I liked how unpretentiously local its taste is - one spoonful of it is enough to cue you to think of Bandung. Add a squeeze of the lime piece and prepare to colour your palette with its sharp tartness. This effectively cuts the sweetness which can get overbearing especially with rose-flavoured sweets.

I liked it better than the Horlicks Dinosaur flavour, albeit marginally. I'm gonna take a gander and say that it's because the sirap limau is a drink that Malay people like myself have grown up closely with. I think it made me a little nostalgic as well, as it made me think to the times I used to visit my relatives in the kampungs of Malaysia. Sigh. But anyway, overall verdict - this was pretty good! I can 100 percent see myself having this on the go. 😛 (7.9/10)
