The part I'm having difficulty understanding is the "エスジュルツにカラパをごろごろ" part. I found out that エスジュルツ means orange juice in indonesian, but the rest of it I have absolutely no clue on what it means. What exactly is this server saying?
As much as I would like to be of help, this is more an Indonesian question than a Japanese one. All I can say with confidence is that 「エスジュルツにカラパをごろごろ」 means "there are big chunks of カラパ in the エスジュルツ."

EDIT: Miraculously, I got to talk to an Indonesian person today! She said "kelapa" meant coconut and it is sometimes put in fruit juices.


Your Japanese proficiency shall be in direct proportion
to your true interest in the Japanese Mind.
