Sirap bandung – I just discovered the most amazing drink here in Taman Negara Malaysia. It’s made with rose syrup… it’s so delicious! Kind of tastes like strawberry milk when you put way too much strawberry quick in it. I have a feeling it has a lot of calories in it. But as long as I don’t know that for a fact, then I’m safe. Lol… plus after over 4 hours of jungle trekking I could use the extra calories.

Exotic Malaysian Ronbutan fruit.. it’s delicious
