BANDUNG ICE CREAM
Bandung ice cream is the dessert version of the drink. The Bandung drink does not originate in the city of Bandung in Indonesia as I thought. The drink means "pairs" or "joined" referring to its ingredients of rose syrup and milk. It has roots in British colonial Singapore in the early 20th century. Whether it was invented by a British gentleman or by someone in the Malay community is not clear. Today bandung is popular throughout Southeast Asia, and is sold in cans and bottles, and as ice cream.
