Teochew Cendol|The Beloved Penang Street Dessert Worth Queuing for
Inheriting the old taste of three generations, the cold taste that is sweet in my heart
On a steamy afternoon in Penang, a bowl of icy Cendol is the ultimate refreshing treat. This stall, “Penang Famous Teochew Cendol”, has a history of over 60 years. Founded by Mr. Chan Chong Kim, it is now run by the third generation, still committed to making everything fresh daily — a beloved spot cherished by both locals and visitors alike.
The key to classic flavor: just the right proportion
A perfect bowl of Cendol may look simple, but it conceals delicate craftsmanship and skill.
The green jelly noodles, made from pandan leaf juice, are paired with creamy red beans, rich coconut milk, and deeply fragrant palm sugar syrup, then topped with a generous mound of shaved ice. The balance of ice and syrup, milk and beans, soft and silky textures is just right — sweet yet never cloying. This perfect harmony is what keeps the crowd coming, making people willing to stand and savor every bite.
