the 45-54 age group (20.2%).
The survey was conducted from March 24-31, 2023, using the computer-assisted web interviewing (CAWI) method, with a margin of error of approximately 4% and a 95% confidence level.
