Best Cendol in KL

Written by Updated ago

Although today’s generation of youth culture may have been exposed to more fanciful offerings of desserts such as frozen yogurt, gelato, soft serve and whatnot, there’s always a place in the heart for a good old-fashioned local dessert. One such example is our local favourite cendol — the familiar sweet sensation consists of finely-shaved ice loaded with thick Gula Melaka syrup, coconut milk, red beans and of course… the soft and chewy texture of green cendol strands.

    It’s strange enough that a Nyonya restaurant only offered one type of dessert in the menu and it is none other than cendol. But the Straits Food Company’s version of cendol is a nice complement to end your meal. Filled with a mountaintop of shaved ice almost reminiscent of an ice kacang presentation, the cendol here is a delightful blessing of creamy coconut milk, sweet kidney beans and flavourful Gula Melaka.
    Tips

    Relive your childhood memory by purchasing their old-fashioned biscuit varieties from the black-squared container (RM2 per pack) located nearby the counter.

    Things to expect

    Local Nyonya delight in an old-school setting.

    Pai Tee, a traditional Peranakan snack filled with chopped vegetables, egg strips and fried shallots wrapped inside the crispy “Top Hat” pocket.

    Most locals would flock to this area for rojak or curry mee but did you know that the cendol is pretty famous too? It is great to drop by the cendol stall for a light and cooling refreshment in the evening as Pak Su's homemade soft cendol strands have a light pandan fragrance and a creamy finish, attracting many to enjoy them while waiting for other food in the area. It is also well packed with tons of cendol jelly, and you can also have the option for pulut if you wish.

    Calling the place as “the best cendol in town” would be an overstatement, but Restoran Wahab’s does provide a wide variety of colourful cendol for cendol lovers to choose from.Not every day you get to see a bowl of ice-cold cendol with “nangka” (jackfruit) topping. If you want something more “challenging”, there’s the Cendol Special – a rich concoction of ABC-like ingredients such as ice cream, banana, sweet corns, tapai ubi (fermented tapioca), pulut (glutinous rice) and barley. Yes, it’s a lot and certainly not for the weak stomach if you plan to polish the whole bowl all by yourself.
    Tips

    Cendol durian is also available, but only during seasonal period.

    Things to expect

    A combination of classic and contemporary type of cendol available.

    Tucked on the ground floor of Brem Mall, this bright-green restaurant has been churning out one of the finest cendols in town. For more than three generations, they have been making their own Pandan Grass Jellies, which is soft and ethereal. The brimming bowl of dessert comes with a glacier of ice shavings submerged in fresh coconut milk and gula Melaka, a scoop of red beans, swirls of green jellies and slab of gooey pulut. Slither your spoon through, which permeates the sweetness of gula Melaka throughout the bowl. It’s a pleasant marriage of sweetness and texture at each bite, you would chug down the whole bowl at a blink. Moreover, they have widespread flavour profiles to further elevate your slurping joy – Nate De Coco, Durian and Sweet Ginger. People of Kuala Lumpur now know the best way not letting a blistering hot day go wasted. 

    Tips

    Their Durian version is made from the actual fruit itself, no artificial or colouring
