nomming across the country: series 3
This is the drinks series..
In this series: ABC from Ipoh Stadium, 100 Plus, sirap bandung, tembikai susu and tea. Plain ol’ tea.
My mom likes to tell me when she was a kid her dad would take her out to the kopitiam, he’d order his tea and she was allowed to drink the spillover off the saucer. (Lat also tells the same story, if you guys read his books.) So mom would always pray that the guy bringing them the teh would have really shaky hands… I hope to use that image in my movies one day.
Fuck Gatorade. 100Plus wins at life. But it’s got competition now – 7Up has something called Revive.
The elixir to combat Ipoh’s searing heat is this shaved ice concoction. Omnomnomnom. That is all.
Watermelon juice, some condensed milk, a little more evaporated milk and you get tembikai susu.
This slightly more alarming pink thing is pure sugar rush. Do you guys like sirap bandung? I’m more of a sirap limau girl myself.

That is SO NOT “plain ol’ tea”. That is like, tea with all the trimmings. You can’t get tea like that at Starbucks.

Ppft – Sigh. Ok, fine, whatever.

I am a sirap limau gal too. Pink foods/beverages are the best aren’t they?
