A Glass Of Ais Tingkap RM1.50

Ais tingkap is fresh coconut juice flavoured with rose essence and herbs, based on a Sri Lanka recipe. It has been described as the most thirst quenching drink and a good cooling effect for a hot day to release body heat. It may look like an ordinary rose syrup filled with shaved ice and coconut meat but is is actually made with many ingredients, such as basil seeds, coconut meat, coconut water, rose essence and a spray of secret juice (20 ingredients).
