Ais Tingkap drink at Tamil Street

Lingzie recommends, "When in Tamil Street, try the famous Window Sherbet (Ais Tingkap). This drink has been around since the late 1920s. It was first sold over a window, hence the name.

"Ais Tingkap is a cold drink made up of shaved ice, rose syrup, and basil seeds (which expands into a translucent seed with a black "eye" inside, looking very much like tadpole's egg!) The drink is then topped up with coconut flesh and coconut water.

Lastly a spray of secret herb mixture is added. Very refreshing indeed! This stall operates from 8am-2pm. Closed on Sundays."
