Bandung Selasih & Kembang Semangkuk

 Just to show you how Kembang Semangkuk looks like below in case anyone has not seen/eaten it before. I don't know what is the dried fruit called in English. To prepare, soak the fruit in a bowl of water and it will be fully opened up after 10-15 minutes.

To prepare the Bandung, mix evaporated milk, rose syrup, ice, soaked basil seeds & Kembang Semangkuk..... very cooling! The Malay old folks said this drink can cool down overheated body.
