Alien Brew
Alien Brew is a drink consists of two main ingredients. Coca Cola and Vanilla ice cream! Sounds familiar? We adults, we know it as... coke float. So this happened, my nine year old niece shared to me that coke float (she thought I never tried or heard it before) is a very well known drink in America... coming from someone who'd spent the whole afternoon reading recipe books in the library. Meanwhile, her five year old brother diligently reading books on trains. It was the second weekend of Ramadhan, I promised Nia and Adam a trip to one of the biggest library in Singapore. They were so stoked.
Nia: Bibik, have you tried Alien Brew?
Me: What Brew?!
Nia: Alien Brew, it’s so easy to make! I want to make it for iftar later can?
Me: Can! Where do we find Alien-food-like? Can we use something else in the brew?
Nia: We just need a bottle of coke and vanilla ice cream, Bik.
Me: It’s coke floaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat lah.
Nia: But the coke can’t float, Bik.
oke float no more, let's call it Alien Brew!
I suggested Nia to customize party cups with her drawing. She liked the idea and hand illustrated some eerie aliens with an endearing little grin. She added speech bubbles with her version of alien languages. Then, added A L I E N B R E W at the bottom of the cups. Wow. At this point, that should be a great brand name with a great backstory, eh?
A delightful smile. Nia has been into cooking, making food and serving them on a tray since she was only three. She’s determined to prepare Alien Brew drinks for the family. She actually added gummy bears as topping on our drinks. Very sedap lah. If you are wondering why are her glasses so huge? That’s because her old glasses were broken, she sat on it. My sister in law got her bigger frame so that Nia won’t sit on her glasses again. Lol.
