Es Krim Petrus

One reference for your leisure time......

Es Krim Petrus  is located in front of SMA Santu Petrus. Actually the name is not Es Krim Santu Petrus, but people prefer to call it es krim Petrus. This is my favorite place to buy ice cream since I moved here. 

Some delicious flavors available here. You can try chocolate, strawberry, jack fruit, and sometimes durian.
