George Town - Penang Road Famous Teochew Chendul

We passed this alley a number of times before stopping in, noticing the two cendol stands across from each other. Doing a bit of research, it turns out one of them is quite famous - you can even tell from their name: Penang Road Famous Teochew Chendul.

On a hot afternoon, we finally stopped in to try it. We got ours "less sweet", and that was perfect for us.

You can customize cendol in various ways, but the default version here is coconut milk and ice, sweetened with palm sugar - with the additions of pandan-flavored rice "noodles" and some red beans.

The stall also has a cool mural on the wall behind it.
