Glass of bright pink rose milk over ice
🇸🇬 Singapore
Bandung is Singapore and Malaysia's cheerful pink drink: rose cordial stirred into evaporated or condensed milk until it glows a vivid pink, then served over ice. Sweet, floral, and nostalgic, it appears at hawker centres, weddings, and Ramadan bazaars — sometimes jazzed up with grass jelly or soda.
