Best Ice Kacang in Ipoh

Written by Updated ago

Ice kacang is also known as “Ais Batu Campur” or by its local acronym - “ABC”, and was originally served as a mound of shaved ice lavished with a concoction of red beans, grass jelly, roasted peanuts, coated with evaporated milk, spoonfuls of gula Melaka (palm sugar), rosewater syrup and sweet corn puree. While the traditional ones are still around, in today’s modern world, this icy saccharine-like dessert has turned into a flamboyant dessert with luscious toppings and ingredients ranging from assorted fruit flavours to neon-coloured syrups and basil seeds. More often than not, this dessert is found at roadside stalls, among a cluster of hawkers at a food court, and restaurants. Given the sweltering heat from our unpredictable weather, nothing pleases your throat like a bowl of ice kacang. In the meantime, here is a list of the best ice kacang in Ipoh, served traditionally or with modern adaptations.
