Happy cat :-) Unexpectedly found rose syrup for my favorite rose bandung. In Cebu of all places! (I'm too lazy to go to Indian grocery stores in Manila). Promptly made rose bandung and rose water summer quencher even if its bed weather the whole day *grin*

    1:4 for rose syrup to chilled milk or water...but for the rose bandung drink, add ice cubes to thin it out a bit, unless you like it a bit sweet...

    rose water is great for summer..I can't help but revel in its fragrance though...
    hmm...maybe if they didn't put some sweeter in it, I'd have placed it behind my ears...hahaha

    I drink the real thing. No diet Coke for me. It's got to be Coke Classic. Funny when I go to fast food places, I see people ordering diet drinks but eat Big Macs and Whoppers with tons of fries laden with sodium.

    from wiki:
    Bandung, sirap bandung, or air bandung is the name of a drink popular in Malaysia and Singapore.

    It consists of milk flavoured with rose cordial syrup, giving a pink colour. The drink is an adaptation of rose milk served in India.

    I think this post was somebody from Canada who tried to make bandung :-)

    anyway, I've always had a great fondness for this, along with teh tarik, as I consumed these by the glasses everytime I am in Singapore..I think I drove Helene to drink hahaha....

    I'd add a squirt of vodka to give it some kick.
