The Best Cendol In the World

Or perhaps... the best cendol in MY world. Heh heh...

I'm sure you all have your favourite vendors for your favourite foods. For me, the best cendol seller is this uncle who has been trading in my neighbourhood since I was a kid. No kidding, a bowl of his cendol then was just 35 cents!

Currently, his mobile stall is parked opposite the Taman Tun Shell, the one near the Balai Bomba, from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. Usually Rojak Kadir will be there too. If there's a long line of cars parked by the roadside, they must be there la.

One of the charms of this stall is the ice grater. Note that he doesn't use the metal ice shaver, he uses a wooden 'bench' with a knife in the middle. A wooden piece with nails holds the ice being shaved.

This jovial uncle currently sells a bowl of cendol for RM1.20, inclusive kacang merah, jagung and pulut. The drink is not overly sweet, tasty without being too rich. Just perfect. So the next time you're in the area, check it out. You've got nothing to lose :D
