Whenever a tourist takes the opportunity to travel to a foreign country, surely they'll love to explore the food and beverages besides the scenic places that the country has to offer.
Here comes a social media personality and TikToker, Luke Damant who documented his trip around Malaysia on his TikTok account <a href="https://www.tiktok.com/@lukedamantclip">@lukedamantclip.</a> There were fragments of video clips showing how much he enjoyed while venturing to Kuala Lumpur, especially a pink drink that caught his attention. The drink in question is none other than our local beverage &lsquo;Sirap Bandung&rsquo;.

Curious by it, he asked a local what the pink drink was and the local told him that it was known as &lsquo;Sirap&rsquo; which many Malaysians associate with. At the same time, he was also keen to know what the Sirap was made of. This is where the drink vendor briefed him in terms of how the drink was prepared.

Without thinking twice, he gave it a try to the four-ringgit drink because never try never know, right? 
Lo and behold, the Australian traveller came to be aware that the pinkish drink consisted of Amina Rose syrup, condensed milk, hot water as well as lots of ice cubes.

He then recalled that the drink was similar to what he had in India and it tasted exactly the same! He said, &ldquo;It tastes flowery and like cotton candy at the same time. It&rsquo;s like, got the most unique taste, ever. This is so refreshing on a hot day here in Kuala Lumpur.&rdquo;

Amazed by the uniqueness of the drink, he concluded that it was a &ldquo;pink candy floss drink.&rdquo;

The video ends with him paying the cashier for his drink. Noting that it was RM4 as said by the seller, he passed on a five-ringgit note to her and asked her to keep the change. Wow, isn&rsquo;t Luke a generous tourist?

However pleased he was, there were netizens who were surprised and felt like he was being overcharged and that they were unhappy about. 
Here is an array of comments that they made:
