My favourite drink from the Hawker Centre! When you visit any of Singapore's Hawker stalls, look out for a pink coloured drink. That's Bandung. This recipe is really from scratch. This drink is served in glass to show off the pink colour.

I think, I think, I think I like this! Though it did take a while to decide. The flavor of the rose water is quite unusual for me, and it will take some time to get the strength right. I did not have cochineal food coloring, so just used the red food coloring I could get easily. The egg shell and white left the syrup crystal clear after I had strained it through 2 thicknesses of gauze - my wire strainer was too coarse. Thank you very much for posting this recipe. It's always nice to get acquainted with new flavors.Reply
