Singapore – Raffles’s “Shaddock Flavoured Lemonade”

Happened to be re-reading Andre Malraux’s The Conquerors at the moment which has a mention of Raffles Hotel in Singapore around 1925 (and published in 1928)….am intrigued by “shaddock flavoured lemonade”….

“…the Raffles Hotel, with its stiff, bare garden, its palms from the Botanical Gardens, its Sikh porter and its Chinese “boys”. Its lemonade with a shaddock flavour is the best in Asia…”

Shaddock, by the way, is I think better known these days as pomelo (citrus maxima), and looks rather like a big grapefruit. I am now seeking one out to squeeze into some lemonade.
